It’s been about a week since the incident and I’ve had a eerie feeling about the guys ever since that day. It’s a saturday and I woke up in a good mood, Sam has been using his powers to slowly heal my leg. After today I can walk without the crutches, I grab my crutches and rush my way to the living room. I am barely using my crutches at this point so I decide to wake up Sam by sitting on his chest and whispering “wake up I wanna go for a walk” he finally opened his eyes and attempted to shove me off of him. Then I slip down a little and start leaning my back on him “come oooon” and I start pushing on his chest like a little kid would do to wake their parents on christmas morning. He finally starts to sit up and I crawl onto the spot next to him and throw my leg into his arms chanting “come on come on” he lays his hand on my leg and emits a pink aura from his hands. In a instant My leg is completely healed and I jump off the couch and accidentally fell over the coffee table onto the other couch and landed on top of Lavender. I give a happy sigh and Lavender easily lifts me up by the under arms and sets me beside him. Sam looks fed up with me and sighs, then he pulls out his phone and makes a few disturbing calls. The only thing I hear on each call is “hey come on over we can tell her now” and each time he says it I get a deeper pit in my stomach every time. I can’t help but stare at him with each call that goes down. After he makes the final call one by one my friends start appearing in my living room with a grim face. I finally burst into tears crying out “what haven’t you guys told me? Why have you kept secrets?” that’s when Lavender hugged me from behind and whispered “we have to leave for a while” I couldn’t fathom what he just said and I just sat there. My feelings were a jumble and Kye says something to make it worse “we all got called by our families to come home for a while” I suddenly stopped crying and looked up. I knew that they had their own families, not just me, so they had to go. I wiped my cheeks and stood up “I understand, I can’t rely on you guys all the time so please enjoy your time with them. Don’t forget about me though, I will be waiting for all of you to come back” they all started hugging me one by one and they had more tears than me. After we said our goodbyes they vanished into thin air right before my eyes, the last one left was Sebastian before he said anything he handed me something in a brown paper bag and told me to read the note after he was gone. I hugged him with a great squeeze and he vanished from my arms leaving me all alone.

ONE YEAR LATER…

It’s been almost a year since all my friends, my family have left me behind. A few months after they left me I fell into a deep depression and wasn’t motivated to do much, I still got financial support from them but they never sent me letters. After a while of being cooped up in my apartment I started to feel numb to my emotions, I went for a walk around town and found a job to keep me busy. My job was at a small shop that sold pottery but I recently got fired because I wasn’t passionate about anything and I couldn’t get people excited to buy our works of art. It is three days until exactly a year has passed since they left, I am tidying up my apartment, every time I clean up I find at least one of their feathers tucked away somewhere. This time it was Sam’s bright red feather stuck in the couch cushion, I decide I want to keep this one for old times sake. After I tuck the feather into my pocket I straighten my throw blanket and puff the pillows. I stare at my dinning table with empty eyes and remember all the times we ate there as a group, we will never eat together again. I walk past the table and head into my kitchen, when I open the fridge I see some eggs I bought. I quickly scrambled my eggs and sat down to eat, while I am looking around I puff out a breath and touch the seat next to me and question why they left. Everything is tasteless or bitter these days, I don’t enjoy anything at all. When I am washing off my plate I hear someone knock and I head over to see who it was. Mark is standing before me with a bag of small stuffed animals “hey, I thought you might enjoy cuddling with these little guys” my expression is blank and my eyes are cold “I know your still having a hard time so if you want to talk please let me know, I am right next door” I thank him for the stuffed animals and shut the door. He has been giving me a bunch of stuffed animals lately, before it was different kinds of food and before that it was flowers. I place the stuffed animals on my red couch and look through them, A plush red cardinal catches my eye. It has black bead eyes and a soft tuff of hair on it’s head. All I can seem to sat is “cute”, I set it on the window sill and finish cleaning my dishes from breakfast. Two days pass by in a flash and I find myself walking on the outskirts of town, I am near the bridge gateways. The bridges intersect and twist and turn above a large river that passes into the ocean a little ways down, I already decided my fate and what was to come of me. I am on the first level of bridges making my way to the second, It’s almost night time when I reach the third level of bridges. I make my way to the center of the bridge and sit on the ledge “I know they aren’t coming back… they left… I can’t even feel sad anymore” I turned my gaze down at the water bellow and the sun is setting. I take a deep breath and lean forward, I fall off the ledge and start plummeting down further and further. The only thought that ran through my head was “i wish i had never met you” I felt the cold wind rushing up and I turned my back to the water. I wait for the fall to end while staring into the night sky where all the stars lay, I see the bright stars and shadows of cars passing by. The water was fast approaching and I know my only regret in life was that I saved that bird from my parents house. My back hits the water and shoots pain through my body, the only sensation I felt was pain and darkness.
