Sorry it's so short. ;P I did this for MauderRaine and Red. I hope they like it. ;D Even though they're WAY to busy to read my stories. I still love you guys, though, ;)

I don't want to be here. The stench of sorrow and loss draped around the whole room. My eyes burned unshed tears, and I couldn't focus, considering there was

so much to focus on. My mind wasn't a multitasker; I could only think about one thing at a time.

"Zachary, dear? Hand me one of those glasses of wine." Aunt Leah took a look at her husband, who was too busy to notice anything else but the tears that fell

down his cheeks. She sighed. "Make that two."

Zach didn't want to be with all these people, but he didn't want to be alone either. He never thought this would happen. He never thought that his parents wouldn't

be here, in his life anymore. The spy games they placed, the hugs they shared, his mother's warm, soft laugh.... How could it be over? How could they not exist?

How could they leave him?

"Zach? Is that you?"

Why can't anyone leave me alone? "No."

Joe Solomon gave an embarrassed cough. Then, he sighed. "Zach--"

"What?" His voice was swift, as sharp as a knife. "You want to tell me how irresponsible my father was? How my mother was so stupid," Zach's voice cracked, "to

marry him? That she deserverd this? That she deserved to DIE?"

The two were getting looks, and Joe's flushed face started to get more pronounced in silence. "Zach--"

"Shut up! JUST SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU SEE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU?" And Zach, overcome with his anger and grief, ran.

He didn't see Joe Solomon for five years. Ironically, his parents, who only rolled their eyes at Joe's fanatics, reminded him, repeatedly, over and over again, how his

Uncle Joe would always be there for him. How his Uncle would always protect him. How his Uncle forgave his father along time ago. For what, Zach didn't know, and he

didn't care. Because his parents were wrong. Uncle Joe didn't keep his promise.

But then again, I guess he wanted to forget that part. Everyone else forgot about me too. But I guess that's life.

This is the kind of crap you come up with when you've been at home for a week, sick, and you get hyper off of your medicine while your holding one of your parkeets, Alex, and the other five scream at you because they want to be held, too. Thanks for reading. Oh, and PLEASE review because my friends, MauderRaine and REDROX would never review (Actually, I'm betting that by next Monday Red's gonna get bored of Fanfic.) They'll just write about Pokemon and Artemis Fowl. Red doesn't care about my stories anyway and MR's busy stalking someone. So please review?

Oh, and I wanted to say hi back to thechameleon6676, but they wouldn't let me PM her back! So, yeah, what's up Madeline? ;P Sorry I'm hyper. But I just wanted to tell you that I really like your profile picture.
