I nod and stay silent for a minute. "I appreciate that. I'm not sure what I would have done otherwise." I say, staring at the road.

"There it is. It's always a catch with you men. I actually thought I could escape. But no, looks like I'll have to pay up." I slam my hands on the dashboard. "I'll admit, you actually had me believing you're nice act for a second. Not anymore."

I point to a building on the side of the road. "That's my place. An apartment a few floors up." I say. But under my breath grumble "Seriously what is up with businessmen and everything needing to have a price tag on it."

I roll my eyes and get out of the car. "We are not done with this conversation." I say.

.

I take the stairs instead of the elevator. Even though I'm on the third floor. I knock at my door and walk in. And I freeze. Tommy's there. And so is another girl. And I know her. Abby.

"Sweetheart. Or I shouldn't call you that anymore. I was only dating you so I can marry you and get my inheritance. But found someone that's better. So, I guess I don't need you anymore. You can go. Your stuff's all ready packed. Don't worry, I left your jewelry to Abby." Thomas says.

I dashed my room. I can't leave all my jewelry. I just have one piece. I pluck the silver pendant out of my jewelry box. Not my anymore. It's the only thing I have left from my parents. I grab it and the off-white suitcase.
