It Wasn't Supposed To End This Way (A Starkid Fan Fiction)

Epilogue

Epilogue

Today is September 2nd. Over a year has gone by since Jeff went to the hospital, since Dylan and I finally became a couple, since the pot that is Starkid was stirred. Jeff's out of the hospital and back to his old self with a new girl on his arm, Clark has had a girlfriend since the beginning of July, and Dylan and I are happily engaged.

Yep, you read that right. Dylan proposed to me this morning. 

He told me he wanted to do it where we first met, that he had planned to do it for a long time. But with rehearsel's we've had no time to go. Instead, he just waited until everyone got to practice.

He'd gotten down on one knee, pulled the ring out of his back pocket and barely got the question out before I tackled him to kiss him. I of course said yes, I'd be stupid not to.

Nicki and Joey eloped almost a year ago, inviting their parents to Chicago for the wedding and all of us, as well as some of the Glee cast. It was basically a very small and private wedding, more than the two eloping. But Dylan and I watched Rose for a week while the two of them just traveled together. Nicki told me that all she wanted to do was spend time with Joey, and it didn't matter where she was doing it, as long as she was with Joey.

Walker and Lauren are still going strong as a couple, spending all the time they can with each other as they continue to live their lives, which I find great. 

Clark and I still talk to each other, still trying to put most of the past behind us and act like friends. Surprisingly, we've been able to keep it mostly casual. I think it helps he's got a new girlfriend, and I can tell you she's truly amazing. 

Maria and Pierce are still going together, and we've been trying to get Maria to come out, and we even managed to give her a role in the new show we're putting on. She's a great actress and has a killer vocal range. I envy her, but in a good way.

Denise told everyone about her cancers. She admitted it when we all spent New Years together around a bonfire at the park, where they let people rent a pit and stay as late as they want. It had been cold and snowy, but a great time. She told us everything that night, told us about the cancers, about cheating on Dylan since not everyone knew that story, told us anything we didn't already know. It was hard for her, but since Dylan has already forgiven her, and so have I, no one seemed too upset by it, and respected her for telling them the truth.

Rachael is an official member of Starkid now also. She's a great addition to the group and we love having her around to crack jokes with. I'm just happy she's found somewhere that makes her as happy, too.

But I think the best part about Starkid is that now, everyone's actually happy. Nicki is trying to get pregnant again, I've got a man I'm completely and deeply in love with, Starkid is no longer full of drama, there are no secrets, and best of all, we're all friends again.

In my first year with Starkid, I learned many lessons. I learned that love is always out there, and that if you truly believe in love, it'll be there for you always. I learned that friendship is powerful, and sometimes, it can save your life. I learned that Jeff was never actually out to hurt me, and now we're back to being friends again. I'm inviting him to our wedding after all.

I learned that Starkid, although mighty looking to all of it's fans, is really just a family of people who protect each other. That deep down, we care for each other more than we can express. In my first year with Starkid I was protected, I was helped, I was made, and I was loved.

Jeff taught me how to love, Clark showed me that I can be cared for, but Dylan is the one who holds my heart for the rest of my life. And it's all thanks to that Starbucks near my first apartment. Because of my choice to move to New York. Because I no longer get depressed and don't need those pills to get by every day. I don't need the help I used to, I just need the friends I have.

Well, I have to go. I have a show that I wrote that I have to star in. Nicki's the director and I don't need her to get mad at me.

Make sure you check back in to the Starkid Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr pages to see our new show "It Wasn't Supposed to End This Way". It's definitely something different for Starkid, but so far, I think it's going to be the one that people will be able to relate to the most.

For now, this is Alex Rose, signing off. Thanks for reading my story.
