A Letter From Daniel 2

Dear Jack

I'm sitting here writing this with Janet less than ten feet away, which might not be such a bright idea. She already knows how I feel about you, so I don't see the point in hiding it from her. Although maybe you'd rather I did, but oh well, it's too late now I guess.

You've got so many machines around you, I swear I didn't know this many medical machines even existed. You're so pale, this is all my fault I know it. Sam gave you the letter, that damn letter I should never have written it. I was being a selfish git, like always.

I guess by now you already know what has happened the past few weeks. What happened on that planet, the body was a clone, a damn clone, good one granted, but it wasn't me, and you all believed it was. I don't blame you, not really, I just wish...I don't know what I wish, all I know is that if the Tok'ra hadn't come along when they did I'd be dead right now. I almost wish I was, my selfish streak again I guess.

I'm leaving Jack, well actually by the time your reading this I'll have already left. I can't stay here to see the hatred on your face when you wake up, and you will wake up. According to Janet if the bullet had been an inch or so to the left you'd be dead, but thankfully you were startled by something.

I should say unfortunately cause the official report says you were cleaning your gun, you were startled, and it went off. We know better don't we? Sam, Teal'c, Janet, and even Hammond know the truth, but no one else ever will.

I wish I could stay to see your eyes once more, but I can't because if I do I'll see you hating me and I can't stand to see that, I have to go now, everyone's waiting in the gate room.

I'm going back to Abydos Jack, Please don't follow me or try to contact me, I know I don't deserve anything from you but I just have to ask this one last thing. Please Jack you were my friend once I know, if that still means anything to you just let me live in peace, please just let me carry on pretending we still friends at least.

Maybe someday you'll be able to forgive me Jack, maybe, if that day ever comes you could let me know, maybe we could even possibly be friends again, I don't really believe it will ever happen but just in case.

You'll always be my best friend Jack.
Love Always
Daniel
