And even now,when wind whisper your name against my skin,the silence of you is deafening. -Nicole Lyons.

Sienna's POV

Senior year. A year to remember. You never forget things you do in the last year of your school. And I have lived mine.

Its seems like yesterday when I entered this school for my senior year. A lot of things happened in between.

Some were good. Some were bad. But there is nothing I want to forget. I have lived the whole year. And if I had given chance I would live it again and again.

It taught me a lot of things. It taught me that love prevails all. It taught me how to cherish my friendship. It taught me that friends no matter what will be there for you. A point will come when you won't see anyone standing beside you. But look closer look around you will find your friends holding you. And that's home. The halls, the classrooms, the parking lot will be always my home.

No matter where I go from here. Ridgewood will always be my home. And in the end I will always comeback to it.

The last box of my belongings are packed now. I see my empty room and a tear threatens to come out. A lot of memories are there in this room.

I got accepted in Havard for medicine. I am really happy. I kind of always felt fascinated by medical science. So it was a great deal when I got in. My mother couldn't stop crying for the past two weeks. She is still crying. My all friends are here.

Meghan got into NYU for fashion designing. She is moving soon.

Zach got a scholarship to Boston university. Katherine got into Boston university too for journalism.

As for Jake he is also accompanying his girlfriend. And going to major in history.

Flynn is going to UCLA for majoring in architect. Along with Casper. Leslie is heading to France for culinary school.

And for Caleb he is going to study business in Duke. He always wanted to do that. And I am happy for him. Juliet is going to Italy to study photography. They decided on doing long distance relationship. I happy for both of them.

And Kaden is going to study law in Harvard along with me. So we are going together.

They all bid me goodbye. Hugged me too. Caleb kissed my head and hugged me. I kissed him in his cheeks and bid him farewell. Every box is packed. In fifteen minutes I am gonna start a new life without Caleb. It hurts but I need to forget him. He is a part of my past. I have to accept the future where he is nothing more than friend. My best friend.

I just have to do one last thing. I looked at the brown box on the table. I picked it up and opened it. Inside the box lies 745 letters I have ever wrote to him along with the picture I found on the rocks and his charm bracelet.

I took it. Closed it.

"Honey, are you sure you don't want us to come to airport?," my mom asked me.

"I am fine, mom. Besides Kaden is going with me. "

"Oh yeah. Hurry up or you are gonna be late. "My dad said.

I hugged them both.

I hugged my brother and waved him a goodbye. And headed to Kaden's car.

"You ready to start a new life with me berry bear." He said grinning.

"Shut up, hugsy the penguin and drive. "I rolled my eyes.

"Your wish my command Berry bear. "

He started driving.

"Kaden stop at the park". I said.

He didn't say anything. During the course of time, we have come closer. We do understand each other completely. It was nothing like what I had with Caleb. Its good but different. He never asked me why I keep coming to the park every Sunday. He never asked me who is the one who broked my heart. And that's what I like about him. When I am with him he never let my past stories come between our conversation.

We reached the park. I hold his hand for strength and we went to the tree. Caleb and mine. I told him to dig the ground. He got back and got some shovel from the car and started digging. It wasn't that deep but it was enough for me . I took the box and placed it in the ground. And covered it with soil.

This is officially me saying him goodbye. No longer dear Caleb. I cried. Every story comes to an end and this our story's end. Our unrequited story.

Kaden hold me and hugged me. I let him. We drove to the airport.

I have loved a boy. A boy who was broken. I fixed him. Atleast I tried. I gave him everything never seeking for anything in return. But one day he left me. Because he finally found his everything. I let him go. Because that is what love means. I am sienna, a girl who is in love with Caleb. And this is my story.
