I had work today. Not like I wanted to go though; I hadn't slept well that night. I don't know what stopped me from calling in today, but whatever. I looked around for the keys to my car and I noticed her, just staring. I didn't understand why. Sometimes she does shit that I truly don't comprehend. So I stared back at her, guessing maybe it might reveal what she wanted. She only yawned and rubbed her eyes. This intense staring contest lasted at least a good five minutes before the silence was broken, by me of course. "You okay?" I asked sort of concerned.

"Yeah I'm just," she walked up to me, and out of no where, gave me a hug. Oh it surprised me, it surprised me completely but all I did was hug back. I mean this isn't the first time she's ever hugged me, it just seemed like something was off about it. Was she worried I wouldn't come back? I mean I'd be worried too, my job is dangerous after all. So I leaned down to whispered " I promise I'll be back. Sephiroth himself couldn't kill me" to soothe her nerves. I mean part of that statement was true. I'm just that great. Now I don't know what led me to do this, or whatever, but I leaned down and kiss the top of her head. I figured maybe it was something kind I could do to help her feel better; not like she would mind right? Plus any opportunity to exert any sort of love on her was something I'd gladly take. But it didn't go as planned however, as he stepped back from me and shook her head.

"Don't do that." She stated matter-of-factly. "Just come back okay?" her tone had some sort of warning to it.

I looked away, hiding the frown that was inevitably forming on my face. "Yeah I promise." And I left, left her to spend the whole day alone and worried. Man if only she knew this simple rejection had effected me, how I felt some kind of sadness in the pit of my stomach; like my heart had just been smashed into itsy bitsy little piece that no matter how long you tied to reassemble it, it wouldn't be fixed.
