The school day seemed to drag on and on. I just wanted to go home and see him again. Finally after the school day ended, I went home and fell fast asleep on the couch.
I woke up underneath the tree. I sat up and frantically looked around for him. He was no where in sight. In a state of panic, I stood up and walked around screaming his name. Hope diminished as the dream dragged on. I ran out of the forest and towards his house. I burst through the door.
"HELLO??!" I screamed. "WHERE ARE YOU??"
I panicked when no respronse came. I looked in each room of the house. Each one was empty, only the furniture, that was starting to collect dust, remained.
There was one place left where I could search. I ran out of his house. The day faded into night. I ran through the empty town. Shops were abandoned, silence filled the once lively town. I ran into the field right outside of the town. It grew darker and darker.
I saw the abandoned school hidden behind some trees in the open field. I approached with caution.
I entered the dark and empty building. It was much scarier going in alone and at night, but I had to find him. I couldn't live without him. We went here every so often. He had to be here. I passed the dark classrooms as I walked down the hall. I looked in each classroom, making sure nothing was there.
At a quick glace, I saw a figure in one of the classrooms. I stopped and turned my head over. A little girl was standing there, sobbing.
"What is this.... who is this....what do i do...?" My mind swarmed with confusion. I cautiously approach her. I kneel down.
She quickly lifted her head up and stared deep into my eyes. Her eyes were all white and bleeding. I freezed in my spot. The girl faded away into nothing. I was spooked and stood up quickly. I backed out of the room, bumping into something. I turned around. A tall dark looming man stood behind me. He put his hands on my shoulders and started to dig his fingers into my skin. I squirmed and tore away from him in fear. My shoulders were now bleeding. I ran down the hall screaming.
"PLEASE! JUST COME OUT! I'M DONE PLAYING AROUND! LET ME SEE YOUR FACE. LET ME KNOW YOU'RE OKAY AND THERE, SO THAT I CAN LEAVE THIS CREEPY PLACE!" My voice echoed through the empty hallways and classrooms. "please.." I whisper.
I collapse on the ground and started to cry. He was gone. He was gone and I never got to tell him how I felt. I'm forced to deal with the demons in my mind alone. My cries grew louder and filled the school with noise.
I woke up. I felt my face. It was wet from tears. Had I been crying?
I sat up in bed. It was only 3 am, but I had no intention of going back to sleep. I felt drained. He was gone. Gone from my life. Why? Why did he abandon me?
I got up and got my sketchbook. I turned on the light and began to sketch out his face. I smiled and cried as I drew him. I missed him. I couldn't live without him, but apparently he can live without me. Otherwise, he would've never left.
