Raining Tears

Chapter 12 - Run

☆ Madelyn ☆

I run and run and run. My legs beating faster and faster.

My cheeks wet with burning tears. Tears that will burn my up, until I am lost in them.

She left us.

I run harder.

Ellie left us.

I run past the people on the sidewalk, not paying attention to who I run into.

She left me.

I knock someone on the ground.

Ellie left me.

I don't know where I am, but as I look around, I find myself in a graveyard.

This is where you'll be Elle. You're gonna rot in the ground.

I laugh, and fall onto my knees. The laughing slowly turns to crying.

I lay my head on the grass, letting my tears fall and water the ground.

I cry and cry and cry and cry. I start to hiccup frantically.

I feel the loss like a wave rolling over me. I feel it strongly, then it settles down, and I feel like it might be over. But it comes raging back again. And it's never going to stop.

Missing Ellie is never going to stop.
