Chapter Thirty-Two

Saying Goodbye

Billy had brought a uhaul truck to attack to the back of his car. The uhaul was filled with boxes of Jill's stuff including her clothes. All of Kate's dishes were placed in boxes and added into the uhaul truck. Her dining room set as well as the couches TV, sofas and other stuff were added into the truck. Sidney had made several sandwiches and put them in a cooler along with sodas, waters and juices cause they had a long drive ahead of them. Mr. Miller had sold the house and Kate's assets were added to Jill's account. It's now time to leave. The house is completely empty except for a few boxes that go to charity. Billy, Robbie, Dewey, William, Scott, Tommy, Gabe and Deputy Perkins are packing the van. The only things left are the luggages. Sidney, Gale, Jill are standing there.

"Well that's the last of it." Billy said pulling the down the gate to the truck and then locking it tight.

"I can't believe you're leaving so soon." Robbie said.

"Well, according to your parents, we won't be away from each other for long. Hurry ok." Jill said her arms around Robbie's neck.

"Ok." Robbie said as they kissed.

"Dewey, Gale, thanks for everything. I really appreciate it." Jill said hugging them both.

"Anytime kiddo." Dewey said.

"Do us a favor and take care of them." Gale asks referring to Sidney, Billy and the boys.

"We're gonna miss you cuz." Gabe said to William and Scott.

"We'll miss you to." Scott said high fiving Gabe. "Tommy, I'm gonna miss you man. Take care ok?"

"I will." Tommy shakes his hand. "Will, you ok?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." William said hugging him.

"Come here you two." Dewey said hugging Scott and William at the same time. "I love you both and I'm gonna miss you."

"We love and will miss you two uncle Dewey." Scott said. "Aunt Gale, take good care of this big lug." He said as Gale laughs.

"Come here." She said hugging Scott and William. "Take good care of your parents ok."

"We will." William said. "Later Perkins, Hicks."

"Later little bros." Deputy Perkins said.

"Late guys." Robbie said.

"We'll see you soon Robbie." Scott said chuckling. Jill shoved him playfully.

"Where are your parents?" Gale asked Billy.

"They left yesterday." Billy said.

"Well, Sidney Billy it was a pleasure." Robbie said hugging them both.

"We'll see you in a few weeks Robbie." Sidney said glancing at Jill and smirking.

"Thanks for everything." Billy said.

"Anytime." Dewey said shaking Billy's hand then pulling him into a hug.

"Gale." Billy said going over to hug her.

"Take care Billy." Gale said to him.

"Tommy, Gabe, make sure they stay out of trouble. Especially your mother." Billy said as they laughed. Gale looked offended but really wasn't. They all laughed.

"We'll try." Gabe said playfully. "Thanks for hanging out with us uncle Billy."

"Anytime little man. If you guys are ever in LA look us up. We'll be happy to have you." Billy said.

"We'll hold you to that." Gale said.

"Well, it's time to go home." Sidney said.

"Yep." Dewey said.

"Gale, what can I say? I love you. I'm gonna miss you." Sidney said to her. Gale was taken back by the sentiment.

"I love to Sid." Gale said as they hugged.

"Dewey, We've been through a lot together." Sidney said.

"Yes we have." Dewey said to her. "Take care of your family."

"You do the same. Stay safe." Sidney said. They hugged. "Can you do me a favor and visit her grave will ya? For me?" She asked. Dewey knew who she was referring to. Tatum.

"Of course." Dewey said.

"Deputy Hicks, thanks for everything. It was good to see you again." Sidney said shaking her hand.

"Same here." Deputy Hicks said.

"Perkins." Sidney waved to him.

"Goodbye Sidney." Deputy Perkins said.

"Come here boys." Sidney said pulling them into a tight hug. "Gabe, make sure to spend time with your dad, I know he can be goofy but that's part of his charm. Make sure to spend time with your mother, she has interesting things to teach you, last but not least, make sure Tommy knows how much he's loved, he's going to need you." Sidney said offering him wisdom.

"Thanks aunt Sid." Gabe said kissing her on the cheek.

"Tommy…" Sidney said leaning down to face him. "I know you miss Tatum, I miss her to. We all do. Always remember to keep her memory alive and keep her in your heart. If you do that she's never gone leave you. If you ever wana talk, you have my number." Sidney said smiling.

"Thanks aunt Sidney." Tommy said pulling her into a hug. "I love you."

"I love you to." Sidney said squeezing him tight. He needed it. They pull away. "Guys see ya." She said getting into the passenger seat. Billy is in the driver's seat. Jill is sitting in the seat ahead of Scott and William. The cooler is next to Jill. She has her lab top in her lap. They all wave as Billy starts the ignition and pulled out of the drive way. Jill smiles waving goodbye to Robbie and the others. She knows Robbie and his parents are moving to Orange County in a few weeks cause he told them he couldn't stay in Woodsboro after what has happened. His parents agreed and he told them that Orange County sounded like a nice place to live. So they've brought a house out there and will be moving soon. Everyone waved goodbye to Sidney, Billy, Scott, William and Jill as the car heads off into the sunset.

What Followed:

Gale and Dewey returned to their normal life. Dewey continued his work as sheriff of Woodsboro PD and even took a vacation. He took Gale and the boys to Disney world. Dewey also made good on his promise to Sidney. He visits Tatum's grave twice a month. Gale wrote another book about the murders that took place. She had help from Sidney via Webcam. Both woman combined their knowledge and completed the book. It sold millions. Gabe continues to be Tommy's therapist/cousin. He often defends his cousin from others who taunt him. Tommy has also begun seeing a real therapist to deal with his lost.

Robbie spent the last two weeks in Woodsboro focusing on moving away. The furniture from this parent's house has already been moved to the new house in Orange County. He answered questions from the media and did a few interviews but decided it was time to leave.

Deputy Hicks stayed by Dewey's side as his top deputy and continues to make lemon squares. She and Gale have found common ground and now get along to some degree.

Deputy Perkins stayed on as well. He's found a way to cope with losing his partner and buddy. Of course he didn't really know Ross all that well. His new partner is just as young as Ross was but he's black and has no affiliations what so ever to the Loomis', Prescotts or Rileys.

Billy and Sidney returned home with Jill and the boys in tow. Scott and William were happy to see their rooms. Jill was given one of the two guest rooms in the house. She immediately got settled into life as a resident in Orange County. Jill began attending Acres High School and quickly became friends with a young student name Danielle. She was happy to see Robbie when he arrived in town. After writing the book with Gale, Sidney wrote a tell all book on her own. Billy went back running the company he now owns. He spends more time with his family including Jill. Like Dewey, Billy took his family on vacation to the Bahamas. Billy and Hank were finally able to settle things. After getting information he needed from Dewey, Billy revealed to his father that he had committed a rape when he was drunk and the woman he raped ended up pregnant with his child. Hank was horrified by this he would never touch a bottle of liquor at all. Even though he wasn't punished for his crime, Hank still felt bed. He hadn't met for any of this happen.

All was well with the Loomis family. For How long who knows.

The End
