45. Loneliness
She's… leaving?
'This is goodbye'
Len stares at the unfolded paper plane in his hand, horror evident on his pale face. His mind can't form thoughts; the only thing he can process is that she's leaving.
The kind, sweet girl from across the fence, who always wore a pretty white sunhat and smiled at him. Who he wrote letters to every day without fail.
Who he fell in love with.
Who took away his loneliness, replacing his sorrow with a beautiful, bright happiness.
The girl who is disappearing from his life.
She's…
He grips onto the fence, the letter falling to the ground. "Wait! Please, wait!" He calls out to the retreating girl desperately.
He's so happy, so happy when she pauses. The girl whose name he doesn't know. The girl who made him feel light.
"I'll- I'll wait for you to come back!" He yells, not caring who sees, not caring if he gets punished. "So please, don't forget me! I'll be waiting right here for you! I promise we'll meet again!"
For a moment, he thinks she's actually going to turn to look back at him. Her hand reaches toward her hair, and he watches her adjust her hat lower on her face. His heart slams into his chest.
Then she runs off into the brush, and is gone within a second.
Len stays strong just a moment longer, before darkness settles over him, and he falls to the ground, tears spilling down onto the soil bitterly.
She's gone.
Gone… forever?
The pain of her absence is like a sharp knife through his chest.
She was my everything, and now…
The crushing realization that he has nothing, that he lost the only thing that kept him going, burns like hot oil within him.
Now, he is truly alone.

Almost halfway, hehehe. It makes me feel super happy seeing all the kind reviews I've got for these drabbles. Thank you to everyone, silent or no, who has been reading these! I love you and I hope you stick around for more!
Speaking of more... The next chapter is gonna be a bit steamy, so just fair warning! Nothing graphic or anything like that, but just letting you know. It's... almost embarrassing, haha...
Anyway, I love reviews so if you don't mind, leave me one to let me know what you think. Love you guys!
