I heard the front door slam shut. She left. I let her leave.
'Fuck' I groaned while aggressively running my hands over my face.
'This is for the best. Right?'
After a few minutes of thinking about what just happened, I decided to go for a drive to distract myself. I walked back down the stairs, ignoring everyone in the living room who was playing a board game, and headed for the front door.
"Where you going?" I heard Max call from behind me.
Honestly I don't know, I just need to get out of the house.

I remembered that Denver had once given me the key to her dorm room. I ran to my car, grabbed the key and ran back.
The lock clicked as I turned the key in the nob. I pushed the door open.
"Lydia?" I called out while looking around.
"Lydia?!" I repeated louder. Her bedroom door was wide open but no one was there.
My pulse quickened. I picked up my phone and attempted to reach her once again.
