I looked down at the shining lighter as I took a deep breath. I looked back to the Tibetan mountains as I rose a hand to throw the lighter over the cliff but...I couldn't do it. My hand clenched the lighter as I put my arm back down and flicked it open, watching the small flame dance.
"You asswipe." I muttered under my breath before glancing back down.
After all he did to both Nate and I, the right thing to do would be to throw it over, right?
"If so, why can't I?" I asked myself before looking back over the landscape.
"Everything alright, sweetheart?" Chloe's voice spoke up as she walked up next to me, resting her arms on the snowy, wooden fence.
"Yeah." I said distractedly, eyes focused on the lighter.
"You want it?" I asked her as I held it out to her.
"No, you keep it. He was important to you as well." Chloe told me as I glanced over at her.
"Do you miss him?" I asked her as she chuckled lightly.
"I would be lying if I said no. What about you?" she responded as I shrugged.
"Same boat." I said simply before putting the lighter in my pocket.
"Thought you left." I said with a sad smile.
"Without talking to my favorite sidekick." Chloe joked before lightly punching me in the shoulder.
We shared a small laugh before she stood up straight.
"I'm going to head out now. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything or if you just want to talk and maybe hang out." she said as I nodded.
"Alright." I said as she patted me on the shoulder before leaving.
"Hey, everything okay?" Nate shouted from a distance as I sighed.
"No." I whispered before putting on a brave face.
"Yeah! I'm good!" I called out as I started making my way to both him and Elena.
I already wasn't liking this...
