Episode Five
...Today, when you sat beside me without any greetings,
I tried to concentrate even with how difficult it was. Seeing
you beside me and unable to say anything. You know, it wouldn't have been worse
if we weren't seatmates but unfortunately, we are.
I understand everything Donna and I know that you are very
right to get angry with me, but what about our friendship? It shouldn't just go
down the drain like that. We should
learn to forgive and let the past be past.
I visited your Aunt's place after school to see if I was
wrong about everything. Maybe I'm just wasting my time writing this letter and
maybe if I could explain everything to you, you would forgive me whole
heartedly. But I was wrong. I met your Aunt in the living room. She looked very
sober and I've never seen her that way before.
"I'm really sorry Justin but Donna doesn't want to see
you". She said as I sighed in disappointment.
"Okay". I said as I started to leave.
"Wait Justin," Her Aunt cried, "Donna is not
fine. She's worse than when she lost her Parents. She bawls all night ".
"I'm really sorry Aunt". I said as she hugged me.
I knew that I had broken your heart. I'm very sorry Donna.
I'm sorry for making you unhappy and heartbroken. I want everything to come
back to the way it was and I beg you. I beg you to forgive me for what I've
done because I promise to never break your heart. As you read this letter, I
sincerely hope you forgive me and make us best friends again.
Yours Sincerely,
Justin.

It was a week since Justin kept the letter in her bag and
there was still no reply from her. He gave up on her. He gave up on everything.
He accepted the fact that they would never be friends again.
He paced around the room and tried to forget about the
wonderful girl who was once his best friend but he couldn't. Tears streamed
down his face as he searched through his box for their friendship album. It was
an album of the pictures they took together.
Maybe if I erase all
pictures of her, I'll forget about her. He thought as he went through the
pictures and memories of the past flashed through him. He was about to tear the
pictures when he heard a knock on the door.
"Mom, not now". He screamed at the door.
To his utmost surprise, Donna entered the room with a white
envelope in her hand. She was holding the letter he had written to her.
"Can I sit?" she asked nervously.
"Of course". he said as she sat beside him on the bed.
She cleared her throat. "Your letter is marvelous. I'll
keep it in a safe place so that I can read it all over again". She smiled
at him.
He felt a twinkling sensation in his stomach. It was long he
saw that cute smile.
"Thanks". Justin commented.
"You're always welcomed". She replied.
There was an awkward silence between them as they both
stared around the room nervously.
Donna looked into his eyes and he kept his gaze at her.
"I've missed you so much best friend".
"I've missed you too". Justin said as he pulled
her into a big hug.
Justin let the tears flow freely down his face. No one need
to tell him that Donna was also crying. Her tears wet the shoulder of his
shirt. The hug said it all. It meant that she had forgiven him, that they were
going to be best friends again and that they would never try to hurt themselves
anymore. It said that they were truly inseparable and their friendship was one
that would last forever.
Justin and Donna became best friends again but he had a lot
to learn from their crisis. He learnt to always trust his friend and to put
himself as if he was in their condition. He also learnt to protect and stand by
those who mean a lot to him. He learnt to never betray a dear friend and to
learn ways to settle whatever dispute two friends could be having.
Justin and Donna were inseparable like before but they could
never forget the impact of the letter because it said all about their
friendship and how true and genuine it was.
