(A/N: To celebrate getting over 35,000 words in NaNoWriMo, and the fact that my birthday is on Sunday, here's a fan fic. Enjoy!)
Leaving
Before the house fell on Nessa, she saw faces. Faces of people who had left her.
First, she saw Glinda. She and Nessa had been friends while they were at Shiz, but Glinda hadn't encouraged Boq to ask Nessa to the dance because she thought they would be a good couple—just because Glinda wanted Boq out of her perfect, blonde hair.
Next, Nessa saw her mother. Nessa wasn't sure how she knew it was her mother, since of course she had never seen her, but she just knew. Her mother had left her before they even had a chance to meet, and it was all Nessa's fault.
Then Nessa saw her father. Her father left her in charge of Munchkinland—a job she didn't want and wasn't very good at.
Elphaba was next. Elphaba had claimed that she had done everything she could for Nessa, but she had still left her. That wasn't what sisters were supposed to do to each other. They were supposed to stay with each other, support each other, encourage each other. Not leave her when she's begging you not to.
Boq was last. Boq hadn't loved her from the very beginning, but he stayed with her. And Nessa thought they had something…special. And now Boq was gone, too.
Nessa could have easily gotten out of the way of the house before it hit her. But when she saw all those faces, she had a better idea. I'll show them, she thought as the house grew closer. I'll show them what it's like to be left.
(A/N: Besides for the reasons I listed before the story, I'm also celebrating the excuses "But I'm working on my novel…" and "But staying up late is a part of NaNoWriMo!" Reviews are love!)
