I wake up and go out into the kitchen. Mama was on the phone and Winnie was over. She had got back a couple of days ago and it was so good to have the kids off our hands.
"What's wrong?" I ask. Winnie hands me a note. I look at the writing- the font of my name written on half the piece of paper. It was Stefan's hand writing.
"Read it" she says I open it up and see a whole bunch of words. I walk outside and sit on the old boat near the farm.
I look at the note and brace myself for what I was about to read:
Jordan,
You changed me in way I can't even describe you were the light in my life I never had. When I met you I was no longer a runner or a smoker some how you were the only good thing in my life and that's probably why I didn't run away. Until now. I finally lost that thing that I was so desperately holding on to. You. You made me feel normal and all that running had finally given me something good.
Last night you told me to leave you alone. I made a promise to myself. If anyone ever tells me to go away. I will, not matter how hard it may be. I'll leave you alone from now. Is that what you want?
You've changed. Something about all that hurt that you sort of became used to. Hurt that I caused. I'm sorry for not have come to you, cuddle you or said everything was going to be alright to you. I honestly thought you didn't need it. You are a strong, beautiful women that most people would have killed to know or have been changed by.
I failed in that task. And because of my prejudices, I failed you. I am haunted by how things might have turned out differently if I had been more willing to hear your side of things I ask only that you believe this: whether you are now reading this angry or annoyed, I love you all the same, as I've always loved you and always will. (From The Vampire Diaries. I hope you don't mind. It has been changed since you are not a vampire.)
-Love Stefan
I sit there and look at the note. Winnie comes up from behind me and sits next to me. I fold the note up and hand it to her. She opens it up and looks at it.
"Stefan?" she asks. I look at her.
"Yeah. He's ran away. Like he always does" I say and stand up and try to walk off but Winnie grabs the bottom of my pyjama top.
"What's wrong?" she asks pulling me down to sit next to her.
"He ran away because of me. How do you think that makes me feel?"
"Its not your fault" she says bring me in fro a hug.
"Yes it is. I was the one that made him leave. I was the one that said we couldn't be together."
"You did the right thing. Don't worry." she says and kisses me on the head. I sit there and watch the horse play. I didn't mean for him to leave. I love him enough that I didn't want to hurt him. Why couldn't he understand that.
