Raven stayed in her bed for quite some time; maybe half an hour…maybe a whole hour, she really wasn’t sure. Maybe it was no more than ten minutes…

Jett wasn’t coming in. Acubens wasn’t coming in. And nobody was going with her to California. But she was. She was going right now. Slowly Raven got up, and moved to the door. There was someone out in the apartment, a quick half second glance told her it was Acubens. So. There went the easy way to do her escape plan. Oh well. She had a secondary plan, she had had it in place for well over a week now, just in case she had to make a quick escape.

It was so simple, just a mirror on the back seat of her car, nothing fancy, just a nice, large mirror that she had made sure she could squeeze through. Sure it was a tight fit, but she could make it work.

She was packed in record time…of course it had helped that everything was at least semi ready to go…and what she couldn’t take this trip she could always come back for no problem. The blonde looked at the two suitcases that were packed and sighed. This was really it. All she could manage to take this time around…mostly clothes and toiletries…but…hey. This wasn’t even a move now. It was running away. It was just running the hell away.

Raven powered up quickly and took the bags into mirrorspace with her, bringing them out in the back of her car. She drew in a deep breath and took out the note from her glove compartment. She had written it weeks ago…weeks and weeks ago. Slowly Lesath read it over again, sighing.

Dear Jett,

If you’re reading this, it means it’s done I suppose. I’ve left. I’ve moved out of this blasted city and on to somewhere that I’ll feel more comfortable, and be able to have a normal life. I suppose this also means I never got a chance to bring you around to my side…and you’re not coming with me. I don’t think I can begin to tell you how much that breaks my heart…because…it does. And I know you’re most likely feeling the same way about your heart too…and I hate this. But I’m not ever going to be happy in this city. It scares me. And I’m sorry, but nothing you say can change that. I need to start somewhere where I can be free to just be me. And…I wish from the bottom of my heart that you were included in my freedom to be me…because I love you more than words can express, Jett Draven.

If you ever change your mind and want to join me, I’ll be in California. Relaxing on the beach and modeling. I already have a job…so look for me on billboards and whatnot. It kills me to write this, and I know it’s going to kill me to pull my car away from our apartment…but I want to be happy.

I’m only sorry that I wasn’t enough of a reason for you to get out of the city.

Sorry I wasn’t good enough.

Yours always,

Raven Moore

Lesath had to swallow hard to stop the tears that were prickling in the corners of her eyes, but finally she sighed, slipping back through the mirror and looking around her bedroom for the last time. She placed the letter gently on her pillow and hesitated before swiping Jetts’, and a few of his shirts…she was pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. And if he did, well.

She wanted to take him with her, even if it just meant the memories of him.

Finally she was off, back through the mirror and in her car, Raven once again.

She drove as fast as was legally possible, and refused to let the tears flow until she was safely out of the city limits, only then would she let herself cry. Only then did she let herself really realize what was going on.

Goodbye, Jett.

Goodbye Destiny City.

Good riddance.
