TW: Suicide, sexual tension

After I said that, I left. I couldn't handle it anymore and we both needed time to think about this situation. I got in the car with Will and we drove away, back to Brighton. 

We arrived around midnight. My phone wouldn't stop buzzing with new calls, texts, and voicemails. I decided that once I'm alone I would read them. "Come on, you can have the guest room," Will said. I followed him through the apartment towards my new room for the week. I think that we will both miss each other when we are apart for more than a week. But we will see. And I only packed for a week...

"Thank you, Will," I gave him a small smile and he sighed before pulling me into a hug. "It's gonna be alright. I promise," He said in my hair. I sighed and blinked a few tears away. He pulled back from the hug and left me alone. "I'll leave you alone for now, Do you want something to eat?" eE asked and I nodded my head. "I'll make you something then," "DOn't burn the house down!" I said after him and smiled a little. 

I sat down on the twin bed and grabbed my phone, from which the battery was almost empty. I plugged in my charger and put it in my phone. I saw all the messages from Lando and all the 40 calls and voicemails with some of them. I decided to hear his voice first. I unlocked my phone and went t voicemails. I clicked on the first one and immediately knew he was crying, which made me cry too. 

"Hey, baby... I am so so so sorry... I shouldn't have left you and now you are gone... baby please come back to me..." That was the first one. I moved on to the second one...

"Darling... I- I am loft without you right now. I am not even streaming because I'm such a mess. I don't want to guilt-trip you, but please just come back!" I heard a sob after that and ended the voice mail. 

"Please come back to me... I don't know what to do..." That was all the third one said...

"Please... I can't live without you, my love..." He said in the fourth and so on and so on. 

I was a crying mess right now. I moved on to the messages and they weren't any different.

Lando, please leave me alone... I need time to think. I don't know if I want to come back so soon. You really hurt my feelings and I just don't know anymore. I'll give you the chance to explain yourself. But I'm not returning for another week at least. Depends on your explanation...

Not even a second later my phone rang. I picked up and all I heard were sobs. 

"Please Tara... Just come back..." That was all he said between sobs.

"I want an explanation first, please Lando... If you want this to work. No more secrets. Otherwise, we are done and I'll just go back to my apartment or live with Will," I said

"She wanted to tell me she had a rebound... But it wasn't my secret to tell. She is going to a clinic now for people with suicidal thoughts and attempts. I saw her marks on her arms that was the reason I went with her. It took so long because I wanted to be there when she called the clinic. I am so so so sorry that I didn't tell you before you left. I just didn't think I would lose you so easily..." He told me.
