Don't You Go (An Alex Gaskarth Story)

Chapter 20

I think this cover that I did a while back is fitting for this chapter.

Well, this is the end you guys. I can't believe it's actually over, it's a bittersweet moment.

Without further ado, I give you the epilogue to Don't You Go.

"Mommy!"

"Alex! Oh my god, did you hear what she said! She said 'mommy'!" I exclaimed to Alex.

"I heard her. Say it again Mykie!"

"I'm gonna call Holly and tell her!"

I grabbed my phone and called my best friend. "Hello? Adia, is everything alright?"

"Holly! Mykie said mommy!"

"Aww she did? I'm so sad I missed it. Zack, Mykie said mommy."

"We'll hear her say it when we get home."

"Adia, we'll be there later on."

"Okay. Bye."

I hung up and Alex was playing with Mykie. "Aww she's so adorable." I said walking to them.

"She is, isn't she? You know, she has the same brown eyes as you."

I chuckled and held her. "I find that hard to believe."

After feeding and changing Mykie, we put her in her crib and left her to go to sleep.

"Finally, alone at last." Alex said gripping my waist and pulling me to him.

I giggled and kissed him. "No fooling around. At least not for another hour."

"Ugh, alright."

I laughed and laced my fingers with his. "Let's go see what's on TCM."

"Okay. What if it's a movie you don't know?" "Then we watch it?"

"You don't want to watch football? I heard the Panthers are playing right now."

"And how did you hear that?"

"I've been keeping up with the scores." He admitted.

I laughed and shook my head and turned it to TCM. In the middle of The African Queen, Zack and Holly came home.

"Where's my daughter?"

"Sleeping." Alex replied.

They both sat down and were asking questions. I let Alex answer them since I knew he wasn't into the movie like I am.

"Adia." Alex said shaking me.

"Huh, what?" I asked confused.

"I was saying, 'get out of my house you fairy troll.'" Holly said.
I rolled my eyes and flipped her off. "Still don't know how you two are best friends." Alex said.

Holly and I smiled and we did our handshake.

Alex and Zack chuckled and we all sat and watched the movie. When it was done and Alex and I left and when we got home, we showered, separately, and got into bed. While we were in our bed, he handed me a box. "What is this?"

"It has your engagement ring in it." He replied nonchalantly.

I froze and looked at him. "Open it." I did and there was an engagement ring in it.

"Adia, I know we've had our fair share of troubles but, will you do the honors of marrying me?"

I smiled and replied, "I thought you'd never ask." I kissed him hard and put the ring on.

Looking back at that memory, I couldn't believe it was only three years ago. After the proposal, two months later, I get a call saying that Alex has been shot by a guy that was robbing a gas station. Seeing him dead was hard, burying him was hard, saying words about him was hard but the hardest thing ever was giving birth without him beside me.

I gave birth to a boy and naturally I named him after Alex. I remember when I told Alex I was pregnant. He was happy that we were finally getting the life we wanted. I don't want this life though, having to go on without my best friend. I've been staying strong for my son because I'm his rock right now but I don't go out.

I only see Holly when she brings over Mykie. Victoria got Jack to settle down. Rian finally proposed to Cassadee after God knows how many years but it's not fair.

They all got their happy ending except me. They all got their dream wedding except me. It's always me. I'm the odd one out. Nothing about me has been the same and quite frankly, I don't give a damn. I just want my husband back but until then I have to be strong, for my son.

When Alex was in the hospital, I told him, "Don't You Go."

And he went.

The End

Omg it's over! I bet you guys weren't expecting that kind of ending! A couple of days ago I told Holly that if I ever got writers block I would kill everyone off. She told me don't you dare and I told her I have that power and I can and will if I have to.

So I did!

Thank you to all that have supported me! Thank you to ashcostelloismywife for inspiring me to write this story, I couldn't have done it without you.

I wrote this story, I think I already mentioned it, because Holly wrote her fanfiction and it inspired me when she first wrote it about a year or two ago. I do have a story that's like this but that one is dark and real. (It's called No Idea if you wanted to read it). Since she rewrote her fanfic, I decided to write another fanfiction and actually finish it. I've only finished 10/24 stories I have and most of those stories are like one shots. But, it's been a while since I actually finished a story in like three months (I think that's actually a first) and I'm really proud of myself for it.

Again, thank you to everyone who supported me, Holly, thank you very much for motivating me and inspiring me and being on my ass about updating.

To everyone, please be careful with everything that you do, your world can be changed in seconds so love everyone as hard as you can and to the fullest.

Love you lots lovelies!
