After the final bell had rang, ending this torturous day, I headed straight to my locker. I opened it and an envelope fell from tthe stack of books and wrinkled paper that took up most of my locker. I reached down and picked up the envelope, on the front written in cursive was Sprat. I opened the envelope and my smile dropped at the words written before me.
Dear Vlad,
I am so sorry, Vlad, for the choice I have made. Please, do not repeat my actions. Unlike me, you have something to live for. You have great friends and a gaurdian that loves you. Everyday people like, Bill and Tom, always made me feel worthless, as though I wasn't good enough for you. My father constantly hits me. My family hates me. Iam sorry, if it is 4:00p.m. Imay already be dead. Please, remember, Vladimir, thtat I will always love you.
I'll always be with you,
-Sprat
A single tear rolled down my cheek, and I shook my head as I read the last few words. I clutched the letter to my chest as I broke into a run. I quickly asked Snow where Sprat lived, and continued my run. I was panting and streams of tears were running down my face. I was running out of breath, but I coudn't stop running, his house was in view. I quickly checked my watch, 3:50. I burst through the front door and ran up the stairs my heart aching with every step at the thought of what I might find.
I ran through his bedroom door and paused. Sprat was sobbing into his hands as he sat on the carpeted floor of his room. A gun was sitting in front of him. He didn;t have to look up to know it was me. "Is it wrong?" He said into his hands. "Is what?" I questioned.
"That I love you," he said looking up at me with eyes reddened from his crying. He had just then noticed my tear covered face.
"No,never, and this is not how to solve your problems." I whispered sitting down next to him, pulling him into a one-arm hug as I held out my other hand and said,"Sprat, please-give me the gun." He gently picked up the gun and placed it in my hands.
I placed the gun as far as I could without distubing Sprat who was now crying into my chest. "I love you, too." I said. "Wh-what?" He stammered. "I love you, Sprat." I said taking his hand in my own. I leant down and kissed him. It lasted no more than a mere three seconds, but within those few seconds his heart had skiiped a beat and was now beating rapidly against his chest aas though all his dreams had came true.
I looked down at him, he gave me a light smile. His smile soon faded as he spoke, " I'm sorry, Vlad." "Just Promise me you will never scare me like that again. K?" I replied. "I promise." Was his response. "I love you." I said once again. " I will always love you." He replied giving me a gentle kiss.
