Hello everyone! This is it! The final chapter! It's been an amazing run. And i'm sad to see this series come to an end. Thank you all again for the support you've given this story and hope you enjoy the conclusion. :)

Zoey's Pov- "Everyone please give a round of applause for the graduating class of 2032!"

I tried to keep in my tears of happiness as everyone in the area clapped for us. Me, Blair, Brittany, and our whole class just received our diploma's. We were all lined up on a stage outside of the school courtyard. Everyone's families and loved ones were clapping for us.

I looked through the crowd and spotted my parents. Mom stood up taking a picture of us while ma whistled. I didn't even feel embarrassed. When were able to walk around again I looked for Blair. "Blair!" When she spotted me I ran up to her trying not to trip over my graduation gown and lifted her up as best I could and kissed her with every ounce of love I had.

When we pulled away she smiled and said. "Someone's happy."

I twirled her around making her laugh. "I'm hella happy!"

"What about me!?"

I set Blair down and we looked over to see Brittany. We both shared a laugh and opened our arms for her. "Get in here dummy!"

She practically launched herself almost knocking us over. We shared a tight group hug. "Finally! it feels like we've been in school forever!"

"Actually it felt like it went fast to me." Blair replied.

W pulled away and I turned to Brittany. "So what are you going to be doing now?"

"Well. I'm moving out asap. I'm going to school for business. I want to own my...Well own something." She answered. "Like a store or something like that. Maybe find a cute secretary."

I chuckled. "Well I wish you the best Brittany."

Blair nodded. "Same here. Good luck Keep in touch."

She gave us a smile and a thumbs up. "Definitely. See ya!"

She walked away and I held Blair's hand as we made our way down the stage. The first one to greet us was Jamie her mom and aunt Kate. "Hey you two!" Jamie pulled us both into a hug and we were more than happy enough to return it. "How does it feel to finally be free?" She asked as we pulled away.

"Amazing. But also a little scary." I answered.

Kate patted my shoulder. "We were all like that. It's normal."

"Are we still having the party at your house Miss. Chase?" Blair asked

Victoria nodded. "Yup! Kate cooked a wonderful feast for everyone. In fact we should probably get going and set everything up."

Jamie pouted. "Fine."

Me and Blair chuckled and gave her a kiss on each cheek. "We'll see you in a bit Jamie."

Blair nodded and gave her one more kiss. "Love you."

Jamie blushed a bit but smiled. "Love you too. I'll catch you both later. Again congratulations."

"Thank's." Me and Blair watched them disappear into the sea of people. When they were gone I turned to Blair and gave her a quick kiss. "I'm going to go find my parents and get that embarrassment over with."

Blair laughed and replied. "Same. See you at the party."

After that we both went our separate ways to find our parents. It took me about five minutes to find them through the crowd. "Mom! Ma!"

They both turned to me and waved. "Over here munchkin!" Ma yelled.

I ran up to them and almost tackled them both over with y hug. "Whoa Zoey! Easy we're not as young as we used to be." Mom teased.

I laughed and pulled away. "Sorry i'm just so excited!"

Ma held out her hand. "Let me see that bad boy." I handed her my diploma and she inspected it. "So that's what it look's like. Good job Zoey. I am so damn proud of you."

Mom pulled me into a tight hug. "We both are."

My face was red. "Mom! Your embarrassing me!"

I then felt tears hitting my shoulder. "I can only do it just a little while longer...My baby is all grown up."

Now I was trying not to cry. "Mom. Stop it." I whined.

Ma laughed and hugged me from behind. "It doesn't matter if your all grown up. You'll alway's be our little munchkin."

"Damn it ma now I am crying." I'll admit I am a little sad that i'll be leaving home. It's going to be so weird living for myself. I wish I could rewind time and relive my childhood. I had two of the most amazing parents in the world. And i can never repay them for everything they did.

2 Months later- Jamie's Pov- I sighed as I lazed around on the couch. I was feeling down. Both Blair and Zoey are packing up for college. They'll both be leaving by next week. Zoey is going to study for art. And Blair is going to study for psychology. She want's to be a psychiatrist and help people. I won't see them for a while. Not until Christmas break. Maybe Thanksgiving. "They haven't even left yet and I already miss them." I heard someone walk into the living room.

"Hey honey. Still moping I see." It was my mom.

"Mhmmm." Was my reply.

I could tell she was rolling her eyes. "Well me and Kate want to talk to you. Maybe it'll lift your spirits."

I groaned. "Ughh...Fine." I slowly got up and followed my mom to the dining room. I saw Kate sitting at the table already.

She smiled and waved at me. "Hey Jamie."

I smiled back and sat down across from her. "Hi Kate. So what's up?"

