Underrated Intelligence || Toby McDonough

Too Late

I talked loudly, angry that what happened scared her off and made her go back home. She was a pleasure to have here, but she was never having a good time unless her mind wasn't on Toby and what he was doing to her.

Toby: I walked into her room to apologize about last night and she was gone. None of her things were there, it was like she wasn't even there in the first place. All that was there was some note.

Me: What note?

Toby: This one –

He said, grabbing the note from his pocket and handing it over.

I'll see you when you get home xx

I sighed while crumpling the note.

Ryan: Hey, I still didn't get to read that.

Me: Oh sorry –

I replied before un-crumpling it and handing it off to him.

Me: I cannot believe that one little fight drove her back home.

Riley: She's never been one to run away – She's always been, like, too headstrong and wining every fight to do that.

Me: So what was different?

Ryan: It was with Toby – He yelled.

Toby: It couldn't be that, could it?

Riley: Well you've never done it before, maybe she got scared?

Toby sighed, making all of us look up.

Toby: I told her to leave.

Me: You what?

Toby: I got angry and told her that I would have never told her brought her if I knew she was going to be so annoying, and she said she was going to leave and I told her to.

Me: So it's your fault?

Ryan: Before we start blaming people, let's go to the airport and see if she's there before throwing it out of proportion.

We grabbed our thing and got out of the hotel, rushing to the airport in hopes that her flight wouldn't take off before we got there and we could all talk this out. We walked inside, looking at the flights to see there were four flights to Orlando taking off, but all of them had already taken off.

Ryan: Shit –

We looked at him before sighing heavily, trying to catch our breath from running through the airport to see them.

Ryan: We were too late.

He mumbled, finally saying it to everyone, because none of us wanted to admit it out loud. We nodded before turning towards Toby, seeing him shake his head and be the first to turn around and walk off.
