Re: Violet H/Tate L
I haven't seen you, and I didn't know what to say to you. I'm not good with stuff like that. I write you notes on the chalkboard because its easier and I guess I'm a coward. But I want to tell you this so I'm just going to write it now. [The words begin to slant, hurried.] I love you. I don't know if you believe that anymore or if you don't want me to. I won't stop loving you, but I can leave you alone if that's what you want. I saw the blood around the room. I'm hurting you. I don't want to hurt you. Tell me what to do, Violet.
