Dear Ms.

White,

I would like to sincerely apologize for going behind your back and entering your household

without permission to hang out with Michaela. What I did was disrespectful, immature, selfish,

and wrong by all means. Actions speak louder than words, and my actions that day did not

express the person I believe I am or my feelings toward your daughter. I should have understood

at the moment how such bad decisions could affect other people than myself. I broke the trust

that you graciously gave me when allowing me to talk to your daughter. I'm very ashamed of

myself. I impulsively chose to do this without thinking about how disrespectful it is to enter

someone's house behind their back. I'd also like to apologize for leaving those markings on

Michaela. I honestly care for Michaela and I know what I have done was unacceptable, I

genuinely want to be her friend. I don't think it would be an overstatement to say that was the

worst judgment of my life up to this point. Your decision that I shouldn't associate with her

anymore was heart-wrenching, and I wish I could go back in time to stop myself, but I know

that's not how life works, and I have to own up to what I did. In this time, while grounded,

though emotionally depressing, I have had to face the fact that I lost my best friend, and it is my

fault. No amount of apologies will be able to take back what I did. It's also difficult for me to

articulate and nuance my woes through writing. I wish I could have a conversation over the

phone to give a more meaningful apology if you would allow me. However, I understand you

most likely don't want to talk to me right now or ever. Once again I am sorry.

-Nathan
