To Be Young and In Love

by Izzy9611

This story takes place after the RTA finale (So Dear to My Heart). Many problems can arise when being young and in love, but with the start of the war there are many problems added to that. This story is one way Felix and Izzy could have ended up after Road to Avonlea ended. I took some creative liberty for the sake of the story. Not everything is historically accurate.

14. We Will Come Home

Dear Father Muriel, Mr. King, Mrs. King, Miss King, Mrs. Lynde, Davy, Dora, Felicity, Gus, Cecily, & Daniel,

I am sure that you all must be very confused right now (to why I have addressed everyone in the same letter). This letter is addressed to my house, so, Father, Muriel, do not read the letter until everyone is with you.

First, I must apologize. I was supposed to be taking a trip to Montreal … Well, I didn't. Instead, I joined the Red Cross. Father, before you go contacting all of your old colleagues, remember that there is nothing that you can do. By now, I am already somewhere in Europe. I am also 18. Legally, there is nothing you can do.

I am sure that you all want to know my reasons. Well … it is Felix. The day I found out he was MIA I began to plan all of this out. I knew that I couldn't tell you because all of you would try to stop me. I know that my reasons may sound ridiculous to all of you, but they make perfect sense to me. I intend to find Felix. I know that he is alive, I just know it. I will find him and bring him home even if it takes the rest of my life. I am not going to ask any of you not to worry because I know that you will. If I am being honest, I am worried too. Instead, I ask that you pray for Felix and myself.

I love you all so, so much, and I promise to continue to write to all of you. I don't know how long I will be gone, but I do know that we will come home. Not one of us, both of us. That is my promise to all of you.

Love,

Izzy
