Hey, is there any chance you could respond to one of these emails? I know you are pissed off at me. I never meant for things to end this way. Please, Erica, just respond.

Erica,
Please just answer me. I don’t want to keep calling and texting you and blowing up your phone. I figured email would be a little less bothersome. I just want to talk. Please.

I can’t sleep and you aren’t answering. I spent an hour crying and watching old videos. Look, I f****d up. I know. I had been drinking at work and Tracy came onto me. She was flirting and she grabbed my leg… I doubt you want to hear anything else about what happened. Just know that she came back to my place to drop me off, not to come inside. I was so wasted but I wasn’t trying to get with her. It just… happened. It sounds like b******t but it’s true. You were so mad yesterday morning and left and said those horrible things, I just felt like crap. I can’t help but feel like I am making excuses for what I did. I am not trying to say I am innocent. Just give me a chance, give us a chance to work through this. Just talk to me, Erica. Just five minutes or five seconds. Just… just let me look at you and you can scream at me and slap me and kick me and whatever you need to vent and I will take all of it. But don’t tell me you can throw away the last two years because of one mistake. A big mistake, but still a mistake.
Please, Er. I am begging.

I fell asleep and dreamt you were at your window. You looked down at me and smiled. I couldn’t see your face but I knew it was you. Your hair was down and it looked like you had just gotten out of the shower. I couldn’t see your face but I wanted to think you were smiling at me and that everything was going to be alright. I am hoping that maybe that is true. I will go home and give you some time. I won’t email you for a while.
I love you, Erica.

I can taste it. The blood on my lip.
I bit it and pressed down and tasted my blood.
It was warm and made me think of you.

I just saw you in the window again. So it wasn’t a dream. Just open the door and let me help you with whatever is going on. I can’t see your face from down here so I can’t tell. If you are in trouble or someone is up there with you, signal me somehow. Read this and I will go back to the window to see if you can tell me anything.

Is this to get back at me? Are you messing with me? I said I was sorry and I meant it. This isn’t fair or funny. I care about you too much to let this turn into a mess. I am down here scared to death that something is wrong… I feel like it is my job to save you and you are just f*****g with me.
Message received. You need your space. Fine. I will leave you alone. This is all to fresh for you and you aren’t thinking clearly. I will leave you alone. Call me or text me when you are ready to talk.
Goodnight.

I am on my way to class and figured I would try you again. No answer when I called or texted. Tricia hadn’t heard from you either. I know you think I am an a*****e but I just want to make sure you are okay.
Have a nice morning.

Subject: Key
Tricia,
I don’t know if Erica told you what happened last week. I assume she did since you guys talk about everything. Long story short, I am worried about her. Can I borrow your key to her place so I can check on her? She keeps sending me weird messages. I saw her at her window Friday night so I know she is there. If you don’t feel comfortable giving me her key, can you just go to her place and make sure everything is okay?
Thanks Tricia.
Aidan

The cops are on their way. Whoever this is, you are in deep s**t now. I would recommend that you put Erica’s phone down and get ready to go to jail. My girlfriend is in the hospital with tubes in her goddamn nose after what you did to her. Did you think no one would figure out you were in her home, stealing her s**t? I cannot figure out why the hell you would stay and mess with me rather than get the hell out of there. I don’t know why I am even responding. Just know if I ever see your face I will beat the holy hell out of you.
A*****e.
