Goodbye
Dear Josh,
We can't do this anymore. I can't hurt Ivy. She's my best friend and she stuck with me through it all. I'm sorry, but I can't do it. I just can't.
You were the boy I loved. Before, I always thought I was in love, but when we broke up…I just lost it. I felt alone and I was sick to the stomach when you kissed Ivy. I wanted to be in her place. But, after all we've been through; I don't want to hurt Ivy.
Can you imagine what Ivy would say if she found out about us? She'd freak. Look, Josh, I hate to do this, but we can't be together. There can't be a we. The reason I'm sending you a letter instead of telling you is I'm crying. I'm crying for you and me. We can't be together as long as you and Ivy is with you. We just can't.
And, while it kills me to tell you this, you need to know. No matter how much I love you, Josh, I have to say this: goodbye. I loved our time together, but everything leaves. Now, I'm saying goodbye to you, goodbye to everything. I'm so, so sorry, Josh. I'm so sorry…
With love, regards, and sadness,
Reed
What'd you think? Any advice is welcome, but if it's bad, at least try to say it a nice way. Please?
