14 - Gone

It was raining, the droplets of water drenching her body despite the umbrella clutched in her hand. She knelt on the ground, attempting to keep her legs from touching the floor as she smiled slightly.

"Hey, Natsume… I haven't seen you in a while, how're you doing?" There wasn't a reply, though she really didn't expect one, "I've been fine, I think. I've almost graduated from the academy, and my final results aren't great but they're better than I expected them to be… I think that's all thanks to you for helping me study." She inhaled, and then let out the breath in a quick huff, "Everyone's doing okay; Hotaru, Luca and everyone else... They all miss you though." Water ran down her cheeks, and she knew it wasn't the rain, "I miss you too, you know… It's been years but I still can't… I don't know how to move on, Natsume. I still can't believe you're gone…"

Her hand reached forward and stroked the cold stone set in front of her, fingers gently brushing over his name carved into the face, "Why did you have to go, Natsume? Why did you leave?" The tears increased, and loud sobs escaped her throat, breaking up her words as her hand clenched into fists, "I need you, Natsume! I don't… I don't know what to do without you! I- I wanted to stay with you! Forever!"

Dropping the useless umbrella, she threw herself over the gravestone, wrapping her arms around it and pressing her face against the hard stone, not caring about the pouring rain, or her knees now covered in mud, "I wanted to spend my life with you! We could have gotten married and had children or something, Natsume! We could have been happy!" She was shouting now, though she knew she wasn't angry at him; what would be the point, it wasn't like he could really hear her, but a small part of her was hoping he'd appear again before her, saying something stupid like 'Stop crying, Polka Dots,' She lowered her voice and shook her head at the thought, raindrops flying off her hair, "I love you."

A/N: It's so short! Ugh! Sorryy! My next one will be longer, I promise!
