Chapter Twenty Eight - Shane
2050
"No, it can't be true. She has to be lying. How could a coincidence like that even be possible?" I thought, refusing to believe her, refusing to be mocked and ridiculed.
I was speechless. I didn't know what to say or do. I was sat next to someone that I somehow thought I could trust, someone that I somehow thought was special.
But no, she thought I was a joke. I thought she was different to everyone else, it looks like I was wrong.
I don't know how long I was silent for but somewhere in my house, I could hear feet shuffling across the floor, creeping down the stairs and walking out the front door without a word. I couldn't focus properly, my senses felt foggy and disconnected- a strange sensation, one that I later associated with being hit around the head. It wasn't for quite some time that I was released from my trance and realised that the feet belonged to Kaitlyn. I felt the kind of loneliness that I had become accustomed to in her absence.
This time however, it was different. This time I remained there for what could have been hours, numb to time, numb to sounds, sights and smells, the only thing I could feel was the ache in my chest.
I ached for Kaitlyn, I ached for her comforting closeness, I ached for the sound of her laugh and the sight of her smile.
But I knew it was foolish to ache for someone who did not ache for me.
Someone who's only ache would be the one in her stomach from laughing so much at my expense.
