After speaking with Celie on the phone I had a renounced sense of hope. I was feeling good about my decision. But I was also feeling really guilty about it as well. I was feeling guilty about Wendy. I knew that she would be angry with me when I left without a word. She heard me tell Leia that I was leaving, but I don’t think Wendy really believed it because she never said anything to me about it afterwards. She probably thought that was just my way of getting out of the situation that I was in.
But I can’t stay here any longer. I can’t bear it. It’s too much drama, too much damage. I feel like everything will settle down after I leave.
I only had one small bag of clothes that I took with me and I left early in the morning while Wendy and her parents were still asleep.
A car had actually been sent to me and I was sure that it was the man on the phone that had sent it to pick me up.
He said that he was my financial supporter so I was trying to wrack my brain about why he would be helping me. Could he be in charge of some organization that helps children in need? I’d come up with a few different ideas but that one seemed like the most likely one.
It was a long drive to the airport but when I finally got there, I had to go to the counter and get my ticket. Which again, he paid for. I felt a little excited right now. Like I was really doing this. I was getting the hell out of here and not looking back.
While the woman was printing out my ticket she told me that there was a delivery for me as well. So she went out the back office and came back with a large envelope.
I opened it and it was full of cash. So I quickly closed it and I looked at the envelope but there was no name on it.
“Do you know who dropped this off?” I asked, more than curious.
“No. I’m sorry I don’t.” She said. And I stood there in stunned silence for a moment.
She gave me my ticket and I walked over to the gate and waited until they were ready to start boarding.
My anonymous financial supporter. He’s the only one that would be able to do this. He’s the only one that would be able to actually give me this much money and just leave it here for me.
I didn’t put the money in my suitcase obviously. I put it in my bag that I kept with me and made sure that the bag was kept in front of me at all times.
I hadn’t counted it but there had to be at least a few thousand dollars there.
Maybe he wasn’t from some organization that helps children in need. I think he’s a lot more than that. I think this has come out of his own pocket. I think he had power and wealth that I have never seen before. Nothing I could ever imagine having myself.
That’s when it finally hit me. I had been a burden on Celie and this benefactor of mine for way too long. For as long as I can remember. I couldn’t do it anymore.
When I get to Seattle, I’m gonna find myself a job and start to take care of myself. Well, I will continue to take care of myself. But this time I won’t have anyone there telling me what a horrible job I’m doing. Not unless I get an asshole boss.
As soon as it was time to get on the plane, I found my seat and I sat there with my bag on my lap and I waited for the plane to take off.
I started feeling a strong headache coming on out of nowhere. The twins' faces started flashing in my mind again and my heart started to feel really heavy knowing that I would never see them again.
I know that I was fooling myself thinking that they were actually going to miss me. Even after the night that we spent together. But I just knew that I was going to miss them. No matter how fast they were going to move on.
But I guess Tristan will get to marry Leia now and everyone will be happy. At least their father will be. And Leia. I’m not too sure about Tristan. I’m sure he’ll find other women to satisfy him when he doesn’t want to go home and deal with that bitch.
