It was 7 in the morning when I woke up at the edge of the bed. Jennifer had taken control of almost the whole bed and the blanket too. Whatsoever, I woke up and opened the curtains letting the sunlight entering through the window panes and illuminating the room maintained with darkness. I wiggled in my trousers and wore my t-shirt. I searched for anything that belonged to me before I left. I was on the verge of leaving when I thought it wouldn't be good to leave without informing her. Moments later I came up with the idea of leaving her a note. I found a diary in the drawer of her nightstand which read " My Life ". The title intrigued me and I thought of going through a few pages but she could wake up anytime soon and nothing's more embarrassing than waking up naked to a complete stranger just because you weren't in your senses last night. So I tore the last page of her diary grabbed a pen which was stuck in the spiral of that diary and wrote " It was nice having sex with you. You are a good person. I wish we could know each other better. ". I felt the note conveyed the message that I wrote. So I kept it on top of the diary putting the weight of the pen on it so that the wind doesn't blow it away. I was ready to leave now and I did.

Before I left her house and from her life too, I tucked her in the blanket and kissed her on the right cheek. I took a last glance at her and realized how beautiful she looked when the soft rays of sun gleamed on her face and her eyelashes which were even longer than mine which added more to the beauty. I closed the door as lightly as I could and walked downstairs. I turned off all the lights of her house and opened the front door and left. I rushed towards my home because I had to provision the journey and make a plan and fix the situation in my room before I leave. I had so much to do so that I can leave at night - if possible- or the next morning. I didn't run but walked as if I was running on the road pavement making my way through the herd of walkers. I walked and walked and kept walking until I reached home.

I took the key from under the carpet and opened the front door and entered the house. I rushed upstairs and grabbed one of my copies and rushed back downstairs. I headed for the sofa and jumped on it and almost tripped over. I tore a page from the copy and putting the copy on my lap and the page on top of it I started to plan.

Things to do before I leave-

1- Got to Walmart and grab ( 5 Red Bulls can, some chips, Sunscreen cream, 2 chocolate bars. ). If these food finishes I have my credit card to buy more.

2- Google everything and jot down the information and reload mobile data to search on google maps if lost.

3- Clean the Suv

4- Clean the house

5- Make sure everything is ready 

6- leave.

I made a simple 6 steps plan before starting this journey. I glanced at my watch and it was 10:45 in the morning. I decided to execute the first step which was going to Walmart. I wore my shoes and stepped out of the house. I started walking again. I walked on the road pavement as the sunny rays of the sun illuminated the city. The day was a bustle, full of activities and the people wearing formal dress hustled through the crowd heading to their offices or working places and I still couldn't depict the weird rhythm in rush those days. After twenty minutes walk from home I reached Walmart. It was on the opposite side of the street. I was on the verge of pushing the glass door of Walmart when the thought of Jennifer working there came to my mind. I thought it would be embarrassing to meet her after last night. So I turned around and decided to find another store where the stuff I require is available.
