--

It was the meanest thing I had ever done to my little brother. I didn't like long goodbyes, but it would have hurt either way.

He was only fourteen when I left. Still a child. Still fragile. Still vulnerable.

But the scent of adventure and dangers seduced me and pulled me away from him.

I was so stupid.

So there I was on the deck of the ship. Back turned to the sandy shores where we used to play, laughing and giggling.

I pretended not to hear his screams and crying that tore my heart in two. His screams were the screams of the tortured. As if he was being burned alive.

It would have hurt him less to have been burned alive, I know that.

I can still hear him. Shouting my name, shouting for me to come back. His voice cracked as it was broken by sobs.

It killed me on the inside.

He shouted that he hated me for leaving him.

I cried.

He should have hated me, but I knew he didn't.

I cried until I had no more tears left in me. Until my throat ached and my cheeks stung with salt. Until I had no more energy left within me. Until I could hardly stand.

I still remember.

My home was disappearing behind the horizon. A small figure sank onto the ground.

But it was too late to turn back.

Luffy.

*sobs* end.

Sorry about that. Comments, plz?
