Sarah vs. The End of the Line
AN: This is my first fanfic and concerns Monday's episode. I decided to help me get over the pain by writing. So don't judge too harshly. Also I don't own "Chuck" or any of the characters relating to the show. This is also AU.
He was gone.
She still couldn't believe it. Why, only a few hours ago he was hugging her. Now she was holding his dead body in her hotel room, tears running down her face. The tears were not only for the fact that he was gone, but for the letter he left behind.
Dear Sarah,
I have finally realized what my life means in this small world, especially in the last year. It means nothing. I am a nobody, a "computer nerd" as you put it.
I have realized that I am not the man you want. I saw you looking at Cole, Sarah and it confirmed it for me what I feared all along. I'm not good enough for you. I'm not good enough for anyone. I mean Cole was right. I'm a pathetic idiot. So, like an overloaded computer, I've crashed. I can't do it anymore. Please say goodbye to everybody for me. Tell Ellie and Awesome and Morgan that I'm sorry. Just tell them I couldn't take my life anymore.
Tell Casey to keep up the good work. And as for you, Sarah, be happy and remember that I will always love you no matter what you have done or will do. Goodbye.
Your Loving Asset, Chuck Bartowski
As soon as she finished the letter, she despairingly thought back to the recent weeks in the suburbs and with Cole and it shook her to the core what she remembered. She remembered everybody knocking him because he wasn't an agent. She also remembered turning him down for the second night in the suburbs and how distraught he looked. But finally she remembered Cole and how he had swept her off her feet. And she remembered all of the mixed signals she had given Chuck in the past year and a half.
As she held his body, she cried not for only for him, but for herself as well. She berated herself because she lost what she so desperately wanted most.
"You were wrong Chuck" she whispered in between her sobs. "You were more than enough for me."
She suddenly realized that it was the end of the line.
The next day, Casey came by her apartment only to discover two bodies next to each other on the floor. The second one had a note lying on her stomach. He picked it up and read it.
Casey,
I promised once nothing would ever hurt him. I failed and therefore I can't go on.
I have to protect him up there.
Sarah
Casey grimaced at the scene, almost Shakespearean in form and nature.
"The two were meant for each other" he grumbled to himself, as he left the room to call in the cleaner crew.
A bit tragic, huh. That's what I felt about the Beefcake episode. Please review. Fair Criticisms are welcome, but no flames please.
