A/n It's been awhile since I've written for Fan-fiction, and it's been even longer since I wrote an actual good story, so I am going to try and redeem myself to my Reader(s). I, Bandie24x7 present to you, Bioshock: Reunion

Just a small introduction about myself, and who I am, my name is William. I'm 18 years old and live in an old run down town, known as Portsmouth, Ohio. I have one person that I can actually call my friend, even more so she's my best friend. Her name is, Adela. We've known each other since we were young, about four years old to be exact. Now my life has never been "perfect," but Adela has had it rough, real rough. I don't believe she wants me sharing her life with you, so I'll hold off on doing that, or probably not do it at all. Even though you may not know that much about her, know this... she's my best friend, and I'd probably do anything for her, all she has to do is ask. It is right now April 16th, and I'm meeting Adela for some coffee.

"Hey William," She says with a smile as I walk up.

"Hey Adela, sorry I'm late," I say as I motion for her to sit down.

"Thank you for coming," She said taking a sip of her coffee.

"You said over the phone you needed to talk about something?" I asked suddenly getting worried by the look on her face.

"Yeah, well. I. Have something I need to tell you," She said trying to hold back tears.

"What, what's wrong?" I asked, with strong worry in my voice.

"You know that new city, the one underwater, Rapture?" She asked with complete seriousness.

"Yeah, I've heard about it, what of it?" I asked trying to guess where this could go.

"Well, I have this illness, and no doctors here can cure it, but... they believe that Rapture has the equipment needed to treat me," She said as tears started to cloud her eyes.

"Please don't cry, it blocks your beautiful eyes," I said trying to calm her down.

"Thank you William, you always know what to say to try and cheer me up, but it's not gonna help this time," She said pausing to catch her breath, "I have to leave Portsmouth, I may never get to see you again."

"I understand, but you don't need to cry," I said trying to comfort her.

"Why not?" She asked, cheering up a bit.

"Cause I feel as though we'll end up meeting again, it's destiny," I said as I finished my coffee.

"Thank you, William," She said standing up to leave.

"Any time you need anything, don't be afraid to ask, I'll help anyway I can," I answered standing to leave myself.

I walked Adela back to her house, we walked in silence. I kept thinking about what if I never see her again? what if this is it? What if something happens in Rapture? All these questions came to mind. I couldn't think of a good solid answer for any. I almost broke down and started crying myself when she looked at my with the saddest face I had ever seen. She started to say something then stopped, looked at the ground, closed her eyes and began to cry.

"Didn't I tell you not to cry?" I asked wiping her tears off her face.

"I can't help it, I've known you for so long, and your my only true friend." She said as she raised her head, "Your the one person that I feel like I could tell everything, and not be afraid of you telling anybody."

"That's how I feel about you, I'm just sorry that there's nothing I can do to help you," I said as she turned around and opened the door to her house.

"You've done so much to help me through life, I could never repay you," She said as she walked inside and slowly closed the door.

I walked back to my house thinking about anyway I could help her, again nothing came to mind. She was sick, the only thing that could help her was this fabled cure in Rapture. I got home and quickly went to bed, I laid down on my bed and began brainstorming ideas, I wanted to come up with something to help her.

A week later, her house was cleaned out and she was moved to Rapture. I never officially got to say good-bye, or tell her how much she meant to me, it might have had to do with how afraid I am that she doesn't feel the same way. I don't know, all I do know is that I hope Rapture treats her better than this place has.

About a month since Adela left, I've been in a bit of a depression that doesn't seem to be getting fixed anytime soon. This was until I got home today. I have completely lost track of what the date is, but when I came home there was a letter with my name on it on the table. It was from Rapture.

"It can't be can it?" I asked as if someone was standing there.

I opened the envelope and pulled out the little folded piece of paper, it read:

Dear William,

Hey, how are you? In case you can't tell it's Adela, I've been doing pretty good. Rapture is so beautiful, but I still miss Portsmouth, I'll never forget the good things that happened there, but it's necessary that I come here, for healing. You talked about destiny last time we talked, I agree with you completely. I have a feeling that our futures and our destinies are intertwined. Well I can't write for long, I have to go take some tests. I'll be waiting for your reply.

Love,

Your best friend, Adela.

Upon reading this letter my eyes began to tear up. I fell to the floor and began to cry. I couldn't believe that she was gone, there was a chance I'd never see her again in my life, and what hurt the most was the "love" part. Did she truly mean it or was it just something for her to write? I couldn't ask myself to many questions, I had to write the reply. It was a short letter. It read:

Dear Adela,

I'm fine, and I could tell it was you. I'd say Rapture must be pretty neat, I mean it is a city under the water, and I know how necessary it is, I've come to deal with it, by deal with it I mean that Portsmouth sucks without you here, I've mostly been working at the local pub, I've been able to listen to lots of good Jazz music. I still remember how you used to love it. Well hope you get better.

Sincerely,

William

I couldn't bring myself to write "love." It must be because of how shy I am, I'm not sure. Regardless I decided on sincerely. I sent the letter out the next day, and waited for about another week for a reply. The reply came, but was even shorter than the last letter, it didn't really say much, except that she still liked Jazz, and she doesn't know if getting better will happen. I couldn't really think of a reply to that, so I mostly just said that I'd have to record some of the Jazz musicians that play at the pub, and send the tapes to her. I sent the letter out and didn't really expect a reply. Nevertheless a reply came, this one seemed a bit more frantic, and scared me.

Dear William,

Rapture isn't as beautiful as it used to be, everything is falling apart. I'm so scared, something really bad will happen soon I can just feel it. I really wish you were here, I wouldn't feel as scared. Well anyway I'm getting moved back to my apartment. My neighbors in apartment C-3 aren't really that kind. They seem like a crazy bunch, I really don't want to get mixed in with them. I'm so scared, William. I need some kind of reassurance. Again I wish you were here, it would be really comforting, also...

I dropped the paper in fear and ran to my room, grabbed my grandfather's revolver pistol, and ran back downstairs.

"Don't worry Adela, I'm on my way!" I screamed as I grabbed the paper, and folded it back into my pocket.

A/n Okay well that's all for Chapter 1: Letters. I'm trying a new approach on writing, a love story style isn't really fit for me, but to try and grab a reader's attention and put emotion into the story, I figured a little bit of romance would help, specially in this first chapter. I didn't think it would be as interesting of a read, if it had been a Male friend that had to leave to go to Rapture due to a sickness. I'm going to try and pour emotion into this story, I'm not sure how it'll work out, but I'm trying to give my reader(s) a good story, that they'd want to re-read sometime. Also in the last letter there's more to it, but William just dropped it when he realized how scared Adela is, and he went to go grab the gun. I'm thinking I may put the rest of the letter into the story later on, but I'm not sure if it'll have any importance or not. Well anyway thank you for reading this story, hope I grabbed your attention to want to come back for the next chapter or few.
