JC POV
I could barely sleep, and I had reached the limit—there was no turning back now. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I wrote Klinton a letter and left it in the hut. I couldn't keep going on like this. There was nothing left for me here anymore.
The family I had never felt like a real family, and now they were all gone. Dead. Haylie was the closest thing I'd ever had, and the thought of her being in the spirit world was tearing me apart.
Even though the spirit world had banished me, I didn't care anymore. I was going to take one last chance through the portal, and this time, I wasn't coming back. There was nothing for me to return to, no hope left in this world. Without Haylie, it was all meaningless.
