CHAPTER ELEVEN: Final Goodbyes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Amber!" Riley, Amber's sister yelled from downstairs. "Hurry up!"

Amber shoved the rest of her clothes into a suitcase and slammed it shut. She pried the zipper closed and dragged the suitcase downstairs. It was 11:00 am and she was exhausted. Amber had woken up at 6 am to begin loading the moving truck. She had a few suitcases left to throw in the car.

Amber dragged the suitcase to her father's pickup truck and threw it into the back. She walked back into the house and grabbed a plastic cup from the counter. She walked to the kitchen sink and filled the cup with cold water and took a long sip.

"Mmm." She said aloud.

"Come on Amber!" Frank, her father mumbled, as he hurried out the door. Two boxes in both hands and his car keys in his mouth.

Amber rolled her eyes playfully and walked outside of the empty house. She took a last good look at it before she got in the truck. Her sister had her own car and had already left for the airport.

Their things on the moving truck were going to be brought over on a serperate plane along with their cars.

Amber squinted from the sun as her dad drove away, and she left behind her beloved world and friends. She left Degrassi.

"Am!" Amber looked up and to her surprise, saw a group of her friends. She got up from the waiting area and ran over to see them. She stopped in front of Paige and gave her a hug.

"What are you guys doing here?" Amber asked.

"We had to say goodbye!" Paige said, in an obvious tone.

Paige was there along with Ashley, Sean, Emma, Hazel and Terri. They were the group of people who she loved the most there. Amber was glad to see them one last time.

After a lot of hugging, a women on the intercom announced Amber's flight.

"Flight 108 now boarding all passengers. Repeat. Flight 108 boarding all passengers."

"Well, I guess this really is goodbye." Amber said, sadly. "I promise to write to all of you everyday."

Amber gave a quick wave and turned around. She watched as her father and sister walked out of sight and onto the plane. Amber headed in that direction, but right as she got to the ticket lady she heard...

"Amber!"

Amber turned around and saw none other than Spinner Mason.

"Spinner?" Amber blinked in amazement. "Oh my gosh!"

Amber walked over to him smiling. He smiled back, but couldn't help but frown as the intercom repeated the message again. "Flight 108 boarding all passengers."

"I had to come." Spinner said. "I had to tell you something."

"What?" Amber asked. "What's up Spin?"

"Remember when..." Spinner began. "Remember what I told you that night, the night that we...you know."

"Yeah..." Amber said, waiting for him to continue.

"I meant it." Spinner said. "And I'm sorry for being mad at you. I'm just so..."

"Spinner." Amber interupted. She took both of his hands. "It's alright. I have to go now."

Amber dropped his hands and began to walk away.

"Wait," Spinner said. "Amber."

Amber turned around. Spinner approached her and put his hand on her face. He leaned in to kiss her but she pulled away.

"What's wrong?" Spinner asked. "Can't I have one last kiss before you go a million miles away."

"I'm not sure it's that far Spinner." Amber said.

"Even so," Spinner said. "One last kiss?"

"I can't." Amber replied.

"Why not?" Spinner asked.

"Because then," Amber responded. "I don't know if I could leave."

Amber bit her lip and turned around. She walked away from him and onto the plane. She had gotten on about 5 minutes before take off.

Amber sighed as the planed took off. She was going somewhere new, but she had left her heart behind.
