20. Gone
Tell Me Goodbye - Bigbang
Previously: Nevertheless, encouraged by her continuous giggles, I shake my jet black hair out of my eyes and bend my head down to hers, planting a gently kiss on her rosy lips. I put into mind for the future that she tasted of sesame seeds and chocolate. Who knew how long we would have together? If only...
Narrator's point of view...
Please don't be upset.
This for the best.

She found this on her bedside table in the morning, scrawled in Devin's neat yet seemingly hurried handwriting. Heart beating fast, Daphne rushed to the guys' nearby cabin in pj's and boots, knocking breathlessly before stomping right through.
Even as she cried out his name helplessly, her head kept her from hoping, kept telling her it was already too late.
"Haven't seen him since last night," Josh said, already having been awaken and having his morning coffee. "Can I offer you a drink?"
Ignoring him, Daphne ran up the steps, not daring to believe he'd gone.
"Came to see me so soon?" Rizzo teased, a sparkle in his dark eyes.
"Not now, pervert." No time for nonsense. He has to be here. He just has to...
But alas, as she finally reach the bed she'd been hoping to somehow miraculously hold his hunched, sleeping form, realization hit like an icy wave of truth; he was gone. The only thing left was an empty bed refecting such somber solemnity that no one if their right mind could ever have thought to disturb...
It struck her odd that not even a mere mouse dare crawl even a mere foot towards it, as if some sort of barrier lay between them. No, not a barrier-a difference. But of what kind? And why in heaven's name was she worrying about the absence of mice when she had so many other things to worry about? And yet, it was rather peculiar how-
"You've missed him by...oh, about an hour or so, give or take." A soft voice, unfamiliar and strangely distant.
She couldn't bear turning, couldn't bear tearing her eyes away from the last place she knew him to be. With every second she felt more hollow, more empty, as if the only light in her darkness was snuffed out. Looking back on the past couple days, it seemed like pure bliss, as if the world had finally given her something good to hold on to.
And hold on to it she did.
Daphne treasured every moment with Devin. Every dream expressed, every laugh rejoiced, every kiss shared, every cry comforted, every right and wrong they exposed to the light. So much feelings pouring out like tears from her heart that she couldn't bear to think she'd lost it all-lost the only good thing she'd gotten ahold of.
The only good thing given to her, to her, Daphne Grimm, belonging to no one but herself, not taken over by Sabrina or worn to bits by Andy, or chewed over by someone's dog-heaven knows whose.
No. Hers.
With this new revelation, Daphne was hit with a sudden pang, letting go her hold of security, of sanity, of logic, of reason...and just...succumbed to the emptiness within her. She felt the world fall by, twist and twirl as if changing itself to morph into her Wonderland...and she-it's Alice.
A soft bed beneath her. Murmured whispers in her ear. Caresses of her muddled form. Gentle strokes of her surely tangled hair.
And a voice. One sole voice that she'd deemed unfamiliar in some daze.
Chris.
