He clasps her small olive hand tightly between his two large pale ones. The two share a toothy grin as he leads her out after releasing her hand. Her pale hazel stare down at the beaded bracelet in her hand as she walks beside he taller man.

A year ago she was starting her first song with a man only looking for money. Now here she is, her arm brushing against one of the most famous gingers on the musical planet.

A sophomore in college would've never thought of this moment.

She slips the bracelet around her wrist, the cool  feeling of it dangling from her skin was relieving; it felt welcoming. The ginger nudges her shoulder as they walk down the long hallway and towards the glass doors.

"You'll make it big, I promise."

I promise. Those were two big words with lots of meanings behind it. Daniel promised. Look where that led them.

She simply smiles and gives him one last hug before skipping down the steps and into her uber.

The uber starts driving back to the college dorms as the girl in the back continues to stare at her hands. She made it.

Now's the goodbyes.

Brandon holds his best friends body close, not wanting to let go. Tyler and Bailey walk up to them after closing the cars trunk. Christina and Autumn come from inside ready to bare their goodbyes.

"Classes are gonna be so boring without my lil' Enchilada there to entertain me." Brandon whines, squeezing her against him.

Tyler ruffles her hair and smiled sadly at the two.

"Yeah, Professor Hopper is gonna miss giving us detention." He adds as an attempt to lighten the mood.

Indie rolls her eyes and lets the group berry her in a hug. Oh how she'd miss them, the city.

Autumn doesn't let go when everyone else does, she holds on tight not wanting to let go.

"Do you have to move where they want you to go?" She mumbles into the older girls hair.

Indie sadly nods and lightly urges the girl to let her go. She sighs and does do. Indie picks up her final carry-on backpack and glances at everyone one last time. They wave to her as she gets into the slick blue vehicle and drives off.
