It was hard for Luca, seeing Drew's face. It brought him back to a time in his life which he was trying to desperately to pretend didn't exist. She held good memories but they were inevitably accompanied by the bad. He could practically hear his parent's disapproving lectures. He could see the pitiful looks his younger siblings gave him. He could feel the pain letting his father hit him over and over. Who was Luca to fight back? He had deserved everything that they did to him.
But would things have actually been different if Luca had known about Drew's parents? He didn't want to think about it but some part of him forced him to. Would he still have left? Possibly. Would he have gone and said goodbye? Maybe, but that was too difficult to tell. Perhaps he would have tried to convince Drew to run away, too. Now, that had seemed likely. "You were always the only person that mattered to me, Drew. And I'm sorry that I hurt you. I wish things had been different," Luca relented. But he knew what it would mean if he had went to say goodbye to Drew. Seeing her would have convinced him to stay and he didn't want that. He wanted to run away into exile, and he knew Drew would have convinced him otherwise. Even if she didn't say anything, Luca knew that saying goodbye was going to make it impossible to leave.
"I need you to know that I never left because of you. What happened between us.. It didn't change how I felt about you, Drew. You were caught in the crossfire of my self-destruction," Luca lamented, his mind stinging with regret. "I was doomed from the start but I shouldn't have dragged you down with me," he continued, his eyes darkening.
Luca smiled, from eye to eye. It was only seconds before that he was recounting every bad thing that happened to, but hearing those words from Drew's mouth threw all those thoughts out of his mind. "Good. Because I am willing to work as hard as I can to get you back," Luca maintained. He nodded with remorse, slowly working on his understanding of Drew's side of things. "I still can be," Luca reassured, his expression softening. He still wanted to be her best friend, her main confidante. And if that meant returning, he'd do so. He'd just have to find a place to stay..
Entering the neighborhood next to the coffee shop, Luca looked over at Drew, "Mind guiding me to where I'm supposed to be going?"
