Lonny ended up taking a nap on the couch. Remington had secretly packed some clothes and all of his meds plus sleep medicine. He packs his laptop but decides to leave his phone behind. It'll be better this way. Fuck the first time he did this is when Andy posted exposing info on his Instagram. But now Andy won't even talk to him. He won't even read his messages. He only talks to Lonny. Remington takes his wallet and bag and silently walks past Lonny, who is snoring loudly. He gets into his car and drives to the airport, but instead decides to rent a car. He is given a dark gray Mazda 6, driving north.

He isn't sure where his destination should be but it can't be in Georgia. It can't be near here. He doesn't even know where Andy went but he's sure he's in Florida, because he would never go too far. But Remington will. Running has always been in his blood.

South Carolina? Too close. Ohio? No Andy's parents are there. Tennessee? They have pretty mountains there. And if I really wants to I can throw myself in the Mississippi River. They have bridges everywhere. It is also secluded. Why not?

He decides Gatlinburg. It is super pretty and if he decides to wanting to end everything, then he will drive west to the river. Done deal.

He picks up a small burner phone at a local store and inputs the directions, booking a hotel for at least two weeks. This is it. This will be the end. It's okay. It was supposed to happen before this but God who knows why it didn't. It'll be okay. It's only a 4 hour trip. I will be there by 5 tonight. 

But what about Andy? Will he miss me? Will he freak out when he realizes I left? Or will he even bother to come home? Will he even try to look for me? Probably not. He's too busy forgetting I exist. I hurt him too bad. It's all my fault. Don't worry Ands, I'll take care of your problem for you.
