So this is my first fic. I'm super excited. Constructive comments are great and I would appreciate feedback. So anyway, here you go. I know most speech has "hi" but, this seemed...more...uh...interesting to me.

Bold- hero

italics- partner

regular- inner thoughts of the partner


Back off.

I won't.

Go away.

I can't.

Leave me.

Never.

Its was a commitment. You gave me your word and I went along with it. I always went along with it. I could only imagine the outcome if our friendship had never come to be. But...the end...is here.

Without you, I would be afraid. I would be alone. I would be weak.

But...you wouldn't...you couldn't. You had the light all along...you just had to find it.

You dusted away the years of hurt and cowardice and breathed new light into me...its not me. Its you, really it is.

Not true.

Then what is true?

Your bravery...and drive. Its an amazing thing to witness growth. I watched you grow, go from this scared child to a brave, confident explorer, ready to take on...everything...even the role of a leader.

But...

I'm...leaving...but you'll be okay. I know it. Make me proud?

Tears.

Don't go.

Make me proud?

Please!?

Don't make me beg. Make me proud.

I...

Do it

I can't! Not without you!

Then the team will die...and all that work to build it will be for nothing. You and I both know that you don't want that.

But...

You have to. I don't want to hear it. Move on and do it. I know you can. So...make me proud.

The lights blind me. I shut them tightly as tears run down my face. I...promise...I'll do it.

I will.


Like? Hate? It could be anyone...that's why I like it. It could be the end of any game...so I hope you all enjoyed, please review!
