december 27th.

caroline's alarm went off at 8:00 in the morning. she rolled over and turned it off. she was leaving today and she felt sick to her stomach just thinking about it.

the girl got up and looked around her room. all of her things were packed into suitcases, duffle bags, and backpacks. looking around all she could think of was, am i really leaving? she went over to her bathroom and got into the shower.

the water was hot against her skin. caroline felt as if she was going to cry but when she tried, nothing came out. no tears. no emotion. she just felt...numb.

the water turned off and the girl blow dried her hair. she walked over to the outfit she had already picked out since all her clothes were packed away and she got changed.

she sprayed on her perfume and her mind immediately went to jj. she was going to miss him more then anything in the world.

caroline grabbed the last of her bags and headed towards her door. she turned around and looked at her childhood room. she had so many memories in there and they all came flooding back. the nights her and jj would stay up still sunrise. when john b told her that his father had gone missing. when kie finally broke down about the kooks, especially sarah cameron. when pope would make her ask him questions a college interviewer might ask. when her and sarah has their first sleepover in first grade.

her eyes watered but she pushed those tears away when she heard her name being called.
"coming!" she called back. she closed her door and put a hand on it. the girl took a deep breathe and turned towards the stairs.

"are you ready? the ferry leaves in an hour." her father asked.
she sighed and responded "yep." with a weak smile.
"i'm so proud of you sweetheart." he said giving her a hug.
"thanks." she muffled into his shoulder.
