Ari is dating someone new, and she doesn't really know about me.

She escaped a cult and her ex was one of those crazy vamp dudes so I guess it makes sense why they're being more careful.

But it's weird.

I woke up here and for a minute it was weirdly comforting just to be next to a warm body again, but it's not the same. Not right.

She's cool and all but it's never going to be the same for the rest of us.

I mean, actually who knows, right? Maybe ash will like her or something, eventually. He's bi, and she wants to move to maine. Maybe they'll be together and Ash will stop being so angry and standoffish.

In my head sometimes I think everything would have been different if I'd taken over that day and stopped them from leaving, but it wouldn't have been better. Probably worse.

I've known a lot of people and there are a lot of people I never said goodbye to. I don't think I ever got to say goodbye to Emma. Or my mom. I think that's how it works. You can love someone really hard. You can love someone with all of you. But even when you let them go, those are the people you don't get to say goodbye to, because even if you let them go, you don't. You keep them, and you hold them, and maybe some day somehow they come back, even if it's only in a memory, or a dream.
