All I could think about was missing my father. Missing my home. Most of my stuff was still in my room.

The next day I decided that was it. I was gonna go back. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t stay here.

“Lumi, just think about this for a second.” Sonny said, as I was packing my bag.

“I have thought about it. I don’t want to be here.” I insisted.

“Oh come on.” He said as I quickly walked out into the living room.

Ethan was in the kitchen making breakfast but I walked past him and out the door, Sonny followed behind me.

I walked and walked through the forest. Sonny followed behind me begging me to stay.

Eventually we got rather far. We couldn’t see the cottage anymore.

Sonny walked next to me silently. Hunter and Nevin were still at the cottage. I assumed they’d stay or maybe eventually they would realize me and Sonny were gone and they’d come back as well.

I had an angry look on my face. I don’t even know why I felt that pissed off.

“Lumi…” said Sonny, in a soft voice.

“What?” I said in a harsher tone that I meant.

He looked taken aback.

“I know you are unsure about this but we’d get to see each other everyday.” Sonny said, still trying to convince me to turn back.

“Sonny, we’re not ok. And my father is probably worried sick.” I said.

“Well… I was happy.” Sonny’s voice faltered.

“Oh yes you’re happy. You’re happy we did this. Blah blah blah. Why’s everything have to be about you?” I scoffed.

I sounded way meaner and harsh then I intended but I was just so upset I couldn’t help it.

“It’s not… I did this for you. You’re the one who wanted to run away.” He argued which just made me more angry.

“I didn’t want to! I said it was just a thought!” I practically shouted.

Sonny practically flinched. His eyes were saddened. I felt guilty as hell. “Look I’m sorry.. I’m not even really mad at you. I know some of this is my fault I could’ve chosen to stay. Guess some part of me did want this. But I’m just stressed out and terrified. I’m not as nice of a person as I seek, if I even seem nice. I’m not gentle.”
