I joined in their hug. I wished that I could do something for Lucy and Ed to make them feel better but I couldn't even make myself feel better.

"You don't have emotional issues," I told her.

I couldn't talk because I was crying so hard so I just nodded.

I broke away from the hug with Lil and Lucy and went to go give Edmund a hug seeing as he just lost his brother, too.

Ed looked at her. "Im sorry you have to see me like this. It's just...I loved him so much. I didn't show it enough."

"I'm sure he knows how much you loved him," I said gently.

He buried his face in his hands.

I gave him a hug to try and comfort him.

I looked Lil in the face for the first time since...it happened. It was in that instant that I remembered the letter.

I gave Lucy a tiny, forced smile. I wanted to collapse right there but it must've been so much worse for her and she was being a hell of a lot stronger than me.

"I need to give you something," I said quietly, averting my gaze so I wouldn't burst into tears.

"What?" I asked quietly and slightly confused.

"Pe- he," I began. I couldn't say his name yet. It hurt too much. "He wanted me to give this to you," I finished. My hands were shaking but I reached into my quiver and pulled out the little envelope.

I took the paper that Lucy held out to me. I only glanced at how he'd adressed it before my eyes began to blur with tears. I blinked rapidly to get rid of the tears and I began to read it, tears starting to form again.

I looked down at what it said since I hadn't gotten to read it when he gave it to me. It said:
My Dearest Lil,
I think you know the circumstances under which you will be recieving this letter. Im sorry you have to see me all...dead and everything. It can't really help what you think of me. Anyway, I know you probably don't care too much about me and maybe it's better that I'm gone as you read this because I couldn't bear to get rejected face to face, but I couldn't leave this earth without telling you one way or another how I feel. Lil, from the first time I saw you I thought you were beautiful. As I got to know you even more, I realized that you're beautiful on the inside, too. Whatever man has the privledge of receiving your love has to know he's the luckiest man in the world. I know this won't mean much, when I'm gone, but Lil I love you. I hope you won't forget me as you continue on with your life, because whatever happens after I'm gone, I know I can't forget you. I'm sorry for everything.
Love always,
Your Peter
