He's Here [Asa Butterfield fan fic]

Chapter 34

=I'm gonna tell you when you will play the music=

Dianne's POV

"Dad! I'm home!" I shout from the living room.

     I just came home from a 2-day sleepover with my friends at a small camping site in town. It was a week now after the graduation. Lana and Reign are leaving for college so Reign decided to have at least one last squad trip.

     As for me, May, and Ana, we're still making sure we are gonna choose the right decision. You start making a plan for the rest of your life, one mistake and it might ruin your reputation or whole life.

"Dad?" I walk to the kitchen. There was a yellow note on the table. It read:

"Dianne, you know your mom went to work today. She said she'll be back home around midnight. My co-workers called me around 3 that means I went to work too. I will be home maybe the same as your mom.

-Dad"

     So I'll be home alone for like 6 hours? Ha. I haven't been home alone for a long time. I already miss someone's company.

     First things first, it's already 6 o' clock; time for dinner. What should be my dinner? My parents should have left something for me to eat.

     "Thanks dad." I said in a sarcastic tone. I closed the refrigerator and opened the pantry. Nah, same old crackers and chips. Guess I gotta cook food for myself. Omelet it is.

~~~

     I placed the empty plate, spoon and fork in the sink and washed it with running water. I put it in the dishwasher next. I rest my back on the counter and my hands placed on the edge.

     The living room was the only place where the light is on; moonlight illuminated the kitchen. My hand brush my cheek as I remember that time when he put some antiseptic on my cuts and ice on my bruises.

I sighed and drank a glass of water.

     I sat on the couch and raise my feet to the table. I reached for the remote beside me and turned the TV on. "Maybe there's some shows worth watching." I said. 10 minutes already passed, I continued to switch through different channels.

     I eventually ended up with a movie I recognized. I grabbed a pillow beside me to hug it while watching. Wait a minute... that's why it was so familiar, it's 'The Space Between Us'. For some reason, I think I can relate with this movie. My relationship with the blue-eyed British boy.

     An hour went by and the movie just finished. I turned the TV off and went upstairs. My stuff that I used in camping was still beside the couch. I'll unpack it tomorrow in the morning.

~~~

     The house stayed silent, only my own breathing, the crickets and the wind outside can be heard. It was also very dark too since I didn't light up my room.

     I laid in my bed, not knowing what to do. I swing my feet at the edge of the bed. "Only need the light when it's burning low. Only miss the sun when it starts to snow..." I start to sing softly.

"Love comes slow and it goes so fast..." [I skipped some parts cause its too long]

I checked the clock beside me; 10:30?

     "I'm gonna have a shower." I get out of bed and grabbed a towel. I had a shower and brushed my teeth as well. After that, I put on a large white shirt and pajamas. No bra since it needs to be free.

     I was about to go inside my room after closing the light outside the rooms when I glimpsed outside the glass door of the terrace. A feeling came up to me, pushing me to go outside there where we used to be every night.

     I pushed the sliding glass door aside and stepped outside barefoot. I instantly felt the chilly breeze but it didn't stop me to go on.

[PLAY MUSIC]

     It was bright here, the stars and the moon can be seen clearly. Some clouds are scattered.

     Memories rushed through my mind as I rest my elbows on the barrier. Our conversations here, when he almost kissed me. *chuckles* "Ah, I missed those times."

     Then I remember those things that he truthfully said to me. Especially the things he said to me back at the park when he was leaving.

"You know that I really love you so much Dianne, right? But I'm gonna miss you so much too when I leave." "I will do everything just to be with you again. To see that perfect face of yours. Hold your hands when your nervous, wrap you in my arms when your cold. To do everything we love every day for the rest of our lives."

"I'll sail or even swim the seas, I'll go around the world just for you. To be by your side." He kisses my lips for a second. "Your so beautiful Dianne, too bad I won't be seeing it for a while." He chuckles but looks at me straight again.

"When I leave, just look at the stars. By that, those shining stars will remind you of me, of us. And remember always, we look at the same stars every night before going to sleep."

~~~

     I hid my face on my arms as I cried. I felt tears continue to fall. "I miss you, Asa." I sniffled.

     I took a breath and raised my head. It must have been 30 minutes ever since I went here. I walked inside, my hand slowly brushing the wall before.

     I laid in my bed and covered myself. " *sigh* What a day." And with that, I drifted to deep sleep.
