A little piece of history...
I found this while cleaning my room just moments ago. It's a letter Matt wrote me in Ninth grade. We had Drawing and Design together with Harris, and he gave this to me during that class. I remember feeling so bad.
I didn't edit any of this (save for the italics). This is all straight from the letter.
Stephanie, I'm sorry. I never knew that my actions truly annoyed you. I know that this is disturbing but I was only trying to get you to like me. I probably never should of tried, it might of been better that way. I enjoyed being around you because you liked me for who I was and didn't treat me as an out cast as most do. I also want to apologise for being so jealous when other boys are around you. I just can't help it, it makes me nervous and paranoid. If you are unhappy that also makes me unhappy and I truly don't like to see you that way. You were a very good friend (perhaps one of the best I ever had) although rather abusive. I still love and care for you, but if what I did upsetted you in any way I believe it would be best that I just leave you alone and not interfere with your life any longer. However, being as how this really depresses me as I write this I want you to know that it's not your fault and you shouldn't feel responsible for making me feel this way. I am so sorry for even introducing myself into your life because apparently it brought nothing but depression. I still love you, but I will not bother you any further, and Stephanie, if any of this is wrong please tell me. :'(
It's amazing how things have changed since then.
