Set And Stone

Chapter 1: Dear Titus🥀

Dear Titus,
I thought I was rid of you. I thought your haunting smile would fade away. Fade out of my mind. You poisoned me. You know that? I was some good. Until the day I met you, you buttered me up and filled my ears with sweet nothings, things I wanted to hear. We laughed all day and we argued all night but I thought it was worth it. Until you tore right through my skin and ripped out my beating heart.

I've came up with every possible reason on why you would do this too me. Maybe you were drinking..... Nope, You never drank, not after your drunk of an uncle beat your aunt Mae nearly to death. Maybe you were on drugs... Never, not after your tainted young eyes saw your sister nearly dead on the cold tile floor after overdosing.

You're way of life is to live void, you're empty Titus. You feel nothing, I meant nothing to you, our sweet kisses were filled with your sorrow and pain how could you ever love me, if you don't love yourself? But you said you did...you put on that killer smile, that made the girls go wild. I couldn't see through it when we met but as time sped up I saw through your mask.

Behind that smile is who you truly are a broken boy. I was willing too fix you put together the pieces of your heart day by day. But the problem is Stone you weren't seeking my help, all you wanted was to play me, to make me weak, vulnerable and broken just like you and then, You were gone.

Only I found you that night, in the back of a Glade Valley police car. You were ready this is what you wanted. And I wish I knew then that this was the real you I could have saved my self a lot of heart break and pain. But I'm supposed to forgive and forget right? No way Titus Stone I will never forget and I guarantee you that I will never forgive you.

So here's my plan too NEVER EVER give you the chance too damage my already broken heart. But you will try you can't live without your play toy right? that's what you told me when you sat on the other end of the police Car, ready to confess to a crime you didn't commit. Someone else did that. The only crime you committed was the murdering of my heart. Now I'm void Titus Stone just like you.

Sent to Titus Stone 11:51 pm.

I know what it seemed like. But Titus and I never actually dated. We were friends. Then he confessed to me that he loved me or at least I thought he did.

We became closer and I started to explore the idea of us being together. I should have known then that it would never work. He told me, he told me it wouldn't work but I thought it was one of his selfish games. I was the stupid one.

But he knew how innocent and vulnerable I was and he prayed on my mind. He's not all to blame, I should have ran when I had the chance before it all went down, before that night.

My 16th birthday is today .

I wonder if Titus will get me anything.

I can't believe he told me he loved me already.

Can you truly love someone in that way at 15?

The chime of my phone went off, just as I was about to put on my shoes.
