0113: Loss and a Puppy

Bobby's gone. I'm going to miss him an awful lot. I already do.

And he left me this.

Gage

His name is Gage and I... I never had a pet or anything like that. Except our horse, but that's, well, Mat mostly takes care of her and he's responsible and good and I don't know if I can take good care of something like this. I really love him already, but what if I'm not any good at taking care of him and mess everything up? I don't want to hurt him 'cause I don't do things right.

I don't know if Bobby should have trusted me like this.

I think they all did, but at least here they could do other things and not just worry.

Probably.

But I'm just going to hope he's happy anyway.

So will I.

I'm Anna, what's your name?

It's nice to meet you, Rain, I didn't know Bobby had a lot of friends here.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know much about his friends, but he was always very nice to me.

And I snuck in to see him when he was in the hospital. At night when no one much was around.

That's a real nice thing to do. Hospitals are lonely places, I'm sure he enjoyed it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
He did. I think it surprised him, 'cause he knows I don't like places like that.

But I didn't want him to be all alone.

Alone's the worst part, especially at night when it gets quiet.

I guess that was awhile ago, it didn't sound like he was ill when I arrived.

Yes, back when everyone was getting sick.

I was lucky, I was just fine.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
There was like... a plague?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. It was from a sort of curse thing - bugs and stuff gave people diseases.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
...that was actually how the Black Plague was spread, but never mind. just one happy thin after another, huh?

Glad to hear you were okay.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. It would have been hard to watch out for people if I was sick too.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Very hard. I remember when I used to get sick, my Mom... she would always take really good care of me.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't...

Until I got sick here one time, I don't remember anyone taking care of me when I was sick.

You didn't have parents when you were a kid? Not even foster parents or guardians?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
My mom... She was, she was killed when I was little.

And my dad... he didn't like me much.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... really sorry to hear that. Do you have any people back home you can rely on?

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Just you? I... wow, I'm sorry doesn't seem to quite cover it.

Guess being here is a good thing for you, then.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I... can kinda empathize with that.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to stay, too?

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, yeah. Most of the time really. There's... just not much for me to go back to that I'm looking forward to, you know?
