It all happened so fast.

To the point, I can't even remember why we were fighting in the first place.

We fought before but we would always make up...It's no different from the other times, ...right?

I was slumped down on the cold ground staring at my phone, the unread messages, my heart began to ache.

"You fucked this up like everything else," I thought to myself.

I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding for who knows how long. I picked my sorry self from off the floor and staggered my way to the bedroom.

And there it is, as a huge fucking slap to the face: His hoodie is on the bed. Agony taking over my body all I want to do is be in bed with Virgil, not just his hoodie.

I watched helplessly as he threw everything in boxes and duffel bags.

[At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see]

I wanted to say something- T-to say anything. I did my best not to cry especially not now.

[And all the things that you never ever told me. And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me. Never coming home, never coming home]

I stood there speechless, by the time I worked up the courage to say anything it was too late.

[Could I? Should I?]

[And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me. For all the ghosts that are never gonna]
