Gang Leader's Kid (#1) ✔

Epilogue

Standing in front of her grave brought tears to my eyes again but I refused for them to fall out of my eyes because I had mourned enough already of my loss but just seeing her grave bought so many memories and on this day, she was supposed to be here. None the less, I lay down the flowers on her headstone, her favourite flowers which really weren't a favourite flower; they were a mixture of flowers.

'You could never choose which one was your favourite, so I decided to bring a bunch and a white one in the middle.' I chuckled while looking down at her grave which didn't say much apart from "Loving daughter, friend and sister." then her birth date to her death date, her real death date.

'Today is the day, Leah. You were supposed to be here, be there at the end smiling at me and keeping me from running away but I guess that you'll just be willing me on in ghost form right?' I let out a shaky breath and looked up at the sky. 'I never wanted something like this to happen, believe me and I am so sorry that...that I couldn't even be at your fucking funeral. No one knows how you died, Tristan threatened the guy obviously so everyone thinks that your death was an accident.

'Your family just...I heard that so many of them cried and I know that it's what is supposed to happen at funerals but the fact that they didn't know how you actually died, it hurt me so badly and I just couldn't go there and face them. I couldn't say goodbye to you like that and you're probably hating me right now, no matter what you said but I just miss you so damn much.

'You being alive is so much better than death, no matter what you say.' Looking over at the church, I realise that Miles is waiting for me but that could wait. 'I have to go in a minute but I just wanted to say that you will forever be in my heart Leah, I promise you that. I love you, always.' Smiling at the headstone, I blinked away the tears before walking over to where Miles was.

Tristan and I were in love and it did take us a lot to realise it but when we finally did realise our feelings for each other, we realised that there was nothing that could get in between us. No women, no liars, no deaths (I think) and no problems because we already have what we want and this is just the cherry to the top of the cake, even though I don't like cherries but it's a saying so.

With so much happening, I'm happy that another life wasn't lost. Aimee had had her baby and even though she was really young and in the circumstances that made her go into labour early, she stull made it through and saw her little baby girl and got to carry her in her arms. They didn't want to name the kid after anyone they knew so they (Max and Aimee) named their little girl, Teagan. Max did eventually get out of his shock and to be honest, it was nice to meet the kid.

Once I was near Miles, he held his arm out and asked, 'You ready, little sister?' I breathed in and out, smiling at Miles then nodding. I rearranged my dress and smiled at Miles again before he nodded to the guy who was waiting to open the heavy doors. I breathed in and out once again before tightly hooking my arm with Miles'.

Now walking down the aisle, I look to see some of the people I have become friends with stand up and smile at me as Miles and I had our arms hooked as he walked me down, being careful not to tread on my dress like I had asked him to and luckily, he followed as I said. I saw mom smiling at me while tears were in her eyes but she didn't let that get in the way of her clapping as I walked passed her. I even passed by Kieron, who said that he wanted to come to my wedding to forget any bad pasts between us and him and Tristan too. It was the least I could do.

Kieron still couldn't get over his sister's death and he still didn't understand why she went to great lengths to get what she wanted but he kept a smile on his face even after her death. It pained to his see his face because I couldn't lose Miles and if I did, I couldn't handle it but the thing was, Kieron was stronger and someday, I hope that he found the woman or man he loved and confined in her. Passing by him, he smiled broadly at me and gave me a sly wink that the man I was about to marry didn't catch.

These past couple of days have been hectic, especially with two babies and the news of Blake and Layla dating as well as the bachelor and bachelorette party which was crazy but everything went to plan, just like I hoped and wished and now I was getting married to the guy I was going to spend the rest of my life with. That seemed so damn scary but with the crap I've been through, I was ready to go through those things with Tristan by my side.

'As you stand together in front of friends and family, I now ask Tristan. Do you take Kihanna Jones to be your wife?' He looked at me and was silent for a minute but his answer didn't worry me because the next couple of words that came out of his mouth made me want to melt in glory and I did, Tristan never failed to disappoint and I didn't expect a gang leader to.

'I do.'
