This is the fourth and penultimate part to the saga. I wrote this before I get the real life Belle’s response, so it’s what caused me to get down to three hours of sleep a night and realize just how much she meant to me.

She’s completely ignored me for the last four weeks. She won’t return any of my calls or texts, walking past me as if I’ve never existed at school. Every time she criticises me in front of her friends, I die a little inside. Each new day, the rot goes deeper, further into my soul.
