Zoey excitedly waited outside Sammy's hospital room with the others. Today, Sammy was leaving the hospital for good. Dawn was helping Jasmine tie the string on a "Welcome Back" balloon. "Done!"

"Just in time, too! One-" Zoey liked to count to three for big things like this. "Two!"

"Three!"

Sammy left the room, smiling and sitting in a wheelchair. "Why do you need that?"

"The day I ran away, Amy kinda sprained my ankle." Sammy showed off a teal cast on her leg. Everyone went "Ooh" and "Aah" and Dawn commented, "I knew she'd pick that one. It matches her eyes."

Sammy was also wearing the student-signed T-shirt Heather had given her, and it fit just right. She looked so happy and free. "Hi, everyone!"

"Sammy!" All her friends ran to hug her. "We're so happy you're finally out of here!"

"I know! I also have news."

Sammy's friends quickly braced themselves. This could be anything. "I got a phone call from my mom. She told me that she now knows how Amy can really be, she's sending me to live with my Aunt Melissa and cousin Bridgette. I'll still go to our school, but I'll just live farther away from it."

"Good for ya, Sammy."

"It's about time. What's your aunt's address?"

"I don't remember."

The girls talked happily as Sammy left the hospital. Life was getting better for Sammy.

"Anything new happen at school?"

"Not really. Topher did ask about you, though. He really does like you, Sammy."

"I know. The day I was stuck here, we agreed to go out sometime."

"Lucky!"

"How?"

"You know your crush likes ya. Mine hasn't said anything at all."

"Please, Jasmine! Shawn really does like you. He's just... shy."

Sammy had been dreading and happily expecting today for a long time. She was glad she had to move, but she was also sad she'd just be leaving this place behind. It would just be a memory.

"Well, let's get packing," she thought. Sammy began folding all her clothes. Because of Amy's bossiness, Sammy only got a few outfits to wear. Nothing extra. "Need any help?"

Zoey and Dawn were standing by the door. "But who let you in?"

"Your parents. Apparently, they're celebrating your last day here in luxury."

It was true. Sammy's parents were being nice to her for once, and Sammy had been given a red zebra-print suitcase that used to be her mother's, which had soft insides so soft you felt like sleeping in it. "When you were little, Amy always took the crib for herself, so you used this instead," she'd said when she gave it to Sammy. Sammy liked the idea of keeping something like that to herself. It felt special.

"Okay, but where's Jasmine?"

"Hiking trip with her family, no big deal."

Sammy nodded and continued stacking clothes in the suitcase. Dawn began standing over her, holding something behind her back. "Sammy? I have a gift for you, to congratulate you on moving..."

The box was pale silver, decorated with the night sky. Moons and stars were all over it. Sammy couldn't help but think, "If the gift isn't as nice as I think it is, I still have a neat box."

Sammy opened the present. Inside was a moon and stars charm bracelet and matching moon necklace. "I love it! It's beautiful."

Dawn smiled. "I knew you would."

"Sammy! Almost done packing?" Their parents now called Sammy what she liked to be called- Sammy.

"Yes, Mom!" Sammy looked at her necklace and bracelet, which she put on. They blended well with her outfit, and Sammy was able to smile as she went downstairs. "I'm ready!"

"Honey, where's your jewelry from?"

"My friend Dawn gave them to me."

"Such a nice girl!"

The final hours of Sammy's life there quickly ended. Sammy got in her aunt's car, and was taken away for good.

"So, Sammy. Are you happy to be leaving?"

"A bit, I mean, I'm going to miss it a little bit."

"Cool."

Since today was a Sunday, Sammy had school tomorrow. She jumped into her bed, which was the guest room transformed. It had sky blue walls with clouds printed on it, to mean hope and light. The bed was a cream color with cloud-shaped pillows and blue stitching to close the fabric. Life was actually good now.

In the morning, Sammy put on a pair of dark blue jeggings, a red fitted shirt, and red Converse sneakers. As Sammy ran downstairs, Melissa smiled and said, "Your mother wanted you to have a good life, and you got it."

At school, Heather and Alejandro walked over to where Sammy was at her locker. Rumors about them said that they were back together again and happy, all thanks to Sammy.

"Thanks, Sammy, you're a really good friend."

During lunch, Sierra showed up at the table Sammy shared with her friends. "Hi, Sammy! Do you mind answering a few questions for me?"

Topher also spent a full couple of hours talking with Sammy after school ended. They were finally getting to know each other.
