Suffering by J.M. Gregoire
It is still
relatively early, and as soon as I settle on the couch, boredom sets in. Normally, this would be when I would call Dez
to see if she wanted to come over or go out somewhere. Ever since she pulled her disappearing act
four and a half months ago, I haven’t heard from her at all. I tried being angry with her at first, but it
didn’t last. I knew why she left, and
had I been in the same situation, I probably would have done the same.
One thing is for sure. I miss her.
Moments like these are the ones that make me understand just how much I
love having her in my life. Take this
one, for instance. She would laugh at me
for allowing the demon to take me down like that. She would fire some smartass comment at me
about being a big, bad vampire with ‘professional assassin’ on my resume, and
yet I couldn’t possibly have fallen for a more obvious trap. Long dark alley, the scent of the demon, but
no demon in sight. Why I kept walking
when I should have gone up top for a better view, I’ll never know. She would be right. Maybe I
am a little more distracted than I was willing to admit.
Well, I give.
Dez being gone is really starting
to get to me. All of autumn, an entire
season, has passed without a word, and I start to question whether I made the
right choice in leaving her to do her thing.
What if she needs my help? What
if I’m making the wrong assumption that she wants
to be left alone? What if she ends up
hating me for not contacting her? For
not following her? What if she already
does?
The questions start to pile up,
just like every other night I am left with too much time to think. Try as I might, no amount of sighing will
clear the thoughts overcrowding my head, making it impossible to relax.
