"You can run!" He shouted, "but you can't hide, one day I will find you!

That was the worst day of my life, it's been 12 years since I saw Ryan and I'm still running, because what he said was true.

He has almost found me many times and he has almost found me again, but something is different this time. Let him find me because I don't care. I'm tired of running. It's time to end this cycle and this time I'm ready.

My name is Eden Smoke. I'm 27 years old now, and I'm back in the town I was born in, the town my life ended in and the town where I first met Ryan sanders, but it is also the town where my life began again.

"What can I get you miss" The bartender asks.

"Any kind of whiskey."

"Ah, your a whiskey girl," he says handing me a glass. I throw the whole thing back.

"It seems so Carter."

"How'd you-"

I stood up cutting him off, I reach out and tap his chest.

"Name tag honey." I drop a five on the counter and head for the door leaving him stunned.
