This is a song I dedicate to the forever saddened Wolfwood:
So this is odd, the painful realizations that all has gone wrong.
And nobody cares at all, and nobody cares at all.
So you buried all your lovers clothes and burned the letters lover wrote,
But it doesn't make it any better. Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist in the hall where you had your first kiss
Reminds you that the memories will fade.
So this is strange,
Our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance where nobody leads at all,
Where nobody leads at all
And the picture frames are facing down
And the ringing from this empty sound is deafening and keeping you from sleep.
And breathing is a foriegn task, and thinking's just too much to ask.
And you're measuring your minutes by a clock thats blinking eights
This is incredible. Starving, insatiable, yes, this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time.
Well this is the last time.
This is the last time.......

Chapter 7: Unshed Tears
It had been three weeks since Millie ran away and Wolfwood had finally come home. He shuffled his tired body into Meryl's apartment, acting as if he had never left. But you could tell just by looking at him that he was miserable. He hadn't showered in a least a week, and his chin was growing a bit of a stubble. His light blue eyes were disguised in dark bags that hung just below his eyes. His fatigued form made its way towards his bedroom slowly, but he was stopped by a familiar voice.
" Where is she?" Meryl's voice was low, but still overbearing.
Wolfwood turned his head slightly to look at her, but he didnt say anything, he just stared at her, trying hard to hide his pain.
" Answer me!!" Meryl's anger was overcoming her now, and tears were staining her reddened cheeks.
" S-she says not to worry, that she's living with her family now...." Wolfwood's voice was barely a whisper, but Meryl heard every word he said.
" What?! You talked to her?! Wha-"
" Listen, that's just what she told me, don't take it out on me!" Wolfwood's voice suddendly became brassy and clear. Meryl jumped back at the anger in his voice.
" B-but, don't you love her?" Meryl said, lowering her voice.
Wolfwood paused and gripped his bedroom doorknob tightly. " I did..." He turned his head away as he made his way into his bedroom and shutting the door behind him gravely.
Meryl's breath caught in her chest. She knew Wolfwood still loved her, you could tell by the pain in his voice and the blank look on his face. She turned her face down to stare at the cold, wooden floor. She missed Millie so much. She was the one who made Meryl's apartment seem so lively and sanguine. But now with her gone, everything seemed dead and time was so slow. She was her only best friend in the world and the only person who could respect her fully as a member of her family. In fact, Millie was the only one who taught her to finally start talking to her family and finally respect the fact that they will always be there for her. But Millie was her family. She was the one Meryl never realized she had until she was gone. And now Meryl felt so empty without her.
" Wolfwood! You're back!" Vash said happily, running towards his friend who had just entered the room, " Did you bring Millie back?'
Vash paused when he saw the look on Wolfwood's face. The gentle face he used to have was now twisted with pain and agony, and his light blue eyes were dull and unattainable. The wide smile plastered on Vash's face slowly pressed into a frown, and he turned his head away, he couldn't look at the bleak look on his face anymore.
" She decided to stay with her family..." Wolfwood finally stammered after a long silence between them.
Vash didn't say anything, he couldn't, there was nothing to say. He bit his lip nervously as the silence sank in once again. Vash glanced at Wolfwood's face again and saw a slight tear staining his coarse cheek. Wolfwood quickly wiped the tear away and looked into Vash's eyes for the first time in a few weeks.
" She called me Mr. Priest...." He said, his eyes brimming with tears. Vash reached out to comfort his friend, but Wolfwood refused, pushing him away. " I think I-I'd rather be alone..." Wolfwood stuttered, throwing himself onto his bed. Vash was full of concern, but he knew he had better give him some time alone. He sighed slightly and he turned his back to his friend.
" I know she loves you, no matter what happens..." Vash's voice was hesitant, yet still full of guidance. Before Wolfwood could say anything, Vash made his way out the door and shut it behind him. He felt terrible for turning his back on Wolfwood, but he knew he needed his time alone. But he was almost positive that Millie would've come back, she's not the type to just up and leave. And when she did make up her mind, it was almost never changed, she was very headstrong. But why would she leave Wolfwood like that? She loved him, you could see it when she smiled, her eyes became so beautiful and candid when she was around him. She wasn't scared.... Was she?
" She's gone... Isn't she?"
Vash glanced over at the troubled Meryl standing at the end of the hall. She had her arms wrapped around her tiny frame, enveloping her emotions from the outside world. Her face was turned away, clearly hiding the tears forming in her glassy eyes.
" N-no... She'll be back.." Vash made his way towards Meryl and wrapped his broad arms around his lover protectively.
" N-no, I think you're wrong, she'd be back by now, wouldn't she?" Meryl's voice broke up as she spoke, and tears were starting to force themselves down her cheeks. She buried her head in Vash's chest, pulling herself closer to him.
" What did that bastard do to her!" Meryl's voice was painful and unsincere. She knew she didn't mean what she said, but she often took emotions she couldnt handle on other people.
Vash hushed her and pulled her closer. " Don't worry, I know she loves Wolfwood, she'll be back..." Vash whispered, stroking her short dark blue locks gracefully.
Meryl's face was twisted with worry, but she still managed to force a fake smile at his hopeful remark. She buried her head into Vash's chest again and hugged him tightly.
" P-please.... Promise me you'll never leave like she did...." Meryl mumbled into his shoulder.
" Meryl, I love you, I would never do that..." He said, turning her head to look into her perplexed eyes.
" Yes, but that's what Millie told Wolfwood...." She replied softly, tears pouring out of her eyes.
" She'll be back, I promise..." Vash whispered into her ear. Meryl didn't say anything, she just smiled and kissed his cheek softly.
It had been well over an hour since Wolfwood had been home, and he still sat in the same spot that Vash had left him in, his body pulled tightly into a ball. He felt shame and hate towards the love Millie and him shared. Why did love have to betray him like that? She was everything he ever wanted, so why did she leave like that? He wanted to cry so badly, but it seemed all the tears he could cry had been shed. How could he move on after a love like that? It was so pure and real, nothing would ever amount to it.......
