Split Ends [M. SELMAN] - Complete

Nineteen - 2037

Anna's POV In the year 2037

"Maya! No running in the house!" I yelled to my youngest daughter.

"Mom, when's dad gonna be home?" my oldest daughter, Kinsley asked.

"Soon... he'll be home soon, sweetheart," I sighed, giving her a squeeze.

"Mom! Kinsley, Maya! Look what I made!" my son Barry said happily as he ran into the kitchen.

"What is it?" I asked in awe as he held up his latest invention.

"It's a new type of magnet... it can attract more than just it's opposite force. It can attract more than just medals, most solids... it's a work in progress... but... it works," he smiled.

"We're so proud of you," Kinsley said.

They're all growing up so fast... it's unbelievable.

You're all probably wondering... Where's Mario? He's the father right?

No... I'm sorry to tell you... he's not the father... Mario's... gone.

Mario is dead... and... he has been for 20 years.

The night that James helped Emilee and I separate... Emilee asked Mario to hold her hand during the separation. The electric shock killed Mario... it fried him. There was a funeral with Emilee and I both there in our own, separate, identical bodies. We each live our own lives and everyone that I know now just knows her as my sister.

Seth, Morgan, and Elizabeth are still in jail; Emilee and James got married and have two kids; Caitlyn and Jovani are also together; Remember Emma from the clothing store? She's with Julian; my brother and his friends are out there living the reality TV life; my friend Vivian, the girl who hacked Isla's phone for me, is my lawyer and she is also a hacker for the FBI; Isla, is actually a world famous superstar. She tours the world singing her music; and I... I moved on. I met a really nice guy named Robbie, who, was actually normal and didn't have any alternative motives. We met at a coffee shop in college and... we stuck. We have three kids, as you know. Kinsley, who's 15, Barry, who's 10, and Maya, who's 5.

Life is finally on track.... and I couldn't be happier. I have a job as a Marine Biologist, it pays well and our house if absolutely beautiful. I make sure everything stays perfect. Ever since I separated from Emilee, I've kind of been a clean freak. Our house is by the beach for my job, so we have a gorgeous view:

to be honest, I'm very jealous of our guest room:

and my kids rooms are so adorable!

Maya:

Barry:

Kinsley:

but nothing truly compares to the master bedroom:

it's definitely not something I ever saw myself liking, but it's mature, simple, and it has little special things to it that I absolutely adore. Like the framed picture of Mario and I that I keep on my bedside table. Robbie always asks where my childhood best friend is now, but I never get the nerve to say that he's gone out loud, but I've managed to live my life in honor of him, which is what I do end up telling him.

In conclusion, I've never been happier, and I'm very happy to say that my name is Anna Dallas and I had the pleasure of knowing Mario Selman before our ends split.

The End.
