Letters & Allocations
Doll,
Hey lovely- it’s a shame, but I think I’m going to miss your wedding. Here I was hoping I’d be able to keep a nice memory of you walking down the aisle and everything but I suppose pictures will have to suffice, yeah? At the very least, I hope what I’ve left you will help make sure you get everything you want for it and nothing less. After all, you deserve a wedding far grander than anything I think you’d let yourself have, but that’s what I like about you. Keep an eye out on Dagger and your big sister on my behalf, won’t you? Being the most level-headed, I think you’re best suited for the job, really- though don’t tell Beast I said that, else she might consider flaying me alive if she ever sees me again.
Love, Bridget
P.S. Make sure Dagger finds a nice girl, yeah?
Maxxie
Hey lovely,
Looks like I’ve gone off and left without getting to see you and Gino start planning the wedding. I’m sorry for that, and I’m sorry for not being able to get you home- or someplace other than this stupid island, at least. I want you to know that getting to know you was one of the better things that happened to me while I was here, and I mean that. You’ve never been anything but good to me, even when we disagree, and I hope that I managed to do the same. Even if I can’t remember you when I leave here, you’ll always be near and dear to my heart, and I hope you know that I cared for you deeply-you were like a brother to me, and I pray that you’ll find nothing but hope and happiness for as long as you’re here. Who knows, maybe if I come back, you can tell me off for being such a stupid thing and getting sent off, yeah? Just never forget that no matter where I am, I’ll always love you, deep, deep down, even if I don’t remember you. You’re a good person, Maxxie and no matter what you think of yourself or how many people you sleep with, that’s never going to be any less true. You just need to realize it and see all the good things about yourself that the rest of us do. So many people wouldn’t like you so much if you were a terrible person, you know. You just have to keep remembering it, and keep being a light for people who need it, alright? I hope we get to see each other again someday, Maxxie. I’ll miss you.
Love, Bridget
P.S. Name a ferret after me or something, won’t you? ♥
Travis,
First off- I’m sorry. I wouldn’t leave people here if I could and you know it, but I’m afraid we both know how it goes here, yeah?
However- if I come back and here that you did anything unnecessarily stupid while I was gone, I will hurt you. Then I believe I shall very promptly take my lumps in return- after all, I’d feel terribly for having been sent away, I should think. Regardless, I hope you know this doesn’t mean you’re allowed to go off gallivanting after Atia full-force, if you’d actually care to- completely the opposite, in fact. Keep yourself out of trouble, you idiot- you’ve got too many people relying on you to get yourself killed… or worse. So don’t do anything stupid over this, alright? Maybe someday down the line when she’s been dealt with, we’ll be able to see each other again. I mean, I’d like that, at least, if you wouldn’t mind. So don’t give up, alright? I want to hear all about how you beat her one day, and you’d better not disappoint me, you hear?
Take care of yourself, idiot- I love you, sort of- and take care of the boys for me, won’t you? Since they’re rather terrible at doing it themselves and all, you know? They need someone to look after them, especially when they’re being stupid.
Best of luck,
Bridget
Ral,
For God’s sake, behave and try not to do anything to embarrass the café too much, yeah? I’ve enclosed a few pictures I figured you’d like to have, and I hope things will go well for you. Don’t grope the customers or your coworkers without permission, listen to whomever gets put in charge, and good luck, not that you really need it, you cheeky thing.
Sincerely, Bridget
Ace
Make sure Thom doesn’t do anything stupid, yeah? And Rook too, if he ever crops back up- or hell, any of the lads, really. And you try not to die, yeah? Kind defeats the point if you can’t remember my telling you to take care of them. Left you some cash, in case things get… iffy. And you’ll take it, else I’ll make sure to leave myself a note to kick your arse for it.
All the best,
Bridget
John Rook,
If you don’t remember me, then please- by all means get rid of this. I don’t want to make things any more complicated than they have to be. Burn it, tear it up- whichever you prefer, just please…
If you do remember me, then I’m sorry- I would have wanted to be here to see you again, you know. There’s so much we didn’t get to do and so much I never got to say before you left… The most important thing being this:
I love you, you great bloody idiot.
If you didn’t rip this up at that- which I don’t think you will, or at least hope that you won’t- I want you to know I mean it. Really, truly mean it with all my heart. I would’ve told you before you left, but it was the damnedest thing- I don’t think I knew, really, that I was in love with you until you were gone. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I suppose- or makes us face the things we were trying to deny ourselves. Either way, I never got the chance to tell you- and I would have, eventually, no matter how stupid you’d have thought- and probably do think- I was being. I told myself I wouldn’t do it again, you know. ‘Don’t fall for anyone here again, and you’ll be alright’ I told myself. Don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love- and then I go and do it anyway. And not even with anyone who would really love me back- at least not the way I always thought people should love you if they did at all.
I wasn’t first priority- bloody hell, I wasn’t even second priority but… I was alright with that. Surprised myself with that a fair bit, you know. After all, you saw how terribly jealous I was while we were married- I don’t share the people I love well Rook, and yet… Well. Havemercy and Thom were always your priority, and I was jealous, no use lying about it. But I could deal with that. For you, I pushed that aside and was just happy that you were with me, for that short time when you were the center of my world.
Then you left, and stupid as it sounds, I think part of my heart went with you. I was tempted to forget you, like I made myself forget the last bloke I was in love with, but I know just what you’d have thought of that, and besides- your memory was important to me. You taught me a lot, you know, about dealing with things and being honest with myself, and I couldn’t let myself forget those things- or you. Definitely not you, Rook.
I wanted to wait for you, and barring that, try to find you. Maybe someday I will- after this place, just about anything is possible, don’t you think? I hope I can manage it- I want to see you again someday, no matter what it takes.
And if by some chance I come back and don’t remember you- try to remind me, Rook? Please.
I want to love you again, if you’d let me.
With all my heart, now and always-
Love, Bridget
P.S. If you didn’t remember me, and you read this anyway, I hope you’re satisfied John. I still love you regardless, you jerk.
