Life usually isn't complete. Things are left up in the air. There are always "what ifs". What if I hadn't gone to the mall out of town today? What if I hadn't chosen to walk into that store? What if I'd chosen to leave my house five minutes later?
I see her. She's walking out of the store. Her hair is still blue, and her glow—it's returned.
She's alone, just like I am. I considered coming here with Mani, but now, I'm really glad I didn't.
Time seems to slow. I can't see anyone else but her. It's been over a year since I saw her last. Since she left.
She looks the same—only...happier. She's more beautiful than before. There's a lightness in her movements that I'd never seen before. She looks genuinely happy.
I falter. Do I say something? Should I just let her go?
But that's when she turns this way and sees me. Her eyes widen in realization, and her mouth falls open.
"Lauren?" she asks, starting to walk toward me. "Lolo?"
That's when I finally make my decision. And I can see that she's made hers, too.
And her name leaves my lips. "Ash."
A/N
aaaaaas you can see the ending is up in the air
life isn't complete, and neither is this book. You can make a choice, like they did. Do they get back together? Do they simply acknowledge each other and part ways? It's up to you to decide. Has Ashley actually changed, or is she just having a good day? Maybe she has a girlfriend waiting in her car or at home. And for that matter, is Lauren with Mani? It's not clear. And it's up to you.
Thank you to everyone who's read this book and put up with my slow updates. I truly appreciate your support. xx
