"Goodbye to a Dream" Part 2
She awoke in a cold sweat, heavy breathing, and the feel of a coldness that was brought upon by the emptiness that was given to her on that day. 'Why Zoro? Why did you have to die that day?' She thought as she sat on her bed, rocking softly due to the waves outside. As she got up and headed out of her cabin to the deck, a walk that she could no longer stand to make being that she would have to walk by his room. She would catch herself wanting to open the door and yell at him, telling him to wake up and quit being so lazy.
Yet she knew he was not there anymore...nor would he ever return to that room. 'Why did I stop here? He is not there anymore...but for some reason I can't move.' She thought as she looked to the door and slowly opened it, but why she was not sure. She knew that if she did, the same result would happen as it did every other time that same realization would hit again and break her down to nothing more then tears. The same tears that she fought now as she looked into the empty room, as she walked in and closed the door behind her.
Leaning against it as she dropped her head to face the ground, and spoke as if some one were there to listen to her "Tell me why! Tell me why you left us Zoro! Tell me why out of all of us it hurts me the most to know that you're gone!" She spoke as she slid down, the weight of everything too much for her to fight against as she gave in. Sitting there still against the door crying now, tears running down her face accompanying any that had already fallen before them. "Answer me Zoro!" she spoke with a raised voice as she looked up, pausing for a moment as she saw something under his bed. Something that she never noticed before, an object that appeared to be an unopened letter.
As she moved closer to reach for it a few thoughts ran through her mind, 'Was this why I had that dream? Why I came in here tonight?' She thought as she took the letter in her hand, a look of shock fell upon her face as she saw who it was addressed to. 'It has my name on it...why?' she thought as she slowly opened it and began to read it. 'Dear Nami, I know this is nothing like me...to be writing a letter to you I mean. Yet I'm writing this letter to you to explain something about myself, my promise I must keep.
It has been the only driving force in my life and without it who knows what would have happened to me. Now as we finally reach the Grand Line, I feel that my chance to keep this promise is here at last...yet at the same time. I know that if I keep this promise, then I will not be able to fulfill my dream. That dream is to tell you one thing...I love you Nami...' At that moment she dropped the letter, her heart felt as if it had shattered at that moment.
After a few moments she picked up the letter and held it close to her, silent tears falling from her eyes as she read the last part of the letter. 'I could face any enemy whether or not I knew I could win...but I could not face you to tell you this...because you are the only one that gave me fear...fear that you could truly take my heart and destroy it.' She cried more as she held the letter close to her again, speaking once more. "I would never have done that Zoro...because I loved you too..." At that moment Zoro awoke, finding himself on the deck he looked straight up into the night sky and spoke "What does that dream mean?"
To Be Continued.
Note: So no one gets confused...the first chapter was a dream that Nami was having, and this chapter is a dream that Zoro had. Only one chapter left...stay tuned. Also, please Read and Review...wouldn't put this here if I didn't want that.
