[summary] Archie writes a letter he never thought he'd write.
[disclaimer] I don't own nor have ever met David Cook nor David Archuleta. Everything about them is completely fiction, and any similarity with reality is a mere coincidence.
[warnings] Angst.
[author's notes] I'm not sure if this is going to have a sequel or a prequel or what. I'm just sure that this is the beginning of something, but I'm not sure if this something might want me to finish it. In the meantime, enjoy!
Dear Cook Cook Dear David Dave David,
How are you I wanted you to I never meant to hurt you. Never. I just needed the time to think, to do what I'm supposed to do. I know it's hard to understand for you, who never understood the depths of my beliefs, but I need you to. I need you to support me in this adventure, even if you don't understand; I need to feel I'm doing the right thing this time - what's right for you, for me, and for us. I'm tired of this game, of this silly motion of events in which each of us takes turns to be the chaser and the prey.
It's over, Cook. It's been over for longer than we've wanted to acknowledge, but I'm finally able to say this. I'm free, and I want you to feel free to get on with your career - with your life.
I love you, and I will always do It's the best for both of us. I will miss you with every inch of my soul I'm sorry.
Archie
