How do you respond to feelings of loneliness?
He listlessly poked through his PSP games, looking for something that would hold his interest, and finally gave up with a sigh. He'd already tried three different ones. Nothing was working. His copious CD collection seemed just as unappealing. He could put his mp3 player on shuffle and not have to try to choose anything, but he didn't think that would distract him at all.
Without concious thought, his fingers lifted his cellphone from the nightstand by his bed. A wistful smile crossed his face as he skimmed through old text messages. He'd saved all of them, as sappy as that was. It was all he had.
It had only been a couple months since he'd left, but it seemed like forever. Would things ever be normal again? Would they be coming back?
Would he ever see him again?
He closed his eyes as he came to the last message. The end. No more. No more shy flirty comments, innocent inuendos. No more "I <3 u"s.
His fingers moved, opening a new message. He shouldn't--contact was dangerous. They were hiding. But he had to. He really did.
