Emergence

Chapter 21

" Edmund please you have to help me!" I whisper harshly, grabbing the handles to my closet. " I have an id-" I open the closet and stop, staring at an empty closet. I shake my head in disbelief and look to to the right of my closet.

" Edmund," I whisper. I move my clothes out of the way, revealing an empty floor, my chest gets tight as I shake my head. " Oh no, Edmund." I whisper opening the left of my closet. " Edmund!" I whisper. I look on the floor and stare at a neatly placed envelope that reads Dear Freya on the front of it.

This is not real. I shake my head and stare at the top of my closet. " Vince is gone." I whisper. I stop and grab the envelope, shrugging. He must have opened a portal, he'll be back once he realizes how to get back. I slowly open up the envelope as a small note card fall out reading ' I have learned to cross worlds, I am so sorry'. I shake my head and start to feel tears fall down my face.

I fall on the floor, as I take out three pages and shake my head once again in disbelief. I can smell his cologne on the pages as I slowly run my fingers over them. I notice he's numbered them as I separate them and grab the first one.

Freya, you are most positively the love of my life. I must start this letter out with saying, I'm so sorry. I had been playing and preparing for us to leave, so all of my belongings were packed and ready to go. Though, I couldn't have imagined that it would end up just me leaving. From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry this had to happen to us. I was hoping for years, not months, actually to be truthful I was hoping a forever. Sadly this is not the case but I will never blame you, I will not blame you for us breaking up, for not doing everything we had planned, for the way we ended because we both know why this is. I am certain that our paths will cross again, and hopefully by then, we will have found a way to be together.

Freya, you were the most precious gift I was ever blessed to receive. You where the light in my life I had been hoping for, I hope to be together once again, but I'm afraid that is a star to be wished upon. Vince- the rest of the sentence is scribbled out. I shake my head and move on the the next paragraph.

I am now cursed, cursed with the time I wasted, feeding into Vince's trap. I should have spent that time finding all the possible ways to love you, just so Vince knew you could not be taken from me. So he knew that he didn't stand a chance, because we were too busy loving each other to care about him. I believe this to be my gravest mistake, the mistake that I will spend the rest of my life reaping for, because that mistake was made by me alone. I will spend my nights wishing that our relationship would have been forever.

I will never stop loving you, I know this. I however want to tell you that if you find someone and fall in love with them, I will not hold it against you. Your golden heart deserves the best Freya, sadly you and I both know that Vince is anything but that- in fact neither was I. If you ever find someone worthy of your love, go for him. I wish you only happiness and the best, who knows, maybe even Sage is better for you than I'd ever be.

Sage? He's not serious! This isn't happening, I shake my head violently as I stare at a whole paragraph cover in ink, scribbled out past recognition and shake my head.

There's something just eating me alive, I just can't bring myself to tell you. I can't tell you in writing, that makes me out to be a cowards. I will however say this, Vince is the lowest piece of scum on this entire planet, I think I helped you see his true side. It's important that you know the real him.

I know you wanted us to get along when you and I got together, I just hope you understand why we can't. He's screwed me over countless times, though I feel that this is the worst time. He had set his eyes on you, Sage was right about that and sometimes I wonder if I'm to blame for your pain.
