Saying Goodbye
Hey guys, just a quick little story for all the Fitzsimmons fans out there. I'd like to think Simmons would have left a note for Fitz saying goodbye before jumping out of the plane, I don't think she'd just jump without having a proper goodbye. I'm thinking of creating a story revolving around the note but I'd like some reviews to see if it's any good. Enjoy.
Leo,
By the time you get this note, I'll be gone.
So sorry for hitting you in the head with the fire extinguisher. I tried not to hit you too terribly hard but this is the first time I've ever done this sort of thing so hopefully you'll just be left with just a little bump and a slight headache and. . and . . . I'm rambling again aren't I? This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. . . saying goodbye that is. I wanted to say it in person, to have a proper goodbye with you but I know you would have tried to stop me and I couldn't take that chance. I know you're going to be angry with me when you wake up and that's okay because it means you'll be alive. You know this is the right thing to do, that there was no other way. I had to do it Fitz and hopefully someday you'll understand. How could I stay aboard knowing that I would be killing everyone? You know I could never do that, I could never let anyone else die because of me. . .let you die because of me. It's the right choice and you know it, so don't you dare for a second blame yourself for this. You were brilliant Leo, figuring out that we could try to create an antiserum from the DNA inside the helmet, rushing to get it and coming inside the lab with me and risking your life. You did everything you possibly could and you never gave up, even when I hit you over the head. Thank you. . thank you for giving me hope when there was none. I'm glad we got the chance to work beside each other one last time, even if the antiserum didn't work. It was incredible and it's something I am going to miss terribly. It was a valiant effort Fitz but we simply jut ran out of time. . .in more ways than one. You always think you're going to have more time than you actually do and so you put things off and put things off until the time comes when it's too late. . when you realize you should have done something earlier, should have said something earlier. Leo, you mean so much more to me than just a partner or colleague or friend. You're my rock. . the one person in my life that I couldn't imagine living without. You've put up with my neuroticism and craziness without even blinking and you understand me so completely. . it's something I'm going to miss about you so much.
The truth is that I'm not afraid of dying. . I' m afraid because it means I'll never get to see you again. I care about you so much and. . and . . . oh sod it if I can't say it now, when can I say it? I love you Leo. I'm not sure when it happened, when I felt our relationship slowly change and turn into something more for me but it did, it changed. Death has a way of putting things into perspective I suppose. I just. . wanted you to know that. It's been an incredible journey with you Fitz and I don't regret a thing. I'm not sure how to end this letter because once I do. . .it means it's the last time I'll ever get to talk to you. I'll end with this I suppose. By telling you to take care, to try not to be too sad and know that I'll always be with you.
Love always and forever.
Jemma
