Miley Destiny Cyrus strolled by the candy store she knew too well. The walls were lined by artificial lollipops, the shelves stocked with undying sweets, and the counter layered with every type, brand, and flavor of gum you could ever imagine. As she stared through the glass window taking in the final moments of her childhood, she pushed away unnecessary memories to the farthest corner of her mind. She could no longer stand the tears, the pain, the mistakes that this town had brought her.

She continued her walk down the deserted block. The moon was full and present above her, but she refused to shift her eyes away from her quickly moving feet. She changed the position of her duffel bag to the other arm before reaching her destination. She took a seat on a nearby bench and waited. Kate took a deep sigh and let the silence swallow her in.

After a few minutes, a silent bellow of wind blew a bright orange flier to her feet. She didn't need to check what the flier said. She had made the fliers herself and only a few days ago.

She was suddenly overwhelmed with the memories of the cheering, the sudden touchdown, and the sudden confessions that seemed to change her in a single second. But most of all, she remembered her own findings that night; the one that changed everything.

A train's sudden engine brought her back out of her memories. She found herself trembling. She stood up trying her best to compose herself. She knew now to never let herself lose control of her thoughts. She wiped away the single tear and prepared to board the train. The sudden ringing of the town clock, that indicated midnight, echoed behind her. "Happy 18th birthday," she whispered to herself as she left her town; this time never looking back.


A/N: Possibly my next series after Forget Me. :)

Either this, I finish Lovestory, or this other story I've been working on.

Tell me what you think.
