Elliot POV

Four days ago I was happy. And today? I don't know what to do with myself today. I'm going to go crazy if I stay home one more second. I told her to call me whenever she wanted.

I gave her space because I thought she needed it. Now I'm just rethinking all my decisions.

I had a job but I quit a month ago. I needed to clear my head and find something that wouldn't break me. I had a wife. We got married very young. I don't regret the separation, we got divorced before the marriage even started, and that marriage was just one of the mistakes in my life. I had my life planned out. That was another mistake for me because I didn't know that she would come into my life and destroy all my plans. It turns out that she was the only good thing I have right now. Now I've ruined it.

I ruined the only happy thing in my life. I met her after I got divorced. I didn't think much of it before, but she was my light and she is still today. Our friendship was full of happy moments, good and bad decisions, but always together. A week ago, I received a job offer in Rome. I was looking somewhere to get away. It seemed like a good decision at the time. I told her about the offer four days ago. We had dinner, we talked, we laughed and then i told her.

I told her that I was leaving and that I didn't know when I would be back. She was happy for me, but I already saw tears in her eyes which she hid well. I wanted her to go with me because she is my best friend and the only family I have. I couldn't ask her that because she already has a family here, a real family and that was my biggest mistake. I didn't ask her to come with me. I didn't tell her the whole truth. I was afraid.

I didn't tell her.

I didn't tell her.

It literally took me a minute to get ready, take the car keys and go to her. I have to tell her the truth why I have to leave. Maybe she will forgive me.

Half way to her apartment, I realized that I hadn't brought my cell phone with me. I guess now I just have to hope that she is home. It was already dark outside. I knew I was close, because in a little while I would cross the bridge.

It was raining and the only thing I could see was the lights of the car driving in front of me. The car in front began to slide on the road. I tried to brake but the same thing happened to me.

Rain.

Splash.

Three cars in the water.

Dark.

I'm drowning...
