(TM Prompt 188) Two letters (even if it ended up being three)
Write two letters: One to someone you hurt and the other to someone who hurt you.
Dearest Sandra,
I'm so sorry for all the lies and all the pain, and all the things I've done to you. It's no excuse, but I did it to protect you, to protect Claire, to protect Lyle...
If I could go back and do it over, I'd do things so differently. I made so many mistakes along the way, so many times I thought I was doing the right thing. Looking back on it now, the right thing would have been being honest with you from the start -- then we would have been in this together and I wouldn't have hurt you so badly.
I hope you can forgive me. I love you and I never meant for things to go like this. I wanted to protect you from them, and I've ended up endangering you even more.
I love you. I'm sorry.
--Noah
Dear Claude,
I wish to god I'd listened to you all those years ago. I don't know where you are, now. I hope you're safe. I hope we can talk some time soon. I really need to talk to you.
I know you'll never forgive me -- and I really don't deserve it. I followed the party line and I shot you. I put my loyalty to them above my friendship with you, and it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
I'm sorry. I should have paid more attention to what you were saying.
Wherever you are, please. I'm more than ready to listen now.
--Bennet
Thompson, you fucking bastard.
I'm not sorry at all I shot you. I'm not sorry at all for the end of our friendship. I don't even know if we ever really were friends. I thought we were, but something tells me there's a lot I don't really remember that would prove to me that I was never anything more than entertainment for you.
Too many timelines that don't match up, too many aches and pains that don't line up with my memory of a hunt. Too many times I woke up far more hungover than I should have after you insisted on going along on a hunt.
I should have listened to Claude. I should have believed him when he told me you were a bastard. I shouldn't have been so fucking bigoted that I thought you only tortured Specials.
I learned what true loyalty is by watching you and learning what not to do. You went after my family, you went after my Claire, and you went after my friends. My only regret in all of this is that to save Matt I had to kill you far quicker than you deserved.
Needless to say, I'll make up for that when I run into you again in hell.
