Where She Went 85 -184

After they left the park, they went to eat at some place that Mia had been to many times before. It doesn't seem like a place that a famous cellist would go, but all of the people that worked there knew her really well. After they ate, they went to the subway and walked all around town. During this time, they kept talking to each other, but never brought up the past. He however, kept thinking about how much he missed her and that all he wanted to do was ask what happened back then. During this time, he keeps flashing back to the past and thinking about all of the things that has happened. He thinks about when they went camping, and Mia was always afraid to go, but she ended up going with him. They stayed out on some old logging paths and set up a tent and just talked all night. Adam had made them burgers for supper over an open fire and had set up the tent for Mia. As they laid there and talked they told each other they wanted to be together forever.
After going to the subway, they went and bowled for awhile. They used to bowl together all the time, but Mia decided not to so Ben bowled for the bother of them. After bowling, they kept walking around town and decided to go see the statue of liberty. During this time is when the past came up. They had started talking about what had happened to Mia's parents and brother and things like that, and Adam wanted to blurt out "What happened with us?!", but didn't know if he should or not. Then he decided he needed to have a smoke, and when he did, Mia said he should quit. She said that "quitting isn't hard, it's deciding to quit that is hard." All of a sudden Adam just blurted out "is that how you quit me?" and just like that, it was all out on the table. Then she says, "so...he finally says it." and Adam replies, "was I not supposed to?" Mia starts to explain by saying that Adam couldn't be himself around her and that he never really talked to her. He kept firing back and telling her that he tried everything he could to reach out to her (and he really did), but nothing was working. After she went to college she started not to return his calls and just left him...alone. With no explanation. Mia said that it wasn't just him, it was both of them. And that nobody could be themselves around her, but that he hardly even touched her. He told her that he tried to but she freaked and he just wanted her to heal. She said that that was just one time, but he just said that he just wanted her to be okay. She replied by saying "I know, you just wanted to rescue me." And he gets upset because she says it like its a bad thing. Mia then says that she knew he was just trying to help, but it felt, at the time, that he was more of just pushing her away.
