Lost One Shots and Imagines

Penelope Widmore- Lost And Found (c)

Never had you imagined someone so close to you would be under such an amount of stress and pain. You best friend had lost her boyfriend, he wasn't dead (well as far as the two of you knew he wasn't) rather he had been on a boat trip around the world and had completely disappeared. Luckily for Penny she was from a wealthy family and could afford to search for him, but you hadn't had any luck so far in looking for Desmond. Granted her families wealth and he Fathers judgements were what had sent Desmond on his trip in the first place but hopefully they would save him from whatever he had gotten himself into.

It had been such a long time but somehow Penny was never able to give up hope, even if you couldn't really believe that there was any chance that Desmond had survived. You knew they loved each other dearly so it wasn't the case that he could have just up and left, but if his boat had crashed or something else had happened there wasn't much hope for him- not that you wanted to mention that to Penny.

For what had felt like a lifetime- granted it was more like a few months- with very few breaks only to stop for extra supplies you had been sailing with Penny and a crew to try and see if there could be any signs of Desmond's ship.

When you hadn't seen Penny for a while you headed to her room, knocking and opening the door to see Penny sat on the edge of her bed holding her head in her hands.

You made your way across the room taking a seat next to her on the bed. You reached a hand out to rest on her shoulder.

"Penny for your thoughts," You smiled softly.

She raised her head looking at you with a raised eyebrow in a suspect manner.

"What?" You smiled. "I'm hilarious."

Penny's eyes rolled at you, not appreciating the pun that you were quite proud of.

"What if we don't find him," she whispered.

"Then we'll get through that," you said firmly. "For all we know he is safe somewhere just waiting for you, that's all we can believe if we want to keep going. But if there is a day where you are ready to stop looking or we do find out something has happened to him, I'll be there to help you through it and we can handle that when it comes to it. But for now, don't think like that. All you have is your hope at the moment."

She smiled softly nodding her head. Penny seemed thoughtful for a moment but gave you a soft and caring look.

"Thank you."

"I promise you Penny, if we can find him we will. We will do anything in our power to find him, I promise you that."
