The phone rings
She answers and says she understands
She dashes to her closet and frantically gets dressed
He asks what it was about
She kisses him and holds his face for a moment
I love you, ok?
He laughs and says he loves her too but that doesn't explain anything
Where are you going
When will you be back
She grabs a black bag from under the bed and says
I'm not
Wha-wait
What is happening?
She's buzzing around like a bee
So you - you're just going to leave then?
I have no choice
But - after all this - and you said--
I meant it but I have to go
This isn't right - you're just going to leave me and not come back
His heart sank
She didn't express any emotions
I have to
This isn't a debate
Oh ok so that's it then
After all we've been through
You get some random phone call and that's it
Yes
Why are you doing this?!
I can't tell you
We can talk about this
A tear started to well up in her eye and her chin began to quiver
No we can't
-- I don't care what you do with or to my house or my things
What does that even mean?
I don't understand
And you don't need to
Just know it was real and I will always love you
No! You don't just get to -
She grabs him and kisses him one last time
Then forget me and move on
She grabs her bag and sprints out the door
He just watched his newly found reason for existence walk straight out of his life and had no idea how to cope
