A/N Sooo this is a new story. (obviously) It's based off a character in an RP. Which is awesome and you should check it out! It's the top RP for the Hunger Games. Hard to miss :P Anyways, as always I love constructive criticism~ just don't be too mean. xD
Prologue
He's gone. I have to accept it, but my heart won't let me heal. Forever I'll be lost in my minds sea of torture. All the memories. All the laughter. All the emotion. Gone.
I'm told to bury the thoughts of him with this ring. This ring I've held close to me for so long. My finger feels naked without it. My insides feel empty. But this must be done.
A hole is dug. Perfect in size. Like a cradle for a baby it will keep the ring safe and sound but still I can't let go. My hand won't open. Almost with a mind of it's own.
Gently he takes my hand. He's touch gives me strength, but not enough. Not enough to commit this deed. To bury my everything.
Slowly my fingers uncurl. Slowly my mind comes back. Slowly I realize what I'm about to do. The ring slips. Falls into the darkness.
I stare. The green emerald reflects light back at me. It shimmers in the small sunshine behind me. A final goodbye.
For a moment I consider retrieving it. I'll take it and run away never looking back. Deep into a meadow I'll stay forever with the comfort of its metal against my skin.
I know I can't. He's gone and I need to move on. Or so that's what I'm told. How am I ever to be happy with the hope he'll return. Only to be disappointed.
The rings reflected light flickers with the breeze. I close my eyes. It's time to say goodbyes. It's time to let him know. How much did I love him?
"I'll miss you. I'll miss your touch. I'll miss your voice. I'll miss your eyes locked with mine. I'll miss our laughs. I'll miss everything I know I can never have again."
"You won't want me sad but the feeling is inevitable. Loosing you was never an option in my mind. It was supposed to be you and me forever. Forever is broken."
"As much as I hope. As much as I pray every night for your return, I know you'll never come back. Crying is fruitful. It will only remind me of my pain."
"Now as I sit here watching my last reminder of your existence get buried with the coming breeze, is when I let my mind wander. The thoughts are dangerous. Harmful."
"You will stay in my memory for the rest of my time here. You will always have that place in my heart I can't replace with anyone else's warmth."
"You will always be mine. You will always be my love, my protector. You've saved me so many times. Je T'aime, forever and always. Goodbye."
I continue to watch the ring, almost expecting it to disappear. Fly away like he did. Leave me alone like he did. But it stays. Unmoving.
Now I have to cover it. I have to bury the memories. I can't bring my hand to move but eventually it inches to the dirt mound.
The tears start to fall. One, two, three, over and over they drip onto the ground until I lose count. They soak into the dirt and travel down… down… down.
My hand pushes the dirt over the ring. Slowly it's covered. The gold no longer showing. All that's left of him is that green emerald. All that's left of us.
Quickly I brush over the last of the dirt. Quickly it all goes away. Just a patch on the ground. Like he was never here. Like there was nothing.
I stand. I can't be here anymore. I have to leave, but where is there to go? You can't run away from your mind. But you can try.
Slowly I turn on my heel and walk in the opposite direction. Leaving him behind me. Never looking back, always moving forward. It's what he would want.
So, I keep going. Farther and farther away. He's just a ghost of my past. Forever gone, to always be remembered.
So what did you think? This was only the prologue and I promise the rest of the chapters will be longer! I also promise that by the end of the story you will forever be annoyed by: REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! Thank you bunches! c:
