"First call, flight 7226 destined for Toronto, Ontario, please board."

Kristy set her bags down, and gulped. She faced the troop of people, feeling strangly reminiscent of her first departure. "So I guess this is it, huh?" she managed shakily.

"Yeah" Kevin's voice abandoned him, and he smiled sadly. "I'll miss you Kristy"

"I'll miss you too" she breathed nervously. She moved around, hugging people, saying goodbye. "Take care of yourself Aaron. Beat Tomb Raider for me, okay?"

He nodded. "I will"

Finally, Kristy got to the guys. She hugged them, one by one, until only Nick was left. Facing him uncomfortably, they just stared at each other for awhile. Nick stepped forward, and Kristy gingerly wrapped her arms around his waist. Nick pulled her close, and they stood there for a few moments. While Nick wasn't paying attention, Kristy dropped the letter into his back pocket. She moved back, and smiled weakly. Picking up her bag, Kristy turned around. She never looked back, for things would never again be the same.

Nick boarded his plane with a heavy heart. He shoved his backpack into overhead compartment and lowered himself into the seat. He stood up right away, and dug into his pack pocket. Curiously Nick pulled out a piece of paper. He unfolded it, and was surprised to see Kristy's writing.

Nick,


How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
We even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Cause theres just an empty space
And theres nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
Theres just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And thats what I've gotta face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Cause theres just an empty space
And theres nothing here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
Oh theres just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And thats what I've gotta face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll be still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Thats the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now


There. Thats what I had to say to you. You were my everything Nick, and I'll always love you.
Love you,
Kristy
