Goodbye Girl

Caroline Bates lived in New York, but her parents thought it would be a good idea to move to Colorado. With the beautiful scenery, the big hills, and towering mountains. She starts a new school, gets a lot of friends, and even a special someone. She held tightly onto him for a year, but it wasn't enough.

He cheated and they broke up. Her grandma thought, along with her parents, it would be best if she went to a place called Georgia to get some fresh air. As if the hills, and the mountains weren't enough? She's been known to leave and push people away before they became too close, except for Luke. He was the boy that had the guts to cheat on her.

Her parents owned a little log cabin in the 'backwoods.' She stayed in it for a few days, breathing in the 'fresh air' they said she needed. She had been surviving on her own for a while. After the first three months have passed, she hears a loud gunshot, and goes to investigate.

It was a guy. A guy that made the noise. If she hadn't heard the gunshot, then she would've never met Hunter. Never would've laid eyes on the deer hunter, the 'southern boy,' the boy with the 'southern drawl.' He was handsome to her.

But he never takes any notice of her, and goes back to his deer hunting. He leaves, and never comes back. They meet again in the town square after Sunday morning church service. He talks to her, saying that he's seen her before. They become friends, but she has to leave soon.

He doesn't know though. He thinks she will stay until death. Will she will herself to stay? Or will she go home to Colorado, and forget all about him? Is she his Goodbye Girl?
