Alex's pov

He hung up. He hung up on me and broke up with me. I felt angry and upset in not only him but myself.

I grabbed the car keys and got in the car. I drove to Brie's and I knocked on her door.

"Yes?" A guy said answering the door, I'm assuming her brother? Kind of cute.

"Is brie home?" I asked and he nods

"Brie! Someone's at the door!" He shouts towards the stair case. Brie comes down and sees me

"Hey, whats wrong?" She said reading right through me

"Can we talk?" I asked and she nods. She looks at her brother and he puts his hands in defense and walks away.

"Let's go up to my room." She said and grabbed my hand. We walked straight up to her room and I got a whiff of coconuts. I hate coconuts.

"Whats up?" She asked and I sighed

"Shawn called."

"What? Is he okay? Where is he?"

"He said he was fine and I don't know, he said "down there." I said and she looked at me confused

"Down where?" She asked and I shrugged "you don't think... he's in the states right?" She asked and I shook my head no.

"Border patrol wouldn't allow it, he doesn't have enough money for a airplane ticket, two minimum. Plus, he took his car." I said

"You don't know." She said and I shrugged

"He broke up with me over the phone." I said and she raised a brow

"Over the phone?" She said and I nodded

"Told me he doesn't know when he'll be back or if he's ever going to come back. He said he wanted me to move on and not to call him that he's soon going to disconnect his phone." I said wiping the tear that slipped out. She rubbed my back and leaned her head on my shoulder.

"It's not fair. He could've told me, he could've said something. Instead, he does this randomly. He said he'd never leave me and he literally just did." I sobbed

"You know his life, his parents. He had to get out. It was bound to happen. None of us thought it'd be like this or this soon." She said and I nod and wipe my tears.

"It'll all be okay sooner or later." She said and both of our phones go off. We grab them and see a text in a group chat that included me, her and the guys. I opened it and saw a photo of Shawn with Aaliyah both of them smiling and holding a peace sign.

From shawny:

I love you guys. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I don't know how long I'll be gone but I love each and every one of you. Especially Alex, I love you so much and I'm so sorry. Please do not reach out from me, this will be the last text you'll receive from me. I love you guys and please look out for one another <3!

My eyes teared up. He looked so happy. That's all I ever wanted for him. I clicked on the photo and zoomed in. I noticed the background

"Wait." I said

"What?"

"He's in the states. He's in L.A.!" I said

"What?" She said

"That's L.A.! I was at that exact spot with my dad before." I said going into my photo album and pulling up a photo. I did a comparison, same tree and same signs in the background.
