Corner of the Earth : a Hetalia Fanfiction

Reminiscence

The following few days weren't so good.

The meeting was somber. Everybody had decided not to talk to me for some reason... oh, except for Feli. But even him himself acted kind of down... I later realized that he forgot to ask me to bring him his medication.

One of the representatives of the UN told us that each of the main targeted countries were being personally relocated. This was not well received and I can imagine why. I wouldn't want to be relocated either. Oh, wait.

We were also told that Carter and I would also be relocated once Carter recovered. Kevin, on the other hand, did not have nearly as much direct contact with the nations as I did and would remain here. What also helped his case was that he was also a former marine. As much as I would like to believe that Kevin was a Spartan-like God, I still doubted he could fight off terrorists alone. I held my tongue, however.

I wasn't excited. Despite their rather erratic tendencies, I had grown attached to most the countries. Emphasis on the most. I did kind of consider Arthur a friend... but we also had a mutual irritation towards each other. I wasn't quite sure where to place him.

I had decided to go back home and throw out some old groceries, much to the objections of Kiku. Other than that, he hadn't spoken to me in days. In all honesty... it did hurt. Kiki was so friendly and yet so distant. I didn't know where to place him either.

Thankfully, I didn't run into any trouble on the way home. None at all, even though the drive was a good few hours long. It almost led me to believe the planned possible relocation of Carter, the countries, and I was unnecessary.

I returned home only to find seven messages on my answering machine from a distant... friend. I sighed and dialed his number. A nervous voice picked up. "Allison?!"

I sighed, exhausted. "Yes, John?"

I heard a frantic reply. "Where were you all this time?! Everyone was worried sick!" By everyone, he meant everyone who used to be in my church youth group (which I left... what, five years ago?).

"John, work. Look, I'm going to be gone for a while. Not sure how long. I'm going to buy a new cell later and call you, okay? Jeeeeezus, you start acting more and more like the mom friend each day."

"Yeah, I know. Have to go...  Muffy's got a kidney stone. Be safe, okay?"

I cringed. Poor Muffy. "I will... don't worry about it." Seriously, don't. I... I don't want to talk to you anymore. He hung up.

I'd get back to him later. I wasn't in the mood to deal with an ex.

I started to search the house, gathering up any items I felt like either Carter or I could use. I then threw out all the perishables and left the other food where mice couldn't get it... except the huge bag of M&Ms. That was coming with me.

Carter had been smart enough to clean her own apartment before we left for work and she didn't have any pets. We met up rather quickly and did our last preparations.

As I drove away from the house, I couldn't help but look back...
