Caitlyn's POV 

Today we were telling Gen and Joe that we are moving to London. I am a bit scared about how Gen is going to take it. I am also going to try and tell her how you know I died... It's been bothering me for a while and I think it's time I tell her 

"Caity?" I hear someone calling my name

"Caity!?" I come out of my trance and see Ben in front of me 

"Caity?" 

"huh? yeah?"

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine... why?"

"You look nervous" 

"I am nervous!" I slightly yell 

"No need to get mad! Just asking love" 

"Sorry I didn't mean to yell... I just dont know how she is going to react" I plopped myself on the bed and huffed 

"I mean yeah it's going to be hard for her but she has to understand this is our decision," Ben said as he bent down and came between my legs and held my hands 

"Your right," I say and Ben kisses my forehead 

"You are going to be ok... trust me"

"I trust you"

Gen and Joe had stayed back for dinner with their kids who were currently playing in the playroom while us four sit in the living room having a drink 

I looked at Ben and he nodded at me, He grabbed my hand and kissed it 

"So we have to tell you guys something," Ben said Looking at me then Gen and Joe 

"Having another Baby?!" Gen said 

"No, If I was I wouldn't be drinking" I showed her my glass and she laughed 

"Well, What is it then?" Joe said

"Well Caity and have been thinking about it for some time and we had come to the decision to move back to London," Ben said 

There was an awkward silence between us and all you could hear is the sound of children fighting over their toys 

"Why?" Gen Says looking up at us with tears in her eyes 

"Well Uh we um-" Ben cut me off 

"My mother is alone and we feel that we need to be there for her and Caity want's to go back to school," Ben said while rubbing my hand with his thumb 

"Gen, I'm sure we can still talk all the time and we will come on holidays here... I dont think Joe and Ben can live without each other," I said and we both laugh 

"Your right we cant," Ben said 

"See it's not like I'm leaving forever" 

"Your right Caity I'm so sorry, Come here" Gen stood up and So did I and we hugged 

"When do you leave?" Gen asked 

"2 Days"

"So is this possibly the last time we see each other in a long time?" 

"You can come to the airport if you would like?" 

"No! I'm just going to a crying mess" She said laughing 

"I also have to tell you something else... something that I have kept from you because I was afraid that you will have a breakdown because it's like your worse nightmare"

Gen broke the hug and looked at me 

"What is it?" She asked

"well, you know how I got really badly sick too the point where I couldn't breathe?"

"Well, of course, you were sick for days"

"Well... When Ben called an ambulance they came just in time but still too late" i say looking down 

"What are you saying?"

I turned around and looked at Ben and I saw Joe who was ready you help Gen

"I died" 

"you what!?"

"I died! and I came alive again! its, not something you see or hear every day but to me, it's a miracle"

"And you didn't think to tell me! Your best friend that has a big fear of losing you" 

"Thats exactly why I didn't tell you, Gen! I'm sorry" 

"NO! and now even worse you're leaving me!" Gen yelled and wiped her tears away and Joe Ran behind her pulling her into a hug and mouthing sorry 

"We're leaving," Gen said walking to the playroom to get her kids 

"Gen wait!" 

"No Caity" 

I started crying myself. Gen walked out with her kids who looked confused about why they can see their mother cry. She opened the door and she left not even without saying goodbye 

"Well I guess this a goodbye then," Joe said, I nodded and pulled him into a hug 

"Thank you for everything Joe. We're going to miss you and please take care of Gen she needs you more than anything in this world" 

"I will Caity" I hugged him for a bit longer and then he went to Ben who pulled him into a hug 

"Thanks mate for these few years... we will keep in touch" Ben said patting Joe's Back 

"Definitely, I have A cardboard cutout of you I will never forget you" 

"Good!" 

Joe Walked to the door and turned around 

"See ya, Rog," He says 

"Bye Deacy" Ben Replies while Joe closes the door and leaves
