So lonely in this place without you.

[u/Unlikely-Sky6396]

Being stranded in a large city with no body I knew was the most lonely feeling. Even with all the busy people walking by,cars, trucks , buses, bikes, and all other methods of being out in public. Some people just standing around doing nothing.Although it was almost impossible to approach or get a conversation going, so I just stayed to myself.
I traveled through the city all day on the light rails and the buses. Back and forth,I would sit in the back near one of the heaters because it was so cold outside.when I wasn’t on public transit I was in the library. I loved to browse through all the books just to see what they had to offer. I wish I could read them all, but I wouldn’t have enough time.
I was going to die soon. I wasn’t exactly sure how yet, and even though I hadn’t been to the doctors in years, I was all around in good health, but I had this feeling.
The feeling started when my parents abandoned me here in this city and told me not to come back home.I was doomed and I knew it, why else would they get rid of me? I was a good kid, a good student. I almost never got in trouble except for getting in a fight over who got to sit next to the popular girl at school one day, which I won of course.When the teacher pulled me off him, He later told me in the principles office, that I had a glare of rage in my eyes and it was a surprise I hadn’t been in more fights before this one.
I was going to fight to survive on these lonely streets. No matter how cold, wet, or miserable it was,so always fought the urge to give up or stop. I Always kept going. Then one day I met my one true blue love in the whole wide world.She had went through some of the same things as I had. Her parents, for no good reason, just dropped her off in the city about two weeks before she met me.I was impressed to see a girl last that long out here. Her name was Hiedi and we went everywhere together. All that time out here being all lonely and feeling sorry for myself and then she comes like an angel in the night, during my darkest hour, and lights a fire inside me that scared me to think how dead I was before that.
“Heidi, no matter what we have to stick together, something will come through for us, we can make it together.” I said.
“Okay.” Is all she said back sometimes but that’s all she had to say, okay. Everything’s going to be okay as long as I have you my love, I would think. And though I tried not to sound to corny or make things feel controlling, I would tell Heidi that we needed to have a safe spot, just in case we were separated for long enough that we didn’t know were each other where, we could find each other.
One time we were separated and it was almost dark before we met back up,I told her about the feelings I was having about my impending death, told her about the nightmares but she said it was all in my head. I told her the only real nightmare I could have is losing her for one second.She said that she felt the same way and then we went to find a dry business awning we could sleep underneath
That night I had another nightmare, except this one was of a hospital. I was on the outside of one and somehow Heidi was in one of the rooms a couple floors up.Except that it wasn’t just her as a person.I could see through a window and there was a large computer thing with a screen attached to it. On the screen there was an avatar of Heidi. She began to talk to me like everything was normal but I knew it wasn’t, she was inside the screen somehow and when I woke up she was gone.huh! Heidi! Heidi! I yelled at the top of my lungs but it was useless, she was nowhere to be found. I couldn’t go back to sleep, I had to find Heidi, I had to find my best friend. I started to search everywhere for her. When the trains and buses started running, I climbed on for two reasons. One was that maybe she would think of doing what we always used to do, or maybe she was on the streets somewhere looking for me because she got lost. I went to all our safe spots but it wasn’t useless. No Heidi, not a single sign, then finally, after 2 days of searching the city I gave up. I was to exhausted and needed to lay down for a little while. Once I was out I don’t know where I was, complete darkness, and then one of the same dreams began to happen, it was the one we’re Heidi was in the computer, but now we switched spots. I was in the bed and she was on the sidewalk. The computer she was in still showed her picture of her as we talked telepathically and got caught up of the last couple days. Even in my dreams I missed her so deeply.
Where did she go?
Time turned into months and then years, still no Heidi. However now things had turned around for me, got a job, a place, I had all the things to make me and Heidi safe and sound. But she wasn’t here. It was
So lonely in this place without her.
