Audrey's POV
And today, my mother announced it. We are forever moving to back to America.
"BUT MOM!" I yelled.
She put down the phone, and looked at me with concern.
"Audrey, we are moving back to the states. I need this job more than ever. We need to support each other now, but I don't want to tear you apart from your old life, but think of the new friends you will make!"
"But I don't want a new friend," I mumbled, holding back a waterfall.
My mom knelt down, took my hands, and put them in her lap. She looked me deep into my eyes, with those green orbs, that I didn't get, but my fabulous brother did.
"Audrey, I know this whole Caleb situation is tough on you, but we all have to move on. It's been two years since this accident, and he doesn't seem to remember you. I'm sorry dear, but it's for the better."
I felt like punching her in the face. But it was the truth. Caleb didn't remember me. Rather be hurt then be lied to, then get hurt even more right?
"Okay," I whispered.
She gave me a kiss on the cheek, and continued speaking to the person on the other line.
I told my self, a million times, it's time to move on. Caleb no longer loves me. You can't blame the guy, I mean. He lost his memory. Why try to dig up the past, when there's no point. He's already in love with someone who is much prettier. Much smarter. And probably means much more than I would be able to retrieve from his memory. Why remember something old, when you could have something newer and better.
I loved Caleb, but I couldn't realize that until after he had lost me in memory. Cliche, I know. And that one day, where we kissed. It got me thinking so much but this story isn't going to become that way now. I'm leaving, forever. I will never see Caleb Wyatt ever again. My childhood friend, my superman. Drained with the showers that are British.
I sulked the whole day, while it continued to rain. Mr.Wubbers, purring away more than ever, calling out Caleb for me. But you think he would ever come back?
Its for the better, I said over and over again. But I couldn't imagine my new life without Caleb.
My phone rings. I just ignore it, finally letting a tear fall.
How do I break it to him? Like he would care, I think.
I hear some knocks. Could it be?
It's just Scott, my little brother. I guess he couldn't sleep, as I have been sobbing for a long time.
"Are you okay, Audrey?" Eyes glistening green. Why didn't I get those eyes.
"I'm fine," I say as I wipe my face.
He comes over to my bed, and says " I know you're not."
"How do you know?" I said, trying to breathe.
"Because we're going to the states, and you are leaving behind Caleb. Plus, I can't sleep. You're too loud. " He says in a smirk.
He pulls me into a hug. This kid may be in Year 8, but damn did he know his girls.
He pats my back as I sob into his shirt.
"It will be okay, I'm leaving behind Ellie and my boys. I will miss them, truly. I know the whole incident with Caleb has been hard on you, and trust me it has been hard on me too. He was like my bigger brother, like, you guys completed my family. He forgot me too, Audrey. But we always have each other."
