The press were outside the hospital, I wasn't sure how they knew which hospital to find me at but I assumed it was because of that picture I posted earlier. My twitter and instagram were flooded, I had to turn off notifications and everything. Not to mention that Tom had texted me again.

New imessage from Tom

Are you okay? I saw that picture. Were you in the hospital this whole time? Please reply. Please let me know you're okay.

Ro was talking with security and doctors as they figured out a way to get me out of the hospital without the press swarming me. I was sitting on the hospital bed, my clothes back on and my legs crossed as I waited. I replied to him.

Thanks for letting the world know what I meant to you. Bye.

"Okay, let's go. They put my car in the garage exit for the ambulances." Ro explained. We left, leaving the hospital with no one bothering us, I did keep my head down though to avoid anyone noticing our car and following us home. I didn't need them bothering Ro's apartment like vultures.

"I texted him back." I told her. I was sitting in the passenger seat as she drove.

She gasped. "To the new message? Oh my god, what did you say?"

I told her and she laughed. "That's so petty, I love you." She giggled. "He doesn't deserve to know about your life and all the personal details if he's gonna dismiss your whole 2 months together and act like it was nothing."

"I agree."

She still wasn't answering me. The only message I got was just one she sent me. Which, in fairness, I deserved. I lied. To everyone. Except my family and therapist, I didn't want to but as I was explaining the story on Oprah.. it just happened. Once the first lie came out, everything that followed was a lie. I talked about the storm, but I said that I was alone in a cave and she was sheltered in another. I'm so stupid. I opened my phone to send her another message.

I hope your day is okay. I hope you're healthy. I'm sorry, Andy.

I started sending her texts everyday for the last 3 weeks. No new replies.
