Blake smiled widely. Not that sexy smirk that I usually saw, but this goofy grin that made him look ridiculous. I loved it.

"Does now work for you?"

I smiled and nodded my head. "You're driving the first few hours because I think I'm still a little drunk." I laughed, but my joke only made his ridiculous grin leave his face.

"It'll take more than a day. Start packing." He stood up and left my room, leaving me completely lost for a moment.

I was about to go on a road trip with a guy who loved me, who I kept rejecting, to go to a college we would both be attending, away from anyone else, for over a day.

Crap.

Wait, shouldn't I be excited about this?

I jumped out of bed, pulling a black suitcase from my closet and began to pack.

Shorts, shorts, shorts, tank tops, tank tops, tank tops, shoes, shoes, shoes.

I didn't need this many shoes. I pulled out a couple of pairs and nodded my head. That should be good.

"Knock knock?" I turned around and saw my mom standing in the doorway.

"Going somewhere?" she asked me.

"Townsville."

"Oh. How long will you be gone?" She wouldn't enter my room.

"A few days. One week, tops."

"Did you even bother asking?" I could hear the irritation in her voice and I rolled my eyes.

"I doubt a week will really impact you when you've gone over three months without even hearing my voice." Stooping to my coma days was low, even for me, but my head ache was back and my room was too bright.

With a huff from my mother, I heard her heels click out of my room and down the hallway.

"Raelene?" My heart soared at Blake's voice. "Almost ready?"

I zipped my suitcase shut and lifted it up, pulling the handle out to roll it.

"Yep."

"Um, do you wanna put some different clothes on? Maybe wash your face?" he smiled sheepishly and I glanced down at my outfit.

I was still wearing my tight black dress. In the mirror, I saw that I was still in my full makeup. I started to laugh.

"Give me an hour. I'll take a shower and change. Make yourself comfortable." I waved my hand around my room and Blake dropped himself onto my bed and closed his eyes.

"Wake me up whenever," he told me as I grabbed two towels and left my room.

I smiled and shook my head. While I stood in the shower, I started to think deeply, like always.

Why would I tell him to take his love somewhere else? He was the only one who has stuck by my side, aside from Beth and Alice. He was with me while I was unconscious. He was the one I went to when Alek came back.

Yeah, maybe we made each other crazy, but that was a good thing right?

I stepped out of the shower once I was clean, one towel wrapped around my body, the other around my hair.

In my room, Blake was sleeping silently in my bed. He looked so young in his sleep. No lines of worry were between his brows, his mouth was slack and his jawline was still as heavenly as ever.
