At some point in the day while the happy couple were out, Keirra had snuck in to retrieve her bag. She left a stack of letters on their kitchen counter.

The first one was labeled, Levi:

Levi,

You?re absolutely right, I?m a coward. I?m terrified every damn second of my life. Terrified I won?t be a good mother, terrified that I?ll start drinking again. Terrified I?ll be the same parent that my dad was. If I stay here without Gerry? I feel like that?ll happen, without a doubt. I want to drink so bad, Levi. If you haven?t torn this up yet, thank you. I hope that someday you can forgive me for taking off. And who knows? Maybe he?ll come back. But every second staying here without him is unlike any pain I?ve ever felt before.

I love you so much. You?re my brother, you will always be my brother?even if I?m a shit sister. I never deserved to have either of you in my life, and I?m so lucky I did. Hell, I never really deserved Gerry. He was such a good, honest person. It took him nineteen years to figure out how to get back home, Levi. I can?t wait here for nineteen years?and maybe he wanted to stay home. I was stupid for not going with him.

Anyways, this letter isn?t about him. It?s about you. I love you, and I?ve written down your number. I?ll be in touch at some point. Until then? Wish me luck out there.

Another was labeled, B-Dog:

Bee,

You were seriously the best friend I?ve ever had. I was lucky to even know you. I can?t be here right now, and I wish that it wasn?t the case because you guys are awesome. Always remember that you?re a Bee, no matter what anyone says. And if anyone gives you shit? Punch them twice, once for me. If you hate me for abandoning you, I understand?but promise you?ll take care of Levi; because you two deserve each other. You deserve to be happy, and nothing but.

I hope that we see each other again someday. I hope that I?m more mature, and an amazing mom. Because Quinn? I?m so scared. I?m scared to give birth, I?m scared of being the world?s worst mom? I?ve never been more scared in my life. That?s why I have to go, though. If I stay, I?ll depend on you guys forever, and you?ll resent me for it. I?ll probably start drinking, and I will have truly lost everything without thinking twice about it. I can?t lose you two that way. I have to do it on my own terms.

I have to go? and do this alone.

I love you. I love Levi, and you two better take care of each other and know every day just how lucky you are to have what you have.

Love you,
K-puff

Another was labeled, Boss:

Mark,

Hey, Gerry never came home. Hell, you never came home. Maybe you?re home to read this now. I had to get out of here. Take care of everyone, Mark. You were never anything but good to me. You know, aside from busting my cherry in a public bathroom. You probably could have done better with that. Or not at all, that would?ve been good, too. I?m kidding, trying to lighten the mood and all that jazz.

Anyways, I hope you find that someone special, and I hope they never leave you. Maybe I?ll be back. Maybe things will work out between you and Gwen. I think she has changed, honestly. Anyways, good luck with everything. I?ll be in touch eventually, and I might even come back to do a few jobs. Gerry might be back, and maybe I?ll have someone I don?t deserve again. Either way, I hope you find someone who deserves you.

Anyways, I?m getting emotional.. Stupid baby. I gotta stop this.

Love always,
Ko Ko

This particular letter was left in the penthouse for Gerry. Keirra had paid their rent six months in advance, and instructed the people who cleaned it out to keep the letter in the office if time ran out.

Gerry,

I don?t know if you?re ever coming back, and I don?t blame you if you don?t. The fact of the matter is, I never really treated you right. I was so god damn abusive, and I?m sure everyone thought you were stupid to be with me. I still don?t know why you fought so hard for me. I?ll never understand that. I?m not sure if you got stuck, or if you just got wise?but I want you to know, for the record, whatever the decision or lackthereof, I don?t hate you. I?ll never hate you, and I will take care of Nasya. I won?t let her disappear, and I?ll never disappear on her, and she will know exactly the kind of man her father was. If you?re reading this, I?m gone. I left my phone number on the inside of the envelope.

I didn?t treat you right. If you did decide to stay, I don?t blame you. I wasn?t home enough. I wasn?t a good wife. I never deserved you. Just know that I love you, Gerry. I love Nasya enough for the both of us. I couldn?t raise the baby here. Not without you. I hope you understand. I want to write more, but my heart is breaking with every word. I?ll never stop loving you.

I love you,
Keirra
