Chapter 10

The point of views is going to switch quite often in this chapter to beware of that. Also watch out for the D A, you'll see what I mean. Message me if you have any questions.I also don't speak any Italian so don't blame me for horrible misgrammarness blame google translator.

What I first realized is that even through the letter, it sounded exactly like Drea. She was gone, truly gone. I had so many emotions going through me right now. I was pissed, at her, at me, at the world, at everyone. How could she do this, I just wanted to rip that letter up into tiny little pieces and burn it. I knew I couldn't though because that was the last piece of Drea I had and would ever have.

I arrived in Italy and welcomed the warm weather and foreign atmosphere. On the plane I realized that I was going to start over. I have 5 months of school to complete and then I will be finished high school. I would return home to Toronto and go to the academy. I have my plan and now all I need to do is stick to it. I am starting over; from now on I am no longer Drea. I took out all my piercings. I am going to go by Andy, Andy McNally. I smile at that name and think this is good for me, a fresh start.

Drea has been gone for 2 weeks. She isn't going to come back; I have accepted it and I am trying to forget about her. I throw myself into work. I am no longer the old Sam. I live and work by my rules now, no girl is going to hold me back or tell me what to do. I think Shaw and Jerry have noticed a change in me but I still hang out with them every day after work at the Black Penny. I think Best knows what's wrong but he hasn't mentioned anything which I am grateful for.

I am loving it in Italy, one month in and I have seen the leaning tower of Pisa, been to the coliseum and eating so much gelato that I'm about to explode. I am so immersed in my studies, I think this is the best I have even done in school. Andy McNally will not settle for a C anymore. It is getting easier to forget about Sam, I only think of him a couple times a day instead of all the time. I called my dad once I got here but I haven't been able to call him back once he mentioned to me that his rookie is so sulky these past few weeks. I knew I did that to Sam and I couldn't deal with my dad especially knowing that.

Two months have gone by. I still go to work; I went on a couple of dates with a girl I met at a bar with Jerry and Shaw. I don't think it will go anywhere but it is a nice distraction from work and her. I don't let myself think about her anymore. I am moving on, but I still can't help but think about what she is doing right now.

Three months since I came to Italy and I get the worst stomach bug for at least a week. I can't keep anything down. I walk down to the main street in search for a pharmacy to get some Pepto Bismol.

"Scusi signore, sai dov'è la farmacia è?" (Excuse me sir, do you know where a pharmacy is?) I ask a man in Italian.

"Sì, proprio lì sotto." (yes, just down there.) he replied point about 100 m away from us.

"Grazie" I responded. I made my way into the pharmacy and stopped one of the pharmacist to help me.

"Ciao, dove posso trovare una medicina per calmare il mio stomaco?" (Hello, where can I find some medicine to calm my stomach?)

"Posso chiederti quali sono i sintomi?" (May I ask what are your symptoms) the pharmacist questioned me.

"Il mio stomaco è sconvolto, non riesco a tenere il cibo verso il basso e sono stanco tutto il tempo." (My stomach is upset, I can't keep any food down and I am tired all the time.) I responded.

"È possibile che tu possa essere incinta?" (Is it possible you oculd be pregnant?)I stared blankly at him. God how could I be so stupid, I haven't had my period in 3 months and we had unprotected sex. Everything just came crashing down on me. I looked t the pharmacist with a scared look. "Prendo te un test di gravidanza." (I'll get you a pregnancy test)

Three months since Drea is gone and I know that I promised myself I wouldn't think about her but when I tried calling her cell phone all it said was it was out of service. I was worried. After shift when there wasn't anyone there I went into the filling room and searched for the day Drea got arrested and the case with the break in. It was then that I realized I didn't even know her last name. I look in the database for a 'Drea' , the trouble was there was not a file on her to be found, it was like she didn't even exist.
