Heaven is on earth (Loubbie)

10 .Letters.

Debbie's trembling hands held the worn journal. She had spent an amazing day with Lou. Heavy in emotions, but she was so glad to finally have answers.Its pages filled with Lou's raw emotions and heartfelt confessions. As she began to read, the weight of Lou's pain washed over her, leaving her both mesmerized and devastated.

"I took my plane this morning and I finally arrived to Australia. If you knew Debbie. I watch you sleep for three hours and I couldn't make myself leave. But I did. Because I knew it would be the best for you. I know you can't talk too me so. I was crying so much in the plain. During the all flight. People thought I was crazy. I miss you so much, and I'm in so much pain. I don't know how to describe it. It thought it would be easier. But simple cannot breathe."

"God, Debbie, I miss you so much. After staying at the hotel, I finally moved to my grandmas big house. You would at love it so much. It's a big farm, but not that far from the city. My granny looked shock when she saw me. She told me," Oh, Lou, are you carrying all the pain of the world on your shoulder ?". Taking care of her and being pleasant is the only thing that is keeping me from crying all day lying in bed. Why my Love. Why is it so hard."

***

"There are days when I catch myself reaching for my phone, hoping to see a message from you, but it never comes. It's in those moments that the reality of your absence hits me hard, and I'm left feeling lost and incomplete. I wonder if you ever think of me the way I think of you."

***

"It's been a week... I don't know what to say. Except I'm a mess. And I miss you. I just want to hold you in my arms. Fuck, why did I leave ?

"If I come back... Will you come to rest on my shoulder? Despite all the wrong I've done. I just wish I could have one minute with you, entwined in the dark. Would you tell me your dark hours? The fear of your shadow. I could tell you my tasteless Christmas and when the void called me, mad desire of touching you."

With each word, Debbie could sense the depth of Lou's love, the intensity of her longing. It was a love that seemed to transcend time and space, leaving an indelible mark on both their souls. Lou's words painted a vivid picture of the anguish she experienced in their separation, a sorrow that mirrored her own. Debbie turned another page only to find it covered in "I miss you."

"I wonder how am I still here, and I how I did not come back yet. I am what I am, I'll do what I want, but I can't hide I won't go, I won't sleep I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me. And I won't leave this bed until you're resting here with me. I don't want to call my friends.They might wake me from this dream where you're here with me. Where I didn't leave. And I can't leave this bed, risk forgetting all that's been."

***

"I don't know where to start. It's been a year... but I guess I just needed to get these thoughts out of my head and onto paper. I can't help, but I miss you like crazy. It's like this constant ache in my chest, this emptiness that can't be filled."

***

"Being in love is both the best and the worst feeling in the world, you know? It's like being on this rollercoaster of emotions, where every high is exhilarating and every low feels like a punch to the gut. And right now, I'm riding that rollercoaster without you by my side, and it sucks."

***

"I find myself thinking about you all the time. The way your laughter filled the room, your smile that could light up the darkest of days, and the way your eyes sparkled when you looked at me. It's these little things that I miss the most, the moments we shared that felt like magic."

***

Debbie's own heart ached as she absorbed the weight of Lou's sorrow..

As the pages turned, Debbie realized the magnitude of the love they once shared. It was a love that defied logic and reasoning, a love that left an indelible mark on their souls. Lou's words laid bare her vulnerability and regret, leaving no doubt about the authenticity of her feelings.

"I know I left, and it's been a year, and you must hate me. But despite all of that, the love I have for you hasn't faded. It's still there, burning bright, refusing to let go. And maybe that's why it hurts so damn much. I'm not writing to make myself better. I'm writing this because sometimes, putting my thoughts into words helps me make sense of the mess inside my head. And I know that right now, at this moment, I miss you with every fiber of my being. And I can't help but hope that somehow, somewhere, you feel the same. You'll always every pieces of my heart."

So there she was, sitting in her room, reading the letters that poured her heart out. With each word, a rush of emotions flooded over her. Tears welled up in her eyes, slowly rolling down her cheeks. It was as if the weight of the world had settled on her shoulders, and all she could do was let those tears carry the pain and longing she had kept hidden for so long. In that moment, amidst the vulnerability of those heartfelt words, Debbie couldn't deny the impact Lou had on her life, and the love that still lingered deep within her soul.

Debbie couldn't tear her eyes away from the letters that spanned across the years. Each page held Lou's raw emotions, her heartfelt confessions of missing her. It was overwhelming. Could it be that Lou still carried the same longing as she did?

Debbie reached for her phone. She hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to make the call. But the pull in her heart was too strong to ignore. She needed to hear Lou's voice.

Dialing the familiar number. Each ring felt like an eternity, until finally, Lou's voice filled the line. The sound sent shivers down Debbie's spine.

"Debbie ?"

"Hey Lou..."

"Deb, are you crying ?"

Debbie took a deep breath, her voice quivering with emotion. "I read your letters."

Silence lingered for a moment, before Lou's voice cracked with emotion. "So now you know... I never stopped missing you."

N/A: It's a short chapter, I know, but it was kinda boring to write so..... I have to say that some of the letters are inspired by song, so I cannot take all the credit haha.
