Audrey sat in her room. The room her and Jack had shared not even a day ago. She just couldn't grasp all of today's events. She just couldn't believe that Jack, the man she had loved was gone. He just couldn't be. They hadn't even had the chance to talk about what had happened between them. The worse thing wasn't that he was gone. It was what she had said to him before he had died. She wished so badly that she could go back in time and tell him the truth. To tell him that she loved him and that they could get past today. She hated herself right now. She hated herself for making him believe that she hated him and that they didn't have another chance.
Audrey looked at the suitcase next to her. She couldn't stay in L.A. or go back to Washington. There were too many memories. She just couldn't deal with all of those memories right now. Jack was the only one who understood her and understood the person she was today. She'd just give anything to go back to the way things were before today had happened.
She heard a knock at her door. She wasn't even going to bother answering it. She knew it was her father. He didn't want her to be alone. He knew how she got when she was alone. She would be better off alone though. All the people she loved ended up dying. First Paul and then Jack. She didn't want to curse anyone else with this. She was just a mess. Paul was right, her and Jack wouldn't last. She just never thought that things would get this bad.
Audrey planned on leaving in two days. Jack's funeral was tomorrow. That was fast. They probably just wanted to get this over with. She just had to get through tomorrow. She had to try to hold herself together. She didn't want everyone to see her cry. Especially her father. He was already worried enough about her. She was probably making it worse by not answering the door. She'd just tell him that she fell asleep. He'd probably believe that. Today was an exhausting day.
Audrey moved her suitcase off of the bed and laid down. She needed to rest her head and try to clear her mind, which she knew wasn't going to happen anytime soon. She just couldn't stop thinking about Jack and everything that had happened today. It just wasn't fair. Jack shouldn't be dead. He was a great man. He sacrificed himself for his country and the one's that he loved. She just hoped that he could be happy now and in a better place. He didn't deserve to die that way. He deserved better. Audrey felt herself start to drift asleep. Maybe sleep would help. Maybe it'd help her get today off of her mind. At least she could help.
THE END
