Entry #0040
Dear Journal,
A beautiful sight of falling leaves had welcomed me. I spun around to have a great view of my surroundings. I was inside of an unending garden tunnel. Autumn was evident anywhere.
I smiled but, it also faded when I noticed the pair of eyes that was observing me from a few meters of distance. The guy had shown up again. He was also wearing white like me.
He broke into tears like the last time. There was a smile on his lips, saying that he was happy. He was smiling but, his eyes were telling the opposite.
Seeing those tears, it felt like something made a deep whole inside me. Seeing him hurting pained me.
'Why?' I asked to myself, out of overflowing confusion.
He crossed the distance between us and embraced me. He was unfamiliar, yet his warmth told me that he was not. The comfort that I found inside his arms, it felt like it was the most precious thing I had been longing for.
'Why?' I also wanted to ask him.
"Abby," he whispered my name.
The throbbing pain in my chest had worsened. I hugged him back tightly with the hope that he was the only one who could heal the pain. I was afraid to lose him.
"Why, Josh? W-why?"
- Abby
