Trigger warning for sexual harassment and discussions of rape
Kalli here. Well everyone this is it. The last chapter of For Evermore. We have decided to jam pack basically an entire crossover into this chapter. We truly appreciate all your comments and support along the way and while this story is over, it will always be here for you. And I'll end with this, stay tuned.
Terryn here. It's a bittersweet moment for me to say this is the final chapter. This was one of my favorite books I've ever written and I'm glad I had the best co author ever. Thank you all for sticking with us and I've enjoyed the experience.I hope we didn't break your hearts too much. Without further ado here's the chapter.
There are three songs in this chapter
Rafael's is Petrified from the musical Taboo (While not in the same context, I have included a video of the performances because it's that powerful) https://youtu.be/0f_0z1kuPUo
Olivia's song is I'm Done from Rocky the musical https://youtu.be/0Rm5_Mp4f6U
And the duet is All The Wasted Time from the musical Parade https://youtu.be/z9wGU0r6yso
Rafael goes through the last few stages of his healing. Jet deals with her own progress regarding her issues with Elliot. And a big secret comes out causing Olivia and Rafael to realize how much they truly love each other
The next morning Rafael woke up feeling pretty well rested. He could still feel the dull pain in his chest but he was alive and he knew he was going to be okay. He smiled as he saw that Eduardo was tucked under his arm. And his smile grew a little bit when he saw Olivia peek her head through the door
"How are you feeling this morning Rafael?" Olivia said as she had come in from the living room to check on her partner.
"Not one hundred percent but better." He said.
"That's good. I brought you some breakfast if you're feeling up for it."
" Thank you Liv. I'm just glad I can eat more food now."
"Pancakes make everything better."
The two chuckle and Olivia puts the tray next to Rafael. He sees a smiley face made of whipped cream
"Courtesy of Noah." Olivia said
"I love him so much, Liv."
"I know you do Rafa. And if I haven't said it already, thank you for protecting him yesterday. I can't believe Elliot had the audacity to go near him."
"He was really brave yesterday, Liv."
"He told me yesterday that he was brave just like you, Rafa."
Her voice starts to crack.
"He was so happy. He's always been proud of you, but he's never been proud like this. You'll always be a hero in his eyes. You'll also always be a hero to me and the man I love."
"I know I did a lot of awful things but I will do whatever it takes to be the man you and Noah deserve."
"You already are Rafa, and I know you still have some things to work through, but if anyone can, it's you. Now I'll let you enjoy your breakfast."
Olivia goes to leave
"Wait, Liv., Why don't you and Noah join me? I could use the company before I have my next therapy session."
"That sounds wonderful Rafa."
Olivia leaves the bedroom and Rafael looks down at his plate of pancakes, the whipped cream has started to melt a little but the love's still there. A few minutes later Olivia walks back into the room with Noah and two plates of pancakes
