[ Ooc — These are the few other letters Arlo wrote before he passed away. But before that I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who were apart of my experience with creating Arlo. Arlo’s story is something that many people go through in life, some of the happiest people are truly the saddest. I’ve learned that time after time and wanted to created a plot like that to show those who may have been around for his plot that some people live life suffering in silence. And I wish that weren’t the truth, but it is. ]
Firstly, I’d like to thank you. You were an amazing part of my life. I want so badly to say you made me happy. I wanted to say that in every letter I have written so far. But something in my head has stopped every great thing in life from having that power. And that isn’t your fault. That isn’t anyone’s fault. I know that had I been made a different way you all would have made me happy. One thing’s for sure, though, you have made me feel loved. And I thank you from the deepest, purest part of my heart for that. I hope the remainder of your life is filled with high moments on hills, with great memories in diners. I hope you find a soulmate, Eliza. Someone who will treat you better than you’ve ever known, someone who will smoke with you all day and go on swisher runs with you at the middle of the night.
I’m sorry it has to be this way. I’ve never wanted to cause you pain and i’m sorry if this does.
I love you, sister soulmate.
Often times I see the same sadness lurking behind your eyes. I see it, Cooper. I know its there. Don’t run from the problems. Deal with them. I can promise you running will only make things worse. I know now that it is okay to be sad. It isn’t something you should hide, something you should try to trick your way out of. I hope you nothing more than extreme happiness. You deserve happiness, Cooper.
And maybe i’m wrong. Maybe there is no sadness behind your eyes. Hopefully im wrong, but if not, don’t try to bury it. You’ll end up being the one in the dirt.
Don’t be sad because of this. I’m okay now, i’m where I’m meant to be. I’m not suffering anymore. The sadness is gone.
Don’t let my resting be your sadness.
You probably weren’t expecting a letter, which makes sense. But before my time is up I want you to know a few things.
It was never because i shipped Cabbie.
It was because that day on that bench when you told me how you had hurt both Abbie and Harley. After that I had tried my hardest to protect Abbie from you. Abbie gives. She gives and she gives and then what she gets back is always something that hurts her. I didn’t want you to hurt her again but Abbie being with you was never my choice. And that’s the thing about Abbie, She does what people ask her to. Whether that be because of the pureness in her heart or the fear that was created when she was a child. She does it. I’ve seen it many times and I didnt want to be apart of that. I have no right to make her choices, no one aside from herself does. I would never ask her to not be with who she wanted to be with though. And so I went about it a different way. “Hardcore Cabbie shipper, am I right?”
I just want you to know it was never that I thought Cooley was a better man than you are, or Cooley could do better than you could. It was my wrong way of protecting Abbie.
But I know now that you truly do love Abbie. I know you don’t intentionally hurt her.
And I know I have no right to ask, but please, take care of her. Please don’t let anything happen to her.
You two could have the perfect family. You guys have the perfect family. I know the loss of your other child hurts, trust me, I know. But don’t let that pain you and Abbie feel hurt Xavier. Give him the good life him and his brother both deserved.
Take care, Major, and put the knives down.
[ This has been an amazing journey, Arlos story is one i’ll always remember. ]
