After seeing how much Justin had improved in the new Waterloo Road episode, I decided some letter writing was in order, so enjoy!
Tiffany
I'm not really sure to begin to be honest. I've never had a way with words - but I'm guessing you noticed that. I have a tendency to ramble or procrastinate when I'm nervous. Hell, it's taken me this long just to pick up the pen. But back to the point…
I can't begin to apologise for my behaviour last year, and what I did to your family. I don't know what happened to me; but that's no excuse, I know.
First of all, I should never have forced you into my plan, it probably would have ruined your life. Even though I was not successful in taking you away, my mind kept going into overdrive. If anything happened to you, I'd never forgive myself. Second of all, I should never have laid a hand on your mum, on Allie like I did - I know that now. I knew it then. But now that I'm in therapy I can think clearly for the first time in a while. I am able to face up to the hurt and damage I've caused, and take responsibility for it. I know she won't want to hear it, but please send your mum my sincerest apology - I have to at least attempt to make amends.
Everything's changed since you were last here, and not all for the good. There a more problem kids around than before - something to do with my dad's new scheme. Oh yeah, and Waterloo Road might be merging with Havelock, can you imagine? The council want to sell off the school land to fund a new science for the merger. How will I protect my wallet then?! Mum is also working at school as a temporary replacement for Allie, so now I have not one but two parent teachers on site. Oh the joy! I think Leo hoped that Mum was moving back in with us, but I can't see that happening anytime soon.
But I've taken up enough of your time, then and now. From the bottom of my heart I wish you and your family all the luck for your new start, and u hope your mum finds someone to look after you all - preferably without a psycho son though. Maybe you'll find someone to, make sure he treats you right if you do. Have fun Tiff, and be happy. I have never met anyone more deserving.
Yours sincerely,
Justin Fitzgerald x
