My last breath

She had taken a year off from school after graduation. Just some time to relax a bit before jumping right back to the books. The year had been great, she was able to talk her parents into a trip to Italy with her best friend as one last burst of adolescence. When her year was up, it seemed like it went by too fast. Grace made the promise though, and she always kept her word.
The backseat of her small sedan was as full as it would get. Not that she had that much stuff, it was just that small of a car. She had made arrangements with her brother to stay with him while she went to school. it was to save money so she wasn't bogged down with student loans later. Repeating the house number over and over, "2305...2305," just then the GPS spoke up. 'In .2 miles turn right, then proceed .4 miles to destination'. Turning the wheel as she reached the corner she looked at the numbers on the buildings.
He had said he was in a small two bedroom house, white with blue trim. Raising a brow, she saw two different houses with that description. Then she saw it, a large black 2305 beside the front door. Pulling into the driveway right behind his car, she put it in park. Grabbing her keys from the ignition she stepped out of the vehicle. The short pink dress had ridden up her thighs a little during the drive, so she fixed it while walking to the door.
Knocking on the door, she waited with a big smile. Jingling her keys as she waited for her one and only brother to answer. Hearing the door knob turn, when the door was open, Grace threw her arms around him. "Hey big brother, been a while since I last saw you."
