Memories

Pen sat at the edge of a bed.

It was his old bed before he moved out of the house, the walls were plain white, light barely entered the room, the curtains seemed to be untouched for months.

There wasn't much in that room, only a bed, a desk, and two chest of drawers.

Pen held his hand, the one that got a bit burnt by the substance he picked up in the woods.

There wasn't any blood, but there were marks left behind, he seemed to stare at them, lost in thought.

"Are you sure you'll all be alright?", Pen asked as he held a box.

"Of course we'll be fine! Well, we will miss you, but we'll all be in one piece!", Bottle exclaimed.

"I just, feel like I'm going to miss a lot while I'm gone.", Pen said.

"You're talking like you're going to another state, you can literally visit any time.", Liy said "And, we will keep your room the way it is, in case you ever want to stay here for a bit someday.", Tree added, he held a box as well.

"I'll keep that in mind!", Pen said happily.

There was a knock at the door.

Pen didn't say anything but the door slowly creaked open anyways.

"You doing okay?", someone asked from the small opening.

Pen turned towards the door a bit, he caught a glimpse of Pillow "You can come in.", he said in a low voice.

Pillow walked into the dark room and gently closed the door, she went over and sat next to him on the bed "Do you want to talk about what you saw earlier?", she asked, Pen stayed silent.

"It's okay if you don't want t-"She died.", Pen cut Pillow off "I should've stayed, I should've been here to help.", Pen continued "Maybe none of this would've happened if I was here to do something.", he said, his voice began to sound shaky as tears dripped onto his palms.

Pillow sighed "Pen, it's okay.", she said "No. It's not okay Pillow. She... she wasn't right in the head, I could've been here to talk to her, try to comfort her but I wasn't here Pillow, I was worrying about myself more than others, I should've been here after BlackHole died. I should've realized that someone else could've gotten hurt as well. Actually, I should've stayed after y-...", Pen paused as he looked at Pillow "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you.", he mumbled "Pen, please, it's alright, you had your own dreams, and, I don't think you could've prevented any of those deaths. Please don't blame yourself for not being here, you never know what would've happened if you stayed or not, maybe it could've been worse or better, either way it happened in the past and it can't be fixed.", Pillow said.

Pen looked down at the carpet, he giggled a bit "You're not very good at this.", he said as tears continued to roll down his face, but he had a small smile "Oh gosh I'm sorry, I never really dealt with this and-"It's okay it's okay, I'm just glad that you're trying.", Pen said.

A small smile soon grew on Pillow's face as well "I hope you know that they are still here.", Pillow said "Yeah, I know.", Pen said, his smile fell weak "And, they are happy that you care for them, but, they would rather you take care of yourself and the people around you than feel bad over what might've happened if you were still here.", Pillow continued, Pen sighed "Thanks.", he said with the small smile growing once again on his face, he stopped crying a bit as Pillow gave him a hug.
