Dear Jem,
To my dearest Jem,
To my best friend who stole my girl. Well, maybe stole isn't the right word, but she isn't mine now is she?
I'm not mad though, just sort of surprised. Surprised that for once I can't use words to describe what I'm feeling or what's happening to my heart. Though just because I can't describe it, it doesn't mean that it's not breaking, remember that dear friend. I know I should be writing this to the goddess called Tessa instead of you but I can't bring myself to say good bye, because that is what it really is for me, a good bye. Good bye to a dream that was not a nightmare. Good bye to someone who seemed to be something that could be constant in my life. Good bye to the one who snared my heart. Good bye to love for me at least.
I know she didn't mean to break me but maybe if she meant to, maybe it would not hurt this badly. I could just drink and drown myself but when I drink to forget, I remember now.
Maybe I'm cursed because I'm just too beautiful. Whatever it may be Jem, be good to her.
I'm begging you. If you hurt her I'm taking her back and locking her away to keep her safe. Treat her like a diamond, something pretty and valuable yet it's sturdy enough to not break easily. Trust me Jem, we both know she can't be broken. Her spirit is strong and her mind is clever; never underestimate her.
Dear friend whose more like a brother, don't feel sorry for me. We both know I can survive even if I'm not as gorgeous by the end of it. Wait, let's be honest here, I can never not be gorgeous! If that happened an apocalypse would occur and we both don't want that to happen.
One last thing before I end this letter to you Jem – keep her golden.
Sincerely yours and Tessa's for now and beyond life,
William Herondale
Please rate and review! I'm debating if I should make this a series of letters or just keep it at this. Thanks! BTW the keep her golden part is in reference to Robert frosts poem about how nothing gold can stay which is also my fave poem ever written besides the sonnet from Shakespeare :)
