My Father's a Homo

Epilogue

A/N This is the end, kids. Hope it's been a fun ride. I'm pain.

I walked out of school on Father's Day and looked around for the familiar beat-up silver car. I spotted it straight away, and waved to Mendel. It had been a tough five years.

"You ready to go, kid?" Mendel asked, watching me carefully as I sat down, pulling the door closed behind me.

"Yeah," I replied, with a small smile on my face. "I can't wait to see them!"

I grabbed my bag before I could forget, pulling out a card and handing it to him.

"Happy Father's Day, by the way!" I smiled.

"Thanks, Jason!" Mendel exclaimed, hugging me before he started the car.

When we arrived, Mendel didn't get out of the car right away.

"You go on, kiddo, I'll be in in a few," he said with a sad smile.

I smiled back, and opened the door, stepping out. I quickly got to the spot I had been looking for. I mean, I've been to their graves a million times at this point.

I placed cards on both Whizzer's and Dad's graves, smiling. I pulled out the photos that I had found the night before, and placed them in the memento box in between their graves. Before I closed it, I lifted the one on top. It was the photo Dad had taken all those years ago of Whizzer and I asleep on each other. I smiled sadly, before placing it back in and closing the box.

I pulled the final thing that was left in my bag out. A bunch of flowers. I walked for a few feet, before placing them on Mom's grave.

And then I sat down, and began to talk. Some might think it macabre, but it's nice to just sit and talk to my family again. I told them about my day at school, about that one teacher and how I swear she was out to get me, and about the date Heather and I had planned for that evening.

I wasn't even that sad or angry anymore. I was just happy for the time that I had had with my Mom and two of my Dads. It still stung, sure, but things were better now.

Like the inscription that each of their gravestones bare says: Everything will be alright.

A/N Sorry about the whole killing Marvin and Trina thing (even though Marvin would have died, and most of us have heard the hc about Trina committing suicide). It's been something.
