Part 35

**Perth's POV**

Glancing over at the clock on my side table, I groan into my pillow and pull the covers over my head.

The memorial is probably coming to a close right about now...

I know what I'm doing is very fucked up but I just can't make myself go.

Seeing him in a box will make me want to throw up, honestly just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous.

Everything feels so empty without him, I miss his warm smile, his laugh that made everyone around him want to laugh and the way he would scrunch up his nose whenever I kissed him in his sleep...

Even though I know he's gone, I still feel like he's with me...

I know that Mew is probably going to kill me once he realizes that I'm not coming...

*Sigh*

I get out of bed and pull on a black pair of jeans and a white t-shirt before heading downstairs towards my dad's office.

*knock Knock*

Dad: Yelling from inside the room. "Come in."

Perth: I slowly walk into his study and look down at my hands as I stand next to his desk. "Hey dad, I wanted to talk to you about something..."

Dad: He looks at me impatiently as he glances back down at his computer. "What is it? Speak quickly Perth. I'm busy."

Perth: Okay here I go... "I want to study abroad in America..."

Dad: That got his attention. He looks up at me now with curiosity. "You want to study abroad? Are you sure, because you changed your mind last time."

Perth: "Yes, I'm sure..."

Dad: "If you really mean it then I'll get you on a plane at the end of the week."

Damn that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be...

But here comes the difficult part.

Perth: "I want to leave today if there are any flights available."

Dad: He glances at me. "What about your brother? Are you going to say goodbye?"

Perth: I shake my head and my hands start to shake. "I don't think I can handle telling him in person. I just want to leave and start over. Don't worry I plan on going to business school and taking over the business once I graduate college just like we planned..."

Dad: He nods his head and starts to search for flights. "Good. I don't mind you leaving as long as you keep your word." He looks around for a few minutes and then closes his computer and looks at me. "There's a flight in 2 hours, try to be at the airport 30 minutes early. Now if that's all you want then you can leave. I'm busy."

I bow my head at him and quickly walk out without another word. 

Once I was on the other side of the door with it closed shut I lean against the wall and try to catch my breath.

Okay that's all over with, now I need to pack and try to figure out what I'm going to say to my brother when I call him on the way to the airport...

I know that this is not something that I should do and especially today but I just can't be here anymore...

Too many memories...

About 10 minutes after I had finished packing everything into my suitcase, my phone dings.

It was from Mew...

Mew: *Hey Perth, I don't know where you are but I really think you should get your ass down here. Set aside your guilt and get over here. His parents are hurting just as much as you are and they found a way to get out of bed and be down here with everyone else. So make the right decision and please show up before it ends.*
