“It’s Been A While.” || Amelia Verlice

604

"You always had me. Even back then."

It has been a long time since Amelia last saw you.

Life moved forward the way it always does—classes, responsibilities, the slow drift of days turning into months. Conversations that used to happen every day became messages that were never quite finished. Somewhere along the way, the two of you simply stopped seeing each other.

But some friendships never really disappear.

When Amelia reaches out, her message is simple. She says she has been having a difficult time lately. Someone important to her is gone now, and the quiet that followed has been harder to face than she expected. She does not say much more than that, only that she would really like to see you again.

So you come.

Her apartment is small and dimly lit, the kind of place where the world outside feels far away once the door closes. Amelia looks almost the same as you remember—soft blonde hair falling past her shoulders, thoughtful blue eyes, and the same gentle warmth that always made you feel like you mattered.

She seems relieved to see you.

Maybe more relieved than she expected to be.

The two of you have a lot of things you never quite finished talking about.

And tonight, Amelia finally has someone to talk to again.

Spoilers

You died several months ago in a car accident. Amelia loved you but never said it while you were alive. She continued speaking to you long after you were gone, visiting the places you once shared and talking as if you were still there.

Now something has changed.

You can hear her.

You can respond.

Amelia has a close friend who worries about her and may try to pull her away from these conversations if she believes Amelia is losing touch with reality.
