“Oh my god, definitely not. She would have killed him.”
“Yeah so you’re welcome, two times.” I chuckle and lean back so that Sawyer can lower his head to press his lips against mine.
Beside me, Kalen is protesting that itwasa good idea and I shake my head at him. He hasn’t changed one bit. Or maybe he has. When I first came here there would have been no talking him out of any hairbrained scheme he set his sights on. Then again, I also did some questionable shit. Seducing my teacher – more than once, sleeping with my stepbrothers, trying to get my mother stoned, pretending to date Baxter…I could go on.
Three years ago, when Laura walked into that courtroom, I never could have imagined that this is how my life would have ended up. In a very small way it’s because of her that I have four amazing men in my life that love me as much as I love them. That I have the most amazing friends and a place that I feel at home. The sequence of events that lead us here also brought so many people into my life: Bex, Camilla and Debbie. And to top it off, everyone is happy. What more could I ask for?
It took me a long time to let go of the guilt from taking her life, even after everything that she had done to me. I lived in a place of self-hatred for so long because of her, and in the end I had to learn to accept that without her, none of this would have been possible. That she unknowingly gave me the best gift, in exchange for her life, gave me mine back. And looking at everyone here today, how can I feel guilty for that?
So all that I have left to say is…fuck her.
The End.
