Romano
Remember the good times they had.
How good it was to be together.
Remember when they promised,
They wouldn't leave.
DING-DONG DING-DONG
It was late at night. The clock had struck midnight. Romano laid in his bed, wide awake. He would go back to sleep but it only brought up memories.
Those terrible, terrible memories.
"Grandpa!"
The young nation ran and checked each and every room in his home, calling out for his guardian. Only to find that they were all empty.
He called for his guardian again.w
"Grandpa!"
But there was no answer.
Romano sat up in his bed. There was no way he could rest easily tonight. He left his room.
He walked toward a room, the guest room, and slowly open the door. To his surprise...
There was no one.
His heart clenched. He closed the door and began to check the other rooms in the house.
Each and every one was empty.
He found himself running. Reopening doors he had already been through. No matter how many times he did, they were always empty.
"Ah uh ah uh ah uh"
He was struggling to breathe. His panting was unsettling.
*GULP*
He ran toward one last room in his home, hopping that this was all some kind of sick joke. He slammed the door open and just like all the others...
It was empty.
Romano fell to his knees. Eyes wide. Breathing unsteadily.
"Romano~" his cheerful brother's voice filled his mind.
"It's always great to be with my big brother Romano~!"
Liar
"Si!" Now another voice filled his head, one belonging to his previous guardian.
"We'll always be together! Right, Romano?"
Liars...
"That's right!" This voice was from a female.
"Romano is so adorable. Lets all promise to be together!"
Why?
"I'll always be with my big brother!"
Stop...
"We'll always be together!"
Stop it...
"It's a promise then!"
"Yeah!"
"STOP IT!"
Romano yelled at the empty room. No one heard him. No one was there. He took one last look around the empty home.
No one.
He managed to walk toward his room and get into bed. He knew he won't be able to sleep, but he laid there.
The clock struck one.
DING-DING DING-DONG
Romano laid in his bed, listening for someone, anyone to be here with him.
But no.
There was no one.
It was all just like before.
They left him alone.
Remember the good times they had.
How good it was to be together.
Remember when they promised,
They wouldn't leave.
But who keeps promises?
People tend to say that they would always be with you, that they always will be there. But people are liars. The abandon him. Making him scared for it to happen again. The promised to stay, but promises can easily be broken.
