I had to get away. Had to let him heal so he could get on with his life.
Without me.
Tears clouded my eyes, my voice thick as I pressed a final kiss to his head.
“Be happy, Matty.”
Then I walked away into my darkness, knowing I’d never see the light again.

I can’t stop crying. Please come back.

What did I do wrong, Seb?
I’m so sorry. I love you so much. Please talk to me.

I don’t believe what you said about there not being anything to fight for. I was there, Seb. I was part of it. You can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to me.
8:12 a.m.
I had a heart to heart with Leo. He’s sorry about what happened. He was just caught off guard because he walked in on us…like that. And he’s worried about you hurting me.
I explained that being with you doesn’t hurt, it just feels right.
Meant to be.
This hurts tho, Seb. You not being here or talking to me.
I don’t even know if you’re reading these, but I told you I’m not giving up.

Please message me that you’re okay. Please.
I’ll even take one of those passive aggressive thumbs up
