Annie Halden was the exact definition of a wallflower. She lived on the sidelines, didn't like attention and worried too much. She wrote letters to herself as her way to get her thoughts out. She never told anyone or let anyone see. Leo Smith, one of the school star athletes and most popular boys, found one of her letters. He started breaking into her locker to read the letters every time there was a new one. He grew concerned about her and wanted to protect her, he wanted to know why she was so broken and who hurt her, he wanted her to know he was there for her - be her shoulder to lean on. How would this friendship work out with Annie being as shy and quiet as she is, never getting close to anyone? How would this friendship last if Annie came to find out the truth about Leo stealing and reading her personal letters?

the butterflies have broken wings
Dear Annie,It's probably weird writing a letter to myself, right? But who else am I supposed to talk to?Anyways,Last night Jack and dad got into a fight... again. Are we surprised? No.They've had the same issues for years now. I know dad went through a lot but we all did—which he doesn't seem to always understand.As for me—I've been having a lot of bad days lately.The nightmares are back which Jack doesn't know and I can't tell him otherwise he'll start to worry again. I know he's just worried about me. He cares, but I don't want to burden him. I've already done enough.It just feels like—like the forest is dark again, the trees have dead leaves and the butterflies have broken wings.I'm okay though.- AnnieLeo read the last two lines over and over again.He wondered and wondered what it was that hurt Annie and why she was so broken.He felt terrible, almost disgusted at himself as he held the thin piece of paper in his hands. Guilt poisoned his veins as he read her written tho

she's not like all the girls you talk to
"Hey, you're Jay, right?"Jay looked over, closing his locker and turning to face Leo who had never talked to him.He narrowed his eyes, knowing about Leo but having never spoken to him before. "I am, why?" He didn't even know how Leo knew who he was.Leo glanced around, feeling a little out of place since Jay wasn't the type of kid he talked to. He was a nice kid but he was... a little random, not someone who spoke to many people. They were on two opposite ends of the social ladder.Leo was worried his friends would come over and start bashing.Leo nodded, "You're friends with Annie?"Jay nodded, feeling skeptical. Annie had mentioned Leo coming over to her the other day which only made this interaction more worrisome for Jay because he didn't want Leo to have any bad intention with Annie and his sudden interest in her."I am, why?" He repeated.Leo licked his lips, still glancing around. "What's she like?" Leo wanted to ask if she was okay because judging from the two letters he rea

pretend to wear a smile
Dear Annie,Uncle Kalvin came over.It was... difficult and painful to sit through that dinner.Dad doesn't know what happened for his own good because we don't want him to have a heart attack but Jack on the other hand has been on my tail because he doesn't think I'm doing okay.Jack used every cell in him to refrain himself from jumping over the table and strangling uncle Kalvin.I don't know how I feel.It feels like it's hard to breath. It's like I'm suffocating or drowning and everything around me is caving.I'm okay though.- AnnieLeo read the letter he once again swapped with the old one from her locker. He had been doing this for a week now and still hadn't figured out how to talk to Annie though he wanted to.He couldn't stop himself from reading the letters that were meant for nobody but Annie. He was filled with concern and curiosity.He learnt that she had many secrets that were never clear enough in any of the letters for him to figure out what it was she was hiding.He

two different worlds
Dear Annie,I'm honestly a little confused as to why Leo has been talking to me. Maybe it was just because I was there so it would be rude to ignore me.Then again, he didn't have to come sit on the bleachers with me.I'm confused.It's odd because we're from two different worlds.Maybe it's not as big as I'm making it out to be.I don't know.- AnnieLeo sighed as he read the letter. He just wanted her to feel comfortable around him so he could be her shoulder to lean onto but every time he spoke to her, he was starting to realize that she would only get more conflicted.Annie wasn't someone who had a lot of friends. She kept to herself and tried to hide away in the shadows so now that one of the school's popular boys was starting to notice her, she didn't know how to feel.Annie pulled out a piece of paper as she was about to jot down some thoughts - write another letter. Before the pen even hit the paper, the chair beside her was pulled out and someone sat down beside her, joining

