Vienna hands the two a bottle of beer, handing Calum a bottle opener since she couldn't open them herself. Luke thanks her for the beer, wrapping both hands around the slender bottle. "When did you get in town?" She asks them. "You haven't came to visit for almost a year." Vienna whispers. 

Calum places his lips along the rim of the bottle, letting the cool liquid run down his throat. Luke shrugs his shoulders. "We've been here for over a week, but since you moved to another apartment we didn't know where you were." He says. "Then we thought we'd see you at the coffee shop since that was always your favorite place to go, but you didn't come and today was gonna be our last day to see if you'd finally come." Luke finishes. 

Calum looks down at the white rug underneath his feet. "I was worried about you, Vienna." He says. "We heard about what happened between Michael and you, thinking that we'd come visit you." 

"He didn't tell us that you were planning on moving to another apartment, but when we saw you at the coffee shop, you looked like absolute hell and it hurt to know that Michael did this to you." Luke says, taking a sip of his now slightly warm beer. 

"I never planned on moving until Michael left." Vienna says. "This was the apartment that he wanted to move into one day with me, so here I am." She says, looking at the rugged coffee table. "This was a bad idea on moving here." 

Calum stands up from the couch, walking towards Vienna, sitting down next to her. "I'm sorry that he left you like that." Calum says, wrapping his arms around her. "He doesn't seem like the type of person to do something like this. You'll be alright though. We'll be here to help you." 

Vienna knew that he wasn't the type of person to do something as horrible as this, but he left without notice and she couldn't understand why. 

What happened for him to hate her so much? 

Vienna thought he liked her as much as she liked him, but maybe she was wrong.

dear michael,

i can't believe that you're now completely gone and out of my life. you haven't even tried contacting me since the day i found out you left. 

by the way, i saw calum and luke today. i invited them back to the apartment we wanted to move into together. they couldn't believe that you'd leave like that either. 

they said you told them you were leaving, and they haven't heard from you since. 

maybe they lied and just wanted me to think that so i wouldn't get upset. 

i really do miss you. i hope that you miss me too. 

please don't hate me. 

i started smoking again. 

you were my fix, but now that you're gone, i'm back to my old habit.

Vienna lights the black cigarette, inhaling the harsh chemicals. She exhaled with a sigh of satisfaction. The cigarette smoke making her feel whole again. Vienna was glad that she could finally feel something again after not feeling anything at all. 

Michael leaving hurt Vienna more than she thought it would. Vienna thought that if Michael ever left, nothing would happen to her. 

She would be fine.

Though she's not fine at all.
