Chapter 17: Dom's Letter
Dom opened the envelope and took out the letter. In the envelope his saw the claddagh ring he gave Allyson. He looked at the ring. He held the ring tight in his hand as he read the letter. The letter said:
Dear Dom,
I'm sorry for what I'm about to do. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to cause you any problems. I know you are going to hate me when you find out what I did when you get this letter, but it is for the best; for everyone and you, even me. I just want you to know that I still love you and I always will, but you love someone else. This is why I enclosed the promise ring you gave me in here to give it to Letty. If you think I will never come back, well you're wrong. I don't know when I will be back. It depends how long it takes me to figure things out. I don't know where I'm goin' but when I find out I'll call you, so don't worry.
It's weird how things turned out, you know. Most of the time it's for the better. Well, I have no idea what more to write, but what I have stated. Oh, and please don't blame yourself for me leaving, because it wasn't. I had to leave. I need to find who I really am inside. I need you to understand that. Just remember I still and always love you even though you don't love me the same.
Love,
Your Daredevil
P.S. Please forgive me. And I will keep contact. That's a promise.
Dom whipped away a tear from his cheek and looked at the door. He couldn't believe that she would leave again. He looked at the ring in his hand and then put it on his dresser. He folded up the letter and stuffed it in the envelope. He placed the envelope on his dresser and laid down on his bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking about Allyson.
