Kapitel 27: Twenty Six

I was zipping up my big blue suitcase when a knock came to the door. "Sam, I'm sorry. I had no idea," Abby's voice broke through the door. I opened it up after a short moment. "When I returned home earlier, your father were just about to knock. If I had known that Namjoon were with you, I would've told your dad to stop by a little later," she explained the situation to me. I'm not mad at her. She did nothing wrong. She pulled me into a tight carefree hug. "Are you going somewhere?" Abbs asked as she pushed me slightly away, eyeing me confusingly. I pressed my lips together and nodded. "Running away had never been a solution, Sam," she advised me. I smiled at her sadly. "I just have to get away for a little while," I assured her. The mere thought of being so far away from him kills me inside. "What about your responsibilities, not even to mention work?" My friend questioned. As I were packing up my belongings, I thought everything through. Where do I go? How long will I stay? When will I return? "I will give Professor Harolds a call and ask him to contact the Substitute, to fill in for me. A few weeks would do it," I informed her. She nodded in understanding, but before she could question anything else, I concluded: "I will leave tonight and show up unannounced on my brother's porch. Clear my mind and come back on a clean sleeve." Without another word, she pulled me into a second hug, much tighter than the first one.
