All the time while he took step after step away from her, his mind was empty. Not a single thought. He couldn't even bring himself to think at all. Just a vast wide space of nothingness. NOTHING.

He heard his footsteps, the chatter of the other people around; he could feel the cold air run past through him; he could see the path where he was going. Yet....he couldn't bring himself to think at all. Zeke's mind was blank. Empty.

Maybe just one last look....

He twisted his body around and glanced at Gwen. For half a second he expected her to be standing there, looking at him. Waiting for him to return, maybe? That was an empty hope. He wanted her to be there, at the same time he didn't. If that made sense at all.

But as his cold blue eyes that were near to tears looked at where she stood moments ago....no Gwen. He let out a snort to himself, as if mocking his stupidity at what he had done. But then again, maybe it really wasn't meant to be. He loved Gwen though. He loved Evie as well. However after everything, Evie seemed to have dominated his heart. He wanted to protect her with all his life. She just seemed so fragile.

.......

Anyway, as he let out a chuckle to himself and sniffed once or twice, Zeke turned around with his vision all blurred up. Tears? His hand reached up to wipe them off. That won't do him any good now. It's over.

'Goodbye Gwen.'
