Washed Up Wonder (NessXLucas)

A letter to Lucas

To Lucas,

I know how dumb this is, writing you a letter but I thought of something while I was getting ready to go out. It sounds stupid but...

What if something goes wrong?

What if I don't manage to make it back home?

Yeah... I know it's stupid. Things won't go wrong. I know it.

Come on Lucas, you gotta believe me when I say that things will be okay. I know you're against the idea of seeking revenge on the Drago that killed Mom but nothing will go wrong. Trust me. If anything, you're missing an experience of a lifetime!

I'm gonna be such a hero after I do this!

I still don't understand why you denied my offer to come with me. People would stop calling you a crybaby if you came with me you know.

Sorry... This was supposed to be a goodbye letter if things went wrong but I bet I'm just making you upset.
Sorry.

Knowing me, I'll never give this to you. It will go on of two ways. I'll either change my mind about giving this to you and hide it somewhere for it to be never seen again or it will be left on the table until you or Dad finds it.

I'm gonna be real honest Lucas, since this is supposed to be a goodbye letter I want to be as honest with you as possible...

You're the best brother I ever could have asked for! I know that I've been really mean to you and have basically bullied you for your entire life but isn't that what brothers do?

No?

Well then that just makes me look like a bad brother now!

I'm sorry... for everything.

I'm sorry I got mad at you before Mom's funeral. I just didn't understand why you were crying so much. Of course I was sad that Mom had passed away but she wouldn't want us to be crying... she would want us to be living our life to the fullest. She would want us to make her proud.

You looked so scared when I shouted at you. You couldn't stop crying either. If that is going to be the last time we see each other then I want to apologize for yelling at you. It wasn't the right time. It was right before Mom's funeral. I'm sorry.

While I'm on the topic of apologizes, I guess I should apologize for all of the little things too. Like the time I left you in the sunflower fields all by yourself so you got lost and the time that I refused to talk to you for an entire week because I though you were too much of a crybaby. I'm sorry for all of it.

I'll be so embarrassed if you find this and bring it up.

I'm going to apologize for this anyway but I thought that I'd better write it down, just in case I forget.

I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you what happened to Mom straight away. I didn't want you to see, like I did. It was horrifying. That's why I covered your eyes. I know that you could still hear her screaming for us to run away and leave her but I just couldn't let you see.

I remember while I was dragging you away through the forest, you kept asking questions and crying as you did so. Eventually, I broke. I shouted at you... again. I told you what happened in the worst way possible. I was just to angry.
I'm sorry.

Now that I think about it, I've been a terrible brother, Haven't I?

If this is goodbye then... I want you to have an amazing life. I don't want what anyone says to you to hold you back. I don't want me to hold you back.

I'll be fine.

I can say that a thousand times and you still won't believe me.

I'll come back home and make everything up to you. I promise.

Even if it doesn't seem like it... I love you and you are the best brother in the world. Don't you ever doubt yourself on that. Ever.

From,
Soon to be hero,

Claus

A/N: well, that was the final chapter. The end. The finale.

I actually can't believe that this is over. I've had so much fun writing this and I'm sad to see it end.

I would have never expected for this to be successful. Like seriously!! Thank you all so much for reading this!! I would have never imagined for it to hit 5K and actually be 1# in the Mother3 category!!

Thank you so much!!

I feel like this story could go on forever but let's be serious... this story is already long enough. However, I will definitely be writing other things (that could potentially link to this) in other books.

So yeah... the end!
