Hey Emma,

I dont know what made you so unhappy yesterday, but I'm sorry that you felt that way. You didnt have to apologise( i understand its simple courtesy) because having bad days is pretty normal. I dont even talk to anyone at all if I'm having a bad day. And if i had known what was going on with you, I would've tried harder to make you laugh. 

Btw, you not laughing is another thing you shouldnt apologise for. My attempt was lame anyways.

You asked me my question back, thats unfair. I guess what i did could be considered as weird. But not anymore, at least to me. 

Dark humor is still humor. I dont know if i prefer it to other forms of humor though. And yeah, youre right. I dont read much non fiction, much less poetry. I do read books, so i guess i could say yourr partially right. Academic books, biographies, self help books, things like that. I occasionally read mystery books, but not so much. 

You already have a guard dog, and you still want a tiger. Do you not want to have a social life?  I don't think you need anyone to tell you that you'd be pushing people away with your beasts.

Not me though. I'd risk getting killed if it means getting to talk to you. 

I cannot believe that you actually find English interesting. What on Earth is in English that captures your attention so much? That would be the only class I would fall asleep in, but for the life of me, I can't seem to fall aslee in school. 

I know, it's not normal. And believe me, I've tried to. I'm pretty sure that when we're done with the holidays, I'll drug myself so as to fall asleep in class. It's a scary plan, and I hope to actually go through with it. 

And I'll leave you to guess what my favorite subject is. I want to see for myself just how terrible you are at trying your luck. And you have five chances. Like the ones your friends gave you. 

You talked about volleyball, and I for one am impressed. You're one of the very few girls that arent afraid to get dirty. On a scale of 1-10, just how good are you? Also, football won't break your legs. Honest. I won't want anything bad happening to those legs of yours. Anything at all.

I'm not smart. I just have a tendency to pass with ease. I know that for a fact. For some reason, any one I tell this refuses to believe me. 

It's okay if you don't know what you want to do with your life yet.You just haven't seen what you want yet, and thats way better than doing something you don't have any passion for. It'll come, don't worry. Besides, every good thing takes time.

I know I can ignore this if I wanted to, and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it ,but I won't. Yes, football has sentimental value. My dad used to play football with me when I was little. He passed away when I was nine years old. And the worst part about all this is that I can hardly remember anything about him, other than the fact that he was a football lover. I could ask my mum to fill me in about everything I want to know, but I can't tell what's holding me back. 

Whenever I play football, I hope to miraculously remember something about him. I don't care what it is, anything is better than nothing, y'know?

It's stupid, I know. But I don't really see myself quitting that any time soon. 

One of the reasons I answered that question in particular was in hopes of you starting to actually confide in me. I mean, you already know I'm not a stalker or an old weirdo. That should at least put you at ease a little bit, yes?

Now I have my own questions. I'd been meaning to ask them since after you sent your first email, but I felt that was being way too forward. And it's clear that you're not exactly the kind that likes forwardness. You have to be comfortable to a certain degree before spilling anything to anyone.

The most pressing one is your sudden love for poetry. I mean, isn't it odd that someone who used to detest poetry doesn't only like it now, but actually writes it? And constantly too?

Another off thing I noticed in your letters was your statement about scaring most girls away. But then again, you said something about you and your friends playing cards when you were 14. I don't like being presumptuous, but I think that whatever happened to you that made you join One Voice in the first place must've happened when you were 14. Fresh out of middle school. 

I think what happened to you must've made you build up a lot of walls around yourself. You don't want to let anyone in, so you pretend you're a dead man walking. Something else that would probably back up that fact are your statements about not laughing a lot nowadays, when in fact, your sense of humor is top notch. 

I'm sorry if I'm coming on too strong, but like I said, I really want to get to know who you are and why you're this way. I want you to be able to talk to me. Because I'm completely sure you don't confide in anyone these days, and that isn't healthy at all. 

I'm not pressuring you to answer those questions. I just wanted you to bear in mind that I'm here if you want to talk about anything at all. I'm only an email away. 

Nate.

    Hey Emma,It's being five days and three hours since I sent you the last email. I don't whether or not I should be worried, but I am. And I'm also feeling really bad, because it's clear that I'm responsible for what's going on with you right now.I'm sorry for upsetting you in....any way I did. And I'll try not to do it again. I'm one of those people that don't rest easy when someone is mad at them or sad because of them. These past five days have really taken a toll on me( or so says my mirror), and I don't want to find out what will happen if I keep waiting for you to reply, hoping that you'd just decide to write me 'hey' and nothing else.Also, if you decide to still talk to me after reading this letter, then we won't go to the deep parts of our lives. There's a lot of other things to talk about, like how the weather is and how you picture your life forty years from now.I'll jus

    Hey.I almost ended this here, because you did say to say just 'hey' in my next letter so you'd feel better. But I need to clarify some things first, because I don't like the fact that you're feeling guilty for hitting the nail on the wall. Because that's the only thing you did, and that's not exactly offensive. In fact, it's not offensive at all.I'd say you should go with psychology. It seems like a talent, just like writing is for me. Don't let it go to waste, Nate.Lemme start off by apologising. I sent you an email late, way late( though we don't exactly have a schedule for this, do we?)You felt bad, and that's probably the only reason I'm apologising right now. I'm sorry for not sending you an email sooner. I wanted to, but I couldn't find the right words. I stared at my computer (I don't know the actual number of times) about seven times before deciding, what the heck!!I don

