This is it! Last chapter. I've had so much fun writing this. You guys are so awesome. I've really appreciated all of your ongoing support. I would love to write another, but I need to take a break from the site and focus on finishing my new book. But I might come back and write another when my book is finished. Again, thank you all so much for your great reviews. Enjoy.

Epilogue

Spencer's POV - one year later

I stand quietly and let the warm breeze dance over my skin. I stand on the cliff overlooking Rosewood and watch the small town disappear as the sun sets. It's been over a year since I stood in this very spot. A year since my world crumbled and I thought the only solution was to end my life. I felt so alone last time I looked over the edge of this cliff, but not this time. Toby's warm arms around my waist are a physical reminded that I'll never feel like that again.

"It's a beautiful sight." he says. I lean into his chest and smile.

"Yeah. It is." I say, and we fall back into a comfortable silence.

I let my mind wander and I think about everything that happened the past year. My father was sent to prison and is going to be there for many years to come. I moved to Philly with my sister. She worked hard to help me heal. It wasn't easy. Some days worse than others. But Toby and my friends were always there to help. It was months before I started to feel like myself again.

After six months, Melissa got a job offer in London. I was doing a lot better and was able to convince her to go. I didn't want to be left alone though, so when she left I moved in with Toby. I didn't really like living in Rosewood again, but I loved being with Toby. And I was happy that I got to finish high school with my friends.

It took a year, but I think I can finally say that I'm fully healed. I still have nightmares about what happened, but I've excepted them. I know that I'll always carry a scar from that time in my life. But that's okay. I can live with a scar. And I like to think I came out the other side a better person. Stronger even.

I look up at Toby and smile. He definitely kept his promise. Things got better. He brought the happiness back into my life.

"What are you smiling at?" he asks.

"Nothing." I say. He laughs slightly and smiles back at me.

"Well, we better get going." he say. "We don't want to miss our flight." I nod my head and we start walking back to our car.

My grades had suffered because of my dad, so I wasn't able to get into an Ivy league school. But I really didn't care. Things like that had stopped being so important to me.

I applied to some other schools and I managed to get into a small school in northern California. Toby and I thought California sounded like a great place to start our new life. So we each got a one way ticket and packed our bags.

Our friends had thrown us a going away party this afternoon. It was hard to say good bye, but I was excited about going. We left with the promise to stay in touch. After that we only had one more stop to make.

Toby and I made it to the lookout just in time to watch the sunset swallow Rosewood whole one last time. It was how we wanted to remember the town. It seemed fitting to watch Rosewood fade as Toby and I prepared to journey to our brightest future.

This chapter was slightly inspired by the song Run by Daughter, you should check it out. I really hope you guys liked this last chapter. PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. Thanks for reading.
