Christine's pov a few days later
It is done. I called. They said that my aunt would be thrilled to have me. They agency is going to help get me released from set and they will tell me when I have to go. Back across the country once again. I was still waiting anxiously for when I could go. I've barley said a word to jace. I haven't told anyone about the call. Not even mrs. Norman. Which is why I'm so nervous about them calling her. I plan on leaving silently and no one will notice that I was gone. But what if she tells jace? He'll be even more angry. So much for having a few days of normal. I heard the phone ring downstairs and I jumped up and ran out of my room. I dashed down the stairs. I heard mrs. Norman talking and I waited around the corner to the kitchen. "What? She did? Yes I see. It's her decision. When?" She spoke into the phone for a while. I couldn't hear what was said in the other end. "Alright then. Thank you. Bye." She hung up the phone. I stepped out into the kitchen. "So you really want to leave huh?" She said without looking up. "I have to." I said. "No you don't. You chose to. What I want to know is why? Was it really so awful here?" She said staring at me. "No! That's not it at all! I love it here! But I just have to." I said looking at the floor. "If it's because you and jace ha a fight that's going to happen in a relationship but you can't just run away." "No! Look. It's complicated and I can't really explain it to you. But the important thing is that you don't tell anyone. Not even jace." She looked surprised by this. "Why not?" She said. Oh no! She's going to tell him! "Look it's just important. Please trust me?" I begged. "Alright. But that doesn't mean I agree with you. He deserves to know that your leaving." She said. "I know. And I will explain everything to him. Just not now. When do I leave?" I asked. "Next week." She said. What?! I have to hide this from everyone for a week? I was hoping it would be a couple of days so I bag and drag and get the heck out without anyone noticing! "Okay. Thanks. I'll be upstairs packing." I said. I went back upstairs and closed the door. I looked around my room. It would only be my room for another few days. I went around and started taking down the posters i had hung up. I rolled them up and put a rubber band around them. Then I went over to my closet and took out my suitcase. I started taking clothes out of my closet and folding them and putting them into the suitcase. I didn't want to pack too much otherwise it would look strange. So I just sat in my room reading and then later walked to the park with caramel. I managed to avoid jace for the whole day. I was listening to music and reading when jace opened the door that night. "My mom wants you to come down for dinner." He said flatly. "Tell her I'm not hungry." I said simply. He stood there awkwardly for a minuet. "Look Christine, about what I said-" "don't. You clearly said all you had to say. So have I. You think I push people out? Fine. Here's me pushing you out. Tell mrs. Norman I'm not hungry. That's all. Leave." He sadly nodded and left. It hurt me to say that. I wanted to jump up and hug him. But detachment is important now. So I won't miss him in the future. All though that might not be possible. I laid down waiting for sleep. It was Saturday so I leave next Saturday. One day down. Six to go.

Friday
Today was my last day on set. And my last night California. I had made it through the week without anyone suspecting anything weird. I've barely spoken to jace. I think this means we're through. It's not how I want that to be. But that's how it has to be. I was sitting in the waiting room. We had been filming all week and now my character is moving away. Dan comes into the room. "Okay everyone! We are about to shoot the final goodbye scene where winter leaves Henry. So you two go get dressed and be on stage in five!" He smiled and walked out. Jace turned to me. "This isn't fair! Why are they writing you off the show?!" He said. "Because they don't need my character anymore." I said. "But everyone loved your character! I know there's another reason." I scrambled to come up with another excuse. "Well I just can't balance that and the movie I'm doing." I lied. "Wait. You excepted one of the deals?" He said surprised. "Yeah! It sounded like a good movie! Anyway I have to go get dressed." I quickly left. Soon I was on stage next to jace and they were about to say action.
H=Henry w=winter
H: but why do you have to leave?
W: because there is other places that need me there.
H: but I need you here
W: I can't stay here. I'm sorry.
H: please don't leave!
W: don't you see I don't belong here? Everyone expects something out of me, but I can't do it because I always mess everything up. I always let everyone down and people get hurt because of me. That's why I can't let people get close to me other wise I hurt them. I've always let everyone down.
H: not everyone.
Jace walked over and pressed his lips to mine. "Cut!" The director called. But Jace and I stayed exactly where we were. Lips locked. "Uh that wasn't in the script." I heard Riele say. "No. But it was perfect!" I heard everyone start talking. I realized what I was doing and I quickly pulled away and ran towards the hall. I got to the hall and put my head against the wall. I wanted to cry so badly but I had no tears left. Suddenly I felt and hand on my shoulder and I spun around only to feel a warm embrace and a kiss. I wanted it to last forever. But I pulled away. "I can't do this jace." I cried. "Look in sorry about what I said! None of it was true! You don't hurt people! Please forgive me!" He begged. "Jace you don't understand! I do hurt people that's why I shut people out! And even if I wanted to forgive you it wouldn't make a difference now. I leave tomorrow!" I accidentally let that last part slip. "Leave? Your leaving?! I thought you were doing a movie!" He said. "I'm not. I'm going to my aunts in Florida. I don't belong here jace. Everything goes wrong for me here. At least I'll be somewhere I belong." I said. "No! Why didn't you tell me?!" He said upset. "Because I thought you didn't care! And I couldn't bring myself to tell you. It's too late anyways. My flight leaves at 8:00 tomorrow morning." I said. "Jace I-" he cut me off. "You know what? You don't belong here! If you want to go to Florida fine! That's your choice! But your running away! Your running away from the things in life you don't like! And if that's the mind of person you are I don't care if you leave! I'm better off without. Just go." He said sadly. "Jace-" "JUST GO!" He shouted. I started to cry. I ran out of the hall and off set for the last time. I was never going back there. I ran all the way home. I ran up to my room. I ran to my dresser and shoved everything off. I opened my drawers and threw the clothes all over the room. I ripped the sheets off the bed and threw them. I threw the books off the shelves. I pulled the pictures off me and jace off my wall and threw them at the wall across the room. The glass in the frames shattered and flew everywhere. Then I crumpled to the floor crying. This was exactly what I wanted to avoid. After a while I peeled myself off the floor. I cleaned up the glass and picked up the pictures. I folded the sheets and put them away. I picked up the clothes and put them in suitcases. I put the books in boxes. Lastly I picked up the contents of my dresser and packed it. I just kept packing. By late that night the room was bare and blank. I wished I could talk to jace but I would never find the right words. Not that he would give me the chance to say them even if I did. I looked around and noticed a notebook and pencil on my desk. I walked over and sat down. If I can't say the words. I'll write them.
