Ffion My father’s words kept echoing in my head. I knew he was still there. Just a few rooms away but I was alone in the quiet confines of my room. Curled up on my side I stared put of my window. it would be so easy to leave through that dark window, but what would be the point? It was gone midnight. By now Gabriel would be long gone. He would have left for his own planet thinking that I didn’t what to go with him. Would he hate me? If our roles were reversed, I would hate me. The thought brought tears to my eyes. And I wiped them away angrily. What was done was done. I couldn’t change it now. Maybe if I had been honest with him from the start, from the moment ii realised who he was. things might have been different. I had been so desperate to have something or someone just for me
