It was ridiculous, outrageous, and any other word that fell into the same category. And the worst part was that I had no clue where he was.

Part of me didn't even want to be reminded of him. But the other part would have like to know details of his whereabouts. If I did, then maybe I could be in peace.

But it was a constant thing for Alex to leave without explanation. I shouldn't expect anything different. My foot tapped and tapped until I had to switch to my other foot and keep going.

The phone didn't ring. The door didn't emit the sound of keys rattling inside the keyhole. His suitcase remained untouched and in the same half-messy, half-organized state he'd left it in.

But to my surprise, only three people sat at the table. I sighed with relief and sat down carelessly.

"Good morning" I pursed my lips and felt their eyes on me instantly. They all looked like they had stepped out of the cover of a magazine. Meanwhile I looked like I had crawled out of a dumpster. With my heavy bad under my eyes and the redness as a product of crying myself to sleep.

"Morning. Somebody had quite a night" Jamie snorted, looking at me.

"Don't even remind me" I groaned painfully and served myself some orange juice.
