Cade

" You know, when you first left, I thought the worse. I thought you had died, Mica." I said rather calmly, surprising the boy sitting across from me. But the surprise quickly faded away from his features.
All that came from him after the shock was a simple," You thought wrong." Now it was my turn to be surprised. I looked at him- Long blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and the jacket he wore the day he went missing, or rather more, left - and realizations came to me. I was right. The mica I knew did die that day. What was left of him sat in the shell of what once was the boy in front of me.
