LAYLA
I hear Jake tell me that he is thankful for the outfit that I made for him but then he turns around and walks out of the room as if we did not just share a few moments. I realize now that everything I am feeling and thinking about him is all just in my head. He is clearly choosing someone from the world that is at his feet.
I do not know what it is about his tone of voice but it just sounded different from the rest of our conversation tonight. It is almost as if he wanted to cut things short. As the door closes behind him and he disappears I know that I will not be seeing him soon again.
I shake my head trying to get my thoughts in order and then I close my laptop so that I can see if I can find the first van back to the hotel.
