"Wake up, Alice."
"Seth? Is that you?"
I blink my eyes open and see my mom smiling at me.
"No, dear. Seth's gone, remember?"
I widen my eyes in shock and quickly get up from bed.
I run to Seth's room and slam the door open.
"Alice, Seth went back to his acting. Or did you forget?"
I stopped to gather my thoughts together.
Seth's not with us anymore.
I look down and leave the room in misery.
"Mom, what's for breakfast?"
"Egg and bacon. There's bread too, if you like."
I absentmindedly nod my head and slowly walk down the stairs.
The smell of newly-cooked food pass through my nose as I tread towards the kitchen.
I sit down and start eating.
"Seth, it's time for breakfast!"
I call out when my mom giggles.
"Oh, Alice."
'What?"
"Nothing."
I glance at the door of Seth's bedroom, waiting for him to come out grinning and combing his hair.
I sigh and get back to eating.
He's never coming back.

As I reach the school grounds, I sigh and sit on the nearest bench.
After a few minutes of taking a break, I am about to stand up when someone covers my eyes.
SETH!
I grin happily and turn around.
"Seth, you're back!"
Aiden stares at me amusingly then lets out a guffaw.
"You really do miss him, don't you?"
I blush and bring my head down.
"S-Sorry..."
He pats my shoulder gently.
"It's okay, Alice. He'll come back, I'm sure of that. I think all you need is a hug."
He reaches his arms out for a hug and grins.
Ah, one of his killer smiles.
I wear a smile.
"I guess so!"
I hug him, trying to erase Seth out of my head.
I hope he's doing well.
