Mae jerk up as she frantically look around. She was in the living room sleeping on the couch. The sun was shining through the screen door. All the events that happen that night was a blur to her. She could only think about the dream she had that night. It was imprinted into her head. Mae sat up on the couch, only wondering what happen to everyone.
Almost on cue, she heard talking as people approach the door. The door swung open to see her friends walk into the house. They were also accompanied by two more people. "Mae, you're finally awake!" PJ smiles. She was still a little stun but stood up to greet her friends. Mae was able to talk to everyone and give each a hug. She felt happy to have all of them near her and care for her. But she did notice that Nelson and Penelope were not with them.
Conor finally got the chance to hug Mae and that perk her to ask about everything that happen. "What happened after we all black out? Mae looks up as asked. "Oh, I forgot about that," Conor says as he lets her go. All of them gathered on the couch to help contribute to the story.
Everyone except, Mae, Penelope, and Nelson woke up after that force hit them. "God, that kinda hurt," Toby says. He looks over to see that Ashley is clutching onto the left side of her chest. Her eyes were squeezed shut as she tried to keep herself up with one arm. Toby quickly grabbed her and help her sit up. "What's happening?" He panicked. "My chest is burning, why does it hurt so much?" She says.
"No! Ashley!" Libby ran toward Ashley's side.
"Does it have to do with the escort thing?" Darrel asks.
"I would assume," Toby says as he looks down at her."I'm sorry to do this, but I need to take Ashley home," Toby explains to the group. "We understand, we can handle all of this ourselves," PJ told him. There wasn't too much work to be done. All they need to do is watch for more washed up sirens. Or an abandoned boat. Toby picked up Ashley and took her into his truck. Then they drove away, hoping that everything goes as plan.
"W...why isn't Mae waking up?" Conor asks as he looks down at her body. "It might have something to do with her being a siren and getting her memories back. The same thing is happening to Penelope and Nelson. Well, I hope thats what's happening," Allen explains.
"A body!" Libby tells as she points to the shore everyone's attention was redirected to the ocean. Libby was right, two bodies were washed up on the beach. One was a girl and the other was a boy. Darrel and PJ both ran towards the ocean to pull the two bodies out of the water. Then it was easier to tell that it was Callie and Micah. Both of them had passed out as they were being washed up on the beach.
No more sirens washed up on the beach even after thirty minutes of waiting. It was best to take them all to Penelope's house. Everyone would be safe there as things start to settle down. It was also better to leave now before the police get the chance to show up and interrogate them.
"Micah and Callie woke up a few hours earlier so we decided to go buy them clothes to wear," PJ finishes the story. Callie smiles she looks over at Micah. He was staring down at his fingers trying not to say much to them. Mae nods as she looks over at Callie. Everyone was gathered around Penelope's living room. They had to catch Mae, Penelope, and Nelson up on what went down yesterday.
"Look, I can't be here," Micah spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Callie turns to him.
"I'm the least deserving to be human, Fawn should be here," he tells him.
"Neptune has other plans for her and you. That's why everything ended like this," Callie explains.
Micah smiles then spoke, "You trust Neptune as much as I do.""We just have to accept what is happening in our lives," Mae says. Conor pats her on the shoulder as he look at his friends. Berwald and Eddie both smile at each other. Mae stuff her hand in her pocket then pulled out a letter. "A friend of mine wants me to give this to you," Mae hands the letter to Micah. He inspects it closely then gives a smile. That was the beginning of his happiness.
Everyone was content with everything that they have now. With their friends, family, lovers and even enemies. Despite all that has happened, everything couldn't be better. Mae and Conor learn to love again. Penelope became a believer. Nelson found the meaning of getting heartbroken. Ashley learns that you can still love them even if they don't have a good past. Toby learns that you can love your enemy. Darrel learns that moving on is painful. Libby now looks through a new view of opening up to people. Berwald and Eddie learns that fate can be a huge roller coaster. Clare learns that love is impossible to get. But, all of there stories don't end there.
We all move on to our second chapter of our lives but now all we see is the end.
Oh, wait!
Fawn isn't alone as a siren with Neptune in her heart, she has a new friend. A boy that she calls Daniel. Sirens are still out there in the world. No matter what, there is always going to be a broken heart to carry the cycle. These sirens may feel hopeless but hope is never gone. Story for them won't end so easily.
That's it.
Who did I forget?
Allen?
Allen, well, he learns that he will always be a feminine man. And that is the end of the story.
