Forever

I "Can You Guess What The Hell I Am Talking About" sort of thing. I know it's not that good..but it wrote itself of its own accord, and it's been a long time since that's happened.

So here goes, folks.

The voices darted around, whipping about, weaving wildly but she sat still...and listened...and heard.

Do you remember...

Ever think about the old times, girl?

You miss them, don't you?

Don't worry. So do I.

We're not doing so great on our own.

I miss them so much I want to cry.

Maybe we'll get back together...

Or we'll be sad forever..

Maybe they're dead...

Serves them right.

It was so stupid.

Maybe they're happy...

Not without me.

Maybe they're happy because they don't have us.

Never. We were close.

Fine. I'll agree with that.

Yes. We were a family.

A family if there ever was one...

Not that it matters...

No, not at all.

We're not a family anymore...

I do miss my brothers...

My sister was so sweet..

Our sister is gone now.

Yes. He never really healed from that.

No. Never.

He always said we just had to wait.

Stupid. No matter how long we waited, no matter how much we hoped...

Dude. Where is everyone?

I'm alone now...

I don't think I like it...

Of course we don't like it...It's for the best...

Best for who?

Not for me.

Not for them.

For everyone else, they're what's important...

No.

I want my family...I want them back.

Badly.

Very badly.

I'm crying.

No...So am I.

I want things the way they were.

Nostalgia and desire are pointless.

We will never be what we were.

Is it time to say goodbye then?

Yes. We did say goodbye...

We never believed it.

No, never ever did. I always thought I'd see them again...

Making me laugh...

Protecting me...

They loved you.

Fool. No one loves you.

Yes, yes, they did. They loved you and you loved them, by the definition of the word.

I want them back. I miss my brothers...

How long has it been since I saw my sister?

I would do anything to see him smile again...

To hear them fight...

To feel her hug...

My family belonged together.

Yes, yes, they did.

But we're not together anymore.

Could we try? Just try again?

Fool. They hated you. They always did.

Shut up! I'm trying to work something out.

No. The rift is too far, too broken, we'll never be together again.

You're right. SOB. You're right.

We're to be alone then...

Yes, always alone.

We're going to stay here...to cry...to long...to hope...

It's going to stay this way...

Forever.

Several miles away, an extremely shell-shocked redhead tumbled out of a black portal.
