First Revelation

"What's going on?" she asked. Kimi pulled a letter out of her pocket with Lil's name on it and handed it too her. Lil took it and looked at it.

"This is Tommy's hand writing," she said knowingly. Kimi nodded.

"Just read it," she said

Lil looked at Kimi a little confused before she took the letter out. The envelope was already opened she figured Kimi had read it before coming over here and she was anxious to see what it said. She unfolded it and began to read it out loud.

Dear Lil,

Every time I'm around you I find it hard to come up with the words to say how I feel about you. So I decided to write it down hopefully this letter could convey all these feelings and more.

Some one once told me it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all. I never knew what that meant until I started having feelings for you. At first I thought they were just a passing phase and would go away.

But they didn't go away as a matter of fact they started growing stronger. So strong in fact, that I found myself thinking about you all the time. Wondering what you were doing, hoping that you were thinking about me too.

Then when I was around you I never wanted to leave your presence. Just being around you made my day 100 times better no matter how good or bad it was already. And when you were sad I just wanted to take you and hold you and make everything better.

You're beautiful Lil, the most beautiful person I've ever met, inside and out. I just want to make you happy in any way I can. I want to be the person you can come to and count on when you need someone. Because I want you to be that person for me, I feel like you already are.

In short I'm trying to say that I'm in love with you, and if you let me I, I'll spend the rest of my days trying to make each moment with you better than the last.

Love Tommy,

Lil finished the letter in tears, so much so that they stained the letter. She put the letter down on her lap and turned to Kimi who looked at her sympathetically.

"Where'd you get this?" she asked slowly through her tears.

"I found it in Chuckie's room" she said softly, "But look at the date on it" she said to her. Lil lifted the letter back up and read the date out loud in disbelief.

"June 3rd 2011" she put it down quickly. "He wrote this last school year"

"Before he left for camp, before you got with Chuckie before everything" said Kimi sadly, she couldn't believe Chuckie would do something like this.

"But that doesn't explain why Chuckie had it" said Lil confused.

"Phil told me that Tommy wrote you a letter explaining how he felt last year and gave it to Chuckie to give to you" Lil turned to her quickly.

"What?"

"Yeah but I didn't want to believe that he would keep it from you without concrete evidence, it took me two weeks of secret snooping but I found it in an old comic book of his in the garage"

"What?"

"I know how you felt about Tommy back then, so when I found it I brought it straight to you, Lil I'm so sorry for my brother's behavior, but you two need to talk" said Kimi

"Damn right we do" said Lil getting angry.

Chuckie was on cloud nine. Everything with him and Lil was back to normal. Tommy and him were sill friends sort of and everything was great. He was driving to Lil's house to pick her up for their date tonight. It was their three-month anniversary and he was taking her to a nice restaurant.

He pulled up in front of her house and got out the car. He knocked on the door and Phil invited him in.

"Hey dude," he said happily. Phil let him in but glared at him.

"She'll be down shortly," he said angrily before going back upstairs. What his deal, Chuckie thought but decided not to worry about it. He'd probably gotten into another fight with Kimi; he'd talk to her about it when he got home. Lil came down stairs looking radiant in her blue spaghetti strap dress and black pumps.

"Hey beautiful" he said kissing her on the cheek. She accepted it but didn't say anything back. That's awkward he thought.

"Ready to go" she said quickly opening the door. He walked behind her closing it.

"Sure," he walked to the car and opened the door. She got in without a word and he got in on his side and pulled off.

"I got us reservations at this really cool restaurant," he said smiling.

"Great" she said a little disinterested.

"Is something wrong," he asked. She shook her head no "Well relax ok I'm sure this will be a night to remember" he said confidently.

"Oh it will be" she said smirking patting her purse with the letter in it.

Kimi and Phil were upstairs in his room and after looking out his window to make sure they pulled off Phil sat down on the bed next to Kimi.

"You think you did the right thing by giving her the letter?" he asked.

"She deserved to know Phil even if it is kinda late," said Kimi

"Yea you're right" he sighed," I can't believe Chuckie would do that," said Phil shaking his head.

"People do crazy things when they think they're in love" she said smiling. "But he's gonna pay for it tonight by losing the one thing he lied and fought so hard to keep."

"Lil"

"Yep and nothing's gonna hurt worse than that, I just hope Tommy will still talk to her"

"He's been really depressed since they ended their thing, I don't think he'll wanna see her let alone talk to her," said Phillip.

