I think when Scarlett leaves I'm going to go to Edinburgh for a while.

How...how long?

I don't know. Lavinia invited me over for Christmas and I think I might want to be there for that - I've never really had Christmas, you know?

I just wanted to say... I don't blame you for what happened. I don't. I just feel like I need to get away for a while, and Edinburgh's pretty...

And you should have Christmas.

I understand. I just...I'll miss you. You won't stay away forever, will you? I'm losing Quinn and I don't want to lose you too.

I never would have let him hurt you, Tristan. And I never would have hurt you myself.

I won't stay forever, there's too much here. It's just right now, it is too much. And Scarlett's going away for weeks and Eric's leaving for months and I just don't feel safe at home and I want to get away for a bit.

I know... I should know, you wouldn't. I do know, he just... came out of nowhere, in my house. I thought I was safe in that house. And he had a gun. And it was all just... bad. Really bad.

I know. I know it was bad. I think I'll be sick to my stomach every time I think of it from now until forever.

I'm so sorry he was able to make you feel unsafe. It isn't fair. He shouldn't be able to do that to people. I love you, Tristan. Just be careful, okay?

Yeah. Me too.

I don't want it to ruin my life though. I don't want to spiral back downwards to the places I've been before. I feel like shit right now, depressed and jumpy and awful, but not depressed enough that I don't want to try.

And I don't want it to ruin us. We're more than that.

Um.

Do you want to maybe join me and Charlotte?

Screened

[myeyesarehollow]

Yes.

Yes I really do. I don't want to be here either.

You're right, Tristan. We are more than that. Thank you.

Then lets get away from all this. We can leave all the bad behind for a while.
