Herc's POV~ (one week from Herc leaving~)
I received a letter. I know, old fashion right.? But I never realized that I left it in plan sight. I've told all my professors that I would be leaving. I would be leaving mostly till next year. The only one that doesn't know is Laf. I feel horrible. But, I have to. He will find someone else; and the lil squad will definitely find someone new real quick. After all, I'm very replaceable. It doesn't matter with who, just anyone I meet and I leave for at least a day, they replace me quick. Anyways, I never realized I left that letter somewhere so easy to read. So accessible. That was my mistake. That mistake is the worst thing that I could've done; leave it out in the open for anyone to see. I'm surprised Laf hasn't come ripped my head off yet, yelled at me. But he hasn't done anything yet.... does he know? And just not care? I can't get attached. Probably when I get back, they either won't remember me, have replaced me, or Laf will show me his new boyfriend or girlfriend. I wish I would've been prepared for the tears, the yelling, the disappointment in his voice. Why do I know this? Because when I walked into the room, I met with a tear stained Laf, holding the letter. He screamed at me,
"Why didn't you tell me you were being drafted?!"
...I didn't know being yelled at hurt so much until it came from the one I love. That was my mistake. Letting him get hurt. By me.
