   Summary

   ((if i said please, would you stick around?))

   "I'm making the right choice," he whispers to himself, heaving in a painfully slow breath, trying to bring a halt to his thoughts as they attempt to spin out of control. There's an ache in the center of his chest, and he can't tell if it's from the lack of oxygen or if it's an empty space that can only be filled by the people he left behind. "I'm doing the right thing."
