Away
Disclaimer: The amazing Francesca Lia Block owns all.
Swishing through the thick fog I climb onto a bus that will take me away. Away to somewhere where I know none, away from the memory of my father, and my mother's pain. Life here has no meaning since I've seen neither Claudia nor Jack for nearly two months. Perhaps they've left together and forgotten to tell me? All I know is I cannot stay in Los Angeles without them.
Clutching my tarot cards I sit by the window, pulling my jacket tighter around me. I finger The Moon card, thinking of Jack. Glancing out of the fog stained window I see him, lurking in the shadows like some kind of demon. Or ghost. He smiles and blows me a kiss, when I look again he's gone. Was he really there? Or was he just a dream? I want to see Claudia; I want to hug her and heal her heroin needle bruised arms and tell her its okay. I don't want to go away, not without saying goodbye.
I spend the rest of the trip half asleep half awake. I hold my cards close to my heart, longing to see Jack. I remember the heat of him, his breath on my cheek keeping my fragile body warm. As we ride of into the distance I can almost see him, but not quite.
A/N: Short I know, but that's all that I could say without ruining it.
