My Other Half...

Chapter 65: The End of the Beginning

  ☻A/N: Hey, guys, so, unfortunately, this is the end of this story! It has 65 chapters which are a lot of content!!! But don't worry, I am making a sequel to this story, called, "Forever Mine"! It's like a v2 (Volume 2) to this book/story! I really hope you enjoyed this story! I know I did! This is like the end of an era for me and my writing! This was my first ever Wattpad story/fanfic and I am so proud of it and thankful for all of you readers for supporting me! I think this is a good place to end it off...Tessa and Finn will be carrying out the next generation in "Forever Mine", and I really hope you enjoy that story as much as you've enjoyed this one! Also, side note, Taylor, Zac and the rest of the kids will still make occasional appearances in the sequel! I couldn't just discard them! They're the OG characters in my fanfic! Along with that, I will be creating more Zaylor fanfics, don't worry! I already have some drafted and they will be published, hopefully, very soon. So, stay tuned for that... That being said, so long, "My Other Half", it's been a good time. Sincerely, Bluemoon♡☻ (Now time for the last chapter...)

I sat on the couch and just thought about everything that my life has come to. I've been through so much and yet I'm still standing today and stronger than ever. My life has carved itself out and has become better. It has become, in my opinion, perfect. Although many people say that there's no such thing as perfect, I feel like everyone has their own definition of that word. I know I do. I live with my amazing husband and my two beautiful children. My life is just how I want it to be right now. I couldn't ask for anything better, at least not right now. I remember always thinking in my early years that nothing was going to change for the better. From being bullied, sexually assaulted, kidnapped, and almost killed, my life seemed like there was going to be no end to the sadness and hurt I was feeling. At one point, I tried to escape it, but thankfully my parents were there to save me and I'm so grateful and lucky that I have them in my life. They mean a lot to me and I love them so much. I honestly couldn't imagine a life without them in it. Just as true for all my siblings. I am the oldest which means they look up to me. They trust me and I'm a role model for them. I haven't really been the best role model ever but I'm always there for them and they know that. They're also lucky to have me. Just as I am lucky to have them.

My thoughts were interrupted when River came down.

"Mommy, are we going to the park today?" He asked me with big innocent eyes.

"Yeah, of course, where's Luna?" I asked him as he played with the holes in my jeans.

"She's upstairs, she wanted you to come to see something, that's why I came down," he explained.

"Okay, should I go now?" I asked him.

"Yes, but I wanna come with," he said sternly.

"Okay, you can come, let's go," I said taking him by the hand as we headed up the stairs.

"Mommy? Is that you?" Luna called out to me.

"Yes, it is! May I come in?" I asked her from outside the door.

"Yes!" She said.

When I came in she was smiling at me.

"Look, mommy, I did a braid all by myself!" She said turning around to show me her ponytail braid.

"Wow! That looks great! Good job!" I said as I smiled at her.

"Thank you!" She said proudly.

"You're welcome!" I said.

"Can I put one in your hair?" She asked me excitedly.

"Yes, of course, you can!" I said kneeling down by her so she could reach my head.
