PEN AND PAPER (SPEAK FOR ME)

Four friends, composed of two boys and two girls, went out to enjoy the summers’ warmth. They stayed at a place near a lake. They had so much fun, giggles and laughs were heard all over the place. Two of them are a couple, Kristof and Chloe. They’re an intimate sight. They’ve been displaying affection for each other since they arrived at the lake. Both of them have been necking and petting, ignoring the other two. Walden looked at them with evil eyes while Absydee keeps on pigging out.

She found it while cleaning her son’s room. The box contained letters, letters for Chloe. And as they read the letters, Chloe’s heart was filled with guilt.

Suddenly, the picture frame fell causing it to break and expose the letter Walden wrote. Chloe picked the letter away from the broken glass and carefully unfolded it. While her tears continue to flow, she reads:

“I see you’re happy with him. I hope what you have with him lasts forever. I’m ashamed, for being unable to tell you my feelings. I guess I was too afraid with what you might say. But I’m still glad. And for the very last time my pen and paper have spoken for me because I can’t speak before you. I lov…”
