Dear Lost Love,

You have no idea how much it hurt me to see you just sitting there while your new girlfriend humiliated me in front of all the juniors at lunch.

I was, for lack of a better word, crushed.

I've said this before in the first letter, but I just don't understand. What was your reason for leaving me for Holly? I know she's beautiful - Lord knows she's stunning. She could be a model if she wants to be. But she was my friend, so I know she wants to be a lawyer instead. Beautiful, strong, independent. Is that why you want her and not me? Because I'm not like that? I don't even know what I want to do in my future.

I keep hoping that you will come to your senses and dump Holly. I would take you back in a split second, even though Kate and all of my other friends disapporive. I need you like I need air to breathe. Maybe that's being a little melodramatic, but that's how I feel.

Alice told me today that her sister told her that my step-brother was coming home from the weekend. Bryan never did like you. If he finds out you hurt me, he's going to be on the hunt for your blood. It makes me a little queasy to think about him hurting you. I don't want him to hurt you even though you hurt me.

I remember when we first started dating and Bryan interrogated you, you were sure that he had feelings for me. I remember that I laughed the hardest in my life then - Bryan having a crush on me? It was just unthinkable. Besides, he was five years older and I was pretty much his little sister, though not by blood.

But I always thought your jealousy and possessiveness was cute. Those were just qualities that made me love you so much. I find it hard to believe that Holly can ever give you this much love. If she was able to stab my back so easily, then it probably won't be hard for her to stab yours either. I wish you'd break-up with her before she hurts you.

But going back to what I first wrote about, why did you not stop Holly from embarrassing me? I know we're not dating anymore and she's your girlfriend now, but to hurt me so blatantly? Was that necessary? Did you really have to hurt me more than you already did?

Sigh. Every passing day makes my heart splinter just a little bit more. You always did say I had a flare for the dramatics. Well, here I am in all my glory. But it's not enough for you anymore.

I'm sorry. I don't know what I did to push you to leave me behind, but I apologize for it. I'm crying while I'm writing this letter - I've been crying for the past week. I just want you to take me back. I miss you. I love you.

Forever Yours,

Rachel