Mom stood behind Kate and placed her hands on her shoulders. "Well. Me and Kate have been talking and we wanted to get your opinion on something."

"Ok?"

Kate took a deep breath before saying. "If it's alright with you. Your mother invited me to move in. But I won't if your not ok with it."

I blinked a few times. Wondering if I heard right. "Really?"

Mom nodded. "Really. So what do you think?"

I didn't say anything. Instead I smiled, stood up and walked around the table and hugged Kate as she stood up. "I think it would be amazing!"

Kate hugged me back. "I'm so happy to hear that."

Mom hugged us both. "I love you...Both so much."

Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad. Blair and Zoey maybe gone but now i'll have an entire school year knowing what it's like living with two parents that love you.

I can't wait to have a family of my own.

Blair's Pov- "My RWBY volume collection. Check. My desk lamp. Check. My Book's. Check."

"Mew."

I stopped my packing and looked over to see my cat sitting by my foot. I chuckled and picked her up. She started purring. "Sorry. You can't come with me. Dorm's don't allow cats. I'll miss you. "I gave her a kiss on top of her head.

*Knock Knock*

"Blair?"

I set my cat on my bed ext to the box I was filling up. "Come in mama."

The door opened and my mama looked around my room with a sad smile on her face. "It's starting to get empty in here."

"Yeah..."

She walked behind me and pulled me into a hug. "I'm going to miss you kiddo. Me and your mother both."

I chocked down a sob. "Me too mama...I want to thank you for everything...For saving me."

She leaned down and kissed my cheek. "Don't need to thank us. We did it because we love you."

*DING DONG*

Our moment was ruined when we hear the doorbell. "Wonder who that could be." Ma said to herself. "I'll be right back." She left and I went back to packing my things.

A few minutes later though I heard my mom yell. "Blair! Can you come down sweetie!?"

I was a little nervous. The last time someone rang the bell and then mom called for me was when I was arrested. I took a deep breath and left my room. "What is it mom?" I asked as I made my way down the stairs. "Who was at the do..."

I stopped at the last step of the stairs when I saw a woman standing in the living room. The woman turned to me and gasped. "Wow...Iv'e seen the picture but...Wow you grew up to be...A very beautiful woman Blair."

I didn't respond. I was to much in shock. She looked completely different than the woman I remembered.

I saw my parents standing next to her. My mom saw my expression and said. "Honey? If you want her t leave...She will."

The woman smiled sadly. "I just...Wanted to see you. I'll go if you want me too."

I was feeling so many emotions right now. I should be angry. I wanted to say so many things to her. But just looking into her eyes I can tell the woman that hurt me in the past was gone. All I saw in her eyes were guilt, sadness, and hope.

The woman turned to my parents. "I think I should go...This was a mistake. I'm sorry."

I spoke without thinking. "No!" I ran towards her and she turned around just as I hugged her. "Don't go." I sobbed.

The woman. My birth mother Samantha hugged me back crying. "Oh Blair. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

I could hear it in her voice. She was truly sorry. "I..forgive you."

When we both calmed down we pulled away and she wiped the tears off her face. "I'm so happy seeing you again."

It was my turn to wipe away my tears. "Me too." I turned to my parents. "Can she stay for dinner?"

They both smiled and nodded. "If your ok with it." Mom said.

Samantha smiled. "Thank you." She turned to me. "Blair. Your little brother is in the car. Did you want to meet him?"

I blink a few times. "Brother?"

She chuckled. "Half brother. But yes you have a little brother."

I beamed. "I'd love to meet him."

Samantha almost jumped for joy. "I'll go get him. He's always wanted an older sibling."

When she left ma put an arm around me. "You ok squirt?"

I took a deep breath. The smile was glued to my face. "Never better."

"Zoey's Pov- "Mom! Can I take some of the towels with me!' I yelled from my room.

"Yes Zoey! That's fine!" Mom yelled from downstairs.

I looked around my half barren room. I was really going to miss this place. So many memories here. "Alright whats next?...Game system right!" I started humming to myself as I packed away my game system. "Alright let's see if there's anything in the closet I can bring with me." I went to my closet and slid it open and almost immediately a pile of my discarded items from over the years almost fell on top of me.

"Yeah...I take after ma a lot...Oh wowsers! There you are!" I picked up a very familiar item from the pile and hugged it to my chest. "I thought I lost you forever Sally!" It was the stuff dog my parents got me for Christmas when I was five. "You are definitely coming with me. My lightning plushy needs a friend." I carefully packed my old friend away with my other personal stuff and went back to the closet.

I got on my knees and and started pulling everything out that was on the floor. "Junk..Junk...Junk...Eww old bag of m&m's...Junk...Keep...Junk."

