Forget me never...

Letter 13

My dear Albert,

I know you're on your trips and I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope you get this letter in good health. But I'm lost and I need your help. I did something... I did the unforgivable... Terry and I started to write each other again and we rekindled our relationship. I know what you're thinking, that we shouldn't have done it, we should've stuck to our promises, but please, save the lectures for later... right now I need your help.

Terry and I met a few times and we were intimate. I know that a lady should've kept herself pure, but... anyway, what's done is done and now I have to suffer the consequences of my actions... you guessed it! I'm pregnant with Terry's baby! I can't stop crying, but yet a part of me is happy. I don't know what to do Albert, I can't tell Terry now, and he's going to leave Susanna and come and be with me. The fact that he came to meet me, Susanna got very sick and he wasn't there... Susanna needs him so much... I told you how she stopped thinking about killing herself, when Terry carried her back to her room... Being in Terry's arms gave her hope. She needs him. She needs him, she loves him, she lost her leg saving him, her state of mind is fragile, so she needs all the help she can get and Terry is a very big part of that help...

Oh Albert! I'm so sorry, but I loved Terry so much, I thought that our love should have a chance, but I acted without thinking of the consequences...or unconsciously, I wanted it to happen, I wanted something to remember Terry by... If you ban me from the family and exile me far away, I will understand, I brought shame to the Andrew name. But in the name of our friendship, I'm begging for your help. You saved my life once, which means you're responsible for me, even if you weren't my adoptive father. My life belongs to you. So Albert, I'm begging for you help in this matter... Tell me what to do... if you want me to go, I will disappear so your family's reputation won't be tarnished.

Yours always,

Candy
