Endings might mean new beginnings, but there was still pain in the end. There was still sadness that Alyssa couldn't shake as she watched the two movers that she hired hauling her things in the back of a moving truck.
She chewed on her bottom lip, trying to keep it from quivering.
Against her own will, her eyes shifted left and right, looking all around her as she stood in front of her dorm building for the last time.
She knew that she shouldn't look for Elias. He abandoned her without any warning.
Just a stupid little note that meant nothing to her. She must've meant the same to him.
Alyssa directed her eyes back to the movers, who were carrying the last two boxes of what she owned into the back of the moving truck.
She was about to be on her way to New York City, and she wasn't going to look back. She already said goodbye to Zoe, and she had said goodbye to everything else when Elias left her behind.
