An Imperfect Beauty and Her Beast

I'm Okay

A/N Well it looks like we are coming to a close to the story. I never knew I would finish it or how long it would take. And seeing it all wrapped up makes me kinda sad. It's been a pleasure writing and making all of you freak out and throw your phones across the room. But I don't think I'll be finishing without an epilogue. Please Vote/Comment/Share!

David's POV

 4 MONTHS LATER.

I boarded off the plane and hastily called a taxi as I shifted the light weight on my back from left to right impatiently. I had only brought a backpack full of stuff, but I thought it would be enough. I had a credit card just in case anyways. I occasionally felt the key to my new apartment in my pocket just to make sure I hadn't lost it already. I fiddled with her worn sonic screwdriver in my hands. She had left it in her bedside table when she left. I figured she might want it back. 

I nervously rubbed my arms and tailed my hand down to my first scar. It lay worn on my wrist, but practically burried with others. It took time for me to get better. It was like I covered my soul in cuts and it bled out my desire to live. And although I may not be able to erase my scars, I can stop adding to them. It took months of therapy and more to stabilize myself, but I don't want to go into it. What happened, happened I couldn't change that. But I was able to change the future. I got better. I no longer rely on cutting or the thought of killing myself as an escape. And I won't rely on Giovanna. If she accepts me, that is. I still love her of course. Even as the months passed, my feelings for her didn't change. 

The taxi driver told me that it would take a while to get to my destination so I just nodded and sat in thought. Of course I felt like bursting outt of my skin, but I began thinking about the days prior instead. It was only days ago that I knocked on Giovanna's door. I thought she would still be there. You could imagine my surprise when I heard that she wasn't. Matt was the one that opened the door. The moment he saw me, he hugged me.

**Flahsback**

"Whoa!" Matt's arms wrapped tightly around my stomach. He definitely grew since the last time I'd seen him.

"I knew you would come. A little late, but you still came. But why aren't you a beast?"

"Magic," I smiled down at him.

I was grateful that he didn't pressure my answer. He just continued grinning as I asked for Giovanna. But when I did that, his smile faltered.

"What is it? Is she out?"

"Yeah, out of the state," he grumbled.

"What?!" My heart practically leapt out of my chest when I heard his words.

"She went with Jesse back to college. They're in Boston now."

"What?" I repeated, more exasperated than anything.

"But you can still get there. Just get on a plane and go to Boston Uni."

"How long ago did she leave?"

"About a couple of weeks ago."

I stayed silent, contemplating on what to do next.

"...Are her and Jesse a thing?"

"No," he answered immediately. "Thank God too, I don't like them dating. He's nice, but you're the one that's right for her."

"Thanks man...Uh how has she been?"

"She hasn't been as good as she used to. She's been having more attacks and nightmares. I try to help, but they don't stay away for long. That's why Gina is always worried about her. Especially now that she's all the way in Boston."
