PROLOUGE

"...the only you can help us get our sister back is for you to disappear... Forever..."

"Aw..." I whined, "Poor Cole."

My best friend Diana looked at me sarcastically, "He was the Source of All Evil. He tried to kill her family."

I raised my eyebrows at her, "Your point? They were in love..."

She rolled her eyes at me, "You are such a hopeless romantic."

"So? I never thought that was a problem."

She laughed at me and shook her head, "It isn't... yet."

I stuck my tongue out at her before saying, "It could have worked out between Cole and Phoebe. It's not his fault that he was taken over by evil. He tried so hard to fight it."

"But in the end, they had to kill him," Diana pointed out.

"He went crazy with his love for her. He's only a man," I sighed out.

Diana grew quiet then, "I don't want you to move away..."

I looked at her sadly, "I don't want to move away either... But San Francisco isn't working for my family."

"Weren't you making a break through in therapy?" Diana whined like a child who was getting her favorite toy taken away.

"It's not enough. A small town where things are calm. That's what we need. The opposite of San Francisco. I want my parents to stay together. If this will help... then that's what I need to do." I started messing with my cuticles.

"How is Bianca handling it all?" Diana asked quietly.

"She's too young to recognize what's missing..." I revealed.

"Look, I know you don't want to. But what you want doesn't really matter, right?"

"Right." I whispered to myself.

My going away party was in full swing by the time I got there. I climbed up the front steps and met up with Diana and her boyfriend Mitchell at the front door. She hugged me tightly, "So glad you made it."

Mitchell laughed at his girlfriend's antics, "Well it is kind of her party..."

I smiled, "Yeah, can't have it without me."

Diana grabbed my hand, "Come on," and she tugged me into the large house. Mitchel followed us with amusement playing on his face.

Throughout the night, all my friends took turns saying goodbye to me.

Then Yolanda Jimenez took the karaoke microphone from Micheal Chavez and started talking, "Alright, it's almost midnight. And it's time to wish our girl a proper farewell with..." Two boys from my Algebra II class started wheeling out a table with something covered on it. Yolanda reached for the covering fabric and yanked it off revealing, "Face Cake and Presents!"

I laughed happily at the cake that was indeed a picture of my face. And there was a small pile of presents. Apparently Diana, Mitchell and Richard got me something themselves and then everyone chipped in for a fourth.

I was practically ordered to open the group present first. It was a small package all wrapped and nice. But I ripped it up immediately to reveal an HD video camera.

Yolanda smiled at me, "You have to document everything at your new home and post them up so we can see!"

"And take pictures!" Someone yelled from the back.

I laughed and nodded to all of them, "Thank you guys. I promise I will."

Diana grabbed Mitchel's gift and thrust it into my hands, "Open. Now."

I laughed at her and opened Mitchel's gift. It was pepper spray. I looked at him confusedly and he said with a smirk, "Since I won't be there to protect you from all the jerks, I gave you this."

I smiled to myself and gave him a hug, "It's perfect."

Diana then threw her present at me. I opened the bag to reveal a book. It said 101 Things To Do In The Middle Of Nowhere. I laughed and said, "Thanks Diana."

Then it came to Richard's present. Knowing that this was one of the most difficult goodbyes for me, the crowd dispersed and cleared out or talked amongst themselves.

Richard in his blonde haired, green eyed glory, stepped forward with his present in hand. He looked nervous and awkward. Mitchell grabbed Diana and tugged her away despite her protests.

When Richard was in front of me he cleared his throat, "Hi... Heather."

I nodded to myself, "Hey..."

He held out the small blue box to me, "I saw this and... thought of you."

I opened the jewelry box slowly and instead of the ring I once thought I wanted... it was a simple sterling silver necklace with the Charmed charm. I smiled, a tear falling, and wrapped my arms around Richard, "I'm gonna miss you."

He wrapped his arms back around me tightly, as if not wanting to let me go. Ours wasn't an easy break up, especially since we didn't want to break up. But we both knew that with me moving away... it wouldn't work. And things have been strained. We had to make it easier on ourselves.

But we were still close.

"I'll miss you too, Heather," Richard whispered in my ear.

The mover guys carried our furniture and boxes out to the moving truck as Mom piled our suitcases into the back of our Toyota. I put my stuff and Bianca's stuff in my camaro. I'd be driving with Bianca so that my mom and dad would have the drive to themselves.

Dad helped me lug Bianca's purple and pink duffel bag into the trunk before he said, "I know that this move is..." he trailed off.

"Dad... it's alright. We all need a fresh start. I will miss my friends but... I need this just as much as you and mom do."

Dad smiled gently at me and kissed the top of my head, "If you insist."

Soon, mom and dad got into their car, Bianca and I got into mine, and the movers got into the truck to follow us up to our new home.

Forks, Washington.

Well please let me know what you think. And I'll warn you now that I am making a lot of major changes to the series in these stories - more than I made in the Callie Swan Saga.
