....
Trust is hard.
Love is hard.
Forgiveness is hard.
Life is hard.
One day it was simple.
The next it wasn't.
But,
in the end,
we all burn one way or another.
All I can do is live.
All we can do is live.
But we all choose to do it in different ways.
Bronwyn loves Nate.
Nate loves Bronwyn.
Bronwyn forgave Nate.
Nate forgave himself.
I never forgave myself for what happened.
Bronwyn took a while to forgive me.
But I wasn't one of those girls who cries in the corner when someone hurts her feelings.
We all lived on.
Bronwyn and Nate moved to San Diego,
with Axel.
Cooper was going to stay,
for a couple years.
Addy moved to LA with my brother.
It's still hard for me.
They'd been together for over a year.
Wynn recovered.
My father stayed in jail.
My "mother" stayed with him in jail.
Lilah moved to New York to model with Victoria's Secret.
Everyone had their life all planned out.
Expect for me,
of course.
And what have I been doing?
I did what I was always meant to do.
Work.
I rebuild the club and started fresh.
I got the company back up and running,
and some new hotels.
But there was something I needed to do in order to forgive myself for everything.
I'd realized every that had happened in the last two years were because of me.
It all started with me.
So it would end with me.
And it did.
I left,
and I never saw anyone but my brother and Addy again.
I fell into a dark depression for a while.
I sat alone,
in a big,
empty house,
working myself to death.
Maybe I would feel complete one day.
But,
alas,
