The Letter
Dear Veronica,
I loved you. I really did. But, now it's too late for us. Too much has happened. Too many accusations. Too many words left unsaid. I've tried to move on with Meg. You've moved on with my best friend. I saw you two together at the party and something inside of me just broke. I didn't believe it was possible for one person to hurt so much. I felt so many emotions that night. Rage, sorrow, fear. Everything that happened between us, since Lily's death, played over and over in my mind. All the things you said, all your suspicions. You accused me of killing my own sister. But never to my face. No, you hid behind your computer screen or your latest investigation. I had to find out from Logan because you never could confront me.
To be fair, I'm the one who broke up with you. I broke your heart. But, I thought you were my father's secret love child, my half-sister. I continued to love you anyway. You'll never know how sorry I am for everything I didn't say to you then. The explanation I should have given you. Maybe, if I had told you this whole year would have been different but I wanted to spare you the pain of what I knew.
Shelley Pomroy's party was a mistake. I cannot put into words what I felt after that night. When I woke up next to you, I was happy and ashamed at the same time. But soon the realization of what we had done, what I had done, crept in. The shame and guilt were overwhelming. I had sex with my sister. It was so sick and wrong. I just had to get out of there. I felt like I was drowning. It never occurred to me that you wouldn't remember or that you wouldn't understand. I didn't know that you were drugged. I'm so sorry that you thought you were raped. And I'm sorry there was a time when you thought it was me. I would never do something like that to you. I hope you know that now. I hope you understand.
I'm glad you found out who killed Lily. And I'm glad you're not my sister. But I don't think things can ever be the same for us. Not after the way we've changed this last year. I don't think I'd want to go back anyway. I don't want to be that naïve boy who believed his sister was perfect and that his parents always knew what was best ever again. I don't want to forget all the lessons I've learned this year. I do have one regret, though. I think you know what it is but I'll tell you anyway. I wish that we could be together again. But you're with Logan now. And I'm back with Meg. Maybe, in the end, it's better this way. No. Not better, but definitely easier. Goodbye, Veronica. I'll always love you.
Duncan
