So I'll just come out and say it. My dad's picked up a transfer to Atlanta, and we're leaving at the end of the week.

Sudden, I know. Dad... wasn't happy about what happened at Halloween. He was already making unhappy noises about Columbia, and the fact I knew people who had been involved, and that they hadn't wanted the police involved. Then a freaking demon turns up and nearly takes down the whole nightclub. Gangs he can handle, he says. Demons, not so much.

I've told Amanda already tonight. She didn't take it very well. Got all curt and clipped at me down the phone, and then hung up before I was done explaining. And I feel like a real shit now. Besides the fact I'm, well, leaving her. We could have tried the long-distance thing, but I'm already coming second, with not living here. Living in another state? Well, that'd put me completely out of the running. So it's better to have a bit lot of pain now, instead of drawing it out, eh?

Or at least that's the idea.

Any way, this is goodbye. We'll keep in touch, okay? Email, HeliX news, all that? I was thinking of starting a chapter down at the new school, when I get there. Keep me posted on all the news. Especially the news regarding a certain witch with an adorable British accent... and damnit, here I go again with the crying. I'd better wrap here before I drown my keyboard or something.

Take care of her for me, Angelo? And of yourself and that girl of yours.

Love,

Beth.

B,

I... can't say this is good news, but I don't think you'd want me to. It's not your fault, though - can't argue with your dad taking you out of state. And I can't even say I blame him... much.

Just so you know, in case it helps any, Amanda taking it badly probably isn't all to do with you. Sarah took off last week, went to join Shinobi in Japan, and she won't be coming back here to live. So Amanda's a bit more sensitive about people leaving right now than she would be normally... not that she doesn't care most of the time, but you know what I mean.

We'll totally keep in touch. And if I make it down to Atlanta, or you find yourself back up here for any reason (or, hell, if we meet in the middle) we'll go out or something. I'll keep you updated on everything, don't worry.

You know I will. And you, stay safe. I'll see you around.

Angelo
