The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

I swallow, not saying anything more, and looking down again.

Lucian

I slide down to the floor and close my eyes.

Halee

I glance up at him before moving to sit next to him.

Lucian

I open my eyes and find her beside me. Not saying anything, I just study her image, sure it's not real.

Halee

I hesitate before bringing a hand to the side of his face, still not saying anything.

Lucian

She actually touches me and I find myself tearing up again, "Y-you left me."

Halee

I study him, "No...No, baby I didn't--" I stutter before moving my hand to one of his, "I just didn't like who I was."

Lucian

I send her an incredulous look, "Y-you didn't like who you were? Y-you had a family, Halee. Y-you..."

I swallow and shake my head, looking away from her.

Halee

I shake my head, "N-No...I meant who I actually was. Not any of... I loved who we were."

Lucian

I look at her, "And that justifies you leaving? That's what I'm supposed to tell our son?"

Halee

I look down, "You don't understand me, Lucian. You never did. This...this was a mistake," I glace back up at him before standing -or floating- again, "Bye."

Lucian

I never understood you? What the hell was the point of this then? I look away from her, a tear running down my cheek, but don't say anything in response.

Halee

I study him, arms crossed, before shaking my head and dissapearing.

Lucian

When she's gone, I bury my face in my arms again and let my emotions seep out. Did she even love me?

Halee

I go back to Blithes room and stay there, not planning to leave him anytime soon.
