Okay... so for those of you that have been reading this since the beginning, Thank You for sticking with this story thus far... and I am sorry to all of my readers (if I have any left) because I am horrible at sticking to update dates. So again, sorry...
I am sure that many of you are stoked to hear that this is my last chapter! YAY! and I can understand if nobody wants to review... but I would really appreciate it because I feel that this last chapter was really poorly written, but I kind of wanted to finish it all in one go...
Anywhooo... for my readers, READ ON!
Ever since I woke up, there has been someone at my side, be it my mom, dad, brother, sister, or one of the Sons and their girlfriends. At first it was a little overwhelming, as I wasn't sure how to react. But as the days went by, I became accustomed to it.
There had been a handful of accidents and getting in trouble, mostly caused by Reid, but those made my stay fun. One such incident was when Reid and Alex worked together to bring Aurora into the hospital to see me. When that nurse walked into the room, I thought she was going to have a heart attack. She started yelling and screaming at Reid for bringing Aurora into the hospital at all, let alone in my room. He got kicked out, but Alex wasn't even blamed.
After being stuck in the hospital for almost two months (being unconscious for half of that time), Tyler's dad was finally letting me leave.
As I worked to pull on the sweat pants that Britt brought for me, I heard the door swing open and looked up. Tyler stood there with a small smile on his face. "Need some help?" he asked.
I smiled shyly at him. "Please." As he helped me stand up, my mind wandered.
Tyler was the one constant. He had been there when I woke up, and it seemed like he had never left. When I woke, he was there, and the last thing I saw before I fell asleep were his beautiful eyes. Every time I looked at him, the love that I felt for him seemed to spread throughout my entire being. The feeling made me want to jump up and hug him until he couldn't breathe.
I broke out of my thoughts when Ty waved his hand in front of my face. "Where'd you go?" he asked, with a joking smile.
I smiled lightly at him. "Just into La La Land." I sighed as I tested my weight on my feet, and walked over to the wheel-chair (stupid thing) and sat down. If it were up to me, I would be walking out of here, but Ty's dad was all 'You could fall and get hurt!', so I quit arguing just so he would shut up.
Just as Ty opened his mouth to day something, Alex walked in.
"Hey, Casey," Alex said, "you ready to go yet?" The look on his face told us that he didn't care if he had just interrupted something, but that he was happy I was getting out today.
I smiled at him. "Yeah! I'm ready to get out of this God-forsaken place once and for all!" I smiled widely at the thought that I may not have to come back to the hospital for anything but check ups.
Tyler pushed me out the door in the wheel-chair, and Alex walked slightly in front of us to the nursing station to sign my ticket to freedom. When we got outside the front doors, I threw my hands into the air and let out a shout.
"Oh it's so GOOD to be out of there!" I said, with a mirth filled laugh. I stood up and spun around to face the two boys behind me, and my face turned serious. "If I ever do anything that might put me back in the hospital, slap me!" I laughed again at the feeling of freedom that had captured me. I smiled at Alex, and said, "Take me home."
His only response was to grab my hand and pull me towards the car, Tyler following us closely.
I reached my arms up above my head, and pointed my toes towards the end of my bed. That was one of the best things about any day: stretching. Just the feeling of the muscles pulling tight before loosening up, and then feeling like you don't want to move at all. I smiled as I sat up in bed, and stretched again. Today was the day that I could finally go back to school. It was Monday, February 15, and I was finally going back to school. I never thought that spending over a month in a hospital would actually make someone miss school with such a fervor. But boy, I had been home for two days, and I was just a-bouncing, excited to get back to learning from my teachers, throwing things at said teachers with Reid, having fun at lunch, and (above all) going to Nicky's with everybody. Thoughts like this flowed throughout my mind I went through my morning ritual: shower, brush teeth, fix hair, pull on clothes, and mark off another day on the calendar as I make my way out of my room.
The day went by smoothly, and I even landed myself in detention, because I didn't care if the teachers caught me throwing erasers at them. Oh life was good!.
The months passed, and I went to my monthly check-ups without fail, spent tons of time with my friends and family, spent a lot of my time with Tyler, and graduated highschool. After graduation, all of our families went out for dinner (25 people!), and something incredibly surprising happened.
Just after we all ate our main courses and conversations about college and university were over, and just before dessert was brought out, the four Sons of Ipswich and Alex did something that none of us thought they would. They each turned towards their girlfriend (Pogue to Kate, Caleb to Sarah, Alex to Sierra, Reid to Britt, and Ty to me), and asked, simultaneously, "Will you marry me?"
There was a stunned silence from everyone at the table, but by the looks on the boys' faces, they had planned to all do it at the same time. I looked around me and met the eyes of the other girls, and wasn't surprised to see them all with tears in their eyes. And then, all five of us simultaneously said (or rather yelled), "YES!"
A lot of kissing was next, and the rest of the night passed in a blur.
I went to Tyler's house for the night (as my parents said 'Oh you're getting married honey, you can spend as much time over there as you want!') , and as we stood on his bedrooms balcony, I looked at him.
He looked much like the boy that I met less than a year ago, save for his eyes. His eyes were the same beautiful blue, but they held more emotions now than they did. Contentment, happiness and grief to name a few. But what over powered those emotions, something that I really liked seeing, was love. As he looked into my eyes, and I looked into his, we both seemed to understand that we really loved each other, more than anything.
I smiled at him and spoke my thoughts. "I love you, Tyler Simms."
His eyes twinkled. "I love you too, Samantha Wilson."
As we kissed, I could feel the full moon watching over us. It felt as if she were saying, "I will watch over you forever."
Short, I know... Now that this story is done! I have a message for you all.
Some of you may be acquainted with my Twilight fanfiction 'Intentions'. I would like you to know, that 'Intentions' is now up for adoption. I cannot remember where I was going with it, and I have no desire to continue with it. So if you want to adopt it, then shoot me a message and I will give you what I have.
So if you have stuck with this story until the end, THANK YOU!, and if not, I really can't blame you. I have learned my lesson to have all of the chapters typed out BEFORE setting the story on ... So this is the end, and I thank you one more time (thank you), and now I say goodbye.
BYE BYE! 3
