dear j,
i was mad at you.
yes, i was.
you asked me if it was okay to hang out with you during the free time and i nodded because i wanted to hang out with you. you told me to meet you at the park.
and here i was at the park.
for five long hours, waiting for you.
i went home when it was getting dark. i heard my phone ring and it was you who called but i didn’t answer because i was pissed you stood up on me. i was waiting, feeling dejected as the seconds go by but you didn’t come. you kept calling me until i gave up and answered you on a three a. m.
“hello,” i answered in a monotonous tone.
“i’m so sorry i wasn’t able to go—“
“it’s fine.” i was still mad at you. i could hear a nervous chuckle from the end of the line.
“we can do it sometime then?” you offered.
“no.” and the line went dead.

dear j,
andrew is in front of my doorstep. i stop and stare at him. he was drenched in the weather, his hazel—now he told me that sometime—but are actually blue because of his blue shirt are on mine. a frown is casted on his lips. i glare at him and shut the door.
“a,” he calls, the nickname you’ve given me. i stiffen. i miss you, j, and him calling me my nickname is making me feel sick, sicker than the sickest patient in the hospital.
“go away,” i tell him, proceeding to push him but he won’t budge. i’m alone in this house just like i am.
“not until i check on you,” he insists.
i sigh. “you’re j’s girlfriend,” he starts.
tears brim in my eyes.
“leave me alone.”
he raises his hands in surrender.
“i’m sorry, j has been my friend too,” he says.
“go. away.” gritting my teeth, i push him and he falls out of balance. i feel bad a bit but he deserves it. he leaves, a worry look on his face. i glare in return and slam the door shut. i hate that i met him in the coffee shop, that i have classes with him.
i want him to leave me alone.
forever yours,
a
