"Ady the truck's here!" My mom yelled while walking out the front door. "Okay Mom there's just one last box!" I reply back.

I'm sure going to miss this place, I think to myself as I venture into my room for one last time. My little life here in Smithfield Virginia is coming to an end as I'm being uprooted to Miami. I hate the idea of moving halfway through my Senior year but it's either that or lose our house. And who knows, starting over could be just what I need. A new life, no more secrets. Boy does that sound nice. Goodbye Smithfield high, goodbye Scott, goodbye poor decisions, and goodbye past.

It's time to forget.

The sudden vibration of my phone snaps me back to reality. I look down and see the one name I was desperately trying to avoid.

"You can't run away from this Adeline, something has to be done." I read as chills run down my spine.

"No Scott, nothing has to be done and nothing can be done. It's all over now. I'm sorry but this is where it ends. I've accepted it and you should too."

I hit send and quickly turn off my phone so that nothing he can say will get me to stay. It hurts me inside to know that I'm leaving him behind. He's been my best friend since kindergarten but he's the perfect reminder of my past and all I want to do is look to my future. I know I can't hide from him forever -deep down I don't really want to- but I can try. It's for the better.

"Adeline come on we have to go!" I hear faintly from downstairs.

I grab the last box and head out of my room fighting back the tears in my eyes. As I make my way down the stairs and towards to front door I turn around taking one last glimpse at my old life. With a deep breath, I close the door behind me.
