" Let's get out of here." Emma said. They all went out of the road and saw some of the students looked over to them. Mixed gestures, some of them have smiles, but some of them were judging remembering the accusations and dramas from the past.

Just in time as Avery walked in the backstage with Cassie and the rest of the 3 clubs.

" Holyyyyyy... YOU GUYS ARE BACK!" Tahani exclaimed. They smiled. The 3 clubs immediately gave them a hug.

" We gotta go." Avery G. Said and they all nodded. " Nat, where are you going?" Avery asked. " I'll be home in an hour." Natalie said grabbing her bag and followed her friends to her car and drove away.

Everyone all went home and Liv, Oliver, Liam, and Max saw Avery getting inside the car with Cassie and drove away.

" Maybe Cassie was giving her a ride home. It all makes sense because Natalie took the car." Oliver said.

" Yeah, they seem to be a lot closer than before." Liv said. " WmI wouldn't think twice, they do have a lot in common. For example, Cassie and Avery both have fighting spirits, but of course, they both grew up in a wealthy family." Max said.
They all agreed then waved their goodbyes and drove away and went home.

At S&N, Natalie and her friends sat down by the booth they usually seat back then. They just sat there and talked for hours, catching up with each other and what they have missed.

Natalie has never been so happy. You could tell it in her eyes she missed her friends so much.

" Remember when after school we always go to the mall when we were in 7th grade?" Sophia asked.

" Yes, I could totally remember it clearly." Natalie chuckled. A grin her face.

" Oh yeah, we always have to go home the half an hour we got there because
"Tate" was always being asked for pictures by fans. " Emma said.

" So... Are you guys going back to Quinton again?" Jake asked. Their smiles slowly faded then shook their heads.

" That's OK, I think Clairsville are still accepting students." Natalie said. " No.... About that..." Sophia said.

They all looked at each other." What's going on guys?... Is everything OK?" Natalie started to worry.

" The reason why we came here is... " Avery G. Trailed off unable to continue her words." We just came here for some closure." Bella said.

Natalie and Jake's smile faded.
" Closure?" Jake asked." We're not coming back. We're leaving... For good." Emma said.

" It's pretty obvious people still think we did something wrong... We just can't. We're very sorry but we have to do what we need to do. Get out of this town. " Bella said.

Natalie and Jake looked so bummed." Are we able to come by and visit you guys?" Jake asked.

" Maybe. Who knows. " Sophia said." I just have one thing I really want to prove. I want to prove Emma's innocent and find justice for my brother." Avery G. Said.

" We're very sorry we didn't have the chance to say goodbye to you the first time we left. Now, it's our final goodbye. Just remember we love you both. So much. You're like our siblings. The best. " Emma said.

Natalie and Jake smiled." I'm glad you're finally getting more recognition you deserve and that Jake's happy with Amari. I wish you guys the best of everything. " Sophia said.

" I guess we better leave." Bella said looking at the time. They all went out of S&N and stood by the parking lot." I'm gonna miss you guys." Bella said that made everyone tear up and formed a group hug one last time.
