Author's Note: Sadly, this is the final chapter for this fanfic. It was fun to write, and I'm surprised at all of the feedback it got. Thanks for reading, I'll see you guys at the bottom.

"You getting settled in okay, Kevin?" Eddward's adoptive mother asked as Kevin continued to unpack his things into his new room.

Kevin looked up at her and nodded, "Yeah, thanks for asking." He replied.

"This should be the last box." She gestured to a small box sitting in the hallway.

"Okay." Kevin nodded.

"Eddward's got lunch done when you're ready." She said, before taking off back downstairs to join her adoptive son in the kitchen. "Just come down when you're ready!" She called back up the stairs. The redhead only continued to make his bed, spreading the new sheets on it, laying out his pillows and blankets. This still all felt like too much of a dream. He couldn't believe everything that had happened this past month.

The police burst through the front door of the house, causing Kevin to flinch as he was locked in his dad's grip. The only thing that came to his mind at that moment was that Eddward's plan had worked. The cameras set up in the house actually fucking worked. And at that moment, he felt like crying, sobbing, in happiness, in relief, in celebrating that this was it, he was finally going to be free from this hell that had latched onto him throughout these dreadful years that he lived in this god awful house. This would be the best moment of his life.

Everything was blurry as he watched his father get carried off in handcuffs, yelling profanities at the redhead. His mother pulled in the driveway, frantically, demanding to know what the hell was going on. Kevin said nothing as he was escorted outside where Eddward and his mother were waiting for him with open arms, and he knew finally that he had a real family, a real home, and it was with Kevin all along.

Trials and court ensued after that, dragging on for the longest. Kevin's adoptive father pleading not guilty to everything even though they had hard evidence of what had occurred. Kevin even had bruises on him that day from the incidents, and he still claimed that nothing had happened. His adoptive mother was in tears, begging Kevin to stay with her, not to leave, but the resentment that Kevin had for her overpowered it all, and he left his family behind.

And now, he was living with Eddward and Eddward's mother. She was his legal guardian now, and he was more thankful for that than ever. She was so nice, so encouraging, so loving, and the best part was that he was here with Edd, his best friend. It seemed as though everything was going in his favor now. Of course, it would take some time to adjust to everything, he knew that, but all in all, he was just happy to finally be able to be happy. Kevin knew his life would turn around for the better now.

When he finished making his bed, the ginger decided to take a break and head downstairs to eat some lunch with his new family. "What'd you make?" He asked as he saw Eddward standing in the kitchen with his mother waiting for him at the table.

"PB and J with the crusts cut off." Eddward answered with a toothy grin.

Kevin smiled, "Sounds delicious."

"Hey Kevin?" Eddward asked, catching the other teen off guard with his tone of voice.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" Edd asked.

Kevin smiled, showing his pearly whites, "I'm never better."

Eddward nodded, "I'm glad everything worked out."

"Me too." Kevin agreed. "You're the best."

Author's Note: So what did you guys think of this fic? Believe it or not, a lot of hard work went into this. I'm glad that it's over now, because I have a lot of new stories I want to write. My next updates might be a little slow, because I start my first job in a couple of days, and I start college in august. Anyway, requests are welcomed in my inbox, and feel free to check out the rest of my fanfics. For some reason, this site won't let me post links on my profile anymore, so you can follow me on tumblr at heidipoo-xox. Until next time, stay fabulous.
