Author's Note: I terribly sorry, for the long wait between updates. I haven't found the time to write lately, and it's quite depressing. I've had a bunch of story ideas running through my head lately, and I just want to get them down, but first I need to finish the two stories I have going, before I can start on anything new! Though, I have been playing with the idea lately of writing my own story. Maybe one day...
Though, I have some sad news. This is the last chapter, for this story. My heart isn't really in this anymore, and though this was one of my favourites when I begun, I don't want to ruin it, but carrying it out too long. I need to end this, and do my story some justice. I may come back, and do some outtakes or something, if anyone wants.
Anyways, here's the long awaited chapter! I'm sorry for such a long period of waiting, and hope you'll all forgive me.
Disclaimer: I do not own. Stephenie Meyer does.
"Marie! I can't believe that it's already here! It seems like just yesterday, you were the new girl, and I wanted to be friends with you! I can't believe this year flew by so fast." A mess of black hair said, as I cleaned out my locker.
I laughed. "It's only summer holiday, and then we're going to be back for senior year. Plus, you're dating my brother, so it's not like you're not going to see me this summer." I played along with Alice, because there were a bunch of people cleaning out their lockers, near mine.
She sighed. "I know, I know! But I can't believe that this year just, flew by. I can't wait for next year! It's going to be great, and the fact that Daniel won't be here, is even better." She winked at me, and I heard a couple of the kids near us, chuckle.
Daniel got into some trouble, towards the begining of June. He came to school drunk, and raped a girl under the bleachers. He thought that it was me, and went crazy. The girl pressed charges, and won. Now Daniel has to go to a military school somewhere in Texas.
"Yeah. He should have fun in Texas..." I said. I looked at my locker, making sure that I had everything, before shutting it and turning towards Alice. "Ready to start our amazing summer?"
"Heck yes!" Alice started to skip towards the door. I laughed, and followed behind her at a much slower pace. People kept stopping me in the hallway, asking me to sign their yearbook. I smiled, wrote something quick and cute like,
'I had fun getting to know you this year!
you rock, so don't change!
see you next year,
senior year!
Marie.
xoxo'
They were all basically along the same lines. Everyone thought it was great, smiled and then turn to someone else, getting them to sign it as well.
I finally reached the doors, pushed them open and stepped outside. I noticed my family across the parking lot, near the cars. I started to head towards them.
"Marie!" Someone behind me shouted. I turned around, and noticed that it was Daniel.
He had cut his hair, to just about his scalp. He was wearing what I guessed would be his military uniform. He jogged quickly to me.
"Yes?" I asked him, not wanting to cause anymore trouble than we already had. Well, he, more than we.
He looked down once he reached me. "Look, I just want to apologize for what I've done this year." He looked up, and I noticed that he was sober.
"Apologize? I don't think it's me that you need to apologize too Daniel." I remarked.
He flinched. "I already apologized to Amanda..." he trailed off. "I'm taking therapy lessons, and I've been clean for three weeks now." He smiled a small smile.
"That's great, but that has nothing to do with me Daniel." I said, turning around to head back towards my family.
"Marie, I want to apologize for the way I've been treating you since you arrived. I treated you like a piece of meat, and you don't deserve that! I was acting like a douche, and for that, I'm sorry." He said.
By the time I had turned back around to see him, he was no were in sight.
I started walking back towards my family, noticing all the odd looks on their face.
I shrugged. "Daniel apologized to me..."
"Good. He should have! I think my knuckles were permantely blue from December to March." Emmett said. "Though, they did make for some good war stories." He winked.
Alice had used blue ink to make his, Jasper's and sometimes, Edward's knuckles blue. Around March, Daniel started to stop his weekly attack, but it showed he was planning something big, though he did it too the wrong person. Esme and Carlisle got a kick out of what was happening, and never tried to stop us once the whole year. They even said that we can come back next year, and act as our counterparts, again.
"Can you believe that this year is over?" Rose asked, pretending to wipe a tear away.
We all said no, shacking our heads, or in Emmett's case, actually shouting 'NO!' which frightened a couple of near by freshman.
"Well, we always have next year to look forward too! And, this amazing summer ahead of us!" I said, trying to lighten the mood.
Everyone nooded. "Yeah, let's look forward to the future! Not dwell on the past!" Alice said, hopping into the car. "Now, let's get this party on the road! Let's go shopping!"
Author's Note: You could probably tell that my heart isn't in this story anymore. And for that, I'm truely, sorry. I just can't really come up with anything else. I may come back to this, and add some things, or if someone asks me, I may write other point of fews, or something on the side, that goes along with this story. Messgae me if you want anything like that.
Now, for that last time ever for this story right now,
Review!
