The First Time

Emma’s POV

Zack was my last patient. I walked out of his room feeling really miserable. Why did I say that to him? Yes, he broke my heart, but for a second there, he made me want to be a better person. He wasn’t a mistake. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. I checked out of the hospital and took a cab home. I was too lazy to walk and I have school tomorrow.

I took a bath and while I was taking a nice and warm bath, I thought about the moments that went by. The good ones. The ones that made my heart melt like warm butter. The ones where he made me smile. The times when I loved him.

I put on a simple pajama and checked all my doors. I turned off the lights and quickly went to bed. I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. His face always came popping out of nowhere in my thoughts. I felt wretched and stared at the ceiling.

I felt hopeless and that’s when I decided to turn on my bedroom lights. I walked to my precious possessions I kept in my drawer. I looked for the letter Zack gave me on graduation day. I never opened it because I’ve never really felt that I needed it, but I do now. I opened it and I read it carefully observing it. It had a very nice Emma written on the envelope. I opened the envelope and took out the paper it held inside.

Dear Emma,

I know if you’re reading it that means you’re feeling that something’s wrong or you’re feeling sad and hopeless.

I just wanted you to know that I love you. I don’t care if you’re reading it when you’re 31 or 100 years old. Just know that I will always love you. You’re my first one and you mean something to me.

I wanted to tell you that in this kinds of situations just know that you are loved and that some people really care about you. Your brother and sister love you. I love you.

I promise you that the times will get better and that in the end you’ll be happy.If you’re not happy, that means you have a lot more to fight for. You’re more like me than you even know. We both want to find happiness in this world, but it’s confusing and we both know it’s not going to be an easy journey.

Some people in this world might hurt you. Even I might hurt you, but you’re a tough girl. You’ll get through it and if it was I that hurt you, please forgive me.

Remember that success isn’t easy and that you need to fight for it. Even if I’m not with you, you will always be in deepest thoughts and I will always wish you the best of times and happiness.

I love you.. Forever and always..

Love,

Zack

Reading the letter made my eyes filled with tears. Did he really mean those words?

The letter made me remember the reason why I loved him in the first place. I haven’t been able to move on and I probably never will because I love him.

I love Zack Merrick.
