Drifting Farther Apart

A/N- Well this is the 2nd chapter...I wasn't going to continue this but someone wanted me to so I thought why not? Garu

thinks about Ernest and Leena. Please R&R, and tell me if I should write yet another chapter.


Ernest.

Thoughts of him slip into my mind, haunting, like phantoms, especially in the night.

The night is so cold and lonely without you, Ernest. I silently cry.

She stirs beside me, and I want to curse the fact that she is such a light sleeper.

" Garu..." You mumble, your golden hair tousled and your blue eyes hazy. " What's wrong?" You ask me gently, before

putting a comforting arm around me.

I flinch.

You slowly remove your arm, hurt flashing over your features, and your smile falters. But just for a moment.

" Nothing." I lie, and rake a hand through my own messy green locks.

" Are you sure?" You ask again.

" I'm fine!" I snap, a little more harshly than I intended to.

And even though you don't believe me, you take the hint and try to go back to sleep.

I turn my back to you, not really wishing to see you for longer than I have to. I know it may sound cruel, but you,

Leena, are a constant reminder of what could have been with Ernest.

If only I hadn't been so stupid, so blind.

I close my eyes, fighting back the tears of pain and sorrow and rage. Whenever I think of you, Ernest, I want to

destroy everything. I want revenge. And then I want to cry, helpless as a baby.

I seem to move through my life without living, now. Ever since you died.

Ever since you left me.

Ever since you never gave me a chance to say goodbye.

And you never gave me a chance to say I loved you.
