Leah's POV

Arriving back to my dorm seemed was a bust. Every inch of me just wanted to stay with him. With Damon. Not like that of course, but he was one of the only people that made me feel so alive. I guess that's why it's easy for me to talk to him. Out of everyone he was one of the only people that I wanted to make amends with.

Now that he's leaving, it only makes things a lot more harder...Knowing that I have to say goodbye. I almost lost him once, and now I'm losing him again, and there's a chance that we'll drift apart. I sit my bags on the floor as I sit my bag on my bed. Party planning. Going away party.

Honestly I didn't believe that out of everything would be on my list for the week, among another thing. Making amends with my family. I guess I'd have to look at the good parts of it, I had one. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be having to keep my entire..adoption a secret. Or was it not hard for them? And if that's the case what about my birth parents?

What was their reasoning for letting me go? Was it me? Was it because they weren't ready to become parents? The list of questions goes on.. I guess the only way to understand all of that is to talk to my parents. I hesitantly pick up my phone as I waste all the time in the world contemplating it I should send this message.

How should I?

Maybe at this point I'm just overthinking it. I quickly send a simple text to my mother, which seemed like the most easiest choice. Far too easy. After all my mother was a lot more, approachable anyway. As a child many might say it's easier to go to your father to ask for a quick yes, but the roles were reversed. Part of that made me thankful. She was easy to talk to, easy to listen to, but I gave her such a hard time not knowing why she was this way.

I rested my head against the pillow as I slowly drift off, thinking about almost everything that has happened all these years in my life. All the challenges, and the pain. Maybe this entire dysfunctional chapter in my life will mean something. Something that'll make me realize that there's a lot more to life than relationships and, the rest is unknowing.

Sorry guys for the short chapter! I promise to post another a lot more tomorrow! I just need to write them out so it'll be ready!