    Hello, and salutations, to everyone that's reading this book.I realise it's been a ridiculously long time since I updated, but that was to see if anyone was actually reading the book.I also had some problems with my goodnovel account.But I'll be updating regularly. Every Friday, hopefully. If you like the book even a little, just leave a comment.It would mean a lot to me.I also started a YouTube channel, where I post poems I write. If you're into that stuff, be sure to check my channel out."Introverted poet."That would also mean a lot. And it would be way better if you subscribed and left a comment. It really helps writers, along with the whole sense of accomplishment that comes with viewing a nice comment on your work.Expect an update soon!Stay awesome.

    Hey, again,You might be shocked to see two entire emails from me. I too am shocked at myself. I can't believe I'm sending you two emails. I mean, it's not like you sent me two emails and I have to do the exact same thing. Then again, you're making me do things I never thought I'd do.It's both cool and scary. Big kudos to you, Nate.I can't really remember what I sent you in the last email, but I remember this comment you made though. You said that, you'd be fine just talking about random nonsense like the weather. I'd rather you take a shotgun and end my life, seriously. If you really like talking to me, and would want to keep talking to me, then please, no small talk about the weather and things that don't really matter.Doing that is almost as effective as murdering me with an actual weapon. I'd die of boredom.Okay, since that is covered( I mean it, dude), I'm going to just write random rubbish, like you did in your letter( it's n

    Hey everyone.I know it's been a long time since I last updated. And I'm sorry for that. School, along with other personal stuff, came up, and I just couldn't.Also, I was shocked to see I'd reached 200+ views, from 74. Thank you guys so much, both those that have stayed throughout, and those that recently started reading my book.I'll just go straight to the point. This Author's Note is just to inform y'all about a few things.- I started a YouTube channel, it's called the "Introverted poet." Do try to check it out. And what is interesting about this is that, most of what I post there is based on this story. I basically converted "From Me To You," into a short love story on YouTube. Please subscribe, comment and like. Especially the comment part. I just want to engage with my readers, and hear what's on their mind.- I also recently created a tiktok channel where

    Hey Emma,Note that this email might be longer than usual, because I'll be replying your last two emails in this one. I'll try to make it short though.I'm going to address the last paragraph of your last email before anything else. Nothing you say will ever be boring to me. Strange, yes. Ridiculous, definitely. But boring, not at all. I hope you understand that.Now that that's over with....you said I should pursue psychology. Well, I don't know what to say to that, but I'll put your advice into consideration. Plus, I know it's something I'll enjoy doing.I'm sorry about your mum. She sounds like an amazing person. Correction...I know she was an amazing person. Look how you turned out. And I completely understand what you mean when you said writing poetry helps you heal. Sports is my mode of healing.I won't say anything about the whole tiger naming, simply for my sanity and peace of mind.I've had lots of crushes before,

    Dear Nate,Your email wasn't long at all, honest. Kudos to you on shortening it as much as you could, though I wouldn't have minded a longer one.I'm glad you're taking my advice into consideration ( the whole thing about you pursuing psychology). But make sure it ends up being your choice, and your choice alone, and not a decision you came to because of some external influence, aka, me.Also, I want to thank you for what you said about my mum. She was an amazing person truly.A vampire? Really, Nate? I know you suck at cracking jokes, but that was just really bad. And the fact that it was a horrible joke made it funny.But guess what? I did dress up as a vampire on Halloween once, when I was nine years old. I remember my mum being shocked when I refused to dress up as a princess. She almost ignored me, but I have my ways. Also, I met Matt that Halloween, but more about that later.I don't necessarily hate dress

    Hey Emma,I know you must be wondering who the heck this is. Well, I got your email from the One Voice Support group, and I just had to talk to you. Our situations are so much alike, and honestly, reading your comment made me think that some random person had read my mind.I also know that you live in Colorado ( I don't, sadly).And I'm only a year older than you. I also checked out your Facebook(which proved pointless) and Instagram (okay, I'm officially a stalker now. Btw do you even use Twitter?), and I don't understand how someone that looks like you do would be emotionally bullied. I mean, I almost thought that you joined the support group out of boredom, because it's hard to believe that you'd be bullied in any way. I have this belief that good looking people are hardly ever bullied.(In case you didn't catch on, I just called you beautiful)God, I'm pretty sure that after you read this, you'll have

    Hey Nate,Did you do a weird thing? Let's see. You read comments on an online support group, saw one that caught your interest, couldn't suppress the urge to talk to the girl that wrote said comment, sent her the oddest email she's ever read, and then decided to forget that he ever sent the email in the first place.Is that weird? I'll leave you to answer that for yourself.And yes, I do have a sense of humor. Usually the dark kind, but it's still humor nonetheless, isn't it? But nowadays, very few things make me laugh. So,I don't know what to make of it. Does that still count as having a good sense of humor?Should I be worried that you refuse to tell me how you got to know my handle? Or is this you being mysterious? Either way, it's fine. I won't bother you about it again.I write everything, though I've never once completed a book. For the life of me, I can't. I'm
