Dear Nick,
I wish I could tell you these words face to face, but the pain would be to great for both of us. I love you Nick, and I’m not sure I’ll ever love someone like you loved me, but I fell in love, with Brian. I don’t know how to tell you how bad I feel about hurting you like this, so I’ll tell you in two simple words. I’m sorry. Not just about hurting you, I’m sorry I met you, and yet, it might have been the best thing that has ever happened to me in this world. I love you Nick. Please, don’t hate me.
Love always and forever,
Mikayla

I dropped the letter and picked up the ring that had been lying beside it. A simple silver ring with a blue stone on it. My promise ring I gave her. I stared at it as the tears came to my eyes, then, clutching it to my heart, I let the pain tear what was left of my heart apart.

I woke up to the sun shining on my tear-stained face and the doorbell ringing persistently. “I’m coming, I’m coming!” I grumbled, standing up, causing my back to pop painfully. I half-stood, bent over like a hunchback as I stumbled half awake to the door, glancing in the mirror in the front hall I saw my face was tearstained, my eyes, bloodshot and puffy, my hair was every direction, and on top of it I looked like a hunchback from sleeping in a chair. Swinging the door open I came face to face with AJ.
“Good God Nick” he said after a moment, recovering the power of speech.
“Good morning to you” I grumbled, stepping aside and letting him in.
“I’ve seen hangovers before but this is the worst one I’ve ever seen, how much did you have Nick?”
I wasn’t drinking” I snapped at him
“What in the hell happened to you then?” I started to tell him when the doorbell rang again. I opened it to find Brian.
Hand in hand with Mikayla.
