(Last Day in New Jersey)

"You promise to call me every day?"  My best friend Kendall says giving me a hug.

"I don't know if I can everyday, but you will receive texts." I say and she swats at my arm.

"You know it's okay to show emotion." My friend Jake says playfully hitting my arm.

"I'll keep that in mind." I say giving him a hug.

My friends Kendall, Jake, Hanna, the twins Mike and Megan, and Caleb stopped over to say our final goodbyes.

"We going to miss you." Hannah says her eyes getting watery.

"Dont cry." I say grabbing her hand.

She shrugs and I pull her into a hug.

"Now promise me you'll still be stubborn?" Megan says with a smile.

"You already know me Meg. I don't change." I say with a laugh.

"You think when yo u get back I can take you out on that date, you've been asking for?" Mike says winking at me.

"In your dreams." I say as he gives me a hug.

Once I give everyone else a hug, I finally land on Caleb, who is smiling but I can see sadness in his eyes.

"See you around Mary." Jake says slinging his arm around Hanna and the rest of them follow in suit to Kendalls car.

"Hey." I say putting liking at Caleb.

"Hey." He replies putting his hand in his pockets.

We sit in silence for a moment before I just bring him into a hug.

"I knew you couldnt resist me." He says into my ear.

I pinch his back.

"Dont ruin the moment." I say.

He pulls away and looks at me.

"I wish you didn't have to leave." He says as his voice cracks a little.

I smile.

"I know." I say looking down.

"you'll come visit right?" He says lifting my chin up.

"I'll try." I smirk.

He rolls his eyes.

"Try to meet new people." He says pushing my head to the side with his knuckle.

"Try to get a girlfriend." I say smiling.

He sighs and just looks me in the eyes.

He then suprises me by kissing me. Soft and light.

He doesnt deepen it, but pulls away.

"We're all set." I hear Charles call as he shuts the van.

"Well I guess this is goodbye." I say.

"Not goodbye, see you soon." Caleb says with a sad smile.

"I like that." I say with a slight nod.

Caleb then walks past me, and I watch him begin to walk. He then turns and looks back at me.

"Promise you won't forget about us?" He says with a smile of hope.

"I promise." I say and I can feel my stomach turn in knots.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

He gives me one last smile before getting into Kendalls car.

They all wave to me, the girls with tears and the guys with sad smiles and then they drive away.

"Ready to go?" Anna Maria asks getting into her car.

I don't say anything but get into the passenger seat of her car.

Charles, Mom and Sara will be taking the van pulling the Uhaul, and I'll be riding with Anna Maria.

I go through my playlist until I find the right station. I'm about to plug in when Anna Maria speaks.

"They are all great friends." She says talking about Caleb and the others.

"Too bad I have to leave them." I say.

"Youll see them again in the future." She says starting up the car.

"Whatever." I say plugging in.

Eminem fills my head as we pull out of the drive way.

I think of all the good memories I had here, making actual friends, getting invited to sleepovers.

I promised Caleb I wouldn't forget about them, and that's a promise I'll keep.

I mean how could, they were true friends.

(12 hours later)

"Welcome, we're glad Georgia's on your mind!" Anna Maria says in a terrible southern accent.

I roll my eyes at here.

12 hours later my back hurts, I'm starving and I'm about explode if I don't reach a bathroom.

"How much longer till we reach the house?" I rolling down the window to be hit with hot air.

"About one more hour. Then it's home sweet home." Anna says with a smile.

"Home sweet home my ass." I say rolling the window back up.

One hour later we are turning down a road to neighborhood that looks quite familiar.

I watch as kids go by, lemonade stands, kids playing basketball go by.

"You see hat yellow house coming up?" Anna says pointing to a house.

"I remember having the hugest crush in the boy who lived there. His name was Henry James. Wonder what he looks like now." She says looking back at the house.

"Maybe you'll run into him." I say flatly.

"Its possible, Macon is a small town." She replies.

Yeah don't remind me, I thought.

"Maybe you'll see your old friends." She says carefully.

"Dont remind me." I say looking out the window.

But we both know its bound to happen.

▫   ▫   ▫

"You girls go unpack, Charles and i can handle this stuff." My mom says shooing us.

She doesn't have to Tell me twice before I'm running to my room down the hall.

Everyone else's rooms are upstairs but I found a room on the bottom floor that has a connected bathroom and a bigger closet than the rest.

The room are painted powder pink, which will need to be changed as soon as possible.

I begin to unpack m bathroom stuff such as my make up I never wear and other things.

I carry the two boxed to the bathroom and set them on the counter.

I then go back to my room and plug in my radio on the floor.

I'm about to go back to the bathroom when I hear someone yell.

I look my large floor to ceiling Windows to see that two houses down are a bunch of teenagers in a pool.

"Ryan!" I see a blonde girl scream as a guy with brown hair picks her up and throws her in the pool.

I roll my eyes.

I'm not looking forward to making friends with these people, especially the ones I used to know.
