DECLAN

Me: We made it safe. Already mad about the tiny room.

Me: Missing you already! Will you come visit me soon?

Me: Declan... You okay?

Me: Are you mad at me??

Me: It's been a month Dec. Seriously, what's wrong?

Declan : Leave me alone, Erica. Move on.

Declan was the first to befriend me. How could he also be the first to break me? Life had a funny way of tearing me down. My hope of him responding held me in a chokehold for too many long weeks. Until he got sick of me and shattered the only support and source of love I had.

One hour wasn’t supposed to separate us. They had cars and their licenses, plus...they promised. So...why?

I don't think I'll ever know why he ghosted me, but one thing's for certain: Declan Ledger, my best friend and crush, abandoned me.
