Elijah didn't want to leave without seeing Murphy at least one last time. He hoped that it wasn't the last time, but he had no way of knowing anything. He let Shay lead him down to Murphy's room and he slipped inside while the other boy waited by the door. "Hey Murph," he said softly as he reached out to try and feel for the other boy's hand or arm.

Murphy stayed quiet for a moment but he knew his wheezing gave him away. Tucked down in the corner of the room, fingers curled in his hair. "I am right here." He said, taking Elijah's hand.

Elijah frowned at the sound of that wheezing, and he knelt down with Murphy once the boy had taken a hold of his hand. "This is kind of scary, isn't it?" he asked softly. "I don't know how we're suppose to go back. It's strange, I got use to how it was, is that weird?"

"I don't know what to do, Elijah." he said softly, frowning as he held his hand. "I don't know how to be a real person anymore. What if Seth and Vegas forgot about me?"

"They could never forget about you," Elijah said softly. "I know that because I could never forget about you. And I won't. I want to see you again, and talk to you, and know how you're doing. You don't have to be who you were, just be who you are."

Murphy sniffled and he tried not to get upset. Elijah always knew the right things to say. "Will you call me?" He asked softly. "I live so far away from all of you." It didn't seem fair.

"Shay said we can move where ever we want, we can be closer one day," Elijah assured Murphy before he leaned in and pressed a kiss to Murphy's cheek. "I will call you every day if you want. I want to talk to you and Parker, you guys became my bestfriends. I never had that before."

"I want you to." He nodded and he wrapped his arms around Elijah. "I am going to miss you so much." he whispered. "You have no idea. I didn't even want to leave."

"I'm gonna miss you, too," Elijah whispered back as he closed his eyes and held onto Murphy more tightly. "I was scared, too." Scared he'd have no where to go. Scared for Adam, even if he didn't love the man, it was hard not to develop some attachment after four years.

Murphy rubbed his back and just let his head lean against Elijah's. "Maybe you and Shay can come visit and stay with me a while. I'd like that." Because he'd spent so much time with them.

"Parker, too," Elijah said softly. Reagan had been with them too, but not nearly as long. The man was nice, but the bond just wasn't the same with Reagan as it was with the other boys. "It'll be okay. You have us and your family, it'll be okay."

Murphy nodded and he clung to him for another moment before letting him go. He honestly didn't think that he was going to get to see them again but he had to cling to the hope for now.

"I love you, Murph," Elijah whispered softly, and he held onto Murphy for a while longer. "Shay wants to come in, I'll wait outside. Tell him your parents number, okay? This is ours," he added as he pressed a piece of paper into Murphy's hand and kissed his cheek again.

"Okay, thanks." He let go of him after a moment and just watched as he headed out. He felt so sad over all of this that he didn't even know if seeing his family would cheer him up.
