Elias' pov
I walked with Diya back to our Cabin after the party. She was covered with flower necklaces and still humming a tune with a drink in her hand. I would only allow her virgin piñas since she was going through rough times. I didn't want to see her drunk again.

"So something stuck with me during dinner" I said

"And that was?" Diya asked softly. Her voice making me ache through my pants more than I already was.

"my dad asked when you plan on leaving. I don't wanna push you but I'm curious too..." I trailed off.

We stopped walking on the cabin porch.

"you're right. I shouldn't just leave things so hidden. I honestly don't think I want to go back home since I don't really live there. My job, my home, my friends- He truly controls it all and seeing him would make me sick right now. That whole town feels like it revolves around what he wants....I just don't want to intrude here either. This is your home not mine" she rambled.

"This cabin could be your home too....For an extended amount of time. His town isn't going anywhere. We have jobs you could take up and your meals will be taken care of... I'm just saying" I told her while I pulled out a cigarette.

"Really?" She questioned childlike.

"just say the word and it can become reality" I nodded. I lit my cigarette while we sat on our porch.

"Could I borrow your phone?" She questioned after a few minutes of silence.

She began dialing a number and I watched her type a lengthy message.

Hi Joseline bb,
I have to get some things off my mind so I won't be in town until further notice. Please don't ask because I know I'm insane for disappearing but it hurts too much to be seen right now. I need to heal at my own pace and you don't deserve to be dragged into it. Please let any and everyone know I'm alright. Theo and I are no more. He cheated. I'm craving a new life and that's what I'm building. I love you

I watched her press send on the sad message.
"block that number" Diya demanded after handing the phone back to me.
