58- Lost

LANA'S POV

"Lana, you need to call me back. This is bad."

"Lana, I know you're there. Call me back."

"I know you're probably feeling embarrassed, but all your remaining online drawings have sold out. All of them. There is always a silver lining in every situation, Lana. Don't give up yet."

"Call me, we need to talk."

After listening to Mrs. McClain's voice messages, I switched off my phone and tossed it on the passenger seat. I knew that if I tried to call her, she was going to try with everything in her to talk me out of running away instead of staying. I didn't want her to try and make me feel better when she knew too that my life was over.

I wanted to drive until I ran out of gas and found myself in a place that I couldn't recognize and no one could recognize me. I wanted to be alone. I wanted those walls that came down when I met Dax and Xavier to build up again and keep me from pain. I wanted to feel nothing and be completely oblivious to the direction that my life was facing.
