My Mistake

chapter 02

by aya_yahiko/Terra

I read the letter once again.

The letter... that had changed everything.

...2 years ago.

~~~~~

Flashback...

"What does it say?" Her teamate asked, as waiting for her to break the seal.

When she did, they found out that there were 2 letters inside. One for the 3 of them, and one only for her.

"I suggest you read it." Her olive haired friend said, as fixing his glasses. "If it woul be ok for you, please read the one addressed to the 3 of us out loud." He stopped and then continued, "We respect your privacy and you can read yours alone."

She nodded and smiled. She then unfolded the parchment and dictated it out loud.

****

Virginia, Gallows and Clive,

So, when you're reading this, my guess is I'm probably not there anymore. I hate crappy good byes, but I guess the least I could do to you is say that I'm leaving. I can't take it anymore, I guess I'm scared and I don't want to find out about my past. 'Cause I know if I go with you guys, I'll eventually find out the truth about myself. I have some hints, and so I think my past isn't a very nice one.

I hate to say this, but it's been fun, and I THINK I'll miss you guys.

Anyway, I guess I'm saying both good-bye and thank you in this letter. So,...

Thanks... and bye.

-Jet

****

The 2 immidiately silenced as their leader read the letter. It was only after a few minutes when Virginia suddenly spoke up.

"He's really gone." She said plainly, as silent tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked at the letter again, read it silently, then faced her teamates. "I'm going to sleep." She stated, trying to put a smile on her face.

Clive and Gallows could only nod at her as they watched her enter her room.

"We have to find him." The Baskar Tribesman stated, as entering their room as well. "Why did he do this?"

His companion just replied with a sigh. "I don't know...."

"She looked so sad..."

"I know."

The two then just sat on their beds and sighed, each absorbed with their own thoughts on how to cheer their leader up.

End Flashback...

~~~~~

I wonder... what happened then.

Why did he leave?

Did I do something wrong?

If he had stayed, he would've found out about his past. But I guess... that's the reason why he left.

Because he didn't want to find out.

.....

I... really don't know what to feel now. I lost daddy, and then Jet... why do people important to me fade away?

Wait...

Did I just think that Jet was important to me...?

.....

...I guess he is. Hehe, there would be no use denying it anyway.

Hmmmm... I wonder, if he would come back, what would I say to him? I really don't know what my heart wants me to do. Half of me wants to scold him, while the other half wants to jump for joy. That is, if ever he comes back.

I guess... that's never gonna happen.

Never.

Because he doesn't care.

.....

Right?

.....

He doesn't care.

.....

I opened the letter he had given me once again. I don't know why, but I bring this letter everywhere. Wherever I am, this letter is with me. This is the last piece of memory that Jet had given me. Maybe that's why its so important.

...Because it's a memory.

Hehe, he probably wouldn't like it if I said that.

Hmmm... I wonder what Gallows and Clive are up to now? I hope they're safe, and living happily with their loved ones.

Loved ones....

Family...

.....

The only family I have left is my uncle and aunt. Father and mother are gone....

I miss them so much...

.....

.....

.....

...I'm crying again.

I always end up crying when I think of Jet, then of my parents. It's a chain reaction that makes me remember all the good times and bad times I've had with both of them.

Sigh....

Daddy, Jet,....

If you had been there with me, I know Filgaia wouldn't have turned out like this...

But even so,....

I'm sorry for failing you.

.....

I'm really sorry.

I hope both of you forgive me.

.....

.....

Huh...?

It's raining...

Better get in the house!

.....

.....

.....

Ah, in the house and in my room at last! Luckily it rained, no one won't notice my tears....

Come to think of it, it was raining that night...

I clutched the letter again. I looked at it, I wanted to read it. But reading it again would only make me remember him. I don't want to remember him as someone who left. I want to remember him as someone who became my friend.

I smiled as I stared at the rain outside my window. I know Jet was out there, somewhere, in an inn probably right now, snoozing off like he always does when it rains.

I smirked as I remembered the day he wouldn't get up because it was raining. He hated rain. He really did.

Hehe.

.....

.....

Yes, at least, I'm finally having happy memories about him. I guess I can rest now.

.....

.....

Huh? Wait...! Who's that?

Someone just enetered the gates of Boot Hill, he's all wet, and he's...

in a cloak?!

.....

What the - - -?

He's bleeding!

.....

.....

.....

I'm at the man's side now. He's still concious, though he has a big gash on his shoulder.

I asked him if he was alright, and according to him, he was ok. I immediately took him to my house, since the innkeeper was out and so the inn was closed.

I let him sit on a chair, and saw him put down his ARM on the table.

I stared at his ARM, it looked very familiar.

.....

.....

...Very familiar.
