So Ladies and Gentleman, we have come to the end of our short ride, sorry the final chapters a little sad but I tend to be kind of a tragic writer. Anyway, thank you all for reviewing and enjoy the end.

5. Forget-Me-Not

Nami sat on the bridge over the stream at the bottom of her garden. Her legs were dangling over the side as her eyes hovered over the glassy water. It was over a week since she had left Forget-me-not valley, it was true, she would never forget it. In fact it haunted her every dream, it even lingered in her waking world. True, she was home, accepted into her family's arms and everything was good again, or as good as it ever could be. But she missed the valley terribly, it was the first place she'd ever missed.

But more than the valley, she missed Jack and she'd missed her opportunity. So she sat with the yellowy paper on her lap and a black ink pen in her hand. She slipped onto the bridge, her feet landing safely down with a thud. She lay down on the floor and began to write.

-In Forget-me-not valley-

Jack's heart ached, Nami had been gone for two weeks, and he missed her. She'd never been open with him, but he still loved her. She'd cast her strange spell upon him and now he was cursed, cursed to miss her forever. He patted his adorable puppy on the head and walked over to his mailbox. He reached his hand in, expecting to find nothing as usual, no one ever mailed him. He was surprised to find a small white envelope.

He sat down on his bed and opened up the letter. The writing was delicate and squiggly, but easily legible. He smiled when he saw the name at the bottom, Nami... So he began to read:

Dear Jack,

If I said that I hoped you haven't missed me, or even thought about me since I've been gone I'd be lying. I want you to have missed me, to have suffered like I have, because truth be told, I've missed you. I've missed that dumb little valley where the wind howls too loudly and it's too quiet at night. I've missed everything.

I decided to write this letter because... because I could never say these things out loud. I could never tell you how I really felt, and it's just stupid to write a letter to your next-door neighbour! So now, from my home far away, I can finally tell you how I really feel.

First, I want to say how sorry I am, for everything. For all the times I snapped at you, for all the times I didn't apologise, for all the pain I must have put you through. So there it is, "I'm sorry", I couldn't say it, so I'm writing it now.

Secondly, I forgive you. I know, how stupid does that sound, what would you have to apologise for? You've been perfect. So I suppose I'm not making you apologise for anything in the past, but in the future, you may feel guilty about things. So I want you to know "I forgive you", because you're going to move on and have a new life that I won't be a part of, and that's okay. In fact that's good, I hope I can do the same.

Thirdly, I want to tell you that I love you. I really did want to marry you, I swear! But I just couldn't tell you, because that's just not me. I've never been able to say the things I've wanted to, but it doesn't make how I feel any less true. I should have told you before, but I'm saying it now. "I love you", I do, so much, if I had a second chance I would have told you from the beginning.

Lastly I want to say "goodbye", because whether you've realised it or not, this really is it. If I can't tell you what I want to say, then we were never going anywhere. So, this is for the best I guess, move on, get married have kids. Maybe we'll meet again, maybe we won't, but it doesn't matter. If we do ever meet again we won't be the same people, so what I feel now won't matter, maybe then we could be friends.

Forget-me-not,

Nami.

Jack felt the tears trickle down his cheeks, watching as they splattered onto the letter which he gripped tightly in his hand. He then silently vowed to the godly powers that watched over the valley that wherever Nami was, no matter how far away, he would find her.
