When I got home that night, I ate dinner with Tammy and Richard. I conversed with them, feeling happier then I could ever remember. After dinner, I went to my room. I went to my phone line to check my voicemail. I expected it to be a perfect night.

Then I heard it:

Lana, it's John.

I want to see you. I know where you are, and I'm on my way there now. I'm leaving tonight. I'm coming to get you.

I had to leave.

I packed up my belongings, tears streaming down my face. Hastily, i wrote a note explaining everything to Tammy and Richard. This was it. Now everything's ruined.

Alessandra, why is everything so bad.

I was good for a while.

I didn't even need you, no offense.

Now he is here.

Our worst nightmare.

With trembling hands, I called Jesse's number.

"Hello?"

"Jesse? I'm driving over to your house."

"It's pretty late. Are you ok?"

"No. I need you to do something big for me."

"What?"

"Run away with me."
