Thanks be to EBT.
I missed you. I shouldn't have, but I did.
I had to keep reminding myself that I'd done the right thing.
While Bella smiled and laughed and kissed you and loved you.
While you two talked about going to Dartmouth together.
While tentative plans for prom were made.
While we sat next to each other in Calculus.
I had to keep reminding myself that I'd done the right thing.
Not just for me but for Bella, as well.
Especially for Bella.
And I battled over whether I should tell her the truth.
All of it.
