After a couple of days full of questions from police officers and pampering from my family, I finally step out of the house. I laugh when I see Spencer, Jacob, and Noah waiting outside Kyle's house with a bouquet of roses and a huge teddy bear. Kyle walks out of the front door and slaps his hand on his forehead, groaning. But before he can go back inside, Spencer yells, "Hey princess! Hope you're feeling better, we got you these flowers and this teddy bear as a get well soon present!
Kyle rolls his eyes and I run my eyes over him. He is wearing a loose pair of sweatpants and a football t-shirt, and he isn't limping anymore. He looks over to my house and sees me standing there and ditches Spencer, coming over to me instead. "Hey! bros before hoes man!" Spencer yells and Kyle just rolls his eyes and smiles, swooping me into his arms and placing his lips on mine.
I hear wolf whistles coming from Jacob, Spencer, and Noah and smile into the kiss. "Yuck! Get a room you two!" I hear a female voice and let go of Kyle, looking behind me. I see Carmella and Sophia and I run over to them, giving them both hugs. Carmella smirks and hands me a small gift, and I roll my eyes, thinking about how alike her and Spencer are. "We are so freaking glad that you're okay and that that douchebag didn't do anything to you."
"Yeah we would have killed him if anything had happened to you both, I hope you know that." Spencer says from next to me and I laugh, rolling my eyes. "Shut up, you know you would've cried like a baby if it was you instead of her and Kyle." I hear Carmella laugh and we all chuckle while Spencer frowns, flipping her off. "Come inside everyone, I heard my mom made cookies." I say between Carmella and Spencer, who are arguing now, glaring at each other.
Everyone laughs and follows me inside, leaving Carmella and Spencer outside to finish their argument. Face it, we all know it's probably going to end up in a make-out session anyways.
My mom greets us at the door, a plate of cookies in her hand, and I see Kyle's mom inside the house too. I smile, feeling grateful for the support that Kyle's mom has given our family these past few days and blush when I remember how she refers to me as her daughter in-law now.
Jack's funeral is in a few days, and it pains me to remember how Kyle and I will be two of the few people that will be present. It still makes my heart ache to think about Jack and how he gave his life for mine, and I know that Kyle and I will forever be grateful towards him. I see Kyle now, cookie in hand and a huge grin on his face and I feel complete.
I know that, even though so much had happened in my life, maybe I didn't need all of the shit from my past breaking me down and shaping the rest of it. Kyle would be there to help me, and all of the crazy fucking baboons I had as friends would be there to bring sunshine to any rainy day.
"What are you doing over there in the corner you idiot?" Carmella laughs when she sees how I am looking at all of their faces with a smile on my face. Tears spring to my eyes and I roll them, laughing at how dramatic I am being. "I love you guys, you know that?" I laugh through the tears and they all laugh with me, most of them rolling their eyes at my cheesiness.
Carmella comes over to me, almost pushing me over with a huge hug and the rest of them follow her and we're all eventually gathered in a huge group hug. We're all laughing as I realize that this is where I want to be. I want to freeze this moment for forever, enveloped in all of their arms, with a huge grin on my face.
It doesn't matter to me that half of my life has been wasted, I know now that I am going to make the most out of the rest of it, and I'm going to spend it with the people who mean the most, the people who I love.
