"I BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH"
MADISON'S POV:
Shawn stared down into my guilty eyes. A pit of guilt formed in my stomach and I stumbled on my words.
"I-uh I-I just uh....I came, I-um,"
"What Madison?"
"We were just kissing," Matthew blurted from behind me.
Shawn had his focus on Matt but now he was back to staring into my eyes. He was angry and hurt, I could see the anger in his eyes. I can see everything from his eyes.
"Of coarse you guys were, because you know Madison. I mean so much to you that you took it out on Matt," Shawn said sarcastically as anger arose in his voice.
I didn't know how to explain. What I did was wrong on so many levels, there was no excuse for it.
"You know what Madison? You can go screw yourself. I obviously don't mean a damn thing to you! You and Matt look happy together," Shawn stormed off and drove away.
"Matthew," I squeaked.
"Look I'm sorry,"
"It's my fault. I'm gonna go home,"
I didn't let him say another word because I ran home as fast as I could. I'm pretty good at messing things up if you haven't already caught onto that. When I got home I burst through the door and saw my mom in the kitchen making supper.
"Oh hey Mads, Shawn just dropped by not that long ago he told me to give you this," she extended her hand and revealed a silver chain necklace with a heart locket.
I pushed back my tears not wanting to show my soft side to my mom. I snatched it from her and ran up to my room. That locket was something that Shawn gave me back in 8th grade when he promised me to never forget about him. I couldn't though because every good moment of us together was carved into my brain. I couldn't ever forget a face like him. I couldn't hate him.
We promised to never forget each other or break up our friendship when times got hard. Now was one of those times, this proved I hurt him a lot. I couldn't push back the tears anymore, I dropped to my knees and cried silently into my hands. I just needed the pain-that I have caused 99% of the time- to stop. I'm sick and tired of it all.
Shawn could fix that, if you didn't screw it up.
I put on the necklace and rubbed the locket between my thumbs, I opened it and saw a picture of Shawn and I laughing on one side of the heart. Then I saw a very small piece of paper folded up in the other side. I unfolded it and read it. It read:
Madison, what's gotten into you? My dear why can't we love each other? Love isn't simple but I know pretty well it's not this hard. I do love you, I meant it when I said it. I would have no other girl but you. I believe we can make it through. But you have to believe too, wear this necklace to school tomorrow. It'll show me that you love me too, and you believe in us. If not, I might as well stop going to school. You're the thing that keeps me going, gets me out bed every morning. I love you Madison, and I hope you feel the same. I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I was just blowing off steam,
With love,
Shawn xx
I clenched the small paper in my hands and closed my eyes. I ran through his letter over, and over, and over again in my head. I was going to wear that necklace tomorrow, no doubt about it.
