The Fantastic Five: Carson, Milo, Shawn, Jace, and Abby

Series Finale

 Abby:

One year and a couple months after Milo's (almost) death, we're back in California still trying to forget it ever happened. Milo told his mom that he fell down the stairs and that's why he got so hurt. We promised each other that we'd never speak of that day ever again. Since then, Milo and I have been pretty close. But that's going to have to end soon. It's August 2020 and the series finale of The Waynehood Diaries premieres next week. I'm in my room packing up all of my stuff when Milo walks in. "Hey" he says as he walks in. "Hey Milo." I say back. He has that look on his face that says "Guess what I got??". "What do you have?" I ask. "How do you know I have something?" Milo asks. "Because you have the 'guess what I have??' look on your face" I explain. He quickly loses the smile and nervously clears his throat. "Well, I do have something." He admits. "Follow me." He adds. We both walk outside to the backyard.

In the backyard, there is a sign on the patio that says "Memory Lane". I look and see a gallery walk filled with pictures of me with awards, movie and TV show posters and pictures we've all taken together in the last 2 years. I was expecting to be here for another 2 years. It passed by so quickly. But I got what I wanted. I'm famous, I made my dream a reality and befriended the greatest guys I've ever met...next to the ones I met at Frontline...maybe it's equal. Either way, I'm amazed. The night sky is clear and you can see all of the stars. The whole backyard is lit up with white Christmas lights and all of the pictures are up on stands as of they were paintings in a museum. "Shall we take a walk down memory lane?" Milo asks as he holds his hand for me to take. I smile and take his hand. We start walking by and looking at all of the pictures. I'm amazed by each one. "Did Carson, Shawn and Jace help you?" I ask Milo. "Nope." Milo says. "They've been gone all day. This was all me." I turn and face him. He did this on his own? I'm shocked. And touched. Milo literally makes it impossible to hate him. Then he starts singing to me. He sings the Someday ballad version to me from Zombies. I felt obligated to join him, given as how it was a duet. We're singing to each other while walking through the gallery. Once we're finished with the song, we look each other dead in the eyes. He blushes and I do too, but we're still staring at each other. Then...at that moment...Milo puts his hand to my face and lightly kisses me. I kiss him back. Afterwards, we look each other in the eyes again. "Milo..." I say. His smile fades away. "What? Did I do something wrong?" He asks. "No..." I laugh. "You basically just said everything I've been needing to say." I say to him. He smiles. "What was it you've been meaning to say?" Milo asks. I smile back. "That I think I'm in love with you. It just...took me a really long time to realize it." I say. He laughs. "I've been needing to say the exact same thing." Milo adds.

Milo, Jace, Carson, Shawn and I are are cuddled up on the couch waiting for The Waynehood Diaries to come on. "Is this gonna be a good finale?" Jace asks. "Screw you too Jace." I say. "No, I meant like...most series finales are really bad. Is this one gonna be bad?" He says to clean it up. "I guess" Milo says. Then on the TV screen, I pop up. "Hi, I'm Abby Winters from The Waynehood Diaries, and you're watching Disney Channel." I'm gonna miss that. The show comes on. We all snuggle to watch the ending of what Hollywood calls "The Fantastic Five" unfold.

The end sentence makes me tear up. It's when Connor says "I'm Connor Waynehood" and Isabella says "And I'm Isabella Waynehood" and we both say "And this is The Waynehood Diaries." Isabella then says "And I think this is the part where I say...sincerely, yours truly." Everyone smiles and the show ends. I start crying and Milo hugs me. "What's wrong?" Carson asks. "Now I have to leave." I say in between tears. That's when the guys join me in my cry fest. We're all sitting on the couch in tears because we all know that in a week, I'll walk out of the door and say goodbye to Hollywood and the Fantastic Five forever.