*CREEK*

I paused. I looked down to see the hand that was supporting me. I pushed my hand down again and it made the same creaking noise. "What do we have here?" I moved more stuff out of the way and tested the board. It was a little flimsy. I played around with it till I accidentally slid it upwards. "Oh my dog. A secret compartment?" I looked inside and saw a old dusty shoe box.

I picked it up and blew the dust off making me cough a bit. "How long has this been in there?" Curiosity struck me again. I crawled out from my closet and sat down on my bed. I lifted the lid and saw a stack of photo's and a book. I inspected the photo's first.

"Mom must have taken these." The first photo was a desk that had. 'Rachel Amber 4ever' etched in it. The next on was a bird perched on a rock. The one after was what looked like ma sitting on the lighthouse bench overlooking the sunset. If I didn't recognize the beanie I wouldn't have known who it was from the back of her head. The next one was a photo of someone's pet rabbit. Cute. Next one was a deer. I almost gasped at the next photo.

"Is that ma casually holding a gun in the air!?" I quickly went to the next photo. All of them seemed random. Like an Owl. Or squirrels. There was a bird's nest that was taken what looked like from out garage. But the last few had me...A bit jumpy. "Ok..What the fuck? A dead whale in the middle of the street? A car smashed through a roof?" It's the background that kind of scared me. It looked like the end of the world.

How the hell did mom take these?

When I was done with the photo's I set them down and picked up the little book. I wiped some of the dust off and on the cover it read.

Max's Diary

"Mom's diary huh?" I opened it up and skimmed through the first few pages. "Mom and ma really did have a falling out for a while..." I shook my head not wanting to think about it. They were together now. And happy. I flipped through a few more pages. "Jamie's mom really was a bitch back then."

I stopped on a page that dated. "October 7th 2013"

I spent a good couple hours reading every sentence. I couldn't even believe some of the things I was reading. I was beginning to wonder if mom had a mental disability back then. I put a hand over my mouth and almost cried. "This is some really dark fanfiction mom. Making yourself choose between the town and Ma?" I had enough. Just as I was about to close it a photo fell through the last page and landed on the floor. I leaned down and picked it up.

"A blue butterfly?"

"Zoey! No!"

Be fore I even looked up mom was already in the room and swiped the photo out from my hand. She quickly laid it upside down in the box and sighed in relief. "Phew."

"Mom?...What is all this?" I asked worryingly.

She looked at the box and saw the diary in my hand. She took a deep breath. "You read it all didn't you?"

I just nodded.

She took the diary from my hand and put everything back into the box. "I told her not to hide it in here." She mumbled under her breath. She then sat down next to me. "Zoey...There's...A lot of things you don't know about me. Thing's I never wanted you to find out about."

I could feel my heart pounding. "Mom...That was just a story you wrote...Right?"

She gave a sad smile and shook her head. "I think...It's time you know the truth."

It finally clicked to me. "In Paris...You already saw the car coming...Didn't you?"

She didn't respond. Instead she slid her hand on top of mine and held it. "It started on October 7th 2013. I was in my photography class. The teacher at the time was a man named Mark Jefferson."

*Knock Knock*

Me and mom both looked up to see ma standing at the doorway. "Hey...I overheard everything." She walked over and sat down on the other side of me. She reached out with her prosthetic hand and laid it ontop of my and mom's hand. "Max. Before you get into that. Zoey need's to know about Rachel first...What we went through...Something I haven't even told you."

Mom smiled and nodded in understanding. "Go ahead Che."

I looked over at ma as she took a deep breath. "Ok...I was sixteen. It all started when I went to a concert at an old mill. After saying hi to an old...Friend named Frank I bumped into two thugs who worked for a local drug dealer named Damon Merrick."

The tale both mom and Ma told me I found unbelievable. But deep down. I knew they were telling the truth. I cried so much at certain parts of their stories. They went through so much together. They literally fought death to be together. When they were finished I just hugged them.

What they told me didn't change my perspective of them. In fact I look up to them more now that I did before. They were my parents. And I am so blessed to be their daughter. And even after everything they went through they still came out on top in the end. I knew then that we would always be...

Together Forever

(A.n.) And there we have it. The end. I hope you all enjoyed those little tid bits that Zoey found. The optional photo's and Diary. Thank you all so much again. This has turned out to be my longest and most popular story and you guy's help make that possible.

The next project i'll be focusing on is the sequel to my Life is strange and RWBY cross over series. If your interested in that go take a peek.

I am not sure if i'll make another complete Life is strange story. If i am then not for a long while. I have so many other idea's that I want to put up. Hope to see you all in my future stories. Until then have good day :)
