♡ Epilogue ♡
A loud creak came out of the huge gate as it opened wide in front of me. The wind was so strong, brushing against my whole body. I shivered when the cold breeze hit me, making the corners of my mouth twist up a little bit.
It felt great to feel the wind through my hair as I walked. Even though the place should’ve been gloomy, yet it was so bright in here, and the smell of fresh flowers filled my nose. I walked slowly, viewing all the people that were sitting near their loved ones.
I tightened my grip on the white flowers, wondering what should I say when I reach there.
It had been such a long time since I’ve been here. I was happy to be here again. I felt a lot lighter as if the world didn’t matter anymore. My mind was free of everything.
Even with my slow, baby steps, I reached there. The gravestone was a little far away from the others. It was located right under a tree, blocking it from any sunlight.
I walked toward it, and stared at it for a minute. I took a deep breath, and put down the flowers in my hand.
“How are you mom?” I wasn’t really expecting an answer or anything. I just wanted to talk. I sat near it, looking at the sky above us. It looked so blue, so bright, and so warm. As if it was wrapped around the sun. “A lot had happened lately.” I hugged my knees, and closed my eyes.
“My dad is happy with Sandy. And she – Sandy – is alright. I know you might like frown now or something because you’re probably feel a little weird about her, but I know that you are relieved that everything is fine.” I chuckled. “I visited them last week. They looked so bright.”
It was true. They did look like the perfect happy family. My dad hugged me really tightly, telling me how much he loved me. He had this big smile that could control the world. Sandy on the other hand just smiled at me from a far, welcoming me. She probably knew that I wouldn’t like her hugging me or touching me, but even though I still smiled back at her, surprising her.
“I’m not saying that I forgave everyone, but when I was there – in my aunt’s house – I felt like everything could change. Like if I accepted everything, then I wouldn’t have to worry about anything. And I did that. Whenever my aunt screamed at me, I would listen to what she is saying – which probably almost caused her a heart attack – I mean like seriously I was like a puppy for a long time”
“Speaking of puppies, I met Adam again too,” I said, but then stopped, frowning. “You would think that we would run to each other’s arms and hug the hell out of each other, but seriously mom, you didn’t see how we fought.” I rolled my eyes annoyed. “He is still as annoying as ever.”
For some reason, I imagined my mom laughing loudly at me. “It’s a no laughing matter.” I may seem crazy to any pass by, but it felt good. “Oh, Anna got married too. To her neighbor. They looked so good together, like a couple you would see in a magazine. But honestly, I never thought she would marry this early.” It was unbelievable, even to me. “The others are fine. I guess, everyone is dating someone, even Isaac, well, except for the triplets. They are as lonely as ever.”
I didn’t say anything else after that, I just enjoyed sitting there. I talked about everything I could think of.
But I didn’t talk about me.
I sighed. “You know what everyone says when they see me now? ‘Blond hair!’ yup! Red hair is long gone. Also, I tried controlling my anger, I mean I still broke a lot of plates and things but instead of breaking ten plates every two days, I broke like… three a week.” I touched the stone, lightly. “I miss you so much mom. Everyone do.” With that I stayed for like another hour before I stood up and left the place.
I felt really happy when I left, but my smile and happiness vanished the moment I saw Adam standing near the gates.
I rolled my eyes and walked past him. He stopped me by my hand. I glared at him. “Okay, okay. I know, I made a huge mistake, I shouldn’t have scared your dog, but you know how much I hate dogs!” I raised my eyebrow.
“And you know how much I hate cats, and you still bring yours!” I glared at the stupid cat that was walking beside him.
Gosh how much I hate it.
He sighed and ran his other hand through his hair. “I’m really sorry.” His eyes were sincerely sorry, and for a second I didn’t found a reason to why I should be really mad at him.
We fought like kids.
I looked away. “I’m sorry too.” He smiled.
“Good.” A smile brightened his face. “My mom wants to see you-“
I shook my head with widened eyes. “Hell no! I’m not going to see your mom!” He raised his eyebrow.
“Why?”
“Are you serious? Last time she talked endlessly about ‘our future babies’. She looked like she was going to go straight to the store and buy their stuff.”
“Do you hate babies?” He blinked a few times as if he didn’t understand my point.
“Kind of but that’s not the point. She scared me for life. I guess she ships us way too much.” We started walking.
“It’s not like we wouldn’t have babies at all.” He murmured with a scowl. But I acted as if I didn’t hear him.
“Did you say something?” He shook his head with a fake smile. While we were walking silently, his cat jumped on me, and bit my finger before running away. “Ouch!” I looked down my finger with a pained expression. What the hell?
After staring at my finger for a while, I knew why it did that. “The ring.”
“Are you alright?” He looked at worriedly. I snapped my head at him.
“It took my freakin’ ring!” Horror covered his face as he looked back to where his cat ran. It stopped a little far from us.
“Jodie. Wait!” He ran after it. I frowned.
“What?” He stopped, and gulped.
“What, What?” He looked at me innocently.
“You just called my name.” He looked away, making me narrow my eyes.
“What are you talking about?” He laughed weirdly, and cleared his throat. He was seriously the worst liar ever.
Did he just call his cat my name?
“Ada-“He suddenly ran away, following the cat. I blinked a few times trying to understand what just happened.
He named his cat after me!
That damn ugly cat!
I bit my lip really hard and followed him.
I was going to kill him.

Next Chapt- bleeeh jk ♥
This is the end, huh? xD
I hope you have liked this story, and enjoyed it as much as i did with writing it. I feel like i've been living with Adam and Jodie for like one year, and then i moved out. :/
But I'm happy that I was able to finish this story, It feels like I actually accomplished something
Anyway, I've been wanting to tell you about my new story. It will be called Memory Phone It's a Romance/Action kind of story.
Here is the summary [I'm gonna change it later.]
Memories, memories, memories, memories.
Close your eyes and imagine how much memories your brain can hold. It can hold an uncountable number of memories that you might not be aware of.
But from time to time, memories can be lost, and distort in any way, and that, wasn’t what she wanted or how she was taught. She was taught that memories are, indeed, a treasure.
So what did she do?
She kept them in her phone.
But even a simple treasure as that, can be a deadly weapon.
I know the summary is pretty bad, but I had no idea what to write, because i didn't want to show you a lot ♥ [ the cover on the side ]
Thank you so much for everything ♥
[psst Jodie and Adam are waving]
Vote . Comment . Enjoy
