Disclaimer: I asked Santa at the mall for Merry and Pippin for Christmas but then the security guards came and well long story short I own nothing
In this version Pippin leaves. Ch.1 is Similar but not TOTALLY the same as in version 1. The reader should note that this is version 2 of an eventually 4 version story. You don't have to read version 1 to understand, they are different, but I hope you'll check it out :)
My dearest Merry,
I love you. I love you so much Merry. More than I ever thought I could love anyone, or anything.
But I can't tell you. I could never tell you.
I couldn't tell you because of what you would do, and think. I know you would never hate me but you would never love me either. And you knowing would have changed things between us.
I couldn't tell you because of other people. I would have been rejected by my family. Its unnatural to love a man, and it doesn't help that we're related. They would have hated me.
I couldn't tell you because I was scared. Scared of your rejection. Scared of the pain it would cost me.
I couldn't tell you that I love simply because I do love you. And telling you would only cause pain. I lived a lie for a long time. Hiding my feelings. Being a best friend. Being miserable so you could be happy. At least this way I could still be near you. I could still make sure you were safe, and happy, and had everything you wanted.
But I can't take it anymore. I don't know when you'll find this, but it will be too late. So goodbye Merry. Now you know. I love you Merry. So I hope you understand.
Love always and forever
Your Pip.
Pippin read and reread the letter. Then he carefully folded it into thirds and placed it in the top desk drawer. He stood, picked up a bag, and left.
PLEASE REVIEW!
