It's been 6 years, six years since Gregor hasn't seen her, six years since he's last trip to the underland. Since then Gregor has moved with his family to Virginia.

Ever since he's arrival, Gregor didn't want, or couldn't, make many friends. He's only friends, Chuck and Andrew, didn't even know why he was so depressed, Gregor just couldn't tell them. After a while they stoped asking questions about his mood, and the small photo in his wallet that he took anywhere he went.

But not everything was hell, he still kept in touch with Luxa thanks to Ripred.


Some time after his eighteenth birthday Gregor got his driver's licence and took his friends for a ride.

After half hour of driving Chuck got bored and decided to start a conversation:

"Hey Greg, can you put some music?''

"Yeah, sure" Gregor responded as indiferently as always."If you open the glove compartment, you will find a CD labeled Ohne Dich".

After thirty seconds of digging Chuck held out the exact CD that Gregor was talking about.

''So.." Chuck started "...Is this some sort of country music?"

"No" Gregor said.

''Than what is i-" Chuck didn't have time to finnish the sentance because he was cut off by Gregor.

"Just put in the port". Andrew started. " I'm too bored to know, just play it, it dosen't matter what type it is."

With that being said Chuck didn't said anything else, he simply inserted the CD and hit play.

Than a guy started singing something in greman. Chuck couldn't stop himself and said:

"What is this, German? I don't undersand anything." Chuck said and reached for the eject button, but never reached it.

In a split second Gregor took a small paper and handed it to Chuck while saing:

"Here are the lyrics in english, read them and you might understand something about me''.

"What would that be?" Asked Chuck puzzled.

"Maybe the reason as to why I am always sad."

"Finally an explination, give me that thing." Chuck said while reaching for the peace of paper. He stared at it for thirty seconds and said. "Really?"with a small sigh.

"What is it?" Andrew said. Chuck didn't respond."Comeon, man, tell me!" Nothing. "If you won't tell me than give the dam thing!"

Chuck sloly handed the paper to Andrew and said nothing.

The lyrics said something about being without a girl.

(A/N right here used to be some lyrics, but I learned that FanFiction. Net isn't really approving of that sort of stuff)

Gregor Knew that those lyrics said something about himself, but didn't know if they understood what.

"Wow." Andrew said "Just wow!"

"Man" Chuck started "With lyrics like that anyone would be depressed."

Gregor thought that this was the moment to tell them. "Wana know wat the saddest part is?"

"What?" Both Chuck and Andrew Asked.

"That those lyrics fit me like a glove."

"Who is she?" Chuck said."I mean I had my fare share of breackups, and I got over all of them, and so will you, eventually."

"No." Gregor said with a soft voice." We never broke up."

"Than why aren't you with her?"

"She dosen't live here. Remeber that I used to live in New York?"

"Ohhhh." Gregor's friends said almost simultaniously.

Chuck said " Why Don't you go after her, I mean your parents won't be able to stop you."

Gregor chuckled, "You knw what, I'll go."

"That's the spirit."Andrew encouraged Gregor.

"When will you come back?"

"I don't think I will, Chuck." Gregor said in his usual depressed tone.

"Than you can call us."

"Where I'm going there will be no signal."

"Wait, New York isn't the type of place where you go and don't come back, or that has no signal, Where are you actualy going?"

"I can't tell you. You would't believe me."

"Try us."

"No. If I tell you you'll think that I'm insane."

"Fine, than we'll go with you."

"Actually, that might be a good thing, I need someone to drive my car back here, my parents will want it back."

"All right, when do we leave?"

"In a few days. There is some stuff that I have to pack up and send a letter."

"To whom?"they asked

And in a simple response Gregor said "To her."

And the rest of the trip was silent.


Later that evening Gregor was with a sheet of paper and a pen. After half an hour Gregor took the pen and just wrote:

" Dear Luxa,

I'm sorry for not being able to see you, but I promise you, that will change soon. Now that I'm eighteen I am technically independent from my parents. So basically I can do whatever I want now.

But there is only one thing that I truly want to do and that is to see you.

By the time you will get this I will be a day or two away, depending on how fast Ripred is.

Also, maybe I might bring a friend or two, don't worry, they won't stay, it's just to prove a point.

,Gregor

"Quite a sentimental one you got there, Gregor."

Gregor though his father was there, but turned around and saw that it's just Ripred.

"Jeez, Ripred. For a second I thought you were my father."

"Whatever, is it done?"

"Yeah... hold on, how did you know I was going to write to her?"

"I've always got a rat here that watches you, and I was in town."

"I'm guessing you read it, so you know, your days as postman are over."


The end of chapter one.

Hey, Radu here.

First of all, I'm sorry if there are any grammar mistakes.

Secondly the I will upload the next chapter sometime this week, or the next one

Third, the song I mentioned earlier is actually called Ohne Dich, I know how it sounds, but if you enjoy a slow type of metal you might like it, and also, if I got the translation wrong don't blame me, blame Google Translate.
