Alana's POV.

*A day ago*

"I love you, Al"

"I love you too, Matt," I said already tears forming in my eyes.

We were in a hotel room, laying on our beds. Just a few hours and I will be gone. Gone from his life, from everybody I love lives, from this country, forever.

"Don't you dare come back here, at all. Not for anybody" he warns me, making me roll my eyes at his protectiveness.

"I know! B-But what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Will, I ever see you again?" I ask turning my body to face him.

"No. Never," he said making me sigh loudly, he turned towards me, giving me a sad smile "You know it's a risk. Mom and dad keep a tab on my expenses and if somehow they connect the dots with me withdrawing a big fat amount of money from the bank to give it to you or pay for this hotel instead of giving it to my so-called friend, they will drag you back there, to him. And I can't risk that even if it means that today is the last day I see you, then so be it"

I know what he is saying is the most sensible thing but the thought of never seeing him again breaks my heart.

"I am not staying in the country as well, Al"

"You are not?"

"I can never be in this country and not think how this country has failed you, how I failed you. I am going for my further studies abroad. I won't tell you where but I am not staying here as well"

"Good for you," I say softly, this gives me a relief to know at least he won't be here he would be safe.

"Al?"

"Hmm?"

"Wherever you are going, you will be happy, right?"

I was silent for a few minutes "I will be safe. It will take some time for me to be happy. It's been five years of constant torture and crying. Maybe a few months from now I will be happy," I say softly "But why don't you wanna know where I am going?"

"Hmm...because if I know where you will be then I will definitely come there to check on you, you know? And me coming to visit will be a massive risk. It will be like putting my head in the lion's mouth. It's safe like this"

"I have brought some new clothes and other kinds of stuff for you, and you still have your documents, everything is packed, and I have already started an international account for you, put some money in it. You will be good for the start few months...You still need to rest more after...umm...after the delivery...and please take your medication on time...do not fucking skip any dose...and when you feel okay...you can look for jobs but nothing that will bring too much attention to you, okay?" I nodded my head at my rambling brother "And try to move on please...forget everything happened here...b-but you can't let anyone know how you are there, how you got there, you understand, right?" Even though our plan didn't work out as planned but we are safe. You are safe"

"Yes. I understand. Stop your rambling" I said letting out a chuckle which made him realize he has been rambling on and on and laugh at himself.

I missed this.