the things you ran from
Dear Annie,I've been having some goods day.The nightmares have lessened but I know it's only about time that they hit me hard.Do you ever sit in silence and find that all the things you ran from never really left?I'm... okay, I think.- AnnieLeo ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. What the hell is she running from?He had so many theories, so many questions he wish he could simply ask Annie but he knew that couldn't happen.As guilty as he felt reading her personal thoughts, he was too far in to stop now. He felt like a fish caught on a hook he couldn't escape from."What's going on with you?" His best friend, Justin appeared by his locker, causing Leo to shove the letter away before he could notice it.Leo gave him an odd look, "What do you mean?"Justin gave Leo a bland look, "Come on man, you've been so... weirdly quiet and distant the past little while.Leo shut his locker and started walking down the hall, "It's nothing. I just haven't been sleeping well. Must be the ni

you just might be my lucky charm
"I can't believe you came!" Amari squealed as she looped an arm around Annie's shoulders as the two of them, along with Jay, walked up the crowded bleachers to find some seats."It's not that big a deal," Annie mumbled, staring at her shoes as she walked up the steps. She knew this was very unlike for her. She never came to any after school events - even when Jack wanted her to stay for games.She didn't know how she managed to come tonight. Something about Leo asking her made her feel a sense of importance, a feeling she hadn't felt in awhile. After how kind he had been to her, she felt bad not showing up."It is!" Amari laughed as the three of them took a seat on the bleachers. It was packed, the whole school here to watch the game. "What convinced you to come?"Annie glanced out at the field to see if she could spot Leo. She shrugged softly, "Thought it'd be fun. A change."Jay quirked an eyebrow as he nudged Annie, "I like this side of you. Annie breaking out of her shell."In res

being on the sidelines is better
Annie slowly sipped on her smoothie as she tried not to shift around in the booth, feeling very uncomfortable, anxious, and unsure right now."So," Leo quirked an eyebrow, giving her a soft smile. "How was your first football game experience?"Annie let out a small, shaky chuckle. "It was... good. Better than I thought it would be.""Good, I'm glad." Leo sipped on his smoothie the same way Annie did, raising his eyebrows as he looked at her while sipping.And let out a small chuckle before she went more serious. "Can I ask you something?" Her voice was quiet.Leo perked up, surprised to hear those words coming from her. "Of course, anything."Annie paused for a moment, "Why did you... want me to come? To the game and now here?" She avoided his gaze for a moment before looking at him, her eyes soft.Leo sighed, smiling slightly. He was starting to adore how sweet and gentle she was. "Well, I wanted you to have a good time and maybe get to know you better."Annie smiled a little smile b

hold the power to hurt me
"Fuck," Leo grumbled under his breath as he hesitated to open the folded piece of paper he held in his hands.He went back to Annie's locker, breaking into it to return the last note he had taken before the football game. He decided he wasn't going to take and read anymore.Now that him and Annie had become somewhat friends and since she was starting to warm up to him, he felt even more guilty about the notes and knew he should stop. She would tell him things when she was ready to.But then, when he was returning the last note he took, he couldn't help himself as he saw the new one so he took it, not knowing what to do.He knew it was wrong and it was betraying her trust, nor was it fair to her but he just couldn't help it. He wasn't patient and he wanted to easily just know what she was feeling and thinking. He knew he still had a long way to go to get her to trust him and tell him things but Leo just wanted to make sure she was okay right now and the only way he could do that was by

i ignored my instincts
Dear Annie,I was right.I was so, so right but it's my own faultbecause like an idiot,I ignored my instinctsand let myself become fond of him.And because I went against my better judgement of staying away and keeping distanceand not warming up to people,like I expected,another person got to know me just a little betterand then left.Realized I was a freak, a loser, a nerd like everyone thinks I am.Should I be surprised? No. Not at all.Anyways,it's okay because like usual,I'll just stick to myself.- AnnieLeo felt a pang of guilt as he read the letter, very well knowing that it was about him. He hadn't spoken to Annie in almost two weeks, ever since they went to get smoothies.All he wanted was to protect her from getting hurt and now he was the one who was hurting her.He knew they weren't close so maybe it shouldn't be a big deal but he also knew that Annie didn't get close with anyone or bother at all with anyone expect her two best friends. So the fact that she was st
