My hands shake as I wheel my suitcase out of the room. My head is a mess. Should I notify the academy that I’m leaving? My training doesn’t start until next week. I can sort it out when I know more.
The whole way to the airport I call my father on redial, each time getting nowhere. Just answer your fucking phone. I even try Pietro’s number on the off chance someone will answer, but nobody does.
The cab pulls into the airport and after paying my fare I get out, juggling my baggage. I race over to check in with minutes to spare. I’m a total wreck and it’s earning me a lot of attention from security.
I take a seat and try to focus on my breathing. Getting myself worked up is not going to help anyone. I glance at my watch. One more hour until the plane leaves, which means nine hours and I’ll be with him. The thought comforts me.
Nine more hours until I see him.
Everything is going to be okay.
He has to be okay. He can’t leave me.
Like I left him.
