After I left the hospital, I went straight to Luke's mansion and packed my things. I know I should understand Luke's situation, but it still hurt. I can't stay here, but it doesn't mean I'm giving up, not on him.
My tears fell as I put my clothes in my bag. I took one of Luke's shirts and inhaled his smell, and I sobbed and hugged his shirt to me. But, god, How can I survive this? How can I face a day without Luke or Benny? My heart is weary, and my steps are heavy, but I willed my body to move.
As I drive my car away from the house, my tears kept flowing. I can survive this. I will survive this even if it's the last thing I do. I dialed my mom's number to tell her I'm coming. I decided to go straight to New Jersey instead of going back to my apartment.
" Hello, sweetheart? How are you?
