Love-sickness

chapter 12 .Wally.

Ring, Ring, Ring

I remained on the phone with my darling Neighbour, overjoyed that My sweet Neighbour had finally remembered me and all of our other neighbours as well.
“ Oh how happy they’ll all be to hear the news “
I expected to hear my Darling’s overjoyed voice saying that they couldn’t wait to see them all again but instead silence is all that I was met with,
“ my Darling are you ok? what happened? “

" Wally where are our neighbours, I know that Home is with you but where's everyone else "
There was sorrow in their voice as they asked the question and I know why, My Darling Neighbour was always very close to the other neighbours and Home, oh they were friends with everyone and I hated that sometimes, but Home always told me that no matter what they only ever love me the way they do. But of course when I got sick Home had to get rid of the neighbours and make My Darling forget about me, so they won't get hurt. Oh, how I longed to feel their touch and hear their voice once more.

Taking a deep breath, I looked over to the corner of the room and saw Home, he nodded slightly as if understanding but offering no better answer then it could come up with. Thanks a lot Home,
" My Darling there all sleeping peacefully waiting for you to remember and for me to get better, Home thought it would be bad if I infected the whole neighbourhood. Ha Ha Ha "

The sound of My Neighbour giggling came from the other end and my heart stopped for a moment, if only I had a heart.
" Wally… can you come out today, I miss you "
I looked back over at Home, he shrugged then nodded and shook his head. I was confused but there the less I answered My Beloved Neighbour
" Home said that he'll open the window so we can talk but I can't come out just yet… but soon "
" well then I'll come over to do some gardening later so we can talk, is that ok "
" of course my Darling, come over whenever you'd like Sweet Heart~ "

Placing the receiver back on the rotary and trying to face Home, he smiled. Walking out of the courier he was in and  walk over to the kitchen, flicking the kettle on as he goes to pull
two tea cups out of the cabinet and place them next to the kettle just before it boils.
“ aren't you happy Wally, you're slowly getting better, Miss Y/n remembers you and they're going to come over to talk to you… so why the long face? “

“ I want to go outside and talk to them, to comfort them and live with them again, oh Home. I don’t know what I’d do if they forgot me again “
Home gave me a sympathetic look, sighed, then went back to making the tea. I went back to my armchair, sat down and put my head in my hands. I know that Home would see through it, he always does… GOD DAMN IT.
“ Wally, come now that's no way for a little darling to think and next time instead of lying how about we tell the truth. Now Wally Darling How Are You Feeling “

Homes face shadowed and his pupils widened, taking up almost the entire white part of the eye, his voice distorted slightly as the living room lost all of its colour, the only thing I could hear was the sound of about seven people breathing. Bring my hands up to my ears and shut my eyes, even when I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, there breathing getting closer to my ear
“ FINE, I FEEL FINE. I PROMISE, HOME PLACES STOP , I FEEL FINE “
…
“ Let's not lie again, okay? “
