Epilogue
I haven't left my bed all week.
I stay miserable and sad all the time so no one at home tries to talk to me.
It's been a week since Austin and I broke up, I'd think in this duration I'd have gotten over him but pain still sears through my chest. I guess this is how heartbreak feels like.
I feel so stupid, how could I believe that we could still be together even when he's left high school. After all the things he'd done to us I still thought that we could be together. Why didn't I listen to Maggie.
"Honey, it's time to get up, you don't want to be late for school." Mom says from the door. If only she knew what was really going on.
"Honey, are you up?" She carefully sits on the bed, trying to not startle me.
"Yeah, I'm up mom." I whisper.
"I don't think I've ever see you up this early in the morning." I shrug my shoulders, not really in the mood of talking.
"Honey, are you okay? If there is anything wrong you can tell me and I'll help you. Me and your dad. Tell me, honey, what's wrong."
"Nothing. There is nothing wrong." I sit against the pillows. "I'm gonna go get ready for school." I walk to the bathroom and start my morning routine.
I never did enjoy relaying on other people, needing them in my life or to talk to them. Over the years I've taught myself to relay on no one but myself.
And Austin has definitely taught me to never ever let my guard down.

Hours later I'm in the kitchen making dinner. School was quite tiring and draining, everyone still keeps on asking about Austin and I can't take it anymore. Where's Austin. Do you know which school he's attending. Are you guys still dating.
So I'm fed up with it all so it's nice to come back home and take breath, relax and get my head back together.
I set the plates on the table so everyone could start dishing up.
"You both know the drill so start dishing the feeds." My dad says.
I grimace. "Uh, dad, don't ever say that. Ever again."
"What? Isn't it working? Isn't what you young people say now-a-days?"
"Uhm no we don't and don't say young people, just say youth."
We both retell our days to them, dad cracking a joke here and there and mom making fun of dad and Mikey.
I laugh, for the first time I feel a little bit of relief within me, that everything will be okay and that in time my heart will heal.
I look around the table, all the people I need are right here, the people who will never forsake me and will forever love me.
So I'm putting my focus on myself, enjoy my family and heal the broken parts within me.
I'm going to finish my senior year, graduate and get over school because Lord knows I'm tired of it and it's been long overdue.
I'm going to enjoy life.

That's it! That's the epilogue, probably not the way I wanted it to end but hey. I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
