The fact that he had gone missing had my head spinning. I pulled into the drive way of his old house. I sat there staring until Lillian came out and looked at me confused. "What are you doing here?" She asked me. "Have you heard from him?" I blurted. She shook her head and disappointment surged in my body.
She backed away from the car and I pulled out not bothering with an explanation. I had no idea where I was going now. To find him? But where would I go? I knew I could go and try. I could drop the life I had now just to see him. My foot pressed a bit harder on the pedal.
I would need to go alone obviously. I could bring Camille. I shook the through out of my head as I pulled up to our apartment building. I would have to leave my phone. I wouldn't say goodbye as harsh as it sounds. Goodbyes usually meant no coming back.
And that wasn't my plan. I was going to come back with him. I would need a bag of clothes, money, food, a passport, and an alibi. I needed something to keep the media and my family at bay. Easy. "Staying at Camille's for a few months. Sorry but it's been rough and she helps. Don't call or text."
Not very helpful but it will keep them off my back. I hurried to my room thankful that today was a day off and opened the bag I used to move into his place. Hunters. My throat didn't constrict. My breathing stayed steady and hope surged through me. I could think his name, hell I could even say it. "Hunter." I whispered experimentally.
I giggle and continue packing. I ran to the back of my closet and grabbed the gun he left behind and the packs of bullets. I packed the knife and smashed my cell phone against the wall. They didn't have Camille's number they didn't even know who she was mostly.
Taking a breath spun my hair into a mop in the top of my head and shoved it under a old military hat. I wore a pair of old frayed jeans and a tight white tank top. Taking one last look at the life I had now I considered, did I really want to do this?
I left my keys on the table and answered my question. Yes yes I did want to do this.
