Why I Left and Why I'm Leaving

Chapter 1

((Otay so I have too many ideas and can't fit it all in 25-30 chappies so... here's what happens before the book starts!

•Adam and Ty mostly heal and leave the hospital

•SetoSorcerer stopped talking to Ty through his head

•Adam and Ty have an argument and Ty leaves due to unknown reasons

•Ty now lives on a mountain and Adam doesn't know where Ty is

Otay? Otay. Enjoy the first chappie!))

[Ty's POV]

I open my eyes and sit up. I slowly get out of bed. I place one foot in front of the other and slowly make my way to the sink to splash water on my face. The cold water feels good. I rub my face with a towel and begin to get dressed. As I walk into the hallway, I'm greeted by the same picture of Adam and I smiling. I feel a stab of pain in my heart as I remember leaving him.

I grab the picture and smash it against the floor.

I've already lived here for a month and I still can't forget.

I walk to the kitchen to get a broom and dust pan.

Isn't this why I left? To get away from people? I don't know. All I know is that I had to leave.

I sweep up the glass and feel a pain in my left foot. I look down to see a piece of glass stuck in my foot. I take out the glass and walk back to the bathroom for a band-aid.

I look at myself in the mirror before opening the cabinet and see the pale face of a boy with brown, scraggly hair covering his left eye. I reach down to open the cabinet and notice that my hand has some blood on it too. I grab a band-aid and place it on the cut. I wash my hands with that same cold water I had splashed my face with earlier.

I begin to walk back down the hallway to where I left the dust pan and broom. I finish sweeping up the broken picture and walk over to the trashcan. I glance down at the photo one last time before I throw it away.

Gone.

Now there's nothing but my memories to remind me of him.

I put the broom and pan away and walk towards the cabinet to pull out a small, round cereal bowl. I grab a box of Cheerios and pour it into the bowl then walk over to the fridge for the milk.

"November 20th." I mutter. Crap. It was the 22nd. I grab the milk and pour it out into the sink then put it in the recycling bin. I grab my hoodie, backpack, and keys and walk open the door. I am greeted by a gust of cold wind, making me shiver. I walk out into the cool mountain air and lock the door behind me as I prepare to walk to the market. I look down and realize I'm only wearing socks. Crap. Guess I'll have to take the car.

~Time Skip *5 minutes later*~

I walk into the grocery store and the cashier smiles at me.

"Welcome to Mountaintop Mart! What can I get you?"

"Can you show me where the milk is?" I ask politely, faking a smile. She bought it.

"Down that isle." She points to an isle and I nod in thanks. I begin shuffling down the isle and see... him...

Oh, god, what's he doing here?

Adam can't be here.

Not now.

Oh god.

I begin backing around the corner when he turns and notices me. I pull my hood further down so he doesn't recognize me. He squints at me.

"You look familiar." No no no no. Please.

"I don't think I know you." I said in the gruffest voice I could manage. Adam immediately looks down.

"S-sorry sir. You just look like someone I knew. He's been gone for a month now and-"

"I don't need to know you're life story." I cut him off. I push past him to the milk.

"S-sorry." He mutters and continues into the next isle. What's Adam even doing in the mountain?

"Hey." He freezes. I realize that I wasn't using my accent and clear my throat. "Sorry about that, just not in a good mood."

"O-okay." He says. "What's you're name?" I rack my brain for any name.

"Fred." I said. "You?"

"Adam."

"What are you doing up here in the mountains, Adam?" He pauses and looks distant for a minute.

"Trying to find someone that can help me find my friend who's been missing."

"Who's that?"

"Well, her name's Cal." After he says that, I tune out. Why's he trying to find her? Adam finished speaking.

"Why's this 'Cal' so important?" There's a long stretch if time where no one speaks and then Adam breaks the silence.

"S-she's Ty's ex and she's kinda crazy-"

"Kind of crazy?! She killed people from the asylum to get to me! She nearly murdered you!" My hood falls off and I drop the act. Adam gasps and his eyes well up with tears.

"T-Ty?" I push him aside and run to the parking lot. "Ty!" I hear him shout as I start the engine. I look in the mirror and see him running out of the market and I step on the gas pedal as hard as I can. I can't be with him. I have to move.

Again.

((What'd ya think of chappie 1?
