#Chapter 82: Left on Read

Shana, I know you've been avoiding all of my texts, but I hope that you'll actually take the time to read this letter. I feel terrible about what I said to my father when he asked me to choose a distraction. First of all, I want you to know that I don't think you're a distraction, and that should've been the first thing I made clear to him. I shouldn't have let him speak about you that way. Second, if these past few days of your silence have shown me anything, it's that I don't know how to go around acting like everything is fine — because everything is not fine. I keep checking my phone, hoping that you've texted or called me. I keep looking for you in the hallways, only to be met with disappointment. I just want to make things right between us again because I can't take this anymore. I hate not seeing you or hearing your voice. I don't think I know who I am without you around. The Dragons have a hockey game tomorrow night at Crystal Falls against the Warriors.
