I look at the luggage lying on my bed. I have everything. Passeport (Ashley's one), sunglasses, a bit of clothes (I have everything I want in my other lives), and some cookies. Calvin's at work. I gently put on the bed a little note saying that I need time to thing about our relationship. He's going to be devastated. Hey, it's life.
I still decide to leave some cash next to his pillow, to help him getting another life. Again, I have all the money I want so I can spread it whenever I want.
I'm sure he will find another girl and another apartment. Or not. But I decide to chase that thought out of my mind.
You can treat me of everything you want, coward, bitch, selfish. Maybe it is true. But I created myself identities to survive, and when it gets complicated I give up.
I'm like rat.
When they find out the ship is drowning they don't tell the captain to solve the problem. They escape immediately. I'm like an animal. I don't care about feelings and conscience. I only care about instinct.
Just at the time I make my luggage roll on the ground to leave I hear some noises coming from the door. A key. Calvin's coming back already, it's much too soon. I can't leave now. I quickly take the note and cash out of the bed, hide my luggage and sit in front of mirror, vanity case opened. I take some eye shadow and simule a make up time. I play surprise perfectly when he enters the room.
« Calvin ! Weren't you at work ? It's so early !
He seems pretty proud of his surprise effect. If only he knew.
« I know, he says smiling. I wanted to see you to talk about...you know...the all moving-out thing.
« Oh. That.
« What are we going to do, he ask, this time without any smile on his pretty face. We had money to live in here, but we totally haven't much to buy or even to rent another place !
« Look, I say, first, calm down. Then, listen to me : I'm studying medicine in a glorious and great academy. Do you really think I'll let these things happen to us and do nothing ?
Yes.
I will talk to the owner of the building, or the little fat man that truly annoyed me. And, even if it doesn't work ! We will find a solution. I will contact people I know. You're not it this alone, Calvin.
I'm lying you're totally alone in this.
« Thanks, Ash. I needed to hear that.
"Anytime sweetie"
I put a tiny kiss on his pale nose.
"Now let's make pancakes !"
