Disclaimer: I own Drika and Seth. Nothin else

"Drika," Will said slowly, "why . . . did you leave like that?" I threw my arms up in defeat. "I don't know Will. It just seemed as though my world was caving in and no one cared! I guess I thought it was the only way to set things straight." "By running off with Seth?" "Yeah. Sure." I sighed and sat down on my bed with a thunk. I put my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. "Will, you've got everything you've ever wanted." "Not everything . . ." he said quietly. "Yeah, well, close enough. And look at me. I've got nothing. My dreams are shattered, my hope is scattered, and nothing I do seems good enough for you. And not just you, for anyone. I was always 'Will's sister' at home, and I was 'Elizabeth's helper' on the ship. What were you expecting me to do Will?" He sighed and leaned against the wall. "I dunno Drika. It's just . . . with so much going on right now, I guess . . . I guess I forgot about you. I'm sorry." I ran my fingers through my hair. "So what now?" I asked. "I'm still here, ignored as usual by most." "What is it you want, Drika?" "I'm just waiting for a better day."
