I walked back home, passing everyone in the square and I felt Joey following me as I did so. He was shouting my name in a bid to get me to turn around and talk to him. I really didn't want to talk to him about leaving, I didn't want to leave him... I wish he knew that.

"Lauren!" He called as he ran in front of me and held me steady. "Please dont leave me."

"Joey, I-"

"No Lauren, I can make things better... I promise... We'll get through this together i'm not letting you go again." He spoke softly as I closed me eyes and shook my head.

"I'm sorry but you can't make things better, Only I can do that. Believe me leaving you is the last thing I want to do but Walford is too full of bad memories... I can't risk the relaps." I chocked on my words. "I need to go."

I could feel Joey's eyes on me as I walked up the stairs and approched the black front door, opened it and walked in. I sunk in a pile on the otherside of the door just as I closed it. I knew leaving would be the best thing for me, but was it the best thing for Joey?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Max!" Joey shouted as he walked towards the Car Lot.

"Can I help you mate... Please don't tell me this involves my daughter." Max rubbed his bald head.

"Yeah, It does. She wants to leave..." He gulped.

"Well i'm sorry Joey but that's down to her, I can't make decisions for her anymore..." Max sighed. Admitedly the thought of his daughter leaving did upset him but this was because of her heath, nothings more important than that.

"I guess so." Joey walked off slowly when his phone buzzed in his pocket

I'm sorry Joey, I'm leaving... I'm headed to the airport now. Believe me when I say leaving you is one of the hardest things i've ever had to do in my life and it's killing me right this second and it will for the rest of my life. Me and you could have been so perfect if everything else didn't get in the way... If I wasn't so pathetic we'd still be together right now. Please believe that i'm sorry and you will forever be in my heart, That will never change. I promise you. I love you Joey x

Joey walked inside the Car Lot and pushed open the door. Max stood up in shock and stared at Joey as he took some car keys off the counter.

"Joey! What the hell are you doing?" Max shouted as he ran outside to see Joey get in the car and drive off madly down the street.
