Matt’s POV:

I shot up out of bed to the sound of thunder, and flashes of lightning. I was sweaty and breathless.

I had not been able to sleep. I spent the whole time tossing and turning, just thinking about her.

I walked to the bathroom and rinsed my face with cold water. I slammed my fist against the mirror.

“You screwed up again.” I say to my reflection.

How could you let her go so easily? She needs you. You need her. I thought.

“We need each other.” I looked out my window. I saw a large bag. I decided to investigate. I grab a sweater, shoes and made my way outside.

The bag and sweater just placed on the ground next to the pot where my baby-our baby, was buried. I opened the bag and saw the t-shirt I gave Delaney when I brought her home.

Delaney.

She was here and I didn’t even notice.

She dropped all her things and left. It was pouring rain, why would she leave everything-

“No.” I whispered under my breath. “No.”

I raced inside desperately in search of my car keys. I grab them and run inside the car.  I shakily search for the car key and slide it into the ignition. Aggressively, I turn the key and the car does not start. I curse under my breath. “Comeoncomeoncomeon.” I turn the key and the engine roars. I switch the car lights on and reverse out of the driveway as fast as I could.

Delaney’s POV:

I ran.

Leaving all my cares.

Leaving my past.

Leaving my pain.

Not once did I look back. I knew what I wanted to do now. I wanted to leave it all. Everything I ran past is now just a memory. I don’t want to continue. Not like this. I am weak. I am numb. I felt empty. Just like I used to. I was done. Done with it all. I no longer wanted to feel pain, sadness, emptiness.

Just then, there it was.

My destination.

My answer.
