sure that I'll be late tomorrow if I don't stay here for the night. He's going to bring Arianne here tomorrow, together with my parents." Arianne is Nate and Caroline's baby, and she is so cute. Chloe can't wait to meet her in person.

"I can't wait to meet her, good thing she doesn't look like you." she said making Caroline pound a pillow on her face. She just laughs at her friend who clearly looked offended by her joke. But it was fun messing with her. "We should head downstairs for snacks."

Both her and Caroline went downstairs to have some sandwich. As they descend down the stairs, they looked at the picture frames hanged on the wall. It was the pictures of the members of HFThespians throughout the years.

"Hey, Chloe look at this. We look so young in this picture." Chloe looked at the picture Caroline was pointing. It was their first group photo when they were in their freshman year. "This is James, right? Your ex-boyfriend. Oh, and Ruth, our senior. She's such a bitch. I remember her pouring milkshake on my hair because I got the line wrong. I hate her."

"We all hate her. I remember her bragging about her being in a TV commercial but she was just shown for like, half a second." Chloe went down the stairs and head straight to the kitchen. There was a sandwich waiting for them and she took some and eat. It was the best chicken sandwich she had.

Caroline quickly followed her and eat some sandwich as well. They were just sitting silently and savoring the sandwiches served to them. It's been a while since she spends time with her best friend and she's enjoying their time now even if they are not talking about something.

Before, she and Caroline used to stay here in the kitchen, filling up their bellies with every food they see on the fridge, talking shits about their very bossy senior, and gossiping about her then-boyfriend. It was fun hanging out with her friend and living with her for four years with no one to tell them what to do.

"I can't believe we're going to leave this place tomorrow, it's hard to let go of this house since we have tons of memories here. When I move to Miami, call me always, okay? I'm going to miss you." Chloe can't help but feel emotional as she looks at her best friend. They've been together since they were little, and now, they are going to part ways to begin new chapters of their lives.

Maybe that's life, everything always comes to an end. Even if you don't want it to end, you have to let it go to start a new life. To give birth to new beginnings and to let go of every pain you had in the past. It'll be hard at first, but it'll surely pass away in time.

"Yeah, it felt like it was just yesterday when we auditioned for this group, then we became the directors, then you met my brother, and now I'm a mom. Time really do fly so fast, huh?" Caroline said, still munching on her food.

Looking at her best friend, she can't help but feel proud of her. She'd been very strong despite the challenges she faced these past few years. It's been a hell of a ride for her and she's still standing strong. And she admires her for that. If it was her, she surely gave up already and just weep in the corner.

She is far away from Caroline. She may look tough on the outside, but inside, she's broken. Chloe always depends on her best friend; she has been her rock through her rough times. Caroline has always been there for her through thick and thin. And she is very grateful to have Caroline beside her, always. She has been the sister she never had.

Caroline has been a family to her for as long as she remembers and it will stay like that as long as they breathe and until the afterlife.

"Can I ask you a favor? Can you please look after my parents while I am away? Tomorrow will be the last time I'll see them. I don't know when I'll be back. Just update me of them, always. Please?"

"Sure. I'll do that. I'll do everything for you, just always give me a call. That's what sisters are for. Just promise me you'll visit them someday. They're still your family no matter what, and you can't turn your back on family."

Her friend is right. She can't just turn her back on them, they are her parents no matter what. They raised her to be who she is now, and she owes them for it. Maybe she could give them the closure they needed before she leaves for Miami. It's best to give them a proper goodbye and not just vanish without them knowing.

"Tell your brother my things are ready to put in the car, I'll just go somewhere. I'll be quick." Chloe finishes her sandwich and head out of the house. She cannot wait for another day to pass to talk to her parents. She needs to do it now. They have to understand why she needs to go away for a while.

Chloe drove her car to her parents’ house on a speed. She doesn't care if she'll be stopped because of speeding. She needs to talk to her parents now, that's what's more important. But unfortunately, the traffic is not on her side today, she's still a few minutes away from her parents' house and the traffic is bumper to bumper.

She's sure that her parents are in the house today. Chloe is certain that she will see her parents, but that is impossible as of the moment because of the traffic jam she's in. It's pissing her off. It took her half an hour to get out
