Say It Again

18 | Senior | The name's Shenzi, and you do not want to piss me off. That means you don't mess with my family, and you don't mess with my friends. We should get along fine, but this school has proven me wrong before. And bitches, keep your hands off my man.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[flitnfly]

Shenzi….

[the-selfish-one]

Hey Flit. Come to say goodbye?

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

I’m sorry to hear that. [smiles] You keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better. [hugs back] You had better be. I don’t want to hear news of you getting in a sticky situation or anything. I am, and will be.

[the-selfish-one]

[laughs] Don't worry, I already promised Hades I'd behave. Maybe we'll get in touch later.

Final Goodbyes: Letter 2

Dear Fawn,

My best friend through everything. I'm so lucky to call you even a friend, and I'm going to miss you dearly. I'm leaving DP, but I'm happy. Don't worry about me or about us. I'll never forget you, and I hope you'll never forget me. I don't know where I'm going yet or anything, really, but I know I'm not coming back.

I hope things work out for you. Remember I'll always care and I'm never more than a phone call away.

Love Always, Shenzi.

Final Goodbyes: Letter 1

Dear Champ,

I wish I could have found you before I left, and I know this is probably one of the worst ways to do this, but I'm leaving. For good this time. You will always be my best friend, be my rock, and I'll always love you like a brother. You always were my favorite brother, but don't ever tell anyone else I said that. I'd be hunted down and killed.

I want you to know I'll always be there for you and Janey and little Ali. No matter what, no matter how far I am from you, I'll always love you and care for you all.

Thank you for always being there for me, and always putting up with my crap. I don't know what else to say to you. I'm sorry for leaving like this, and I really am shit at goodbyes, but I love you, and I won't ever be too far. I know you and Janey will live a happy life, just don't forget me. And tell Mom I love her too.

Love Shenzi

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

Depends on who tried, I guess. But since you’re so set in your ways, I take it you don’t think that who would try. Or you don’t want them to. [shakes her head, smiling a little] I’ll probably find plenty of people to mess with, it just won’t be the same. [studies her for a moment] Believe it or not, I’m gonna miss you too. It’s gonna be weird not having you around.

[the-selfish-one]

Nope. The one person who could make me stay won't even try. [shrugs] I know. Because I'll always be your favorite. [smiles and hugs her briefly] I'll be alright. Don't worry at all. And be happy with Hades.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[poor-sweetchild]

I’ll miss yah too, an’ if yah evea’ need me… for anythin’ jus’ call me. I will be there for yah, alright?

[the-selfish-one]

I know...thanks. Um, have a good life and all that. Hope everything works out. Yup. Goodbye, Jet. [takes a few steps back] I love you.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

I wish you didn’t have to do whatever this was. And if someone knew a way to stop it, then hopefully they step up. [rolls her eyes but is totally just downplaying how much that is true] Yea, maybe a little. I mean, who else am I going to pick on?

[the-selfish-one]

It wouldn't stop me, and you know it. I'm stubborn. [crosses her arms and chuckles softly] Oh please, you'll find someone new to mess with. [smiles softly] I'm going to miss you, Miss Trish. You were like a parent to me most of the time I've been here.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[isnt-itjustpeachy]

I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully it isn’t worse at home since I know your dad can be a pain. Just promise me to not do anything ridiculously dumb, kay? [shakes his head] I’m pretty sure you are the only that can get under my skin from time to time so no they won’t be as good. Should mean me a good thing for me but I had sort of got used to a blonde.

[the-selfish-one]

I don't know if I'm going home...we'll see where the roads take me. I promise to use my common sense and not be too stupid. [chuckles] Then I guess you'll just have to remember me since I'm so irreplaceable. [smiles and nudges his shoulder] I better still get an invitation to your wedding. I don't care how, or even if I'll be able to go, but I better get one.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

I think you severely underestimate the impact you have on people to think you’ll leave and the ones that love you will be completely okay. [sighs] But if it’s what you have to do, then do it. If it’s something that you’re doing for a completely bizarre reason - then I can’t say I condone that.

[the-selfish-one]

Yeah, I do have to do this. They might not be okay right away, but they will be eventually. [smiles a bit] Come on, Trishykins. Just say it. You're going to miss me just as much as I'm going to miss you.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[poor-sweetchild]

Oh… an’ where yah goin’ tah?

[the-selfish-one]

No idea...but it'll work out. Somehow. I'll miss you, Jet.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[isnt-itjustpeachy]

Well I hope it’s what you really want. [looks down] I’ll actually miss you, Shenz. Now who will pester me for no damn reason?

[the-selfish-one]

It is...it hurts too much to stay. But don't worry, I'll be fine. [smiles sadly] I'll miss you, too. I'm sure some other idiot will follow behind. Won't be as good as me though.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[somepeople-use-their-imaginatio]

Will do! You stay out of trouble as well. I only want to hear good things! 

[the-selfish-one]

Yeah, no promises, but I'll try.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

I’m sorry you feel that way, but I can’t help but be incredibly confused. Don’t like all seventeen of your siblings go here?

[the-selfish-one]

Yes, and they'll all be fine. They have friends, loved ones, family. They're going to be peachy without me.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[somepeople-use-their-imaginatio]

I know I don’t know you too well, but I know you will do more than that. 

[the-selfish-one]

I'm glad you have faith in me. I'll figure something out. Don't be stupid while you're here, alright? Stay away from drugs and all that shit.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[isnt-itjustpeachy]

You figure? Did something go wrong or is this just something you have been thinking about for awhile?

[the-selfish-one]

I've been debating...I just don't have a reason to stay anymore.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[ohlook-youreheretoo-blog]

A goodbye? When did this happen?

[the-selfish-one]

I just figured it was time for me to leave.

[the-selfish-one]

So...anyone feel like a hug?

[somepeople-use-their-imaginatio]

I see. So what are you going to do?

[the-selfish-one]

I don't know yet. Maybe I'll run away to a circus or something.
