Him And Nothing Else 002: L'appel Du Vide | A Dear Evan Hansen Fan-Fiction

[Chapter 1 here: Not Like This]

---

He always finds himself seated there, on top of a giant rock in the middle of Ellison State Park.

Evan likes being up here, alone with the wind and the view of the sea of trees.

Trees that he had been wanting to climb, but could never find the courage to do so.

You’re a coward.

Coward for not confidently answering a tourist’s question earlier.

Coward for hiding on top of a rock just to avoid even more park inquiries.

Idiot, you’re supposed to be down there guiding anyone who could be lost.

But just like the day before and all the days since he started, he’s here.

Waiting for his work hours to be over.

What are you doing?

You promised.

Sighing, he peaked at the edge of the rock, checking if there are still people below.

There’s no one there anymore.

But he continues to stare down.

He likes the height very much.

The feeling of being up there.

And just like the day before and all the days since he started, he wanted to know what it feels like to jump.

But he couldn’t.

He wouldn’t.

Evan moves away and made his way to the side where he would usually climb.

Climbing this rock on this side is easier.

Less dangerous.

He doesn’t like the idea of getting himself hurt.

Evan stares at the tallest tree from this side of the view.

Before the summer ends, he made a promise, I’m going to climb on that tree.

L'appel Du Vide means "the call of the void" in French, just in case you don't know.
Anyway, I ended up with exactly 250 words on this one. Hope this is a good sign for my writing skills.
