Goodbye

She and I weren’t exactly close although she seldomly showed her care for me as much as she could. I have a feeling that my dad was the reason Sky was holding back. He noticed that she had a soft spot for me.

I’m still in pain and I do have regrets. I will let her live on through my memories.

After packing what I needed to bring, Caleb drove me to the airport. The weight of everything hung in the air, but we filled the silence with talk of the future. Our future, my future, vague plans, and the scattered “whatnots” that people say when they’re afraid to talk about what’s real. I didn’t expect to be free, not really. In some strange corner of my mind, I believed I was going to stay there. Maybe it was wishful thinking, or maybe it was something else. Caleb was kind enough not to bring up the Alpha. He knew it would hang over us no matter what, so why put it into words?
