Making a Difference (sequel to PDA)

Ch.45: Epilogue

~With Grace~
Grace had everything she could ever wanted. She was living in London helping her daughter Annabell be ready for school. She had Robbie's necklace around her neck. She grabbed her daughter hand and they were out of the apartment complex. Grace was a successful dancer, she had everything she could have dreamed off but she still had a brief stint with relapsing to her cutting or self-harming ways. "I miss daddy" Annabell exclaimed to Grace and Grace just bit her lip to stop the tears. "I know but you know your daddy is no longer in pain and that's all that matters" Grace told her daughter and urged her to go inside school and that's when Grace let the tears slip while wiping her tears off her face.  Once she got back to her apartment, Grace walked up to her attic and she opened a box with magazine covers with her now ex that she could never find or be in love with at all anymore.  Grace was no longer known with a hyphened name instead she took the last name Tomlinson for business purposes. 

The day he proposed to her they both were dancing in the nutcracker for Christmas and all of Grace's family came to see the performance too bad that would be the last time that Grace would see Albany, Chris, and Lilith. Everybody had their own problems and even though Grace was only 22 years old. Grace had seen her life be destroyed because her husband was on a plane crash and his body was caught on fire. She would have to tell her child about her father. Grace would tell her child that Robbie was her first boyfriend ever since she was 15. Grace couldn't bare to look at his items that was now stored in the attic without breaking down. 

With Albany
She was a mom of two struggling and dealing with an overbearing husband that wasn't Andy. The two haven't seen each other since Andy went to college.  Andy ditched the time Noah was two years old and now Albany was alone after her father died from a heart attack and she refused to ask for help from anyone. The last time, she had a conversation with anyone she had to have been 17 now she's 25 years old and she was struggling with life. She had a wrap around her head to cover her now bald head. Albany was dying with Ovarian cancer and one day her kids will be orphaned and that broke her heart. She had stage four, she was weak and fell down and that's when Noah saw his mother fell onto the floor. He called an ambulance and Albany was now in the hospital sleeping. Noah was holding his mother hand and that's when Noah felt tears fell onto the bed. He didn't want his mother to die. He reached into his mother's phone and dialed a number. Noah wasn't dumb he knew his mother was dying and he knew his mother was getting weaker and weaker. Albany was far from the world of entertainment, she wasn't like Chris, Lilith or even Grace. Albany did call to tell Grace that she was sorry for her loss. 

With Chris 
"Chris" Brooklyn came holding a little girl in her arms. Chris stopped playing football with his son who was five years old now. He picked up his son and carried him in his arms. "What's up" Chris asked Brooklyn and Brooklyn sighed. "Noah is on the phone" Brooklyn handed the phone to Chris and Chris picked it up. Chris mouth dropped open and he had to sit down on the couch. Chris sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Albany have cancer" Chris said to Brooklyn and Brooklyn just shook her head in shock. "I have to go" Chris announced to Brooklyn and Brooklyn nodded her head and watched her husband pack for the trip to the hospital in California. He was on the plane and he was beyond nervous to see Albany but here he was standing outside not wanting to go inside but he knew he had to. He felt a tap on his shoulder and there stood his little sister who was no longer little girl anymore. "Lilith" He greeted her and sighed. "Brooklyn called me" Lilith said while adjusting her hair. "Should we go in" Lilith asked Chris and Chris just looked at the building. "I don't know" Chris turned towards his sister. Lilith got rid of her piercings but she had kept her hair short now.  

With Lilith: 
Lilith had to be the one who was pretty successful ever since she got that internship that one summer, Lilith had been hired to design costumes for other movies. To bad it ended up destroying her relationship with Susan in the long run. They stopped talking when Lilith was 18 years old. Now that she was older, she was closer to her mom than her dad and of course dad and Chris stopped getting along in the long run and which meant that Chris never goes home to celebrate the holidays with them. "We can't just stand outside" Lilith brought up to her brother and he sighed. "Yeah what's the hold up" Grace said stepping right next to them. "We all can't just pretend we friends just because she's dying" Chris said harshly. "So what we supposed just let her die by herself. What the hell is wrong with you" Grace pushed Chris and just glared at him. "Look, I get it we all have reasons to be angry with each other but that little boy and that little girl in there needs someone" Grace glared at Chris and Lilith before storming into the hospital room. "You never cared about Albany" Chris turned towards Lilith and Lilith rolled her eyes. "Maybe I am angry with her Chris for ruining my marriage but she's dying" Lilith was the next person to go into the hospital room. 

With Everyone. 
As soon as Chris, Grace and Lilith stepped into her hospital room, it was like every ounce of their being wanted to break down in tears. Lilith was holding onto Albany's hand and Grace was holding onto her other hand. "Guys what are you doing here" Albany said to weak to move her head. "Noah called us" Chris told Albany and Albany sighed. "You wasn't going to tell us that you were dying" Chris said to Albany and Albany had tears in her eyes. "I hurt you guys so much that I didn't want anyone to know how badly sick I was" Albany said while tears fell from her eyes. "Does Sawyer know about this cancer" Grace asked Albany and Albany shook her head. "He's in college, I didn't want him to come home" Albany said. It was silent for moments before Chris called Sawyer to let him know his sister was sick. They all sat on the bed not saying anything before Grace started telling stories about her career and how everything was going. She was showing pictures of little Annabell. Lilith was talking about how she was nominated for more than one movie later this year and Chris was talking about how he was investing in football clubs. Albany sighed and smiled a little bit before hugging Noah and her little girl before she felt her eyes closed shut. The machine was showing that her heart was giving out in that moment. Everyone was now silent and that's when Sawyer burst through the door to see his sister dead. Chris grabbed Sawyer and pulled him into a hug while he was sobbing. Grace sobbed and so did Lilith because now the only people left was Lilith, Grace, Chris.
