Letters
Dear Karen,
I'm so sorry about yesterday, the house looks like a train wreck. But I would mostly like to apologize about getting drunk... I'm a terrible husband and father, I know. But that doesn't mean I don't love you. I love you and Emma more than anyone in this world. If something bad would to ever happen to both of you, life won't ever be the same for me. That's the first thing I wanted to write to you.
And you're probably wondering where I am right now. I'm afraid I can't tell you that because you won't believe what just happened to me. No one will. But I will like to tell you that I'm in safe hands. I will be home soon, you'll just have to wait for a while. I promise. Tell Emma daddy loves her with all his heart. I love you Karen and I hope you will understand.
Pete
Karen's POV
My eyes started to water. I couldn't believe what I just read. Oh Pete, I love you too... I wish he was here so he knows I forgive him.
I looked at the floor and saw another letter.
"Another letter?" I asked to myself.
I read the other letter and it turned out to be Pete's letter to his band mates.
Pete's POV
Me and the Godfather were already flying over London to Tommy's World. I was thinking about life. What's going to happen if I stayed an egg forever? My family? The Who? I kept getting worried since I care about them so much.
The Godfather was looking at me and he knew I was worried.
"Hey, everything's going to be okay... Don't worry. Just think happy thoughts. That's what I do when I'm upset."
I looked at him and smiled.
"Thanks, Godfather. You are not as annoying as I thought you were before, you are actually a wise guy."
I heard him chuckle.
"Thanks, Pete. Your nose isn't actually big... IT'S HUGE!"
We both started cracking up.
Karen's POV
I decided to give the letter to the lads... wherever they are.
I walked to the Daltrey's, hopefully they were there. I brought Emma with me on a stroller, she reminded me of Pete. Probably because of their similar eyes and mouth. Oh Pete... how I miss him already.
I rang the doorbell and Roger's girlfriend, Heather, opened the door.
"Hey Karen! What brings you here?" She said in a soft voice, smiling.
"Hello Heather, umm I'm looking for Roger, Pete gave him and his band mates a letter..."
She looked at the letter in my hand.
"What happened? Do you know what it says?"
"Pete gave me a letter too, saying that he's gone somewhere but will be returning soon, he just doesn't know when..."
Her eyes were full of sorrow. "I'm so sorry Karen, hopefully he will return." She gave me a hug.
Heather is so kind and sweet, Roger chose the right woman... I hope they get married.
"Roger is at Keith's house and so is John. I think now is a good time to give them that letter since the 3 of them are together."
"Thank you so much!" I gave her another hug.
"I can drive you there, Keith's house is far from here." She walked me and Emma to her car.
I sat in the front seat with Heather, she was driving. Emma was in the back, luckily she was asleep.
Then, Heather started the car and we were off to see 3/4 of The Who!
We arrived at Keith's house.
Heather knocked on the door and we heard someone say "I got it!"
It was Roger. He gave us a confused look.
"Heather? Karen? What are you two doing here?" He then looked down at the stroller.
"Oh and hello Emma!"
"I have something to show you and the boys... It's a letter from Pete."
Roger's face got serious.
"We've called Pete 6 times, we even called his mum to see if he was there! We wanted to invite him here... where is he?"
I gave him the letter. "Just read this, tell Keith and John to come over too."
"Keith! John! Get o'er here!" Roger yelled across the room.
"Oye!"
We heard footsteps coming. Keith and John were running and pushing each other like they were little children!
"Oh! Hello ladies! Nice to see ya here!" Keith said with a wide smile. Seconds later, his smile started to fade away when he saw all of our faces, serious.
"It's a letter from Pete, I'll read it so everyone can hear." Roger began to read the letter.
Dear Lads,
I'm sorry for destroying the Christmas party, I was drunk and I didn't mean all the things I did. Oh and Keith, I would like to apologize for throwing an egg at your face, it was an accident.
"Apology accepted!" Keith interrupted, this making Emma giggle.
"Shhhh!"
"Sorry... continue Rog!" Keith whispered.
But the main reason I wanted to write this letter is because I wanted to inform all of you that I've left London to somewhere far away for some odd reason. I can't tell you guys the reason because you guys won't believe me, nobody will because it's impossible. But this doesn't mean I'm gone forever. I will return soon but I'm not sure when. Lads, just because I'm gone doesn't mean that The Who can't go on. Go on without me, do it for the fans, do it for me. Just because I'm the songwriter of the band doesn't mean you guys can't do something. I believe in you all; Roger, John, and Keith.
I hope you will all understand. You guys are like my brothers, and I care for you guys a lot.
Pete
The room went silent.
Roger's POV
I didn't know what to say. I was speechless after reading that and by the looks of everyone's face, they were too.
John's POV
Man, that was really upsetting, I almost cried. Karen and Heather were crying... so was Keith.
I gave Keith a hug since he's my best pal. "Thanks, John" he said crying on my shoulder. I patted his back.
I'm really gonna miss that lovable big nosed genius.
Keith's POV
Listening to all of this really did made me cry. It was touching when he said that we're like brothers and that he cares a lot about us. I do too.
Gosh, I wish I knew the reason he left... I would've believed him.
Karen's POV
It was really quiet after Roger read the letter. Pete does have a way with words, romantically and emotionally.
"Thank you for giving us this letter Karen, it was better for us to know now then sooner." John smiled at me.
"No problem. I should get going, it was nice seeing you all today. I wish you all good luck."
I waved them all goodbye and walked outside with Heather and Emma to the car.
We arrived at Heather's house.
"Thank you Heather, you helped so much today."
"You're welcome Karen, that is what friends do for each other."
I smiled widely at her. I can't believe she called me her friend. I don't usually make a lot of friends, but now I did.
We said our goodbyes and then I walked along the long and winding road with Emma.
Jesus Christ. She really looks A LOT like her father, Pete Townshend. The love of my life.
I wonder if he's doing okay.
