I'm not one who's good at explaining things. That's for sure. But as I made my way down the streets from Calum's house to find a road-- maybe a taxi-- I knew I was going to have to explain to Luke.

Eventually, I found the street that lead out to the other busy city streets. Five forty in the morning. I managed to flag down a taxi and hop inside. The driver was an old, groggy man.

I gave him the address to my house, knowing Luke had probably disobeyed my instructions and had tried to follow me back home. I could bet a million bucks he was asleep on my couch right now, waiting for me. He knew I had to come back sometime, right?

The end fee for the cab ride was around fifteen dollars, which I dug out of my back pocket and handed to the man. Thank God only fifteen, because I had only seventeen dollars total.

When I got to my apartment building, I climbed the stairs to my floor. I passed a window here and there and saw the sun was rising. Great. When I got to the door, I searched my back pockets again for my keys and unlocked the rattley door handle.

"...Luke...?" I approached the couch, but no one was on it. "Luke, I'm sorry," I breathed as I checked the kitchen and the halls. Nothing. I went into my room, and again, Luke wasn't there. The feeling of emptiness overcame me and I bursted into tears. I flopped on my bed discovering a small piece of paper upon it.

All it said was: "I'm so sorry, -Luke."

I wiped my eyes. Was he really gone? What had I done, I fucked everything up!

Knowing him, he wouldn't have gone home either. It was such a big, fucked up world out there and he could be anywhere. Anywhere but here.
