Gaining An Ally

Emily

I paced in front of the bed, angry, my hands flailing around, not understanding any of the words that I was muttering. How dare he do this to me? The first time he had told me to move on, it had hurt. I had taken his words at face value and gone about my life as if those two years had never happened. I hadn’t stopped to analyze that I might not be over him, and now it was going to explode in my face. Turning around at the edge of the bed, I trotted to the other side, still angry.

“Why wasn’t he just honest with me?” I muttered to the empty room, raising my arms above my head. “What would you have even done?” I answered myself, officially losing it. I tried to remember everything all at once, but my head pounded. A low whine escaped into the silence of the room as I remembered my favorite letter of his.

My Emily,

I am done, Em.

They served my papers today, so it’s official. They’ll discharge me in six months, and then I’ll be free. I am not sure how to feel about that. All I know is that I wanted to tell you immediately. I scribbled this as quickly as I could. Don’t worry if you don’t hear from me. They’ll drill me harder until they kick me out to make sure they get their money’s worth. Please get me through this because it will be the longest six months…ever.

-Tyler

I sat on the floor in front of the bed and pulled my knees up to my chest. I let my head rest against the edge of the bed with my eyes closed, trying to rub the migraine away. If Tyler had told me that our relationship had ended over money, I would have never believed him then. However, I could see it all falling apart clearly now, in a fiery blaze with nothing to save it. I was used to using my family’s money then. I wouldn't make my own until I started working for Nelson's, but Tyler would never have accepted a handout.

I thought about Christopher, and my nose instantly crinkled. My parents were happy with each other. They just weren’t necessarily happy being parents. If I had agreed to the marriage, Christopher would have taken everything from me. My money, my family’s company, and even my soul, without so much as a thank you, just an expectation. A tear streamed down my face. Tyler had let me go and sacrificed himself. Could I forgive him?

As a few pieces of folded paper slid under the door, another tear streamed down my cheek. I jumped up from the floor and opened the door, but he was gone.

Picking up the sheets of paper, I flipped them around in my hand, not sure what I was looking at. There was a new piece of paper that was wrapped around several yellow pages. They looked like they were older, and the creases weren’t crisp, as if they been read more than once.
