I know I'm posting this chapter the second after I posted chapter four, but consider it an early Christmas present (:


Derrick

We've been dating for forever now…since grade eight, right? And I love you but I can't do this anymore. Do us as a couple.

I slept with Kemp. I'm sorry. It was one of those drunken hookups that don't mean a thing. You and Massie probably both hate me. I'm so sorry.

Like I said, I was drunk, he was drunk and it was at Olivia Ryan's birthday party. You were off trying to talk to Claire and I just…I don't know, Derrick. I know we were both planning on saving ourselves for each other and I just went and totally fucked it up.

But that's why I'm breaking up with you. I care about you too much to let you be with someone like me.

Besides, I know how you feel about Claire. It's so obvious. I think maybe that's why I slept with Kemp. That night I just saw you trying and trying to get Claire's attention, and I was so tired of being second best to you, even though I was your girlfriend. So in an attempt to get your attention, I ended up getting Kemp's.

So goodbye. Know that I love you, but don't deserve you.
