But there is one thing she didn't know before she makes the fatal desicion. To someone I love, To my ever dearest partner, To my closest friend and To my big brother always, Mudler, The first words that you had ever first spoken to me was, "no one down here but the F.B.I.'s must unwanted." But you were never unwanted in my life Mulder. And now four years later, we have grown together so much in a way that I can not describe. I have become so close to you. You have acted like my big brother at times and other times you were just my closest friend. And in other ways you were my lover. I have told you this so many times Mulder but when I say it this time I could not say it with more certainty, You are the only one I trust. When I walked down to your apartment that day, there was only one thing on my mind. You couldn't be dead was all I thought. But when the police had asked me to identify the body that was lying on the floor of your apartment, I could not lie. Before my eyes was the one person in the world that I had loved and trusted more than anyone imaginable. And now, Mulder, I know why. There is no other reason that you would have possibly shot yourself. If I could go back to that day where we stood in the warehouse and I told you of my cancer, saying "They gave me this desiese to make you believe," which must have crushed your life, I would have taken it back. Mulder, I didn't mean to hurt you, but I needed to tell you the truth or you might have not believed me at all. Mulder, I love you. When I found that I had cancer what crossed my mind first was that I would die and leave you. The thought made my stomach knot and burn into a million peices. What I never thought could be imaginable was that you left me first and I don't understand how my life can go on. And now because of you, Mulder, I have decided to leave the F.B.I.I have decided to leave my family and friends. I have decided to leave the world. But not just that Mulder, I have decided to leave my life. And tonight is the night that I will join you in heaven where we are both destined to be forever. I love you Mulder and I want to be with you eternally. Goodbye and we will meet again. Love you always, Your partner, Dana Scully Minutes later Scully took in a deep breath and pleaced her pen down. She took out Mulder's picture. She had one picture of Mulder, which was one that she ahd gotten professionally. But it was good enough. She sat beside the couch. She was hungry. Ever since she hadbeen struck with the news of Mulder's death she had forbidden to eat. She kissed Mulder's picture gently and inside her mind she imagined his face, smiling and looking at her. He waved to her and said her name. He told her that it was okay and that he was still alive, she'd just have to hang on. But her eyes flashed open and she was once again in reality, where Fox Mulder really was dead. She looked at the picture, his soft eyes looked at her as if he was real. "I'm sorry Mulder. So sorry. But I will be with you again." she whispered quietly. She took the gun in her hand and pulled back the trigger. Her body fell to the ground souless. In one hand a picture of Mulder and in another a gun that was still smoking from the fire that had been shot. Hours later, Mulder walked down to Scully's apartment, #35. He was ready to tell her the truth. That this was all a fraud. It was a cover-up for Mulder. He knocked on the door, once then twice and he got no answer. He continued in and was amazed that Scully had left the door unlocked. His body felt weak when he saw on the ground the body of the person he had loved. He went over and began crying over her body frantically. His tears fell onto her. He touched her, she's so cold, he thought. He saw the picture Scully held in her hand and noticed the faint lip marks drawn on it. He was feeling dizzy, nautious and weak at the same time. He went over to the night stand where he read Scully's depressing letter. It was his fault, he thought. He then Took Scully's gun and wiped it off. He pulled his body down on top of Scullys and held her against his chest. Her blood, was soaking his shirt. He held the cold metal to his right temple. And began to pull the trigger. It felt like minutes before the crash went off and Fox Mulder was also dead.
