142 The secret that follows you

Patrick. 

The moment I walk into the house, I see him in the living room—waiting for me. I know I have a lot of explaining to do but I don't think I am ready to do that. How do I tell him the truth, how do I tell him everything with the assurance that he won't leave me.

He stands up from the couch as I close the door "You're here,'' he comments.

I nod as he walks away from me. The fact that my mother found me just means I have to move again. if this happened before me and Jack, I would've packed all my things and run away again. I know this is my life now, as long as she knows where I am, I have to leave.

How do I explain this to him?
