After we dropped by my place and dropped my things off, we stopped at the hotel we were staying at to get Michelle settled and so I can tell Brian I wasn't staying any longer.
I was waiting in the hotel lobby, biting my nails and staring at the ground, my stomach turning as I tried avoiding John. Sadly this didn't succeed.
"..so I was thinkin later we can go out so I can help ye forget about her.."
I looked up as Paul and John walked by. I looked away as they stayed quiet.
"Lucy I..I wasn't talking about you.." Paul said quickly.
"Yes he was. The sooner she's gone the better." John said flatly. Paul looked at him then back at me.
"John..you don't understand. I'm not..well."
"Just go Lucy."
I looked down as he walked to the elevators and went inside. Paul stayed behind and walked over to me. I wiped my tears.
"Luce...are you okay?"
"No I'm not okay Paul. And I don't expect you or anyone else to even care. He's right. The sooner I leave the better."
I grabbed my bag and stood up, my pills falling out in the process. He leaned down and picked them up.
"Lucy I...you're still not well are ye?"
I grabbed them from his hand and put them away. "No. Which is why I need to stay here. Being out and traveling is fun but, there's only so much I can handle."
He nodded and wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry Lucy. I really am."
I leaned my head on his chest and sighed. "I'll be okay Paul. I need to live my life and so do you all."
"Why can't you be a part of it?"
"I've moved on. You all need to let me."
He squeezed me tighter and kissed the top of my head. "One day Luce, we'll all be together again."
"Paul I.." I tried interrupting but he went on.
"You, me, John, George, Stu, your parents....things will be okay. And if something should happen and...you get there before me.." He paused and wipes his eyes. "Tell Stu I said Hi."
I watched as he let me go and walked away to the open elevator. He looked down the entire time the doors closed. I sighed and heard someone call out my name. I smiled as Andrew walked in and pulled me into a giant hug. I hugged him tight, never wanting to let go.
"I'm so glad to see you." I said looking up at him.
"You ready to go?" He asked pulling away and holding my hand.
"Yes. Absolutely."
I sighed and looked back as we left the building for good.
