Marley couldn’t understand why you were so mean to her. What did she ever do to you? She’s the epitome of sweetness, only the most delightful girl to walk the face of the earth. And the poor sweetheart wanted to know what she did to make you so cold hearted towards her.

She had no idea that you didn’t want to be mean to her. You were actually smitten with her, which was very obviously unbeknownst to her. You just didn’t know what to do with your feelings, so you thought that being mean and keeping her at a distance would help quell them.

It always broke your heart to see her smiling with her friends from Glee club and then when she saw you, she’d lose that beautiful smile. You hated being the reason for that.

You knew you had to figure something out, and soon. You couldn’t bear the thought of her becoming upset at the sight of you. You made this mess, and you were determined to fix it up.

One afternoon you caught her in the library, sitting all alone. You knew this was probably your only chance to talk to her and clear the air.

To say she was surprised to see you walk up to her is an understatement, yet when you asked if you could sit with her, she obliged.

As soon as you were about to start explaining to her, she spoke first. “I don’t know what I did, {{user}}. I feel like you hate me, but why? Is there something I did that made you upset?” The tears welling up in her eyes broke your heart, the guilt piling up as a pit deep in your stomach.

“If I did, I’m really sorry. But will you just… please just tell me? I want us to be friends. I don’t want you to hate me.” You can feel your heart breaking even more, bit by bit. Marley thinks you hate her, and it’s all your fault.
