You flip through the pages of your notebook as you wait for Tyler.

You read each page, thinking back to the day you wrote it.

Mute, the first thing you ever wrote to Tyler.

Useless, weird, disappointment, mistake, all the words your father called you.

I haven't stopped smiling since, Tyler. I haven't stopped smiling, your first concert.

The jagged edges where Tyler ripped out the page that said 'My dad hit me'

I like it when you sing

LEAVE ME ALONE

He sings, what you wrote when Josh first came to the park.

Why do you stay? Everyone always leaves after I tell them I'm, the day Tyler told you he would never leave you.

I SAVED UP ENOUGH MONEY. I'M GETTING MY OWN PLACE.

He hasn't been here for 5 days, what you wrote to Josh when Tyler tried to...

...do something terrible.

Please let me help you.

We need you.

You don't leave me alone.

You can do this.

You've already helped me.

You flip back to the beginning of your notebook, but an especially long entry on one of the pages catches your eye.

Do you think he loves you? He just feels sorry for you. Just like everyone does. No one is going to love you.

Reliving what your dad said that day would usually make you sad, but now you can't help but smile.

Your dad was wrong.

Tyler loves you.
