The next day, Calum waited for Autumn at the coffee shop. When she didn't show up again, he went straight to her apartment, and he saw her walking out, wiping away her tears again, just like yesterday. He ran to her, calling her name.

She fast walked away from him, not wanting to face him again. When she heard his fast footsteps becoming louder and louder, she ran. But he caught up to her, spinning her around to face him. Calum stared at her again, "Autumn, why do you keep running from me? Was it something I did? If thats the case, I'm sorry." he said.

She sighed, "It's not something you did. It's just. . . I don't know." she spoke. Calum wiped away her tear that fell from her eye's, "Whats wrong, Autumn?" he asked her. "Calum, I can't tell you." she said.

"You can't or you won't?" Calum looked down at the ground, tightening his jaw. "Both." she spoke. "It's okay, Autumn. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." he said. Autumn sighed, wiping her eye's because of the tears that threatened to spill. "I'm sorry." she cried, hugging him. "Why are you saying sorry?" Calum chuckled.

"You shouldn't become close with me, Calum."

"Why? What do mean, Autumn?"

"One day, Calum, one day, you'll wake up and realize that I've disappeared, for good. Yes, Maybe I'll still be breathing that day, but I won't be the same."
