I collapsed onto my bed and sobbed until I was sick.

I sat up slowly and Iggy and Gazzy came in, both upset. "Mad about being left behind?" I asked, dully—I was going back into the Yero-is-gone-and-I-will-probably-never-see-him-again robot mode—it freaked everyone else out, but it helped me function somewhat.

Gazzy looked at me and asked, "You miss him?"

I barely nodded.

Iggy sat down quietly next to me—he knew—everyone knew how important Yero had been to me—how important he still was to me.

Iggy touched my shoulder and said, "Emerald, you still need to cry a little. Let it out. You'll only hurt yourself more."

Gazzy looked at me and nodded in agreement.

As I was crying, I vaguely heard Iggy saying, "In fact you're still hurting. You have to let him go. He wouldn't want you to throw your life away."

I glared at Iggy and started screaming—but I wasn't really upset anymore—I had blocked all of my emotions since Yero's disappearance, "Get out! What do you know about what he would want for me? He promised he would never leave me! He told me that he would only love me!"

Iggy and Gazzy quickly left my room and I whispered, "Why did they take you away my love?"

I paced and said, "If he only saw me now, he'd be so surprised at all that's happened for me."

I weakly sat down and began to sing a song I'd written for him. (A/N—this song belongs to Idina Menzel)

"You'd be surprised at all that I've become. You'd be surprised. I've changed while you've been gone and I learned so much more from you than I could ever say. If you were here, I think that you'd stay… You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach. You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep. Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore? If you were here, you'd like what you saw. You'd be surprised, if you were here… We'd make up time for all that's disappeared. And I—I'd hold you like I never could. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised—my life is often sweet. You'd be surprised. It's you who brings me peace… And for some unearthly reason it takes losing you to see, if you were here, I'd know just what you'd need. You'd be surprised. I've loved you all along. You'd be surprised—I now confess when I am wrong and I see the world around in me in a slightly softer shade. If you were here, you wouldn't walk away… You'd be surprised if you were here. We'd make up time for all that's disappeared and I—I'd hold you like I never could. You'd be surprised if you were here… We'd make it right: There'd be no tears and you'd confide in me and I'd be there. I'd be there… You'd be surprised at all that I've become… You'd be surprised."
