▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

You hear rustles as you walk over some fallen leaves on the ground. Sun is not completely set yet since it's around 4 p.m. at the time. You told Norman that he could go back first because you need time alone for calming yourself down.

And to embrace the rest of your time.

You hum the lullaby as you walk, focusing your attention totally at your surroundings, perceiving anything for the last time, wandering freely into the woods.

You are jumping over the fence and keep moving forward. Sometimes you play with the bushes as you walk, brushing your hands over the soft leaves where you often found your siblings when you are the "It" in a tag.

As the uncountable loops of hums comes to an end, you arrived at your hide out. Ray's hide out, actually, and no body's there.

This place looks even more beautiful during sunset, with the lake perfectly reflect the sun and the sky like a painting. You walk along the lakeside until you reach a place with the most exquisite view. It is not far from where you and Ray lied down the other day, he sure knows the best spot.

This place is huge, somehow you thought it's the best place for shouting to your heart content because you can't be heard by anyone else. That was your initial plan, to shout your heart out but unexpectedly you had done that over the chasm.

Then why you are here? You don't exactly know, you just feel like you have to visit here for the last time, like a farewell for your favorite place.

But, an idea popped up in your head.

The lyrics you made for Ray, you never had a chance to test it before since you were always surrounded by everyone. Only once you were totally alone and that when you were busy with the pen.

Now sounds like a perfect time.

You closed your eyes and take a deep breath.

"Le—Ahem!" your voice came out hoarse on your first attempt.

You tried again.

Let me sing a lullaby
As you close your eyes

One day some of the younger children come to your bed at night after noticing you're still awake and shaking you a bit. "Y/N! Y/N! Can you tell us a bed time story? We can't sleep?" asked Alicia.

"Hm? I've told you not to eat sweets before bed! But sure, what do you want?"

"Surprise us!"

"Okay, come here." You move aside and let them fill the gap.

And as you're drifting off to sleep
How I hope that the dreams that you find are bright

"And they live happily ever after," you end your storytelling and noticed all of them is already fallen asleep.

You put them back to their own beds, not forget to whisper "Sweet dreams."

Love, can we meet again soon in the bluest of skies?
Where a tomorrow waits for you and I

"Bah!" you shouted to scare children who was hiding behind bushes.
