EPILOGUE

"The end of one chapter and the beginning of another."

[Epilogue]

AS THE DARK twilight sky melts away, the morning sunrise glares through the bedroom window. I watch as the different shades of yellow and blue mould together creating more colours.

It's finally here. The day that I've been waiting for, for thirteen years. Now, I have no excuses not to graduate. I finally have peace and am able to do what I want. No one can stop me anymore.

It's finally time for me to start a new chapter in my life.

I stare at myself in the mirror. My eyes drag down to my body, finally stopping on the piece of clothing I'm wearing. The white dress fits perfectly around my torso before it flows out down to the middle of my thighs. It's matched with white heels, making me look a lot taller than I really am.

For most people, graduation marks the end of high school, the end of some friendships and the blossoming of independence and adulthood. For me though, graduating means so much more. It marks the end of one life and the beginning of another. A new sort of freedom and happiness. It means so much more to me than anyone can imagine.

Even if I didn't get any sleep last night because of the intense nerves running through my system, I still manage to feel the course of excitement that runs through my veins.

Adam finally moved in with me a couple of months ago. To say Millie was upset to see her older brother leave is an understatement, but when she realised that he only moved a few blocks away, she calmed down and was more excited than sad.

Adam suddenly appears in my line of vision, his hand brushing softly down my cheek. My eyes flutter up towards his own and he grins at me.

"Big day, Prezioso. Also, may I add that you look so gorgeous...?" Adam groggily whispers into my ear. My cheeks turn a bright red making a smirk appear on Adams' face.

"It's good to see I still have that effect on you," he says, chuckling. I roll my eyes and smile.

"Whatever makes your ego bigger, babe," I tease. Adam laughs and takes hold of my hand.

"Ready?" He asks. I nod my head and smile.

"Of course..."

-

"Izzy!" A cheery Millie squeals in delight. I grin at her before I elope her in a hug.

"Mills!" I yell back. Millie laughs at the new nickname and tackles me in a tight embrace. She snuggles her head into the crook of my head and smiles while tangling with my hair.

"I haven't seen you in so long," she mutters sadly with a sigh. I look at her and shake my head. Both Adam and I had been focusing so hard on the work that we haven't had any time to take Millie out to places. We both also managed to get jobs because my parent's money wasn't going to pay for our lives forever.

"After today, I promise we'll go out and have a girl's day. Sound good?" I ask. Millie quickly nods her head and begins jumping up and down.

"Can I sleep over too?" Millie questions out loud. I laugh, throwing my head back, and smile down at her.

"I don't know..." I question thoughtfully, tapping my chin in a joking way.

"Please!" Millie begs, practically getting on her knees.

"Hmm..."

"Please!" Millie now screams. I burst out into a fit of laughter and nod my head.

"Of course, silly."
