AUTUMN

I'm leaving.

It feels like I'm dying because the idea of putting distance between Alex and me is repugnant - yet, I'm the one who made the decision. I needed to get out of LA. I just need...to get back home, where things make sense. To prepare for my art show which I'd completely forgot about because I've been so swept up in this past week. Somehow, I went from being alone and unknown to the girl who broke Alex Wolf's heart. I hate it. I hate that now I can't ignore it anymore. Now people will point at me on the subway and in the restaurant.

That's if I can get my job back - which I never technically quit in the first place. God - what was I thinking? Why did I ever think it would be easy with him? It's been rough since the seventh grade - I should know better by now.

The airplane takes off, a last-minute flight Savvy and I managed to book. Gazing out the window, I ignore the hard lump in my chest, just like the image of his face which reappears every time I close my eyes.
