Curing the Broken

doubts and decisions

Caroline and Christopher had just finished packing everything they had left and put it in the moving truck. Christopher closes the back of the truck and stands next to his sister. They looked at their house and remembering all the memories they had in the house.

"I don't know if we should do this Chris," Caroline states doubtingly, "We've lived here for has long as I can remember. I don't think I can move."

Christopher sighs. He side hugs his sister and squeezes her arm lightly. He kisses her temple and gets into the moving truck. Caroline looks at the house one more time and gets into the truck. She puts on her seatbelt and looks out her window, looking at her childhood house one more time before Christopher drives away.

Christopher shakes Caroline awake, causing her to groan. She rubs her eyes, sleepily. She looks over to her brother.

"We're here," Christopher says.

Caroline looks out the window, her eyes wide, stepping out of the truck. She shakes her head in disbelief, looking over at her brother.

"Chris, this isn't our house," Caroline says.

She turns to her brother, seeing the smile on his face. Christopher laughs.

"It is Arrow. It is our house," Christopher says.

Caroline hugs her brother.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you," Caroline says and pulls away from the hug.

Christopher chuckles at his sister's excitement. He pulls the house keys out of his jacket pocket. He hands them to Caroline, causing her to look at him confused. Christopher smiles at her and slightly nods towards the door.

"Go check it out," he says, "I'll get the boxes out of the car."

Caroline grabs the keys from Christopher and runs to the door. She quickly unlocks the house door and looks around in awe at the front of the house. She smiles at herself and starts to walk around the house.
