Giving Up Forever

Anakin silently opened the door to the apartment. It was night and he moved like the shadows into the room. He was dressed completely in black and he would have been mistaken for just a shadow if his hardened face hadn't contrasted his clothing so much.
When he saw that the coast was clear, Anakin walked over to a small table and placed a small white envelope on the table. He looked over to the door he knew was the entrance to Padmé's bedroom and longed so much to enter, but he couldn't just use her for his primal needs. She deserved to be treated better.
He left the apartment to go back down to the depths of Coruscant leaving only the letter with Padmé's name hastily scrawled on it as the only evidence of his being there. He wanted to go back to Padmé and explain to her the letter, but he knew this was his only choice.

Dear Padmé,

I am so very sorry to have left you for so long. But I had things to attend to that you will probably hear of very soon if you have not already. I didn't mean to hurt anyone by doing those, but it was my only option and deep down inside I am very sorry for giving myself only that choice.

There is reason behind this letter other then self-regret, I wrote it to say good- bye. Because of my actions I have only one choice now, and much to my dismay I know I cannot be with you anymore. I know you probably don't understand, but it is my only choice.

I hope that you can forgive me for doing this, but it has to be done. I just need you to promise me that you will just forget about me. Just forget I even existed. Pretend that the child you now carry is someone else's. Pretend that you never loved me and get on with your life.

Promise me you'll never do anything stupid like I did as well. Promise me you'll never give up. Promise me you will never stop loving life. Promise me you'll never give up living forever. Never give up forever, like I'm going to have to do.

Once again I am sorry for any pain I have caused and will cause. I'm sorry I couldn't have been smarter. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there for you. I'm sorry to everyone that hoped for me. I'm sorry you had to love me. I'm sorry I have to give up forever with you.

Sincerely,

Anakin Skywalker

Padmé clutched the letter to her chest as the tears flowed freely down her cheeks with a million questions running through her head. How could he have left? How could he done that? How could he just leave like that? How could she forget about him?
But she knew she would never get an answer from any of the questions and there was nothing she could do to stop him. There was only one thing to do.
Promise she'd never give up forever.

The End


A/N: At the moment, this is just a short little thing. But if I get enough reviews of people wanting me to continue I will. Thanks for reading my story. ^_^
