Dark alley ways, what looked like drug deals going on in the middle of the street and women being abused was what I found when I looked out the window. “We’re here.”, the driver said, which froze me. There’s no way Elliot lives here…Does he? I asked myself. I paid the driver and took my leave. I entered the apartment building with a loud BANG of the door closing behind me making me jump in shock like a scared kitten. With every step on the stairs there was a creak or a squeak, feeling like the whole staircase was going to collapse under me if I made any sudden movements. When I finally got to Elliot's apartment door I noticed it was unlocked, so I anxiously entered the apartment. It was just like Elliot had described it in his letters, run down, old, leaks and cracks everywhere you look. I finally understood why he hated the place so much. I looked around the room until I saw a letter on the desk with my name on it. Cautiously, I opened it.
‘ Dear my beloved Christopher,
If you are seeing this, it means that you didn’t listen to me when I told you not to try to stop me and that you would be too late anyways. Also, it means that you are the first person to realise that I’m gone and have cared enough to try to look for me. Even though I would never wish for you to see what you're about to see, I hope that you being here, seeing where I live and the type of environment it is will help you realise and understand why I took my miserable life. I’m sorry for being so selfish, I truly am, but I just couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted to be happy and free and this was the only way to get that. I hope you can forgive me one day and be able to live your own life being happy, because that is my final wish in life, for you to be happy. Even though I will be physically gone I will always be with you in your heart, looking down on you, guiding you through a joyous life. Now for the actual final time, goodbye my beloved Christoper, I love you and always will for all of eternity.
Eternal Love, Elliot ’
As I read Elliots words I noticed drops of tears landing on the letter. Anxiously trying to find Elliot I search the whole apartment. Suddenly, I heard a noise that came from the bedroom so I ran there as fast as I could and swung the door open and to my surprise I saw him lying there.
“ELLIOT!!!” I screamed. The person lying there rose up from shock when I called out their name. His face was so surprised that his mouth was wide open and started to have tears falling down his face. Ecstatic that he was alive I ran to him on the bed and hugged him so tight that I never wanted to let go. I was so relieved and happy that I too started crying.
“Elliot! You idiot! How could you think I would ever let you die after you just confessed to me and never even let me respond! I LOVE YOU! I can’t explain it but whenever I think of you I become so happy and writing to you is always the highlight of my day. I would always think that I couldn’t wait to finally see you one day in person and had already planned our first meeting. It was supposed to be romantic and special but when I got your letter saying you were going to die my heart stopped as I thought I would never get to have that first romantic meet with you, and I definitely don’t want our first meeting to be our last. So please don’t do this. Because if you truly do love me like I love you then you will stay with me. So please don’t leave me, I need you!” I did it... I told Elliot how I feel, what is he going to say.
“Okay, I will stay with you Christopher. I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry that you went through all of this because of me. I didn’t know that you cared about me this much. I hope you can forgive me one day.” Elliot pleaded. Shocked by the response I hugged Elliot tighter and said “Of course I forgive you, you idiot.”
Being with Elliot like this, hugging him, was like a dream come true. I didn’t want it to end. But alas, all good things must come to an end. CRASH! The front door came down followed by a swarm of policemen fully armed. “Elliot Spencer! You are under arrest for suspicion of selling illegal drugs, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Come forward quietly or we will use force.” Exclaimed an officer in the front. “Huh???” I questioned confusingly.
