25 CHLOE

Dear Alex,

After I came home I cried again.

Pathetic, I know.

And I also know that you were dying to see me cry.

That was your ultimate mission.

I looked at you sitting in your room through the window.

Yes, Alex, we're neighbours.

For almost nine years now.

But you never noticed.

You never cared.

I said I wondered why I ever loved you.

Truthfully,

I still love you.

I love you to the point that it hurts.

It hurts.

And I'm gonna end the pain.

Love,

CHLOE
