A new life (the sequal)

Chapter 6

"Wait, I said to take risks...I said to know what your heart wants. This letter barely has anything written on it, Jane. Look, I'm glad you wrote it all alright. But you came to me and asked if you should write to him. Putting a couple of words on the paper is not a letter. I am not saying that it has to be heartfelt or meaningful, you don't even have to say 'love you' at the end. Rewrite it and I'll help you."...said the Doctor

"Ok"

"Look Jane your writing is subpar at best. You would rather write two little words than write a full sentence. I will tell you what to write."...said the Doctor

"Dear, Perry

Writing this letter is very hard for me. I know it must be hard not being in my life. I would think under different circumstances I would have given you a chance maybe even multiple. But I want you to know that I want you to work to get that chance. Other people aren't so lucky there not even getting a chance.

Writing this letter probably requires feelings to be put in, but what I feel towards you right now is not feelings. It's more trapped, broken, and depressed. I can't say what I want to say to you...without you snapping. Look I was happy that you married my best friend. Hell, I was also happy not knowing what went down between you two. 

But yall can't seem to keep my name out of it. I got called while I was in Boston. Was that your plan? To beat your wife so much that she calls me and tells me that she needs me to come home. I admit I was fooled. That out of all people you came up with this elaborate plan to lure me home. 

Except beating women is true. You have a habit of not letting the woman go...after they said no. I only granted you another chance because of our son. Because our son needs a father.

Now I can't tell him how he was created because that would mortalize my kid. How much anger was running through your head at the time? 

Look, you're not ready to move on and I am ready to start a new life. A life without you in it. 

I want you in my life, I do. But it is going to be hard after what you did.

Umm, this letter is coming to an end. But if you try to change, then I will try to give you another chance. But you have to learn to take NO as an answer.

Sincerely, Jane"

"I'm impressed Jane, I didn't think you had it in you. You wrote this letter with no harboring feelings. You've said enough to where I think you overcame one of your greatest fears. It's all about risks. Some risks are bad and some are good. How do you feel?"...asked the Doctor

"Ever since that letter some like 12% of this heavyweight has been taken off my shoulders."...said Jane

"12%? I just helped you conquer one of the biggest challenges you'll face. Talking to the man you formerly known as Perry is a step. He wanted you to write him a letter by hand. And you wanted to talk to someone about it. And that someone was me, by telling me it showed that you were ready. Sweetheart, that is more than 12% alright."...said the Doctor

"Ok, I had a hiccup. I didn't think that I would be the one taking advice from Perry. I normally never write letters to people ever. I leave notes so that people know where I am going and what time I'll be back. But never letters. Writing letters is like a foreign concept to me. When you write letters I feel like I'm back in the 90s and you have to put all these feelings that you have bottled up inside you on paper. This was my first letter that I have written. I wanted to put two little words on the paper."...said Jane

"It's not a hiccup, Jane. You had something horrible happen to you...to you writing this letter I wouldn't say this is a hiccup. It's phenomenal."...said the Doctor
