After waking up from my nap, I got up and went to get something to eat from the fridge. With a bottle of yogurt in hand, I went to turn on the TV as I sipped on it. After a moment, my expression changed. The bottle slipped from my hands and fell onto the floor, splattering yogurt everywhere.
But I wasn’t faltered by it. I was sitting on the floor staring blankly at the TV when I stood up suddenly. Rushing to my bedroom, I packed two sets of clothes, my travel documents, and my ID. I then headed for the airport without informing anyone.
How could I have been so foolish? I had completely forgotten the reason I went to look for Darius after being shouted at by him. He tricked me with his words, and I believed him. Someone like Darius wouldn’t have said something so inappropriate. Those words were more likely to come out of Julia or Shelley. How could a man like Darius think of something like this?
Besides, based on my understanding of him and the bland relationship he had with Shelley, he couldn’t have been so sentimental. That was why he must have had thought of what to say beforehand and comforted me.
Things seemed to be much more serious than I thought. Christopher was in great danger, and they chose to let Darius, who was the worst liar, lie to me so that I would not worry.
I didn’t know if I should thank them or be mad at them for trying to hide it from me. Not caring about anything else, I rushed towards the airport. I never thought about stopping at all. I must find Christopher this time.
Since he was in such great danger, I needed to go see him. I wanted to be with him no matter what. If everyone disapproved of this, we’ll just die together. At least that way, we’ll be together.
While buying the plane tickets, I pulled out my phone and took a look at the message Mom had sent me. We’ll talk about minor things like this next time.
I was disappointed. If something like this was minor, what was serious in her eyes? Even though Mom loved me after she was back, I could never feel what I felt in the past. Perhaps the years of separation became a wall between us. Mom would never tell me anything, and she was never there whenever I wanted to tell her anything.
