Everything I'm Not

"Dakota, you don't have to go," Jack whined as I packed my bag.

"I can't stand to see him, Jack. It hurts too much," I sighed and zipped it up.

"Dakota Doll," he pouted.

"Jack-o-lantern," I smirked.

"Seriously, you can't leave. What will Zack think?"

"He already knows, Zack, this can't get any worse," I sighed.

"What if I told you he was right behind you?" I turned around to see Zack looking at me with wide eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"Leaving. I've got some shit to work out," I forced a smile and walked passed him. He grabbed my arm and turned me around to look at him.

"But-"

"Bye, Zack. Maybe I'll see you when you get home," I shrugged him off and walked out to where the cab was waiting to take me to the airport. Where I was leaving Zachary Steven Merrick. For good. At least I hope.
