For some reason, angsty songs keep coming up on my iPod… but they're inspiring, so I'll go with them…

I watched Connie turn and walk away from me. The question running through me head was,

Why didn't she tell me? Why didn't she tell me???

This can't be happening, I thought.

Without a word… she just… left.

I remembered when she had told me that something was wrong…

I'd ignored it.

I asked her if she was alright.

She lied.

I was the last to know about her new power.

I'd rejected her, without even meaning it.

Agony swelled up inside of me, and I shouted out to the skies above.

She had been my first love…

I'd been the last to know.

-Big Bang Theory is suddenly proven!-

I opened my eyes. Connie's hand was on my face, and she was staring worriedly at the wet marks on my face.

"Col? You were shouting in your sleep. Are you… are you crying?"

I sat up immediately and wrapped my arms around her thin frame, pulling her to myself, so that she couldn't get away.

"Please tell me you're not leaving."

Connie smiled from behind my shoulder and snuggled her arms around me, placing her in my lap. I hoped they could cuddle and be like so forever.

Connie looked up to stare into my eyes, "I won't."
