oOo
“Bella!”
 
I ignore her, my focus solely on the train as it rolls away. I wonder if he might be there, on the end of its travels.
 
He left me behind, hopping the train, bag in hand as he started his new life.
 
“I have to go. I’m sorry, baby.”
 
I knew he was gone. No chance of return.
 
The funeral is today, but I keep thinking that if I just hop on that train, I can find him again.
 
Alice wraps her arms around me, her panting breath swirling white.
 
She whispers, “Bella…I’m so sorry.”
 
I finally succumb.
