Silence. That's all she could hear.

It was deafening.

     Her tears fell down her face as her hands wrote the goodbye note shakily. She sucked in a deep breath before signing her name on the note. The buzzing of a text message on her phone drew her attention away. Picking up her phone she looked at who could text her at 11:20 at night.

Caw Caw Man> Here, u still inside?

She smiled before responding,

                    Yeah, give me a minute to grab my stuff.<

Caw Caw Man> take ur time.

Clicking her phone off she rushed to get her stuff from upstairs. Making sure all of her stuff was ready to go, she grab her phone texting a message about getting the door open. As she made her down the stairs, the noise of the door opening caused her to move faster down the stairs.

The boy in the doorway looked at her with kind eyes before smiling and grabbing a bag. He then opened his mouth, "Are you sure you want to go?"

The girl looked at him before responding with a simple nod. He sighed before nodding, "Well, is Katelyn away? Or even knows that your coming this late?" "She knows I'm coming in really late so, I'm not sure.."

The boy rolls his eyes as he grins, "act first.." She grinned back. "Think later!"

They make their way out the door, walking down the pavement to a nice, dark blue SUV. The girl opens the sliding door before dropping a backpack on the SUV's floor while the boy makes his way towards the trunk and puts her suitcase into it.

She shuts the sliding door before heading into the passengers seat while the boy closes the trunk and makes his way into the drivers seat. As he starts the car he murmurs to her saying "This is your last chance to back out now.." She hesitates to answer, and looks back at the house.

The house, the one with so many memories fill in it, the one containing all of her friends. Would it end like last time? Would they break and fall apart. To bring herself out of her thoughts she shook her head. She looked at him, before closing her eyes. A small 'No' escaped her lips before tipping her head back. "I want to go.."

He nodded as he pulled off of the side of the road and started the long drive to Katelyn's house.

"What's your new name gonna be?" Brown eyes met amber. "What?" "When you change your name? What's it gonna be?" "I don't know.. uh.." after a few moments of silence she speaks. "I know! Aphmau!" The boy starts giggling "Aphmau? Like your YouTube channel?" "I mean, nobody knows about them at Mystreet sooo..." the boy is full on laughing while 'Aphmau' is joining in. "What's so funny giggly bits?!" "It's funny, your trying to run away but you keep a part of your past to you. Most people who run away try to erase their past."

She sighs with a smile, "It's like what your dad taught us, 'The past is what makes you, you. So keep it close, if not, it will whisper to you from the shadows, haunting you like a ghost."

"I chose to keep it close, I'm done with it haunting me."

"Jess, for a person who has the mind of a two year old..I'd say you made the right decision." They both laugh at his remark. "Aw gee thanks Cas!" Jess retorts in a sarcastic tone.

He snickers, "No problem buddy!"

After a few minutes of silence, Jess turns on the radio. Soft music slowly filled the car, feeling tired she moves the seat backwards, turns on her side facing Cas and murmurs "when we get there, or if you need a break to sleep let me know and wake me up." He nods, "Sure." "Oh and Castor?" "Yeah?" "Thanks for doing this for me..again." Castor smiles slightly and looks at Jess. "No problem Jess."
