Author's Note:

Hello again! I'm happy that you guys like my story--really, you don't know how much it inspires me just to know that someone out there is reading my stuff. 

So I was going to advice:

It is better to read this chapter while listening to "Someone's Missing" (by MGMT), in this whole story of mine, it is best to listen to the songs that the chapter has a relevant title or introduction to.

(Ex: Last chapter was "Flash Delirium")

Enjoy Reading!

Someone's telling the toll to me.

I'm cut and weeping like a rubber tree...

But I don't care who's left behind

Lost revelations that I'll never find...

It's been a month...

A month since that incident at Barringer Crate.

A month since I was shot.

A month since James almost died.

and a month since I last saw Ben.

I know. I'm bringing him up again.

Even when James told me to forget someone who can't be trusted.

But it just felt like some sort of dream!

I even asked James some 3 weeks ago to ask Lily how Ben was, but ever since he came back from the desert, it was just impossible to keep in touch with her.

I asked everyone else on the set, but they were too occupied with other thoughts and they didn't even know Ben at all.

I wish I could ask Will, but he was just as unreachable as Lily was.

I searched through phone books, the internet, public records, and all the like, but neither Ben nor Lily's traces were found anywhere.

I even tried going back, but no one allowed me to, they were all worried about my health. 

I was forced to stay here, even if I didn’t want to.

All the memories I had with Ben would tap me on the shoulder from time to time, as if reminding me to look through records again, which I did, but with no luck. 

Even when I tried shaking them off, the memories still came.

But my dream was the strangest of all...

After that one dream, I never once dreamt of him again.

I would be insane to think that was really Ben telling me something.

It just can't be...

And after a while, even though I didn't want to give it up, I just had to, for the sake of my job. 

And I guess…

Ben was a onetime thing; too good last…

Too good to be true.

And now…

It's time to forget.

With a long sigh let the hissing in

Stones deformed by gentle kissing and

All the closed eyes start to glisten..

But it feels like someone's missing...

Yeah it feels like someone's missing
