The Yule Ball was a blast. Derrik and Tala made up quiet a bit of time in just one night. They both made a promise to each other that things would change for the better. They would try to see each other more and make sure that things were alright. Sadly, it seemed that it wasn't coming true.
It had been a while since the two of them had met. Derrik was grateful that he got to take the love of his life to the event. But it seemed that it was the only chance he would have. Classes came back to swamp the both of them. Derrik hated how this always happened.
He decided to walk around the school. Almost everywhere Derrik went, he saw Tala. He's stare at once spot and he would just appear. That cheery smile, the glow in his eyes, that hair, oh and that Russian fudge scent that seemed to follow him. A tear feel from Derrik's eyes before he walked out into the school grounds outside.
Walking aimlessly he found himself near the place where they both first met. It felt as thought the pair met for the first time. Another vision appeared in Derrik's eyes. The both of them just wrestling around in the grass. A smile spread upon Derrik's face as ice cold tears began falling from both eyes. Derrik sat and watched the whole scene. "Has it really been that long since it all started?"
"Yes...it has. I know how you feel about him. You need to go find him. You can't stay this way." Derrik's inner voice was trying to comfort him.
"That's what you think. I can stay anyway that I chose."
"But that doesn't mean you can go without eating so much as a crumb for days!" Derrik moved inward to hide himself as if it would do anything. He didn't know how to control his emotions.
"Show's how much you know...just leave me alone." And the voice faded away. Derrik was left alone; that was the way he wanted to be right now.
