╔═════ ∘◦ ☆ ◦∘ ══════╗ the letters she never gave ╚═════ ∘◦ ❉ ◦∘ ══════╝
Dear Erik,
I don't know why I'm writing to you, when I do not even know where you are. It's been three months since the incident in Cuba, and ever since you left with Raven, everything's changed.
I don't know how to break it to you but, Charles is in a wheelchair now. He's trying to adjust himself to it, and I know that he's having a hard time, but he's being incredibly strong.Despite everything, he still dedicates himself into building the very first school for gifted youngsters, the very first school for mutants like us.
He spent all his life trying to find someone who could help people like him, and when he couldn't , he decided that he would be the one to do so.
Carter decided to leave a couple of weeks later,but he promised us that he would come back. He helped all of us get back to our feet, not to mention that he and Charles are exceptionally close - the two became good friends, and I couldn't blame him for that, Carter have always had a contagious smile.
I didn't want to leave Charles behind, but once I saved enough money to bring both my brother and mother here, I decided that maybe I should be the one to go back.The war is over now, the imperial army no longer invades my province, and it is safe for me to return.
It is better than staying in the mansion, and be reminded of you everytime I look at the walls, to hear your voice every where, only to be reminded that you are no longer here with me.
It's better than closing my eyes to only see you in my dreams, to wake up afterwards with the feeling of loss pressing against my chest.
It's better than being haunted by the ghost of our memories.Even the rain would always remind me of the little talks we shared, of the valuable moments we made.
I can't look at anything, without remembering you. Every time I look at Charles, I would always see the man who left him, the man who left me.
You left us, Erik, you left all of us.
How could you ?

Dear Erik,
It's been over a year now and today I just found out, that kleine Maus means ' little mouse ' in German.
Is that what you've been implying ? That I am short and small ? If we were to meet again, I can assure you that I am more than ' short and small'. Yet, I can't help but laugh at the thought of how oblivious I had been to the nickname.
I miss that.
I miss your smile, I miss the way you'd look at me as you say those words. I miss the way you'd always challenge me silently, behind those cold and calculated eyes was a man of mischief.
I wish that things could've ended differently.
I wish you didn't leave.

Dear Erik,
Charles called me today, he told me that you've gotten yourself into trouble. .
I knew you were reckless, but I never knew that you would be this reckless. You killed the president, and you're in prison now, inside the pentagon. Although, something doesn't add up here.
Why would you kill the president ? It's very unlikely of you, and I have to say, I'm more baffled than I am disappointed.
If only I was there, to see the bigger picture. Yet, I don't have the heart to go back, to look at you in the eye once more. To actually talk to you face to face.
After everything that had happened, no matter how much I miss you,
I just can't.

Dear Erik,
I've lost count on how long it has been since I've written one of these letters. What's the point anyways, I never got to send them to you, nor do I have the courage to.
I can't continue on like this, to write to someone I can't even meet. To someone so dear to me, yet so far away. To a friend that feels nothing more like a stranger.
It's time for me to move on, I suppose. For I promised myself to never run away from anything anymore, but that's exactly what I'm doing with you. I'm running away from the past, from the fact that you are long gone.
From the fact that I'll never get to see you again.
This is my last letter to you, Erik Lehnsherr, and I'm sorry, that it had to end this way.
You are, and forever will be, my first love - and perhaps, my last as well.
Goodbye, Erik Lehnsherr.

So to officially close this fic ,here is the final chapter, as I promised !
Thank you all for your support, I appreciate it ! For those who are asking if I am going to write a sequel, I'm still thinking about it - because I have a lot in my plate at the moment.
But I would certainly love to write more Fanfiction about the X-Men and Erik Lehnsherr in the future !
