The Lost Come Home

Chapter 17

June's POV:

I decided to take Day's advice and called up Anden.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Hey," I say, "I wanted to talk to you about the mission."

"Oh yeah that. Did you calm down and want to go along with it to serve your country?"

"I don't want to go on the mission."

"What?!"

"You heard me, I've already gone to the Colonies and I almost died there so I never want to go back."

"Is this because of Day?"

"Are you really bringing Day into this? I said nothing about Day."

"He just came back and the reason you probably want to stay behind is because he is here and he can't stand on his own two feet. Your long lost love has finally come back into your life when I was always by your side. I was always right here to be there for you. He left you, and never came back June, I would never do that."

"That wasn't his fault, I let him go because I couldn't stand the pain of seeing him here and not even knowing my name!" The tears are now streaming down my face. "Besides, if you really loved me you wouldn't have even brought up a mission like that, I thought you would know me well enough to know I never want to go back there."

"I know. I know. I really do love you and would never-"

"Want to hurt me, got it. Is forcing me to go to the Colonies supposed to make me stronger? Anden we've already been in a relationship and let me be honest with you, it sucked. We never talked, you were always at work and my heart was still with Day no matter what happened. Day might've lost his memory but I still loved him and even if you took him away I would wait another ten years. Hell, I would wait hundreds of years for Day and there is nothing you can do to stop that. And if you even dare to try and take him away from me, I will come and assassinate you myself, I don't care if I die, I will take you down with me."

Day's POV:

June has been holed up in her apartment for the past day only letting Tess in. I miss her so much. I wish I could see her, I've tried everything other than the things she would kill me for like jumping through her window again. I've even tried to interrogate it out of Tess but she didn't crack. I just wish she would come out I want to talk to her.

June's POV:

Tess has brought me food and tried to talk to me but I don't want breakdown again so I keep my mouth shut.  It has been about twenty-four hours since I threatened to murder Anden. Tess has taken up the spare bedroom in fear of me trying to hurt myself. Now I've taken up a corner in my room and I'm doing much more than breathing and blinking.

I have to distract myself, the only thing that scares me more than loosing Day is the fear of my own mind. It could come up with anything, I don't want to fall into the darkness I want to resist it.

I crawl out from my corner and to my night stand, there in the bottom drawer is ten years worth of letters that Eden sent me, he though I might want to read them over and over and not have the chance of me deleting them off of my computer. I pick up the folder from the first year with out Day, that year was my biggest struggle.  I randomly pull out a letter and read.

Dear June,

Day is constantly asking about the girl from the hospital, he wants to learn more, he wants know more. He talks all the time about you, he says he feels like he's known you forever but he never got your name.

I've gotten most of my sight back but I want to come home. I can tell that Day misses the Republic too, he sometimes walks down the streets and asks if we go down a certain street will we be at Mom's house. I'm scared to tell him that she is gone, but it doesn't matter if she is gone because no matter what his mind wonders back to 'the two girls in his life.' You and Tess. Normally he just comes out and talks about Tess, but for you it is like figuring out a riddle. Some days it is easy, he refers to you as 'the dark haired girl'  or  'the one with the gold flecked eyes'. Other days it is much harder he starts sentences randomly saying things like, 'Do you remember her? You know the one with the sad eyes.' Or, 'She shattered when I spoke, she hid it well but her eyes told all.' If you can't tell already, he really likes to talk about your eyes.

He is still trying to find you, he might not know why yet but he points out girls in the street thinking they're you. This is probably a ton of information and you will most likely be in tears by the end of this, but you're strong I could tell just by seeing the reaction the day Day broke your heart. You always wanted what was best for him, it never mattered if  your ruined your life, as long as he was happy. But you need happiness in your life too, so in return for keeping him alive while I was gone I promise you I will return the light to your life. We're going to come back from Antartica the minute he remembers. Don't give up hope June, we're making progress.

Your Friend,

Eden Wing

I sat there and shed small silent tears, Eden was the reason I kept hope that my light would come home. Without Eden I would've moved on, I never give him any credit but he kept me going.

I slowly get up and walk out of my room, my apartment, I walk across the hall to the boy's place and walk right in knowing that they keep it unlocked. Eden is sitting on the couch and jumps up when I walked in. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him. "Thank you," I whisper as he wraps his arms around me.

"For what?" He whispers in my ear.

"For having hope when I didn't and for bringing my light back to me."

"Your welcome."

Hey Guys! Sorry for not updating for awhile, I've been busy I hope this long chapter makes up for it.
