Summary: Shalimar finds a letter in her room, one of her teammates has had enough of their life. Can Shalimar stop them from doing something irreversible?
A.N.: The 'theme'-song of this "Colorblind" from the Counting Crows. I love it and think it makes this story that much sadder. Download and listen to it while reading this. Really, you should. The lyrics are printed as #...# Also, this thing is short, as in 2:27 A.M. short. ;)
Title: The letter
Shalimar went to her room laughing. Today was hilarious, they had a food fight during dinner and she was covered in sauce. She wasn't the worst victim though, she'd teamed up with Emma against Brennan and Jesse and they got hold of the ketchup and whipped cream. They sprayed it in the boys' pants clothes everything. So after the clean-up Shalimar went to shower and decided to get some rest.
She lifted her blankets and found a folded piece of paper. She opened it, it was a letter. #I am colorblind. Coffee black and egg white.#
It said:
Dear Shalimar,
You must be wondering what this is all about. Today was fabulous. It made me realize that I'm not worthy of your company.
I wanted to tell you that I'm gonna leave you, all of you.
#Pull me out from inside#
I also wanted to tell you how I felt. I love you Shalimar and the thought of me never having you is unbearable. You gave your heart to someone else, but mine will always belong to you, remember that.
#I am ready. I am fine#
I fed up with living this way, in loneliness, so I guess this is my way of saying farewell. Don't mourn, you've given me my greatest years.
Love you always,
...........
Shalimar knew what this meant, so she sped out of her room. "Adam! Adam!" she screamed hysterically.
"Shalimar? What's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Read this and get the others!" Adam did what was asked of him.
"Oh my God, we need to go NOW!" The four went to the Double Helix to save their teammate, their friend, their sibling. Shalimar knew exactly where to go. It was one of the many things she and the writer had in common, their favorite spot. The highest in the city...
#I am covered in skin. No one gets to come in.#
And sure enough, they saw a figure on the edge of the building, looking down, towards its death. They landed on the roof and Shalimar was the first one to get out and the only one who dared to approach the person.
#Pull me out from inside. I am folded and unfolded and unfolding.#
"Why are you doing this?"
"Shalimar? What are you doing here? How did you..."
"You once told me remember." Shalimar said with a soft smile and decided to try again "Why are you doing this?"
#I am colorblind.#
"You read my letter right? You love him, not me. It's.. I-I can't take this life anymore." Shalimar could see her friend was fighting the tears.
"I have to do this." The person got on the ledge.
"Get off of there, you hear me GET OFF!"
#Coffee black and egg white#
"I'm sorry Shalimar, go now, he needs you."
#Pull me out from inside.#
"But I need you." "Hush, you don't have to do that. It's okay..."
#I am ready, I am ready, I am ready. I am fine.#
"..I am ready." With that her friend jumped.
"NO!!! EMMA!!!!" Shalimar screamed, without hesitation she dove of the ledge after her. One hand grabbing another ledge, the other grabbing Emma.
"Shalimar, let me go. I want to."
"No you don't! Besides *I* don't want you to." Shalimar looked up and saw Brennan, Jesse and Adam staring at them. "Don't just stand there! Get us out of here." And thus they returned to their Sanctuary in silence...
TBC..? Probably yeah.

Totally unworthy of believe? Yeah, guess so. Oh, btw, my apologies to people who know what it's like when somebody close to you commits suicide. I don't mean to write it off like something small. If you do feel offended, again my apologies. But if you are offended by the fact that it's Emma... Well bad luck kiddo!

P.S. Does somebody know how to print something italicized? I just can't figure out what's up with ff.net. And a second dumb question. What the bloody hell is 'angst' I tried to look it up but I can't seem to find it. Care to explain anyone?
