FOREVER MINE

Dear Elijah

I'm leaving.

For good. My family doesn't know where I am. They haven't for about two months now. After I found out about what happened ten years ago I wanted the whole truth. The truth about you. The truth about that night. And the truth about my mother.

And guess what?
My mother is actually alive.
And they're trying to get her back.

Turns out Nikolai kidnapped her ten years ago. My father didn't tell any of us that during the time they rushed me to the hospital - someone had already kidnapped her.

He lied to me and my brothers.
We mourned her death, while he knew their might of been a slight chance she was still alive. But he didn't do anything. They buried an empty casket and put flowers on her empty grave for ten years.

Imagine my shock when my Mason confessed about seeing my mother the same night you guys rescued me from Nikolai's house.

He says that he wasn't sure at first but then he told my father and he told him the truth. While I was staying with you, they were busy planing on getting her back. That's why they were so secretive and willing to let me stay with you for much longer than expected.

I'm just so . . . tired. Tired of all the lies and secrets. And after finding out that we were best friends as kids hurt me the most.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't blame you for all of the hurt I'm feeling. My family plays a big role in this. And I'm sure they're searching high and low for me right now.

After waking up in the hospital with all my memories back, was draining. It was a lot to take in and a lot to process.

I was angry, shocked,disappointed and heartbroken.

And that’s just for starters.

The whole thing leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. I feel disrespected, humiliated… I might even go so far as to say I feel violated.

And it is a violation of my trust. 

I trusted you and you broke it so easily.

What was once whole is shattered; where once was peace is emptiness, echoes of a love I put my everything into. I only wanted your loyalty, kindness, love and honesty. But all you bring now is anger, suspicion and an averted gaze. 

As I'm writing this letter, I can't help but cry. I'm crying beacuse we've made so many promises to each other when we were younger. And some people might think it's stupid but each and every promise we made meant so much to me. Because you know as much as anyone else that broken promises are like little hearts; they aren't meant to be broken.

And it's sad that we've come to this point. You were once my best friend,
And now you're just a stranger to me.

So I'm going to end this letter by saying;

I'm leaving.
Two months ago,I met someone.
She found me when I was at my lowest and kind of saved me from almost getting hurt again.
I'm not going to tell you anything more.I know you'll try to find me.

But please don't look for me. I need time away from everyone.
I promise I'll be safe.

My final words to you are;

Goodbye gummy bear.

Forever yours

-Angela
