The story is just so good that I couldn't once move from my bed, not even to get water or use the loo. I was so into the story. I couldn't take my eyes off the book till its done.

Suddenly there's loud knocking on the door. I swear if it's some delivery guy, I'll go all karate kid on him.

Angrily, I take my eyes off the book and peep out of the door to see if someone's there. And the house seems to be empty.

Where the hell did everyone go?
Great I cannot believe they abandoned me.

Maybe, I'm being a little melodramatic.

I climb out of my bed and walk to the door. I wonder who the hell keeps knocking cause they keep knocking and pressing that annoying bell continuously.

I've decided to kill the person on the other side.

I open the door and a very worried and angry Robert is standing. I didn't see him from yesterday. I didn't even call him or text him. I was so engrossed in the story, I forgot that people existed. That's how I read, no one disturbs me too when I read. That way, my parents are extremely cool.

I read stories without food and water. That's how crazy I am about reading.

"What the hell Lisa? I thought you left? No call? No message? Are you even fucking alive?" He spits out angrily.

I stand there in shock not quite able to respond.

I open the door wider so he can come in. But he just stands there.

"Aren't you going to come in?" I ask him finally.

He looks at me for a while, clearly he's angry. His eyes say everything.

He sits on the sofa and I grab a water bottle for him.  Maybe some water will calm him down. He snatches the water bottle from me and drinks the entire content in just a minute.

"I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in reading that I didn't know you called and texted." I blurt out finally.

He looks up at me and just sighs.

"Lisa, I was freaking out. You didn't even send a good morning message, no late night call yesterday, I..i...thought you left home." His voice cracks at the last words.

Did he really think I would leave without a goodbye? Maybe coming to think of it, leaving without a goodbye is best.Because it will save both of us the drama and I can't see him leave me.

I close my eyes tightly and take deep breaths. This topic always has my blood pressure rising. Just the thought of Robert boosts my adrenaline uncontrollably.

"I wouldn't leave without a goodbye. When I read, I forget the world. It helps me escape reality for a while. I like that world better." I say so quietly that's it's a merely a whisper.

I don't make eye contact at all. I don't think I can bring myself to look at his eyes now because I will break down there.

"Umm...I have to go. Grandma has not been doing too well." And with that he storms out of the room.

I didn't even ask him what happened to his grandma.

Yesterday, I had two days left. Today, this happened. Tomorrow, I'll be in mid air at 11pm.

What's happening  to me?

Do I love Robert?

Why the hell did I get myself into this in the first place?

Oh god! Please help me!

I wanted this to be the best summer.

Oh well, it has been the best but why does good things always come to an end?
