Since You've Been Gone

His room. Two years. Still not over it.

The carpet still has that indent where his desk used to sit.

You don't know why you keep coming back here. His family left the room empty after they rented the place out to someone new - or maybe it just feels empty because everything that made it his is gone. The walls are bare. The light is wrong. It smells like nothing.

Two years since Callum packed a car and drove away. For a while, the texts kept you breathing. Short ones, then shorter ones. The last real conversation was six months ago.
