Venice/How To Save A Life (Death Note Fanfiction)

Chapter 8 Haunted

"I have another idea for this problem."

"Go on."

"What if you take me somewhere else. We can go to a restaurant- really! It doens't have to be really fancy or anything. I just- want to go.. somewhere else." He waited a second and swollowed the remains of the bottle of beer he found in the fridge behind a week-old-vegetarian lasagna.

"Isn't this enough for you?"

"No." I sighed. "I like it here I just- want to go on adventure, you know. Explore the world. Be on vacation on a Tuesday for.. an hour or two."

"Try exploring the world in two hours.." He muttered.

"Don't say that. You didn't even try it yet." He leaned in alittle closer and lay his hands on my lap while he sat behind me. My eyes gazed the stream of light that came creeping from under the halve closed curtain and lightly carried dancing dust.

"We're fine."

Everytime he said that it seemed as if the world finally found peace. Like a cold breeze on your sweaty toes. Not sure what it meant entirely but the way he said 'We're' was more affective than any cheesy shakespeare quotes.

Head under water, keeps getting harder. Give em your medicine. Fame injection.

Not that it was a shakespeare quote but I'm sure a genius like him once felt the exact same way I felt. It was too simple. His lips carefully pressed on my shoulder behind me. I rubbed my thumb to his hand on my lap.

"We can explore the world some other time."

I almost choked on my breath. There was no one on the train but me, or so it seemed because no one said a word nor they lift up there head to stare at someone like what happened daily in the metro's of London. It was a boring ride. Not because nobody said something spectaculair out of nowhere but because I expected Light to send me a text full of questions why I left but that didn't happen. It's been months since I gave him my phone number and he hasn't send me anything. If I knew his number I probably sent him already another list of songs he HAD to listen to.

Does he find me annoying?

I suddenly thought. The probability of Light using me was likely. Ofcourse, I'm sure he attempted to make himself look innocent when I was playing dress up and now that he doesn't need me anymore he won't give me attention. Since the day I invited him to my house, and on some point my room, his personality changed almost unnoticable. As if I got to meet the real Light but because he's still Kira I'm guessing he wants to avoid contact with me because L has seen us alittle too close together. I think he wants to let it behind himself so he could use other girls without getting in trouble... I breathed. The more I thought about it the more I was greatful for Light for doing that. I have to let him go. If I go on with these stupid actions I'll get myself in trouble.

My eyes followed the curves of the figures that were racing with the train. Run as fast the opposite derection.

"We're fine." - Shakespeare quote number 64.

That evening I showered, cleaned my room and put on my nirvana shirt.

"Lose weight fast and easy with the new twistNshape! Do you want those sexy abs? Easy! All you have to do is exercise ten to twenty minutes a day and it will get you there!-" The blond bimbo on my flatscreen tv was annoying beyond measure. I sat to the heater with my fifth cup of lemon tea. Toulouse rubbed her small furry head to my naked leg asking for attention.

"You've been doing that quite alot lately."

"Doing what?"
