28. always in our hearts

after boarding the plane and landing safely, calum found his way back to the warehouse. the first thing he wanted to see was, of course, wolf.

wolf welcomed him by a big hug, "calum!"

"wolf, i missed you."

the two talked about their days without each other but calum didn't bother to tell her anything about the fraternity because dean might hear it and wolf could be in trouble.

"calum, i need to tell you something."

"what is it wolf?" calum wrapped his arms around the girl which wolf always loved, she loved the warmth and sincerity.

"i, i got a mission and- it's you. i can't do it calum, why did you- why do i?" wolf said as tears brimmed across her face.

calum was shocked, he didn't expect this. dean might hear their conversations about escaping and all-he felt anger rushed inside him as wolf's tears stained his shirt.

"when is the deadline?" calum swallowed a lemon, he knew that wolf couldn't do it.

"five days from now." wolf sobbed as the tears came quickly than before. she couldn't take it, it was recently eating her.

calum just tucked the girl until she fell asleep. "it's okay."

-
"good morning, sunshine." calum greeted, looking at the girl who was lying in his arms with swollen eyes and to his surprise-he still found her very beautiful.

"good morning." wolf answered, sitting down on the bed. "there's something else that you need to know."

"what is it? are you pregnant?" calum asked and nobody could actually tell if he was joking or not.

"no, stupid. frosty's gone."

calum's face dimmed with sadness before he answered, "why?"

"he got sick, he didn't want to eat anything, i think he longed for you." before she knew it, her tears were already flushing down her cheeks.

she was a light-cryer-if that was the right term for it. she just cried over the little things. she cried for the sunset, she cried for the full moon.

calum wiped the warm tears away with his thumb, "it's okay, wolf. he's always in our hearts."

wolf froze, what if one day or specifically five days from now, her conscience would tell her the same about calum? she started to worry again. tears were still flushing down as she hugged calum very tight, tightest hug she had ever given anyone.

"i love you." she cried, her fingers clutching calum's back with full strength. "i love you." she repeated.

"wolf, i can't breathe." calum chuckled, hugging the girl back.

and there they were once again, hugging until wolf stopped crying and everything was normal again.

she was crying because she didn't know what would happen however, she had no plans to do the mission, she'd just wait for dean to push her button but she had to be, of course, beside calum.

if she could picture her death, it would be beside calum, hugging calum too tight and saying three words for the very last time.

with a little tear falling out from her right eye, wolf had written something into her scented floral paper:

he's always in our hearts
he's always in our hearts
he's always in our hearts

these words sounded like goodbye to me, calum's voice somehow made its point to say goodbye to me. i hate goodbyes. i fucking hate goodbyes.

i wish i could live like a normal sixteen year old girl and then i'd met calum inside a pet shop and we'd fight over frosty.

i wish i could
