Epilogue
I sat in my seat, fiddling with the exam as my teacher paced around the room. My pen was tapping against my temple as I narrowed my blue eyes everyone around me was glancing at each other for assistance. If only they studied... I mentally laugh at their helplessness, thoughts of changing my appearance swarmed my mind... I should dye my hair red as red as fire. “Elliot?” Lisa whispered next to me, “How is you and Tylor?”
I give her thumbs up, Tylor and I have been going out for four months now... it was all sort of sudden but it happened. Basically I had sudden courage and asked her out of the blue, Christal is still in hospital fighting for her life... BOO YEAH! Emily and Tom have been up to mischief... poor Emily her mind has been tainted by the worst role-model ever. As for her and I, Emily finally confirmed that she didn’t exactly care for me anymore in a loving way. No, she’s not with Tom she actually wants to date a new guy in the school named... you guessed it... Andy. Turns out he was lying about going to our university at first, but who cares.
I quit my old job at the video store and decided to work at a local advertiser. Paid well, well enough to support Mum and Dad through their life... while spending my money on cosplay and stuff. Kira and I chose to abandon our old hideout and we trashed it last week, as for my weapons? Old habits die hard, they still reside in my jacket... which I don’t wear anymore unless I’m out in the dark... never know when I’m going to run into a girl similar to Rikki. As for Kent? Well, him and I are going strong extremely strong I must add. We go to bars often and get drunk as if we had done it all our lives, he also owns a art shop in the city. Thankfully the police have dropped the Honor Case after Brodie and J.J moved away which was two years after the Honor War. It was a long run at that time but I managed to live through it with the help of my friends who kept a good head on their shoulders despite their obvious tendency to be bitches... thanks Tom you bastard.
As for Kira? Well secretly he goes out and hunts wildlife, like I said... old habits die hard... at least they aren’t humans. He and Nicholas started another band since Kira got into a fight with someone... who had a name I could never pronounce. Turns out the guy was named Ronnie and now sings hate songs about ‘Stuck in Neutral’ instead of ‘Escape the Fate.’ Hey, haters gonna hate.
Tom? What about him? He still is as hyperactive as a two year old who received her first lollipop, he’s on his last year of Uni and he’s proud to admit it. He also teaches kick-boxing on Wednesday nights, him and I decided to ditch the dorm and moved into a house close to Kira’s... it wasn’t cheap and we are still renting. I bet the landlords think we’re gay for each other. We also bought two dogs, one being a black border collie which I claimed and named ‘Skylar’ the other was a red husky... Tom named it ‘Taint.’
As for Taint? Not a moment goes by without me thinking about him, his infectious laugh and disgusting humor... from his intense strict personality to his sarcastic laid-back killer behaviour. I miss him... I miss him dearly.

“Elliot?” I looked up at my co-worker, who was Lisa... yes she works with me too. “I can’t train the new-kid today, will you be able to?” I nodded and she turned away and a male sat next to me, “Damien, this is Elliot.” I turned to the male and dropped my jaw.
Taint.
