Dylan laid on the floor, in a pool of his own tears. He had called Thomas countless times, but no answer. Voicemail after voicemail. Nothing.

Loud sobs could be heard from his neighbors. When his phones started ringing, his heart dropped into his stomach. Without even looking at the name, he answered it.

"Tommy?"

"No, this is Hailey. Is this Dylan? Thomas has not shown up to work or answered any of my calls. I was wondering if you know where he is?"

Dylan's lip began to quiver. "N-no I'm s-sorry. He l-left a n-note saying he was l-leaving but I d-don't k-know where."

"Oh no! I'm sure he's alright Dylan don't worry. If you get any news please let me know."

Now in full tears, Dylan hung up the phone. He picked up the box full of Thomas' letters, and began to read one.

Dylan closed the box. "If you're not coming to me, then I am coming to you."
