TOW the letters, part 3
So this is the third part. It will be longer than the last one. The characters do not belong to me.
When Billy got the post, like he always did, he was very surprised. Again there was a letter from the girl, who thought they had the same mother. He brought the other post to his father and then he disappeared with his letter in the barn, always followed by Chany. He tore it open and read it. He all of sudden felt bad. This girl was just trying to find her mother and he had told that she was dead. Billy decided to tell her the truth, though he had just received two letters from her, he began to like her, or better what she wrote.
Dear Sara,
I feel very bad because I lied to you. The woman you think is your mother, my mother is not dead. I just told you that beacuse I didn´t want to share her with you or anybody else. I am sorry. And I am not 17, I am 9 years old. Sorry for that too. It must be very hard for you that your fathers girlfriend is pregnant, and that she was the best friend of your...my...or our mother was must be even harder. You can wite me always if you have problems, I guess that is the least I can do for you since I have your mother, well she is mine too but you know what I mean. And no matter what you tell me, I won´t tell anyone else, believe me.
Your William ( Billy)
Billy smiled as he finished the letter. He was proud of himself for writing all this. But it was the truth he felt sorry for her. He couldn´t imagine his life without his mother. Only the thought that she had an other child felt kinda weird for him. But he slowly got used to it. His father came into the barn.
" What are you doing?" he asked harsh. " Just writing to my pen pal." Billy replied a bit nervous. He looked at his father. Billy was scared of him very often, like now. It seemed like his own father didn´t like him and Billy couldn´t figure out why. " You can give me the letter, I just wanted to go to the post office." Richard wanted to take the letter from his son but Billy backed away. " You don´t have to, it is not finished yet." " If you think so." With that Richard left. Billy was gald. He wasn´t sure if his father knew about his mothers past, but he probably did because his mother had told him that they had known each other a very long time. As soon as his father was gone, Billy took his bike and Chany and drove off.
Chandler had decide that it was time for a new home. Lately he felt like everything just had to change. At least he was going to be a father again. He was happy sure but somewhere deep inside he was hurt, too. Chandler always wanted more kids but he always thought that he would have them with Monica and not with anyone else, especially not with Rachel. Though Chandler loved her, he wasn´t sure if he could spend his whole life with her. Right now he wasn´t thinking of Rachel but of Monica, he had missed her terribly since she was gone, he hadn´t admitted it to anyone not even to himself. But now he couldn´t lie to himself anymore. She had been the love of his life, no question but she was gone. Chandler didn´t even really know why, the only thing he knew was one day when he came from work that Monica was gone, without anything. Ross had told him later that she and Richard were back together and that Monica was pregnant. Chandler had been very sad and kinda angry about this, but he kept all of this inside. And he stopped talking about Monica, but with that he hurt their little daughter, Sara. Chandler was especailly angry with Monica cause she had left her daughter. Though Sara was very little when she left he knew that she would never forget her mother, and neither could he.
Monica sat in her kitchen, bored. Both, her husband and her son, weren´t home. It was almost every time that way. She didn´t get to see Richard very much, he was always working. Too late she had realized that he was a workaholic, and then there was Billy. He always were somewhere outside, or in the barn. Billy loved it to be alone, he really was a loner. And so Monica was alone, too. She often thought about the old times when she had all her friends in New York. She loved the life on a farm but he missed her friends, and Chandler. Lately she thought about him very often and their daughter. Monica never forgot about her, how could she, she was her daughter. Sometimes she imagined how her life would have turned out if she had never left them, she couldn´t, not anymore, she had her life and they had too. And even if she would return, they would want an explaination and that she couldn´t give him. It had been a decision she made nine years, almost ten years ago. If she had stayed, the truth would have hurt Chandler as well.
Sara was happy to receive an other letter from her half brother, or whatever he was. But she was very surprised when she read it, he had lied and not just about his age. But Sara was happy, that her mother, if she was that, was still alive. She decided to send Billy a picture of her, to make sure if she was the daughter of his mother. Everybody told her she looked like her mother. It made Sara proud to hear that, it was the only thing she had from her mother. She hadn´t told anyone about her contact to Billy, not even her best friend Mary. She kinda felt bad for not telling anyone, but who should she have told this?
I know it wasn´t much longer but at least a bit.
