The damaged brains

Chapter 36 - Wayfarers.

Unexpectedly the others wasn't that happy about the news , at first they thought it was just a miserable attempt from me to convince them not to leave , when we all got out waiting quietly for the light to appear again it did not .. and until dawn nothing had happened .

I set a cry of desperation when everyone got ready to leave .. for good .

Kevin and Enana started to get used to the place , and I myself got used to them , I knew that my life out here alone would be the lonelliest but I still held on to my hope and there was no chance I leave the cottage .

" We're ready to leave . " Mr Andrew spoke to me , he didn't talk to me at all the last two weeks , and now he came to say goodbye .

" Just want you to know that you guys can always get back here when ever you feel like it .. put in mind that I'll always be waiting for you .." I said holding my tears for some other time .

I squeezed both Enana and Kevin in a tight hug , knowing it to be the last I never wanted to let go .. but I had to and it teared my heart to pieces .

I wondered where Ian was , he knew that after last night there was no way I leave the cottage and so he didn't try to convince me to leave with them . Probably he did not want to say goodbye , after all this wasnt the first time he leave without saying goodbye .

" Where's Ian ? " Jack asked putting his package inside the car .

" Im not going guys .. " Ian's voice said behind my back ,my heart jumped from joy , I never felt so happy in my whole life , I really needed him to stay with me ..

" Really ! " My eyes got wider , expecting his answer .

" Yes , I've seen the light yesterday .. We need to give them more time , if they don't get back we'll head to north . Hopefully we'll meet by then ."

We all said goodbye in the most touching way , hugging and kissing each others for the last time , I had Ian but the rest of them were part of me too and we all made a big happy family , now they will be gone and we'll never meet again .

I really hoped they survive and maybe we'll meet one day in a better world , I really hoped so .

Unt Laura had been like a mother to me , I asked her to stay with us but in vain , her health condition was really bad for her to take the risks and travel all the way to the north .

Nothing was clear at that time , we had no obvious plan and neither did the others , we just waited and hope for Grey and Cassandra to get back .

It's been a such rough sleepless night , Ian and I gragged ourselves up the hill after Mr Andrew's car vanished beyond the morning's horizon .

We sat silently at the cottage's porch , the atmosphere was of a sad shade of bleu as if it was grieving our misery .

I curled up on Ian's lap resting my head on his chest , I felt like a little lost child finally getting back where he belongs .

" I'm glad you didn't left Ian .. for real . " I said with grace .

Beneath my ear Ian's heat beat steadily onward , he kept quiet for a while , we both stared at the void and lifeless features that consumed the city .

" Did I ever leave you ? " His fingers stroke against my hair , it felt so warm having a shelter as Ian in such a hard times .
