White Rose

I straightened around the room. It was impossible for me to get any work done with Laguna around. I had been hoping Ellone wouldn't bother me either. No such luck.
"Raine do yoo like Laguna?"
"I like him Ellone. I don't love him though."
"Why not?"
That was a hard one to answer. I paused for a second and thought. How could I explain to her that I hadn't wanted him to come here? I didn't ask to nurse any soldiers. I liked Laguna. I liked him a lot. Yet I couldn't say I loved him. Love was as strong a word as hate in my opinion.
"It seems like he really just wants to be a writer. He would have to travel a lot. I would like to marry someone who just stays in one place."
That wasn't the truth. I knew it wasn't. I knew that Laguna would gladly stay in one place for me is he had to. I just didn't know the real reason.
"But Laguna, Raine, and Ellone belong together!"
"Sometimes life just won't work out in those kinds of ways."
As if on command, Laguna appeared and gave his report. The next day he left and had put a white rose on a table for me. With it sat a note.
Dear Raine
I'm sorry I had to leave you. I wanted to tell you I love you. I know you don't love me. I'm sorry I had to leave. I felt it was for the best. I hope it was for the best.
From,
Laguna
I knew he heard my conversation. I didn't care. He was gone and he wouldn't be back. I looked at the table at the white rose. I would miss Laguna. But I would remember him always. I hoped he would remember me. Not as Raine the commander. But as the one who loved him.

Very dumb. But it's only my second fic.
