The Last: Gone (set 6.14.05)
"Just go."
And she hates to talk like this.
Hates to act like this, somethings wrong she can't fix.
So she forces the act, turn her inside out. "Fine."
And Todd's calling.
Strange.
And she remembers how he almost got her heart cut out.
Her pain is deafening. Thundering loud in her ears.
And John's there.
But she won't tell him.
And she won't cry.
She will go.
It's safer gone.
Her uncle didn't hurt her.
Todd just helped Mitch.
John took the scalp to her.
"I don't love you."
And Natalie wonders why she still hurts without a heart.
A\N: I want to say how much I enjoyed doing this drabble series and to thank everyone for their encouragement. This series spanned from John finding Rex in the woods and the near hit on Natalie through Viki's heart attack and while not a long time it felt very emotionally draining. Anyway I hope you enjoyed them a fraction of the enjoyment I got out of writing them. You guys are the best.
