"I have to go with them." I said softly. *Matt's jaw dropped open.
"You can't." He sputtered. "You, don't, you can't."
"You don't understand." I replied calmly. "I'm not like you and I never have been. This has to happen." *Emma started crying and furiously wiped at her face. I felt guilty and maybe a bit selfish but I knew that they would be perfectly fine without me there.
"It's for the best." I stated as I stepped away from them. "I'm sorry." Then everything turned back.
