The next day, I grabbed my passport from the kitchen table. I was waiting for Kendall to come over and pick me up to take me to the airport. My stuff were already being shipped.
I haven't spoken to Q or Sal since yesterday. I was going to visit Sal on the way to the airport this morning, but I wasn't going to see Q. I didn't entirely mean what I said to Q, but I definitely didn't want to see him today.
As I was leaving New York for five years, I thought it would be a good idea to visit Sal and clear the air. I wouldn't be able to phone him much from the UK, as the cost would be so much.

Kendall walked into my house, which was completely empty.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah" I sighed.
"What's wrong? I know you'll miss Sal but he'll be waiting for you" Kendall told me. I haven't told him about the events of the past few days.
"Somehow I doubt that very much" I replied.
"What?" Kendall asked.
"It doesn't matter... could we stop by Sals place on the way to the airport, please?" I begged.
"Sure"

I loaded the car up with my suitcases and sat in the passenger seat of the car. I pulled out the letter from Sal out of my handbag for re-read it.
'How could he ever think he wasn't good enough for me?' I thought.
"Rach, are you okay?" Kendall asked.
"Not really... but I'll be fine" I said.
"I'm gonna miss you!" He told me.
"I'll miss you too. But you know you can always come and visit" I reassured him.
"First stop, Madame" Kendall joked as he stopped outside of Sals house. I was contemplating wether to go in.
"Sis- are you gonna go?" Kendall said. I nodded as I opened up the car door. I slowly walked up the path which led me to Sals door. I gently knocked. There was no answer. I tried again... no answer. I presumed he wasn't in. I quickly ran back down to Kendall's car.
"Have you got a pen?" I asked. Kendall searched the cup holders which was filled with random coins and receipts. He pulled out a black ball point pen.
"Thanks" I replied.

I pulled out the letter that Sal wrote me. I circled the sentence 'But Q told me that I wasn't right for you'
Above it I wrote 'he's wrong... you mean everything to me..'
