Chapter 19

Unspoken Words

Howdy folks,

I surprisingly got the required number of comments but I didn't update this fanfic last week because I was sort of busy...Hopefully you'll forgive me for not doing what I said I would do and continue to support this fanfic as well as myself. This update is shorter than the previous just because I didn't want to put too much into one update.

This fanfic is slowly coming to an end and, I don’t know how to end it...cause things still linger on, nothing can just fade with time...
Please enjoy...

Recap:

Previously, Ron had his walk with Leila and told her how he felt...regretting every word he walked back to his sanctuary, the library where a friend sees him. She sits down beside him and tries to comfort him...

~ Into the fanfic~

Ron covered his face with both hands to avoid her from seeing his tears...he didn’t understand why he was getting so emotional...

Linda placed her hand upon his shoulder: It’ll be alright...

The two of them spent an hour or so in silence. There was a lot he wanted to tell Linda about how he felt after the conversation he had with Leila, but he just couldn’t. Linda knew that forcing him to speak would be futile and so, she sat there by his side going through her readings and whatnots. But once in a while she would turn to look at him and she could tell that he was beating himself up inside for probably saying things that he would never say.

Finally she decided to break the silence between them...

Linda: Ron...what’s done is done, you don’t really think you can go back in time, do you?

Ron looked at her, his eyes red and filled with tears: No

Linda: Then what’s the point of sitting here and beating yourself up inside?

Ron: There isn’t

Linda: Then?

Ron: This is the only thing I can do...

Linda: And you wonder why Leila broke up with you

Ron: What do you mean?

Linda: Look at you, you’re a total mess, you’re not even acting like a man. You should move on, like she did

Ron: It’s not as simple as you think it is...you just don’t understand

Linda: Why won’t you tell me then? Help me understand your situation so that I won’t get so infuriated by looking at you sobbing

Ron: You want to understand? You want to know why I can’t move on?

Linda: Yes...

Ron: Just imagine you had nothing and all of a sudden everything you ever wanted just entered your life all at once, happiness, love...everything...then months later...all of that is gone, you’re back to zero, nothing...and actually you feel even worse than before because you finally understood what all of it meant...you finally had the chance to taste happiness and enjoyed its sweet aroma...and when it was gone...you tasted the bitterness like you’ve never tasted it before...

Linda: Ron...I’m...

Ron: Please, don’t say sorry...

Linda: Even though I’ve never gone through what you have, I still think that you could move on...not right away or anything, but slowly...

Ron: I know...but not now...even though that bitter taste is there, the sweetness is still lingering...I can’t just forget about it...

Linda: but, promise me...that you’ll try?

Ron: I’ll try...but it’s not a promise...

Linda: Good enough for me, for now anyways...well it’s getting late, I’m gonna get going then...

She closed her books, got up and started walking away

Ron: Wait!

Linda turned around: Ya?

Ron: Thanks...I feel a lot better now...

Linda smiled: No problem, next time I’ll think about lending you my shoulder

Finally a smile appeared on Ron’s face

Ron: Thanks for the offer...bye

Linda: Bye

~ On the other side of campus~

Leila: So, are you really going to walk me home?

Bosco: Isn’t that what I’m doing now?

Leila: We’ve only been circling the campus for a few hours...and...I’m actually kind of tired...

Bosco pouted: You’re not enjoying the weather, or is it my company?

Leila smiled: Don’t be silly (she hugged him) I love being with you

Bosco: Well, if you’re getting tired, I could just carry you home

Bosco handed Leila the umbrella that he was holding and suddenly lifted her off the ground and into his arms.

Bosco: You’re heavier than you look

Leila: Are you calling me fat?

Bosco shook his head and looked at her intently: You’re perfect the way you are...I love you

Leila pinched his cheeks: you’re so cute when you try to be serious

Bosco: Is that so?

Leila smiled: Yup...by the way I like the smell of the laundry detergent you use...it smells nice

Bosco laughed: So, I look cute when I’m serious and I smell nice? I’m going to take note of that...maybe add it onto my resume

Leila laughed: You should...you never know, the employer might like people who have a good taste in laundry detergent?

~ Library~

He was still sitting there, listening to his music and thinking about all the things that had happened. The day seemed longer than it should...and he felt physically and emotionally tired. Maybe Linda was right, he should just stop beating himself up for what he said, it was the past...something he couldn’t change. It was a fact that he couldn’t go back in time...he wasn’t a physics expert, or a mad scientist for that matter. All he knew was how to write poems, and express himself through unspoken words...and so he did...

If I walked a thousand miles in your shoes
Would I understand?
Would I be able to understand you?

Would I still have to face the reality?
Of seeing you walk away
Of seeing you leave me?

Would I still be sitting here?
With tears streaming down my face,
With anger raging through my veins,
Would I?

I’ve probably made mistakes and
So I’ve tried to make amends
But nothing I do seems to work
And so, is this our end?

Is there nothing more to us?
Than fragments of memories
Pieces of shattered hope
Masked with false promises
Moments frozen in time
Where there was
You and I, us...

His pen left his notebook as he stared at his unfinished poem...he didn’t know what to write...and only hoped that this poem could eventually end on a much happier note.

He got up from where he was sitting and decided it was time to head home...

============

Well, that was it...short and to the point...I think. I'm not sure if the poem I wrote for this update truly captured how he felt...but...hopefully it's close..

Once again please comment, 6 or more before another update, hopefully not a delayed update lol
