Two hours later, Jeff returned from the gym.
"Taylor!" He called, but there was no reply. Only Liger greeted him.
He walked through to the kitchen to see if Taylor was in the back garden. On the table was an envelope with his name on it. He snatched it up, tore it open the pulled out the paper. He began reading:
"Dearest Jeff.
To say that I do not love you or appreciate everything you have done for me is a big lie. In two days, you have shown me more kindnesses than anyone else in the whole 18 years I've been alive and for this I am eternally grateful.
By the time you read this, I will be gone. Where? I'm not sure. For how long? Still not sure. I just have to escape for a while. If we are destined to be together, somehow it'll happen. You've just got to have faith, baby.
I know it seems like I'm running away from my problems, but I have to deal with them first of all within myself before I do anything else.
Please tell Matt and Amy I'm sorry for being rude before, and thank them for their concern. Also, could you tell my mother that I've left? I know it's a lot to ask, but she should know.
Also enclosed are the song lyrics to my favourite song, "Beautiful" by HIM. Ville Valo's words completely describes the way I feel about you.
All my love forever
Taylor

Jeff looked at the song lyrics. As he read the words, tears rolled down his face, smudging the ink on the page he was holding.
"Please be okay," he whispered. "Please come back to me."
