Time to close this chapter! I took a while because I didn't know how I wanted to do it, but then it hit me just what I needed to do. I just wanted to thank you all for taking this journey with me. I absolutely adore you all and adore Kamari and Sorai, so I hope I can end their story the best way possible.

Please ignore any and all mistakes.

Singing along to Summer Walkers's CPR, Sorai kept her focus on the book in front of her. With only 2 weeks left of school, and graduation on the 19th, she was in a much better place mentally, physically, and emotionally. She needed to find herself and took the necessary steps in order to do so.

She's been in therapy consistently for 2 weeks and she's made so much progress.

No one could hold her hand through the process, she had to get to the current place she's at alone. But the encouragement from her mom, Kamari, Donovan, and Gabrielle was always appreciated. They were always in her corner, ready to support her and be there for her with whatever she wanted.

But she never asked for anything, just knowing they were there gave her the necessary push she needed.

She has taken all her pain and put in front of her, because ignoring it only made it worse. She had to face every issue individually, and she did. She had to forgive a lot of people, but she had to forgive herself first. She wasn't perfect and of course it would take more time but she was so proud of herself.

She could look in the mirror and finally feel beautiful, on the inside.

A knock at her door interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in." She called out, looking up to see who it was. The door opened revealing Gabrielle, who was smiling brightly.

"Hey gorgeous! I just stopped by to see you." She said, stepping all the way in and closing the door behind her. She was holding a big black bag in her hand.

"Hey." Sorai smiled back, placing her bookmark inside the book and closing it. She say it on the kickstand beside her before moving off the bed to stand up. Once she was up she walked over to Gabrielle and they hugged each other briefly. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming over?"

"Mhm," Gabrielle hummed softly, rubbing her back before pulling back to check her out. "Because— there's something going on that I can't quite tell you. But you and I both know I'm a bad liar so I'll be honest and say that I'm happy to see you but I'm also here for a purpose."

Sorai scrunched her face up in confusion. "Huh? What's going on?"

Gabrielle opened her mouth but quickly shut it, knowing if she said anything else she was going to spill all the beans. And the people involved would kill her. So she quickly smiled again and grabbed Sorai's hand, pulling her towards her bathroom.

"Nothing you need to worry ya beautiful little head about, just trust me and let me work my magic. I don't wanna hear an objection, a peep— absolutely nothing. Just smile and listen."

Sorai stood there even more confused, but she nodded slowly. She didn't know what else to do.

"Great." She smiled wider, gently pushing her towards her bathroom. "Go in there and take a shower, I also need you to wash your hair and shave— and when I say shave I mean everything."

Sorai opened her mouth but quickly shut it when Gabrielle sent her a didn't I just say look. "O-okay." She whispered, moving around her to enter the bathroom.
