Flesh of My Blood-Chp115

[the couple slept thru the night, or at least Hater did, n as the sun slowly rose, Hater was turning a bit in his sleep, his arm instinctively reaching ovr to spoon Wander]

(However all he felt was air)

Hater: [groped abt for a while, then realized he wasn't touching anything n slowly stirred] W-Wander...? [gets up] (yawn) Wander, where r u?

(There was no response from anywhere in the house from the star nomad)

Hater: [got off the bed n started looking everywhere] Wander? Wander, where are u? Wander?! [started to panic] WANDER!!

(In the kitchen, was a note left on the table)

Hater: [sees the note n quickly grabbed it to read it]

Note: To whoever reads this, don't worry about me. I just grabbed a mini ship from the mother ship and am going to be away for a while to clear my thoughts. Don't anyone try to go after me, don't anyone try to convince me to come back, this is all I ask. I just... need some space. Wander

PS, Hater, if you're reading this, this is why I didn't want to tell you cause I knew you'd try to stop me.

Hater: [gripping the note, trembling as he clenched his fist hard before he threw the note on the floor n let out a snarl of frustration before he sank to his knees, burying his head in his hands]

Peepers: (stepped in) (yawn) (notices Hater) :O (runs over, signing) Hater, what's going on? You okay?

Hater: [didn't reply, was pretty much a sobbing mess]

Peepers: (signs) Hater, talk to me! What happened?? (sees the note) :O

Hater: [doesn't reply, but gestured to the note he thrown aside]

Peepers: (reads it) ... (signs) This can't be good.

Hater: He... He could've just talked to me, tell me his intentions. I wouldn't hv stopped him. I would've understood! I thought he trusted me...!! ;(

Peepers: :( (signs) He does trust you. (holds him to comfort him)

Hater: Then why didn't he tell me? I would nvr hv stopped him! I might protest a little, bt ultimately I would've let him go n clear his head! Tht doesn't sound like trust to me!

Peepers: (holds him more, signing) Some people don't always think clearly in certain solutions...maybe that was why he didn't tell you...

Hater: [sighed] I guess ur sorta right... I just wish I would've earned the right to hear him out at least... I feel so useless tht he couldn't confide in me... I knew I should've pushed him to tell me wen I noticed him in deep thought...

Peepers: (think) (hears Janet stirring)

Janet: Nnnhh...? Wat's all the commotion abt? I wanted to sleep in n all...

Peepers: (signs) You didn't detect anything happening from last night?

Janet: (yawn) Yeah, I did. Some ship flying off me, but I was too depressed to care... :( Oh Wildie... [was still sad n mourning from the funeral]

Peepers: :(

Hater: [sniffles n gets up] I'll be at the nursery [walks off to the nursery to chk on the litter]

Peepers: (watches Hater leave) :( ... (signs) It was Wander who ran off.

Janet: Oh... [realized wat he just said] Wait, wat? O_O

Peepers: (holds up the note for her to see)

Janet: [read the note] Oh. Oh, Wandy-poo, u silly bupkiss...

Peepers: (signs) What?

Janet: A bupkiss, u know, an idiot, a fool, a simpleton...

Peepers: (signs) Right, okay. But what do we do?

Janet: I don't think there's much we CAN do. Wen Wandy-poo sets his mind on something, he will go thru with it no matter wat. Anyone who stops him is not gonna come out pretty. N it's his way of grieving, so I say just let him until he's ready. Don't push it

Peepers: (signs) I suppose...

Janet: He'll come bk wen he's ready. Dont worry

Peepers: (signs) Let's hope so.

[the rest of the day pretty much was somber n solemn, as ppl r still mourning ovr the loss of Wildflower, tho Wander disappearing n Hater staying in the nursery all day wasn't helping either]
