"There For You" By Flyleaf
Epilogue+
I pull at the hem of my dress for the fortieth time and tighter my ponytail again feeling ready to puke. I can’t believe I agreed to this. I can’t believe he got me to agree to this. I’m not ready for this. I’m not even remotely close to ready for this. I can’t handle it and I don’t know why I’m even trying to.
“Relax will you.” Wyatt whispers in my ear as I feel him smirk against my ear. “You act like your going to the electric chair.”
“It would probably be more fun.” I grumble.
Sasha smacks me on the back of the head, “Stop being a brat. It’s your mother not a firing squad.”
“Oh really, dyadya? Because when grandmother is there you’re not a nervous mess.”
He shifts on his feet and averts his eyes, “That’s different.”
“Sure it is.” I drawl with a smirk.
“Shit, are they going to speak Russian?” Wyatt asks suddenly sounding nervous himself.
I turn my smirk on him, “Relax will you. You act like your going to the electric chair.”
He scowls, “Real cute.”
“That’s why you love me.”
He rolls his eyes but I can see the pride in his face as he does it. He admitted it to me as soon as he came stumbling into my hospital room five minutes after Sasha. In fact he nearly yelled it at me like some crazy person but that’s what made it perfect I think. Wrapping an arm around my shoulders Wyatt kisses my temple and I feel resonate down to my toes. I shiver and he grins down at me looking smug.
“Ass.”
“But that’s why you love me.”
“Nope. I only told you that so I could keep dating the closest I’m going to get to the Human Torch.”
He makes a face, “Couldn’t you pick a more bad ass equivalent? I really don’t want to shoat ‘flame on’ in crowded places.”
I laugh and feel some of my nerves fade away. He does this to me, I realize. He makes me feel like the old me again. The one before all the shit but yet better. He makes me feel new and improved, which I am. I can start a fire without matches now and that has provided more than my share of amusement these days, much to Wyatt’s chagrin.
Sasha knocks on the door of the large brownstone that I used to call home. Lorna is beside him, her pregnant belly tucked snuggly under her white top and her crazy brown curls lose around her face. She looks great, she looks ready. I need a few more hours or weeks. Shit maybe even a month if I can get away with it.
When the door swings open I don’t see her right away but I hear her voice. She speaks in a string of Russian that is so fast I can barely keep up but its most likely greeting and compliments. Mother has always been fast with the compliments to new guests. She doesn’t like making a bad impression.
Finally her ice blue eyes, so similar to Sasha’s land on me. Her eyes widen and her smile dims as she takes me in. Then the impossible happens, she starts to cry. Me and Wyatt are still at the foot of the stairs so she comes rushing down them before she throws her arms around me. I don’t return the hug at first, I think I may in too much shock to do it but when she whispers a few words in my ear I feel my walls falling.
“Lyubimaya doch'” She whispers as her tears seep into the sleeve of my dress.
My own eyes mist at the sound of the old endearment. Beloved daughter she called me and now to hear them again makes it all finally real. Wrapping my arms around her too she begins to sob in my ear as I quietly cry on her shoulder.
And for once I actually might believe in miracles.
Just this once.

So tomorrow ended up being tonight. Who would have thought? Lol. So this is it. THE END. How sick is it that i'm deeply depressed about this. ITS THE END! OH GOD! What the hell am I going to do with myself now? Ugh.
Anyway, I want to thank every one of you who were amazing enough to not only read this book but some of you who read the whole 'Dark Series'. Its been a really awesome ride and writing these have been sometimes difficult but mostly some of my best and most exciting work. I loved every minute of reading your guy's reactions and all your supports. Its meant so much to me and I couldn't feel more blessed. So again, thank you!
Next up....A recommendation ;}
