CHAPTER FORTY-ONE (GOODBYE )
CARMEN SIGHS HEAVILY. Aurora and Jonah stand in front of her, their bags laying at their feet, and Jonah's red Corvette parked behind them. The girl gives Aurora a weak smile, swallowing back her tears.
"You're leaving to meet Jonah's parents," Carmen announces lowly, sinking into Zach's side. "When will you be back?"
"Two weeks tops," Aurora replies. "It won't be long, Caramel. I promise I'll call you every night. It'll feel like I'm right next to you on the couch."
"But you won't be," The girl stresses. "Are you sure you want to leave? I don't want to even think about something happening to you-"
"Nothing will happen," Jonah assures her, placing his arm around Aurora's waist. "I'll make sure of that. You just enjoy your time with Zach, and I'll take care of Aurora."
"Okay," Carmen murmers, nodding as she blinks away tears. "Jonah, I trust you. Please keep an eye on her for me."
"Of course," He smiles as Aurora rushes forward, embracing Carmen in a hug.
"I'll going to miss you, Caramel," Aurora mutters into the girl's shoulder. "Stay safe for me, alright? Don't let Heroine boss you around."
"I won't," Carmen chuckles, wrapping her arms around Aurora's waist.
"And you," Aurora starts, looking over to Zach, pointing an accusing finger in his face. "You better watch her, Heroine. If you let anything happen to her, I will hurt you so much."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure she's safe," Zach grins down at Carmen, his eyes lighting up as they find hers. "Always."
"Good, because I'm sure Daniel Skye would like a date with Carmen if you happened to go missing," Aurora smirks, sending Zach a wink.
"I don't think so."
"I love you, Caramel," Aurora waves, grabbing her bags before Jonah has the chance to. "I'll call you while I'm on the plane, okay?"
"I love you too," Carmen says, her bottom lip trembling as her best friend slides into the car. "See you soon."
The car doors slam, and the engine of the Corvette starts up. Zach leads Carmen back a few steps, both of them watching as the car slowly drives away. The passenger window rolls down, revealing a waving Aurora.
"BYE, CARAMEL! I MISS YOU ALREADY!"
Chuckling through her tears, Carmen lays her head on Zach's shoulder. "So, what are we going to do without her?"
