- Warnings for this chapter: Visiting a grave, and a bit of sniffling and crying. And that's just from me XD
- Disclaimer: I own nothing that you own.
- A/N: I think I have officially scarred everyone with this story. Mail all your therapy bills to me… Lol. Anyway, this is the final chapter, and it means I can move onto two other stories that I've been meaning to start. Enjoy?
Chapter 10
'A Year Ago Today'
-Delta Goodrem-
A thin, pale figure walked through the deserted graveyard. The man shivered slightly as he felt a cold wind blow around him. His two friends, walking closely behind, also shivered. Though they were used to the cold, everything here seemed a lot colder than what they were used to.
The two friends fell back slightly as the pale man reached his destination. A grave, with the headstone bearing the name of one, Kai Hiwatari. Bending down, the man stroked the ground under which Kai's body lay.
"Hey, Kai… It's me, Tala," the man said softly.
Tala sat down, and rested his head against the stone, still tenderly stroking the ground. He smiled as he placed the fire-red roses on top of the grave. Tala raised his eyes as he noticed Bryan and Spencer watching him, but shuffling around, trying to keep warm.
"They've been really good to me, Bryan and Spencer… Y'know…" Tala muttered to Kai. "They looked after me… They're still looking after me. They're good friends."
Tala shivered as the cold wind bit his ears, and he huddled in closer to the headstone.
"They took me to Switzerland… Not exactly my ideal holiday, but it was OK. I even got to meet Bryan's Bigfoot friend… He was a jolly chap. Hairy, but lovely enough."
Tala chuckled slightly, his breath rising up in a mist before him, as he imagined Kai's reaction in his mind to the news of Tala meeting a Bigfoot. Kai would've just raised his eyebrow, and said nothing. His eyes would've said it all.
Tala stopped laughing, to look at the ground sadly. He missed Kai, more than he could have ever imagined. Sure, he had Bryan and Spencer, but they weren't Kai. No one would compare to Kai.
"Tala, I don't want to rush you… But I think my bum is catching a cold!" Bryan called over to the redhead.
Tala smiled at him, and got up from where he was sat. Bending back down, he kissed the tips of his fingers, and placed them on the ground for just a second, before rising again.
"See you soon, Kai. I love you." Tala stood and stared at the grave for a second, letting a tear fall, before turning his back, and walking away with the two friends that didn't quite compare.
A/N: This is possibly the SHORTEST thing I've EVER written!! But this chapter was more like… An epilogue? Is that what they're called? I don't even know if that's what I mean… It was more to show that Tala was still alive and that he hadn't committed suicide or anything, and that he was trying to live his life to fullest…
Anyway… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!
Oh, I have a problem. One which I think I told you readers about in a different chapter in a different story (therefore, some of you might not know this). My Mum cancelled our internet, and I don't know for sure when it's going to stop, but it'll be within the next few days. Don't worry though, we're going to get better internet. Hopefully. I'll just make sure I have lots of things to upload when I get the internet back :D
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this story. It was the most emotionally draining story I've ever written, and also the best, I think. In a bad sort of way, of course… Lol.
Thanks for all the reviews and stuff!
