Forget me never...

Letter 15

By mrscage


My dear Candy,

I don't know how to start this letter. This is the first time that I can't find the right words to say. I have to be honest with you, I couldn't believe it when I read your letter. How could my sweet, innocent, pure Candy could do something like that? I know how much you love Terry but I would never think that you would... you could... Candy! How could you?!

It was a bad idea to let you meet him in the theater that day, I had to stop you but I thought that you had things to say to each other. When you didn't come home that night, I didn't even suspect that you could give yourself to him. What was in your mind Candy?! You gave him to Susanna and then you made love to him?! Look at the situation now.

I hope you understood now how stupid it was to give yourself to him. But I can't blame only you, Terry is the one to be blamed more. He took advantage of the situation... He slept with you and didn't leave Susanna? I thought he was better than that... I thought he would respect you, but I was wrong about him, I trusted him and look what he did!

Now, I am the one who has to take care of this situation. I'm mad at you but I am glad that you came to me to ask help before doing something more stupid. What's done is done... and I will do my best to help you.

First of all, stop talking about leaving. I will never let you go in your condition, you are my only family. You're closer to me than all those people who share my last name.

I thought about what we could do all night and unfortunately there are not much choices. The most reasonable thing to do is to let Terry know that there is a consequence of his act. I know that we both agreed, you and me, that his duty was to take care of Susanna after the accident but now things changed. He has to be by your side, Candy. You are carrying his baby... Please try to be less selfless this time... But I know so well that telling about your condition to Terry is not even an option for you now. You care more about Susanna's health than about yours. I know how you think, but please think about it one more time. A child needs a father and a pregnant woman needs a husband!

There is also a second option, Candy. And I know that this was what you were asking from me in your letter. I've read it many times and you asking for my help could mean only one thing, and we both know what it is. You want me to be the father of your child but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. You love Terry and he loves you, even if I'm mad at both of you now, I know how big is your love for each other. So please think about it again, Candy.

Please also understand that if I'm writing to you that you should go to Terry, it's because it's the right thing to do but if you decide not to go to him, I would never let you alone. I am and will be here for you. So if this is what you decide, I will marry you and be the father your child needs, I will always take care of you...

I'm waiting for your decision to know what to do.

Always there for you,

Albert
