A Letter to Kyle
Eleri writes a letter, for Boyd's eyes only.
Boyd,
I'm sorry for dropping in on you as I did. I didn't know what stories or rumours had been circulated about my disappearance...and I didn't mean to drop in so unexpectedly.
Firstly...I feel I should apologise for leaving you so long without a word. The situation I found myself in was difficult for me to comprehend...let alone explain to anyone else. I never wanted to cause you more pain, and leave you on your own as I have done. That was never in my plans, I promise you. But sometimes life...doesn't always go the way you wish it had.
Secondly...please get some help. Living in the way you are has never done anyone any good...and I can't bear to see you going this way. If I were able to stay...I would make sure you never got to this point again...but I can't. So you're going to have to do it without me...but please, please, please make sure that you do. I don't want to lose you because of your demons. They have a hold of you now...but they can be beaten. Please, promise me you'll do this, if nothing else.
You are a wonderful person, with a heart of pure gold. You don't know how much it breaks my heart to leave you as you are, and be unable to stand with you; be the support post to aid you when needed the most.
However, while I'm not with you in body, I am always with you in spirit. I know that life has been unfair to you, and taken many you care for away from you, and the world is cruel like that. But there is always hope. No matter where you look, there is hope - I can promise you that. Even in the darkest corners, where none but the shadows and horrors of the night live, there is still hope, no matter how vestigial.
Keep going, Kyle. There is so much more to life than this. You taught me that. I will always be with you, until the very, very end. After all, we're a team, and that's never changed.
Forever yours,
Eleri
PS: I enclose a contact number you will be able to reach me on should you want or need to call me. Please keep it safe, and out of the wrong hands.
