Dear Bry

Author: Storm Rating: PG Disclaimer: I don't own.... This is a little thing that will lead up to the sequel of "Darkness Falls"

Dear Bry,

I still don't understand why you haven't written back from my last two letters. Well...maybe I do but it's me, Adam.  I finally talked to Matt about what happened. I think he finally understands that I was your first and he was doing the same things I did. He wants you see you.  Bry, he's not the same. He's sickly looking. His heart is broken over you and what he did. He's sorry, Bry. Forgive him?

Did you go back with Mark? Did you even go back home? Are you okay? Please tell me. I am so worried about you. And, so it Jay. You know how he is. He can' stand to see someone hurt, even if they are bad. But, Bry, what's up? Come back to North Carolina where I know you are safe.  Please write back, Bry. I love you and wish I could see you soon and make sure you are well.

I love you, Bry.

Adam I ripped the letter up and threw it into the trash. Tears were falling down my face. I am going to write him now, I thought. It's safe now. Grabbing a notebook, I sat down on my kitchen table to write him.

Dear Adam, Sorry that I haven't written you back but some things have happened that I'm not proud of. I am going to tell you but do not tell Matt, or anyone for that matter, that I have made contact with you. It is still painful for me. Anyway, after I got home, I did go back with Mark. It wasn't a bed of roses. It got worse when he found out that I was pregnant. Yes, it was Matt's, and the reason I say was is because he beat me until I lost it. Not long after I got out of the hospital, Mark left for the plastic blonde nurse who took care of me for the week and a half.  My family disowned me because of that thing with Jacob, which I don't really mind. I haven't heard from them since I got back into Canada.

My mental stability has gone down the tubes. I have no friends, family, or life. I know I messed up, Adam, I know. I wake up at night and cry for Matt. It hurts so bad when I can't heard him laugh. Often finding myself watching wrestling, I long for those times we, Matt and I, would just talk about the feelings he gets from the fans. I miss everything, and I'm sorry for everything. It's like darkness has fallen over my soul. A piece is missing from my heart and it hurts. But, I brought it on myself, calling your name while Matt and I was together. I just hope I didn't put a bridge between you and Matt.  Adam, you are my friend, my brother, but I can't come home. I can't handle being so close to something I can't touch. I forgave Matt along time ago, although he has nothing to apologize for. But, I have not forgiven myself. It will take a while to do that. Give me time. I ask you...give me time?

I fold the letter and stuff it into an envelope. I fix it so I can mail it to Adam the next day. Hoping deep down that Adam does not tell Matt that he has heard from me. My heart still hurts way too much, even if it's okay now.
