Save Me From Myself (sequel to "My Neighbor")

Finale

Chapter 23-Finale| Aurora

It's been 3 years since Zander and I took off and started our life together. Life has been going great! We've been keeping up with our jobs and it's been going very well. I decided to finish school and head on to college.

Zander is also doing the same and it hasn't been horrible. It's been tough, but we've been able to get through it just fine. Since Zander and I are both 20 now, Zander came with the great idea to get married.

Yes, I am engaged! We're going to get married in 4 months. With a new step in our journey comes many more ideas. We're now saving up money for a house. Our own house! One that we will own, and we will grow old together... Maybe a couple kids would be wonderful.

Who would've thought Zander was going to be the one to complete my life.

Zander and I have finally moved into a house. We've been here for about 5 months, and he's.. Finally my husband! I get so happy just being able to call him my husband..

"Zander... I don't feel so well" I say as I place my hands over my tummy. I run over to the bathroom and start throwing up. "Babe! Are you okay?" Zander says as he starts rubbing my back. I try to speak but more vomit comes out.

"You haven't been so well these past few days" Zander says. He adds on, "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" I shake my head. I don't think it's a big deal, I probably just had something that upset my stomach is all.

"Aurora.. Did you happen to miss your period by any chance?" Zander asks. I completely forgot about my period. "Can you bring me a bag? I need to go check my calendar" I say. Zander comes back with a bag and I keep it close to my face and go check the calendar.

I always mark the days I'm on my period. "Let's see.. April, May, and June I had it in the beginning of the month.. We're on the 23rd of July.." I say. I look at Zander and his eyes widen. I turn around and throw up in the bag.

"Don't go anywhere I will be right back!" Zander says and grabs his keys and literally runs out the door. "I don't even think I can when I'm throwing up everywhere" I say and laugh, quickly stopped by my dumb vomit.

Zander comes back with a bag from Walgreens. He takes out pepto-bismol and other nausea related medicine. "Take these first" he says as he runs to get water. I decide to take a pill as I don't wanna get the taste of pepto-bismol. Zander hands me a pregnancy test, A few different ones as a matter of fact.

I take three tests and wait for them to process. I feel better nausea wise but I start getting nervous. Zander and I have been wanting to have kids for a while now, I want these tests to turn out positive. "I'm going to go check on them" I say. I walk to the bathroom. I take a deep breath and look at the tests.

I grab all of them and run to Zander. "BABE!" I yell and show him the tests. He looks at them and just stares at them for like 20 seconds. He screams and hugs me "You're pregnant!" He yells. I smile and he smiles as well. "I love you so much" Zander says and kisses me. He places his hand on my stomach. "A baby" he says and smiles.

I go over to the living room only to see Zander sleeping. "Zander were are the kids?" I ask "Who's kids?" He says. My eyes widen "ZANDER!" I yell and run over to the kid's room. Luckily enough they're both sleeping on the bed.

Yes, 2. I had a beautiful boy, then got pregnant once again 2 years later and had a gorgeous girl. Their names are Ryland and Madelyn. Ryland is the oldest and he's 3, Madelyn is only 1 and they have made Zander and I's life so amazing.

I have to go yell at Zander for not keeping an eye on him. I walk over to him but before I know it he's already in the room "What are you doing why aren't you-" he cuts me off by kissing me. Classic. "It was a prank bro" he says and leaves. Of course he would.

"Happy Birthday Madelyn!" Zander, Ryland and I say as Madelyn comes into the kitchen. I made her a big breakfast and she's going to have friends over. My girl is already 15! Let's not even get started on Ryland. He turns 17 in a few months and I remember when they were little babies.

"Thank you so much!" Madelyn says as she comes up to us and hugs us all. Madelyn is beautiful. She has brunette hair and beautiful hazel eyes. I'm surprised she hasn't come home with a boy yet.

Don't get me started on Ryland. That kid has already came home with 3 different girls. I smack him every time he does. I don't worry though, cause there will be a girl who will change his view on everything. Ryland has brown hair and bright blue eyes. Both Madelyn and Ryland have great personalities. Well, Ryland is a bit of a hit with the girls, but who didn't see that coming honestly.

62 years old. Time flies by very fast, you have to be able to catch time before it goes away, because before you know it, you will have your life leave before your own eyes.

Madelyn and Ryland are both parents, and Zander and I are now grandparents. It was like just yesterday Zander and I were moving into our first apartment, and now we're watching our grandkids grow up.

Zander and I sit down on the couch. I grab his hand and he grabs mine. I look at him and smile at him, "My journey with you has been wonderful" I say. "We still have more years to go. We may be old now, but our minds still work like we were younger" Zander says.

"Thank you for sticking with me since we were young. We've had our ups and downs, but I'm just glad I got to go through them with you. I wouldn't of wanted my life to go any other way." I say.

"I love you"

WHAT HAVE I DONE. I wrote that and it hit me in the feels. I hope it doesn't hit you guys too hard in the feels as it did to me. I never would've thought my stories would get as much recognition as it did! I wrote "my neighbor" when I was 12 years old! Yes! 12. I was only 12, I was a little pre-teen with an opened mind. I never thought my little 12 year old self could create a story that so many people would like! I finished this story strong as 15 years old. I'm still a little peanut, but I just can't thank you guys enough to support me with this book/series. I'm so glad I could make content that people would enjoy. I love writing. I love using my imagination it's one of my passions! And having it turn out successful is the best feeling ever. I'm done rambling. I just can't thank you guys enough. I love you all so fREAKING MUCH <3 I am thinking of creating a new story, let me know if you guys would support me in it :) I'm gonna miss writing this story, but like the story said, It was a wonderful journey. Thank you all so much.
