here or do you need a ride?” Katie asks.
“He dropped me off. I told him I would find a way home.”
“Okay, well Jay and I can take you home. Come on.” Katie says tugging on my arm. “I’ll come by first thing in the morning to check on her.”
That night I left the hospital feeling useless and empty inside. Useless because I couldn’t’ do anything about the situation I put Tamia in, and empty because the one that I loved was laying in a hospital bed, not wanting anything to do with me.

The next day I wake up to the sound of Katie’s voice.
“Kellen wake up! She’s leaving!”
I sit up, trying to comprehend what she was saying. After Jay dropped me off last night, I found myself taking shots of tequila until I passed out. Squinting my eyes I look at my sister. “Who’s leaving?” I mumble.
“Tamia!”
“What do you mean?” I look at her confused.
“Her parents came by our apartment this morning and packed up some of her things. Kellen I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t think she’s coming back!”
“Okay Katie slow down. Tell me what happened.”
“Well they came by early this morning to get some of her things. They said they flew in late last night, and they were taking Tamia back to Georgia, so she could recuperate from the accident. They are flying out first thing tomorrow morning, and they’re staying at the Sullivan Hotel tonight, just in case we want to come by to check on her before they fly out.
“Shit!” I say getting out of bed. “What time is it?”
“5:30pm.”
“And you’re just now telling me this?” I shout.
“I tried calling you several times today. Don’t get pissed with me! I didn’t have to come all the way over here to tell you this. Remember you’re the one who fucked up! Not me!”
“You’re right, and I’m sorry.” I say looking at my sister. “Do you know what room she’s in at the hotel?”
“Yeah, but I’m not letting you leave here looking like this.” She says looking me up and down. “You look like shit!”
“I feel like it.” I say running my hands through my hair. “I’m going to shower and head over to the hotel.”
“What if she refuses to see you, like last night?”
“I don’t know. I’ll have to keep trying until she hears what I have to say. I’m not going to allow her to give up on us, especially when we don’t know if Ashley is really pregnant, or if it’s mine. I’m not giving up. I love her too damn much.”

“No mom I’m fine, you don’t have to check on me. I’m right next door to you guys. If I need you I’ll come knocking I promise.”
(Knock Knock)
“Hold on mom, someone’s knocking on my door. I think its room service bringing me my soup.” I walk over to the door and open it, not even looking to see who it was. I turn my back and walk further into my room, and I continue my conversation with my mom.
“What time are we meeting downstairs tomorrow morning?” I ask my mom. I hear the door to my hotel room shut and I finally turn around to give my attention to who I thought was the hotel’s room service attendant, to find Kellen standing there. “Mom. I have to go. No everything is fine. I’m going to eat and take my medicine and head to bed. Love you too mom. Goodnight.” Then I end the call with my mom, and bring my attention to Kellen. “How did you know I was staying here?”
“Your mom.” He responds. “She told Katie you were staying here this morning when she and your dad went to your apartment to grab a couple of your things.”
“I should have known she would tell Katie. I’m sorry you drove all this way to see me, but I want you to leave Kellen. I have nothing to say to you.”
I walk passed him and make my way to the door. I open it, waiting on him to get the clue that I didn’t want him here. He walks in my