"Yeah well true love never really dies," she said kissing him on the cheek.

"I hope you're right," said Phillip

Lil and Chuckie got to the restaurant and the hostess took them to their seats after being seated and ordering drinks Chuckie started to talk.

"So Lil, I'm really happy we've made it through everything" he said grabbing a small box out of his pocket. "And to celebrate I have something I want to give you" he said beginning to open the box.

"Chuckie you're sweet," she said with a fake smile "But I have something I want to give you first to celebrate this "Relationship" she finished. She pulled out the letter and placed in front of Chuckie. His eyes grew wide with realization

"What is this?" he asked pretending.

"Cut the bullshit Chuckie, I read it and saw the date, and also heard that at the end of last school year Tommy gave it to you to give to me" Chuckie coughed nervously.

"Wait Lil let me explain"

"What is there to explain huh?" she asked getting louder "That you're a liar, a lousy friend or just a complete and utter ASSWHOLE!" she yelled standing up. People were starting to look their way.

"Wait Lil, please calm down" he said looking around "People are starting to stare.

"I don't give a fuck about these people, just like you didn't give a fuck about me or Tommy's feelings!"

"That's not true, look just calm down ok, we can talk this through"

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US" she yelled again. The waiter came over quickly.

"Miss please I'm gonna have to ask you to lower your voice or leave."

"Don't worry I'm leaving now" said Lil "We're through, this fake relationship, whatever friendship we had before, everything, don't talk to me, don't call me, don't even look at me."

"Lil" Chuckie said getting choked up.

"WE'RE DONE!" she grabbing the letter said leaving the restaurant and Chuckie behind. Chuckie just sat back and fiddled with the box he was going to give her. He opened it, inside was a small diamond. It was a promise ring, but now he saw that he would have to return it. He paid for the drinks and just sat there embarrassed letting this all sink in.

Lil caught a cab back home and rushed to Tommy's house. She saw that his parent's car was gone; she hoped he wasn't gone with them. She banged on the door furiously, shortly after a light came on in the house and someone came to the door. It was Tommy. He was dressed in sweat pants and a white t-shirt.

"Lil what are you doing here" he asked looking at her attire.

"Just let me speak ok" he invited her in and they sat in the living room.

"I'm an idiot, I should've seen something like this coming," she said.

"What are you talking about?" he asked confused.

"The letter you wrote last year, I never got it until yesterday" she said.

"What!" he practically yelled. "Chuckie told me he gave it to you and you didn't feel the same way about me"

"Yeah he also insinuated that to me about you last year when I asked him"

"Are you fucking serious, you mean all this time we could've been together"

"And my whole relationship with him was based on a lie…yes" she said "But I'm not here for that, yes I wanted to tell you, but I also was hoping that you would give me another chance" she said hopefully.

Tommy looked up at her and sighed.

"I don't know Lil you really hurt me," he said honestly.

"Look if you give me another chance" she said grabbing his face forcing him to look at her with those big blue eyes of his "I promise you I'll spend the rest of my days making each moment with you better than the last."

He looked at her and smiled, she smiled back "That's from my letter" he said remembering.

"I know, look Tommy I don't know a lot of things about love but I do know that I'm in love with you and I have been for a long time and the only thing that I want is for us to be together for as long as you'll have me"

"I love you too, and I'll have you for forever if you'd like" he said smiling.

"I'd like that very much," she said smiling and kissing him.

"But I have to deal with Chuckie" he said angrily.

"Let him wait till tomorrow" she said kissing him some more. He smiled through their kiss finally it felt like everything was right in his world.

The next day Chuckie was sulking, he didn't know how he could possibly fix this. When Kimi came home last night she yelled at him some more for being insensitive. He tried to call Phil but Phil wasn't talking to him either. He hadn't spoken to Tommy yet. The doorbell rang and he opened it.

"Tommy" he didn't say anything back he just cocked back and punched Chuckie square in the face. Chuckie fell on the floor and held his nose as Tommy came into view.

"I wanted to do much worse than that but Lil asked me not to, consider our friendship done," he said before walking out the door to Lil who was waiting for him. The two held hands and walked to wherever it was that they were going leaving Chuckie in a mess on the floor. He lost both of them in a short amount of time. But it seems as if the two of them finally found each other.
