I get back as dinner is being set on the table. My mother is always cooking. It seems like she enjoys it. I always wondered how anyone could be a wife and do the whole marriage thing. I want to get married and have kids, but I don't think life will turn out that way for me.
"Veronica, where have you been?" I honestly don't know how to answer that and I see Chad come down the stairs. I'm finally reminded of why I left.
"She had to do an errand for me." I hear Chad say and I smiled at him and we go in to the dining room and Erin sits next to me and Chad on my other side. Everything is just spinning out of control. We're sitting here eating dinner with Chad's mother. I'm fucking a teacher. Chad could be in love with me. I might be in love with him, but I'll never admit that and I don't know what to do, how I feel and I just want to leave.
"Where do you?" I look towards Erin and she puts her fork down. She looks at me.
"What?" I take a deep breath. I hate repeating myself honestly.
"Where do you go when things become overwhelming and you can't take it anymore?" she shakes her head as if she shouldn't tell me. I just grab her arm and look at her straight in the eyes.
"I don't think I should tell you that information. I shouldn't be encouraging you to leave." I put my index finger to my lips. That's not what I want to hear at all.
"I need you to tell me." she licks her lips and nods her head. We stare at each other and she smiles.
"I go where I have unfinished business and after that's done I go where home is. I leave again and travel for pleasure." I nod my head and smile. I go back to eating my food. The only person I was worried about was Chad and how he would react. Then I realize she leaves without an explanation. I have a great attendance at school. Three days away from school will not hurt me.
After dinner I go upstairs and begin to pack a quick bag. I went under my bed and found some money that I have saved for years. I grab at least two hundred dollars. I get in bed and begin to go to sleep.

My alarm goes off at 12 am and I get out of bed. I grab my jean jacket and my travel bag. I tip toe at my room and travel downstairs.
"Where you going?" I turn back to see Chad. I go back up the stairs and I kiss him on the lips.
"I'll be back." I turn around and run down the stairs. I open the front door and look back at him. I get into my car and begin to drive. I put on my GPS and I begin to drive to Arizona. I swear even at 12am traffic in Cali is horrible. I take a detour and I take the long way as my GPS re-routes. After re-routing I stay on the path.

At 7am I pull up to the home. I received this address after he moved, but I just know he doesn't want to see me. I go up to the door and knock on the door. I open the door to an Asian woman. She looked like one of those Victoria Secret supermodels.
"Hi, Does a Benjamin Miller live here?" She smiles and nods her head, but doesn't step out the way.
"Yes, he does. Who are you?" I sigh and scratch my head. Why can't she just get the man.
"He'll know when he sees me. You must be his wife Dana." She nods her head and calls out for my dad. He comes to the door and I see a shocked expression on his face.
