CHAPTER 22

[THURSDAY MORNING]

JAKE's POV

Everything is already packed and we are ready to go, but I am still here in my room, standing in front of the tall mirror, staring at myself. Just a few minutes to go and we will leave the country.

But, damn! I don't want to leave.

My friends didn’t know that I was leaving today. I turn off my phone so they can't call me. For sure, they are contacting me right now since, at this rate of the time, I am not in college yet.

As much as I wanted to tell them about this, I couldn’t. I still don't know how to tell them this. They might laugh at me.

Also, Elle didn't know this either. I also don’t know how to tell her this. I'm afraid. Tch. I still have a plan to confess how I feel for her, but because of what happened, I can't do that yet.

Annoying!

Just then, I heard a knock from outside of my room.

"Come in!" I said.

The door immediately sprung open. It was my father who entered.

"Are you ready?" Dad asked me as he approached me.
