Taylor emptied his apartment of most things that reminded him of Hayley. Almost his entire closet was cleaned out, being as how most of the clothing had belonged to Hayley anyway. He donated all of her clothes, with the exception of one shirt that still had Hayley's scent on it.

The drawer of his nightstand was cleaned out, all that remained being his wallet and a few spare pennies.

He broke the lamp that sat on Hayley's nightstand. It wasn't an accident. It was out of anger.

Of the photos that had been on the wall or elsewhere in the apartment, only one still remained. One photograph of just Hayley, a Polaroid picture, which that had been taken on the first night they moved in together.

"Home is such a lonely place without you," Taylor spoke aloud.
