Chapter 11 - The Letter

I'm sorry, sorry for all of the pain I've caused you. If I could, I would try to make things right, but that's not how time travel works. (I know that didn't make any sense, so just keep reading, I will explain). If you're reading this, it means that Isabelle and I have left to find a life for ourselves. I am sorry once again for what that means for our family. But if you are reading this and what I said is true, then I guess you have found the correct letter. You see, I actually wrote this letter two weeks ago, today. But you may have already noticed that based on the time signature in the top right corner. Now, back to the whole-time travel thing. (I hope you can follow and understand what I am saying. If there is one thing that mom and dad wouldn't have believed I said is the time travel mart (that is, if I actually told them). And yes, I am talking about Mom and Dad in the third person, which means that the person reading this must be one of my siblings. How did I know this? Well, to be honest, I do know this, that's because I am watching you, Ben. You are reading this letter to my family, and by the look of surprise on your face, you are definitely very confused. As you are trying to figure out what is going on, you tell Ria, and now she joins you as both of you read this letter. The reason I know this is because my past self from two weeks ago is watching what happens after I (meaning the "future" self who ran away with Beth) left. You will try to catch me, but I'm already gone, gone to write this new information in the letter so that everything that goes on related to this makes as much sense as physically possible. In fact, you may notice my past self traveling back and forth from two weeks ago to now, looking over your shoulder, reading along with you as well. Ria is just left to comprehend everything that I have written so far. And now Jaden is reading with you. So, you may be wondering how the letter applies, given that different people read this. So, to be honest (once again), the so-called past self from two weeks ago is actually a time remnant of the future me who is probably halfway to Fork River. So, if you were to give this letter to anyone else, I (the past self) would keep going back and forth observing the future and changing the words. And for the record, I technically would keep doing this for the rest of my life. If this doesn't make sense, get Ria to explain it to you. If that doesn't work, go get the diagram in the envelope that you forgot, though you probably didn't forget it. I (the time remnant) will slip it (the diagram) into the empty envelope. So just get Ria to explain the diagram to you. Jaden just left, and you may notice all the blue flashes of me going back and forth to the future and back to the past. The letter is almost done; I come back to the future and look at my big brother. You stop reading and look up from the letter. I say I am deeply sorry for all the pain I caused, but it was the only way. You watch me give a quick smile and then sign off just before I vanish back to the past, and wait till you finish the letter so I will be ready to alter the writing for whoever you give the letter to next. I love my whole family, and trust that you know I am safe.
