epilogue

four years later

skylar's pov

"Come on, Sky! It's basically the weekend!" Mariana exclaims and I look at her,

"Mariana, I have to pack." I respond and she groans, "Plus, it's Tuesday."

"Yeah, but we're officially done with college! It's the weekend all the time until we have a job!" she exclaims and I shake my head, "You're so boring, plus Jack(not dail) will be at this party."

"I see Jack everyday."

"You're such a buzzkill." she sits beside me, "It's Tuesday."

"It is."

"You waiting for them to upload?" she asks and I look at her, "How many subscribers now?"

"Four million and climbing." I sigh, "I miss them, Mariana."

"I know you do but it's time you finally move on. You guys just spread apart, it doesn't mean you have to be hung up on them for the rest of your life."

"They were my best friends, Mariana. Six months after we all left, we stopped talking and it's weird adjusting to."

"You still have me and I'm better than those dicks." she looks at me, "Let's go party with your hot best friend and your hot boyfriend and forget about them."

"I really have to pack, Mariana, we're moving back home tomorrow." I say and she looks at me, "You and I are also going apartment hunting, do you really want to be hungover?"

"I think I'll get over it." she says, "Fine, you need to pack?" she grabs my phone and calls Jack, "Come over and help me and your girlfriend."

"Really?"

"He's your boyfriend of two years, it's okay." she responds and sits on my bed with me. A few minutes later the door swings open,

"What's up?" he walks over, kissing me and sitting beside me.

"Hi," I smile,

"So, what did you guys need help with?" he asks and Mariana sighs,

"Your girlfriend is refusing to go to the last college party of her life because she needs to pack."

"Why don't you go? I can help you pack tomorrow and we can procrastinate going home and me meeting your family for the first time." he says, "No offense, but you've warned me and I'm kinda worried about what Sophia will do to me."

"Shut up." I laugh, "Fine, Ill go."

"Alright, Im going to go and borrow a shirt from Elena but I'll be back in a few minutes." she says, walking out. I look over at Jack,

"What's wrong?" he asks,

"I'm kinda dreading moving home, lots of memories there that I don't really want a reminding of."

"Well, I'll be there this time. We can make our own memories." he says and I nod, smiling. He places a kiss on my lips, "Let's get ready."

Grayson's POV

"Dude, we have to upload!" I yell to Ethan,

"But look at my tongue!" he exclaims and I roll my eyes,

"You're fine." I say, pressing the button. "You think she still watches?"

"I don't know, man." he sighs, "I don't see why she would, we aren't really friends anymore."

"We'll always be her friends." I retort, "She moved on from us."

"She moved on from you, relationship-wise." he says, "Isn't it time you do the same?"

"Well, yeah, but you know the fans, they'd go crazy."

"They'll adjust, they don't own our love lives." he says,

"Alright, take some of your own advice." I respond and he looks at me, "I'm just saying I miss her."

"And I'm just saying she's moved on, it's time we do, too."

Skylar's POV

"Max!" I exclaim, petting him. He immediately goes over to Jack and Mariana.

"Right." I nod, walking into the kitchen. I did see my family like two weeks ago, so I'm not expecting them to freak out or anything.

"You're home? Again?" Sawyer asks and I flip him off,

"Why are you home? Again? Don't you have school?" I ask and he shakes his head,

"I'm on break." he responds and I nod, "Wheres the boyfriend we're finally going to meet?"

"Hmm, wheres Sophia?" I joke and she walks in from the living room,

"Don't worry, not interested." she sits down and I nod as Mariana and Jack walk in, Mariana immediately walking over to Sawyer and hugging him.

"Alright, guys, this is Jack. Jack, that's Sawyer and that's Mariana."

"Nice to meet you guys." he says and they both nod, looking him over,

"Want anything to eat or drink?" I ask and he shakes his head,

"Um, you didn't ask me." Mariana says,

"Um, you basically live here." I respond and she rolls her eyes. "What time are mom and dad going to be back?"

"I don't know."

"Alright, well, we're going apartment hunting, tell mom and dad we'll be home later if they come back." I say,

"Wait, can we talk to you? Alone?" Sawyer asks and I nod, Mariana and Jack walking out,

"You're happy with Jack?"

"I am."

"And he hasn't treated you at all like Grayson did?"

"He hasn't."

"Then we approve." Sawyer says and I nod,

"Cool." I say, giving a nod and walking out.

"What'd they want?" Mariana asks,

"To know if I'm happy with Jack."

"Are you?"

"Yes."

It took a little bit, but I finally recovered from the aftermath of his storm. But who knows, maybe our paths will cross again.

the end.

officially

wow, that felt so weird, i really love this story and i didn't know how to write the epilogue but here we go

thank you guys for all of the support you've given this book, i never thought it'd be as successful as it has been and it feels really nice to know you all love it...well you did, maybe not after how i ended it.

a lot of you wanted grayson and skylar to make up and get back together but i thought it would be really hard especially after how much he hurt her, they couldn't come back from something like that...also there wont be a sequel

i have another book that i'm starting that i'm pretty excited to write and i'm also writing crushed, which i disappeared from for a while to focus on this one, so go check those out.

anyways, love you all and its been nice seeing ya❤️❤️
