A/N. I was bored one day and just wrote this down. It's nothing great or anything, just a short snippet. My best friend and I do this thing where we'll start with a random sentence and write something from it. I started this one and it turned into a Tessa oneshot completely by accident.
Was this what it felt like, I wondered, to lose everything? To give everything up? To become no one?
When I watched my family pass away, I felt like I wanted to follow. But I couldn't, I was stuck here. I could not leave. I had to watch while everyone else that I loved left me forever. Every friend I had – excluding one – had died but I was still here. I would always be here.
First my friends and my love had passed on, then my children. I watched from a distance after a while to lessen the pain but it still cut my heart.
My one friend left comforted me for he understood, he had lost people for longer than he could recall. He said it got easier but I could not see how. Maybe he was right, maybe it would, but for now, I must suffer in silence.
Watching everyone I love leave and wishing I could join them.
