Once Derek was discharged from the hospital, we spent the night in the new house even though we weren't suppose to be there until tomorrow to move everything in. Since Derek will be resting and taking it easy, I hired movers to do all of the heavy lifting and of course, the family decided to volunteer too which was a good thing. We sat on the sofa wearing robes after having sex, sitting next to each other as he held me.

"I can't believe this is really happening. It feels, unreal."

"Yeah. It does, I'm so sad you're leaving."

"You know you can move in with me right, I got this place for us, all of us."

"I know, I just thought maybe you needed some time to adjust to everything before I decided to move in with you. So, everyone is meeting you in Calabasas tomorrow?"

"Yeah, it's a lot of stuff to move. I may donate Justin's things or maybe put them in storage for Issac, I don't know. He has a shitload of clothes. I'm thinking about giving away the furniture. Maybe keep it, and give the new set to Kathy, she's moving here to L.A. She was kinda hesitant about it because Justin got her that place but, I guess she wants a fresh start too. Anyways, I'm starving, are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I ordered Chinese don't worry."

"You're amazing. You know I give you credit for making this possible. I love the house. Thank you."

"No problem, at least you're close to my grandparents now. And, they will definitely be visiting you more often." He says, I begin to laugh.

"I love them, they can visit anytime they want. And I can help out more, you did teach me a few things. Plus the kids would love it out here. Maybe all of my decisions weren't as bad as I thought. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm gonna miss you."

"It's not the end of the world, of course I'm moving out but...you're always welcomed here. And when you're ready to move in, just let me know."

"I will." He says, I smiled and looked up at him, he kisses me passionately pulling away. The doorbell rang, I got up to go get our food. "I'm happy you and Kathy are back friends."

"Well if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be talking again. It was all just a misunderstanding. I do overthink things, maybe just a little." I said. "I'm thankful that you're here, it's been tough."

"I'm always here." He says kissing my forehead. I smiled and began eating. Today was a busy day for all of us..Derek wanted to come along and make sure everything was packed and ready to go and we weren't close to finishing. I sat down on the bed looking through the nightstand dresser finding a piece of paper, along with Justin's wallet. It was a letter..to me.

Adrian,
If you found this letter, that means I'm gone now. I know things haven't been easy for you or the rest of the family, and..trust me writing these letters to you individually isn't easy on me either. You're probably wanting answers and, I want to be able to answer them. I knew this was coming, I just didn't want to scare you or say anything to put you or the kids in jeopardy. It was either me..or you. I chose me. You have a good thing going with the foundation and this job that you have, helping the people that need to be helped. Trust me, I would've loved to help right along with you. I understand you're regretting every bad decision you've made in the past but..those decisions helped you in the long run. You're probably wondering why, and..I've honestly been wondering the same thing but...she came back for unfinished business. Even though you, Dan, and Kristie helped keep me safe and make sure I wasn't in any trouble, I wanted to do things my way. I don't expect you to understand or accept why I chose this stupid decision but..maybe it was for the best. I want to leave everything to you. I set up a private bank account for you to help with your foundation, or any personal reasons. There's enough for you to do whatever you've always wanted to do. I want you to know that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, along with Audrey and Issac. I want you to tell them how much I love them, and that this decision that I've made..was for me. It could've ended differently with a happy ending but, not every love story comes with that. You deserve more, you deserve better. I asked Derek to look after you, and I know he's going to do the job very well. I love you. - Justin.
I began taking deep breaths, starting to scream.
