She immediately knew something was wrong when she came home to an empty house with no bouncy pet to welcome her home. She saw a letter on the table, read it, and it was then that her world ended.
Dearest Sumire-chan,
Sorry. I'm really sorry. I can't stay here any longer. Please don't get me wrong because these few years here were the best few years of my life. I'd do anything to get those last few years back, but I'm sorry to say that I need to go because I can't live here anymore.
I can't, Sumire-chan, because I've fallen in love with you. I love you too much to stay as your pet, because I want to be more than that. I know you won't do it, because, in your eyes, that's all I am. And as much as I love you Sumire-chan, I really can't bear being your pet anymore.
I'm sorry I had to lie by telling you I would stay 'til you were old and wrinkly. I meant it then, I really did. And I tried Sumire-chan, I tried my hardest. But seeing you everyday and not being able to touch you, Sumire-chan, it was so difficult. Sleeping in your bed and smelling your hair while I try to sleep, but not being able to tell you I love you, Sumire-chan, it really hurt.
Sorry I wasn't able to tell it to your face. Because I knew that if I did, I wouldn't be able to leave. Sumire-chan, please understand that. It was fun while it lasted but I want a real life. I wanted a real life with you, Sumire-chan. But seeing as that can't happen, I'm leaving.
Thanks for everything, Sumire-chan. Your omurice was the best.
Love,
Momo
Her world ended. He had left. And she never had the chance to... She never had the chance to tell him how she felt because she was too scared. Scared of his rejection. Afraid that it would ruin their routine if things went wrong. She was afraid to change how things were between them because it was so perfect she didn't want to taint it.
She had thought at least he would understand her difficulties. Apparently she had thought wrong. And now he was gone. Forever.
He was gone. He would never come back. He had ran away.
A/N: because there aren't enough KWP fics around...
