Thunderbirds Are Go One Shots

Reunion Pt 2

A/N: This is a quite depressing ode to grief that really wasn't what I planned for pt2 but oh well. Better than nothing.
Losing someone hurts like hell.
But losing a parent is utterly heart-shattering.
It feels like someone's ripped out a part of your soul and thrown it away, never to be seen again. Going from seeing someone all the time to never being able to see them again in a heartbeat breaks you beyond compare.
It's worse if you're still a kid.
You're confused, your entire life flipped upside down and the people you rely on break down in front of you. You have to be strong. Everyone tells you to let it out but you can't. You just can't.
That doesn't mean you don't feel sad though. As soon as people turn away and you're left to your thoughts the grief overcomes you and you can't cope. So you try not to think about it. Pretend it never happened.
The pain lessens slightly over time, but then your memories start to fade. You forget little things, important things and it kills you. Gradually, it kills you.
The worst part is if you never got to say goodbye. If the last thing you did together was argue. You blame yourself, but deep down you know there was nothing you could've done.

Alan never thought he'd see his father ever again. But he was glad that he was one of the very, very few who get their loved ones back. Many don't get that chance.

Hey, I updated! I can't promise I'll update again for a while coz I'm really not in a creative mood but I'll try. I found this easy to write because I've experienced something similar so I wasn't really writing from Alan's perspective it was more me ranting. Oh well. Hope y'all had a good day!
