40-Alex-The Grand Finale

chapter forty, you can't afford me

FIVE YEARS LATER

Looking back on everything, the fight was pointless. I stand here in my home, still with Oli, with a college degree. Everything she did only made me stronger, and made me become an advocate for getting help and leaving abusive relationships. Even after what she did, my world had become so much larger.

First things first, There has been two expansions to our Family. Well- more if I think about it. The one everyone cares about is that me and Oli did get married. He took my lastname, which is the best part I think because this is a revolution. It happened in the spring, we went to a park up to the north and had a small ceremony with all our friends, it was nothing big but I loved it so much.

       Then there's our new dog, Betty. She's an Australian Shepard and.. I just love her so much. She's a good girl. 10/10. We got her so that Catherine would have someone to grow up with. Who is Catherine you find yourself asking? ONLY THE BEST PERSON ALIVE! She's.. she's our daughter. Yea. That uh.. was an experience.

      Words cannot describe how amazing it has been to go on this journey. I mean not even ten minutes ago Oli and the rest of our family just got the invite to Scott and Mariel's wedding. He's on the phone right now with Scott talking about how amazing it's going to be (he's the best man).

      Joel and Lizzie are staying in our guest room right now with their twins who get along marvelously with Catherine. They ran by me as I smiled, wondering how my life got to this point. I won't lie, I haven't even seen Lily in years. Last time I did, she was ruining Callum and Jess's wedding with whoever she was dating at the time.
 
        I sat on the couch by Lizzie and wrapped my hand on my cup of coffee. She had on a pink sweater and was watching some episode of Stranger Things. We talked about the Kids and all of our pets (She has.. so many at this point.) Joel was in the kitchen cooking something so we had some time to chill. All of our problems eased away as we talked about nonsense and the dumb things we found happiness in these days.

       I heard the mail come so I walked to the door, put on some slippers, and went out to get it. I opened the box, after waving hi to the neighbors who where out on their porch and lawn playing in the fresh snow, and reached for what was inside. A few magazines, some spam, and a turquoise box.

     I walked back inside and placed everything but the box on the counter. I told Oli (who seemed to have just gotten off the phone) and he followed me into our room to see what it was. I grabbed my pocket knife off of our dresser and cut the tape off of it. "What's inside?" he asked, so I gave him a "are you freaking kidding me" look. He smiled and shook his head, watching as I opened it. There was nothing inside besides a slip of paper in which I read aloud:

       "It's only just begun" I said. Oli stared at me and I shrugged. I showed it to Liz and Joel, but neither of them knew what it meant. Then it hit me. Lily. I told them quickly and then pulled out my phone to call 911. I informed them on what happened, and they said that it was probably nothing but they would come to check it out as soon as possible.

         But after a week, nothin happened. We shrugged it off and continued with our lives. Lizzie, Joel and their kids went back to England and we continued with our lives. Lily used to hold this supreme power over us but honestly she has no power. From what I hear, the package was traced back to her and she is now facing legal charges. I made a video talking about what the Frick had happened and that was it.

        Me and Oli ( and Betty and Catherine) intend to live on for as long as possible, without her. Throughout this whole adventure of a life there is no one I want to spend it with more than Oliver, period. Except maybe Catherine, but she's only one so she isn't exactly good at conversations yet.

End of the book, I'm BaBaShook
