HIBERNATE

Epilouge

  Silence it's a killer. Leaves you wondering and thinking, gives you options that could either make or break you. All the questions left unanswered, the what ifs and what not all come rushing in in the wake of silence. This life we live is a hard one, we think we're in control until it decides it's time I take the front seat.

  Tyler was arrested for murder four weeks ago. Word is, he got into a fight with this guy at the boxing site and ended up killing him. It was accidental but still murder. Tyler doesn't remember much, said he was going at it with the guy when they both hit the ground. According to him, the dude was still breathing when he passed out but when the cops showed up after receiving an anonymous call they found the guy dead.

  Now he's being held and is awaiting trial. Tyler has decided to plead guilty to the crime and although I don't believe he did it, he says there's no other explanation. He believes he killed that man and now he has to pay for his crime. Tyler Monroe wasn't supposed to end up in jail, he was going to make his way up the boxing career and become a professional. That was the plan but life fucked that up when it took the front seat.

  Michael Monroe is now without a brother, his twin and partner. He got a job outside of town and is moving away with his fiancée Juliana. She said yes when he proposed so they're getting married sometime in the near future.

  Mama and dad decided that they can't be together anymore so they getting a divorce. Well at least that's what they've been saying but they haven't actually done the deed yet. Sometimes I wonder if those two even know what they want. But I guess all we can do is wait and see what card life hands them. I still don't know what their story is and I don't know if anyone will ever tell me but for now we're just gonna leave things as they are.

  Miranda Styles got into Stanford University, no surprise there. She's already getting her life on track and is living it to the fullest happily. We talk whenever we can and I'm happy to see that she's also happy.

  Selena Mendes also got into a school of her choice. Ever since that day we haven't spoken to one another and now that she's gone I don't think we ever will. But who knows we might see each other in the near future and I hope that when we do we can become the friends we once were.

  Papa Banes finally decided to retire from the company. He now lives off his pension and built his own little community house for the kids on the street. He's happy with what he's got and says that he's only waiting for the time to come so he can go join his wife.

  Kayden Jamal got into a community college and is now studying business or something like that. He already has his own little restaurant that he started a couple months back. I'm betting that after a couple of years we're going to be seeing his restaurants all over the damn country. That boy is gonna make it big someday. Kayden and I are still friends, it's awkward at times but I know that we'll make it through and still survive.

  Belinda Vidal is now a world known model, no surprise there. As for her two minions, well lord knows what hole they ended up crawling into.

Sarah Monroe decided to keep her baby after all. It's hard but she has decided to live with the consequences of her actions. Her relationship with Austin is still shaky and I honestly don't know how long those two have together but hey what do I know? The kids are alright, they've still got the filthiest mouths I've ever come across but I still love them.

  As for me, well what can I say? The day at court after Tyler was sentenced, I went home feeling like my world had just been turned inside out. I was lost and confused and I was angry at the world. But like they say when one door shuts in life another opens. When I got home, my opened door was right there in the form of a brown envelope waiting to be opened by me.

  Walking into the house with the still closed folder, I stared really hard at it. All this time I thought that once this day arrived, I thought that I'd finally be able to say that I'd done it. No more silent screams, no more pain and suffering, no more wishing for things that would go unanswered.

  But I was wrong, so wrong. This was only the beginning, this is where the whole game starts and as I opened that folder and reached for my future, I realized that this, here and now is actually the time I start to hibernate.

THE END!
