Again a bit of a time jump: And I like to leave it the readers to decide what happened in between. (Sometimes that's good. Mostly not.)Yes this is kinda inspired from the Izzie- Denny scenario.

Don't disappear
Darlin', I want you
Don't leave me here
And when the day comes
I'll meet you here
'Cause I know that wishes come true
Finding my way back to you

Holly looked around at the park. She felt miserable and alone. She had walked all the way to this very bench, and sat in the very same spot she sat a couple of months ago - with Gail.

Gail.

Holly closed her eyes. If she could clear her mind just enough - maybe she could feel Gail sitting on her left side, playing with the ring on her left hand like she was a couple of months ago.

Holly opened her eyes and looked around the park. It was quite dark and lonely - but it seemed so colorless now. All she could see was black and white.

Holly closed her eyes again and leant her head on her left.

If she tried hard enough, maybe she could feel Gail there, kissing her forehead and telling her to go on and stay strong - and soon things would be alright.

If they ever could.


Gail found herself wandering mostly between their house and the park. She and Holly usually never went out much - and they both always preferred each other's company alone as opposed to crowds of people at bars and theatres. Even if they did go out on dates to restaurants - Gail always felt more like herself and Holly were better off in their own little world - isolated and perfect. Gail couldn't help but feel other than the apartment, this park was one of the few places she felt they were perfect together, one.

Gail sometimes wondered if Holly would chose to ever come here. Gail guessed the house must have reminded Holly of her too much and she hoped that the park was perhaps more neutral ground.

Gail however never sat anywhere else in the park except on that bench. And that's where she was this evening as well. Gail couldn't help but feel miserable in her own darkness and loneliness. Whatever world Gail seemed to be stuck in - the Sun never seemed to rise. It was some sort of constant night - that Gail was starting to become weary of.

Gail could have sworn she could feel Holly sit next to her on that bench, and she could feel Holly rest her tired head on her right shoulder. Gail turned her head right, no one was there - but she could have sworn she could feel Holly at her side.

Gail closed her eyes and thought to herself, willing herself to say the words in the desperate hope that Holly might hear them.

"It's Okay, Nerd. You can do this. You and your lunchbox will be just fine. You're the strongest person I know Hol."

Gail rested her head to her right, and took a deep breath.

If she tried hard enough - maybe she could give Holly a soft kiss on her forehead.
