One day a little boy about 7 named Dylan was outside playing with his dad when he saw his new neighbors moving in, Dylan had known of getting new neighbors for awhile now but he didn’t know he would find his true love. Emily was from the country and home schooled she was 8, she hadn’t known about other little kids because she was an only child and the only children out on her farm were the piglets and calf’s. Emily and Dylan met when Dylan and his dad were playing baseball outside on a hot summer’s day, Emily saw them and curious she went over to meet them. Dylan saw her and it wasn’t like any of the other girls he usually saw, because usually he would usually be grossed out, but not with Emily this was a whole different thing he thought. "Hello, I’m Emily what’s your name?" Emily asked Dylan ddd-llyan, nice to meeeet you"Dylan stuttered while smiling at emily. This is my dad steve jake continued and this is our house he finished emily looked at steve and then again to dylan. I love over there and nice to meet you dad steve emily said. And from that day Dylan and Emily hung out every day for the rest of summer and on weekends during school until about 7th grade. Emily and Dylan hadn’t been talking for over a month and emily thought it was about time she confronted him.
Dylan you big baboon come out here this instant Emily yelled at jakes window as loud as she could
No way, unless you apologize then I might consider it Dylan smirked
Apologize for what you’re the one who did it she yelled again
What did I do Em's? And I’m still not hearing an apology
Oh don’t play innocent on me, you tried kissing me!
Jake laughed and that’s a bad thing, you know you love me
Love you? Ha I laugh I hate you Dylan and I never want to talk to you again!
Well you kind of already are Em's and please don’t start crying i hate it when you do that
Well then come out here and I wouldn’t have to cry
Fine ill ask dad , Dylan went outside and walked to where Emily was
"Hello, Jacobson residence"
"Hey Em's how are you"
"Um okay what do you want?"
"I want to talk to you today so wait outside of the school door when you get there" then he hung up. Emily filled with joy with the thought that Dylan wanted to talk to her so as soon as she got to school she waited and waited until the bell had rung then she still waited for 5 minutes and then decided she should probably go to class but while she was getting a tardy slip all she could think about is why Dylan stood her up, why he said to wait there but he never showed up. Emily was in her last class of the day with 5 seconds left, she couldn’t wait to get home so she could cry some more. When the bell rang she walked out to the door and then outside. As Emily got home she sensed something had been wrong there was a weird feeling in the air, she looked over at Dylan’s house and saw his dad crying as he got out of his car, so she ran over to him, he looked down at her with so much sadness Emily had known what happened. “What happened?” she asked him “Dylan was in a rush to school on his bike…..he got hit by a drunk driver driving a truck.” He said and then went inside of his house. Emily couldn’t move she was numb, she didn’t want to think about this she wanted it to be a dream, no it couldn’t be true the only boy she had ever loved, dated, cared about was gone.
A week had gone by and she still couldnt believe that he was gone. The doorbell rang so she went and opened the dorr standing there was dylan's dad "hello emily" he said sadly
"hi"
"i was looking through jakes stuff and i found this not in his jeans the day of the...accident but it said to emily so i figured i shouldnt read it, but here you go.."
" thank you" she said after he walked away
she opened the note and started crying.
Dear Emily,
i do love you and im am so sorry i feel terrible about the way i treated you i guess i was just shocked that i was worthy of being loved, your the best thing thats happened to me and thank you for being my friend, girlfriend and now love i hope you can forgive me
-Dylan
