Endless

Chapter 11

I fell into the water. It sucked me in no matter how hard I try to reach the surface. I drowned.

What would have happened if I asked you not to go?

What kind of face would you make?

it haunts me everynight, mom. 

it haunts me when I look at dad. 

It haunts me that you left this sorry place that we call home. 

In a way I did understand. 

I just brushed it off and decided not to think any deeper. 

I get scared that one day I'll be like dad too. 

I get scared that I'll be like you too. 

I get scared at the fact that I want to run away as well. 

But the thing is

that's the difference between you and I.

You have somewhere to go and i don't 

I hate that.

I hate that when I look at everything else I think that they would crumble.

When I look at Claude I feel something uncomfortable.

My stomach feels weird.

It makes me all jitery

I don't want that.

I don't want what you and dad used to have.

I don't want the love both of you spoke so proudly of.

I don't want any of it.

"You've been acting strange." Claude softly muttered making me snap back to reality.

I stared at his face while he was putting food on my plate.

"Don't want." I grimaced and pulled my plate away from him.

"Don't want." Claude said imitating my voice.

My hand instinctively pinched the side of his stomach in annoyance.

"Stop it!" He laughed in pain.

"Stop it!" I copied while making a face.

He stared at my face in disbelief and laughed.

I smiled at his reaction and decided to eat.

"Man, that was hilarious." He wiped imaginary tears from the side of his eyes.

"I'm funny too." I defended myself. I stared at his plate and realized that I ate all of my food. He still had more.

"Of course you are." He saw me eyeing his share and willingly pushed his plate towards me.

"Thank you." I took a bite. "I didn't ask for it though.

He looked offended.

"My dear Diana. Stop being this way."

I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"... you can be a bit stiff sometimes too." Claude whispered.

"Hm?" I asked. He only shook his head.

"Eat faster. Next class is about to start." I nodded and tried to eat faster.

He reached out and wiped the side of my mouth.

I froze at his gesture.

I wiped the side of my lips again.

"Don't do that." I said with a straight face.

"Don't do what?" He asked amused.

Don't cross the line.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"We're a bit moody today aren't we."

"I guess."

"Let's walk home together."

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

He sighed at my question.

"I want to walk with you." I raised my brow at him.

He's being awfully clingy today.

"I'll come over for dinner." I proposed. "You should go ahead."

"I have to go to the library." I added when he didn't say anything.

Or to be clear I have to go to Penelope.
