Big Time Epilogue

This afternoon I watched two of the greatest people in my life walk across our stage, and they watched me. All I could think was that 'we made it, and we made it far, through tough situations.' Now we're here at James' house celebrating. Mom and Katie came down from New York for the weekend. We were all together having a good time.

Carlos and I were talking to Katie when James walked up to us. A girl stood at his side. She was short, but very cute.

"Hey guys, I want you to meet 'Aina. She works at Jamba Juice," James said, blushing.

I saw Carlos wiggle his eyes brows at James, causing him to blush more.

"Hey 'Aina, I'm Kendall. And this is my sister Katie," I looked down, but Katie was gone. 'Aina gave me a confused look. "Okay? Anyways, and this is my boyfriend Carlos."

"Nice to meet you guys. Congrats on your graduation."

"Thanks," I smiled.

I saw James bounce up.

"OH 'Aina, you have to meet Puddles! My kitten, she's adorable!"

"Okay," 'Aina smiled.

I saw James searching for Puddles, with a worried look on his face. I told Carlos to keep 'Aina company while I went over to James.

"Dude, I can't find Puddles!"

"Where was she last?" I asked.

"I thought she was inside, but my mom said she thought she was out here."

"Let's try the out front."

He nodded.

We made our way to the front and searched everywhere. We looked behind the bushes and under the porch, nothing. Puddles had disappeared.

"I don't know where she is, dude," I turned to find James' staring across the street. "James?"

I looked over and saw Sarah walking towards us, Puddles in her arms.

"I'll handle this," I said, walking forward.

"No," he pulled me back. "It's okay."

"I'm guessing you guys are looking for this adorable kitten?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, we are," I answered before James could.

"I don't know how she ended up on my porch," She said, handing her over to James.

"Thanks," James whispered.

Something seemed different about Sarah. She didn't look so pale anymore. She let her wavy hair down and she just seemed happier. After James had Puddles, Sarah still stood here. It was a bit awkward.

"Wasn't it hilarious when Buddy Simmons tripped while walking across the stage today?" She asked, giggling.

I was taken by surprise when she asked, but thinking about Buddy falling made James and I, both laugh.

"Yeah and did you see his mom's reaction? I thought she was gonna pass out!" James added.

We all laughed together at the thought.

"Did you guys see Jenny Tinkler's make up?" I asked.

"Yes!" Sarah bounced. "It looked like she came from the clown convention."

"So true!" James smiled.

It got quiet again.

"So, um, I'll see you guys around," Sarah said, walking home.

James and I looked at each other.

"Wait," I said.

"Do you want to come out back for a burger or something?" James asked.

Sarah smiled, "I'd like that."

The three of us went out back. Carlos ran up to me and pulled me aside.

"Dude, why is Sarah here?"

"I guess her and James sorta silently put things behind them. I'll support whatever he does, even though a part of me still doesn't trust her."

"I guess we'll see what happens."

"Yeah," I said.

"He really seems to like 'Aina though."

"I know right! They look adorable together too."

"Not as adorable as we look together," he said with a huge grin on his face.

"Of course not," I laughed.

We joined the others and spent the rest of the evening talking about silly things we did throughout the year.

"Are you sure you boys have everything you need?"

"Mom, we're going to be fine."

"Alright fine, but be careful!"

"Promise," said Carlos.

I gave my mom a hug.

Carlos and I were going on a camping trip for the weekend, just the two of us. I was really excited and I could tell he was too. He's been talking about it for weeks.

As soon as we got in the car he took a hold of my hand.

"I'm really excited, Kendall. We finally get to go on our camping trip!"

"Me too. It's going to be amazing," I smiled.

We drove to the campsite and got everything set up for the night. We lit up a campfire and had a small dinner.

"Do you ever think about all the bad situations we've been through?" he asked.

The question kind of took me by surprise.

"Sometimes, but I don't like to. I like to think of all the good times we've had and WILL have in the future. Do you think about the bad things?"

"Once in a while, but it only reminds me of how good I have it now. I'm glad we got through everything, worked it all out. No one ever really separated us."

I put my arm around him and moved him closer.

"I love you," I whispered in his ear.

"I love you too."

He sat up and gave me a confused look.

"What?" I asked.

He stood up, lifted his head and took in a deep breath.

"I LOVE YOU KENDALLLLLLL!" he shouted with all his might.

My jaw dropped. The guy drives me nuts. I jumped to my feet and cleared my throat.

"I LOVE YOU CARLOSSSSSSSS!"

Here I am shouting at the top of my lungs how much I love this guy. Nothing else matters right now, no one else matters. These are the times I'll always remember.

"YOU'RE ADORABLEEEEEEEE!" he shouted, coughing at the end.

"HEY CARLOS?"

"YEAH, KENDALL?"

"WILL YOU STAY WITH ME FOREVER?"

His smile faded. He wore a look that I didn't recognize. I was afraid that maybe it was too much. Maybe I blew it, but its how I feel. I want him to be with me forever. I want him to be mine all the time, until this world ends.

Just when I was about to lose all hope. He took my hands in his and his smile returned.

"You're so silly," he chuckled.

"…I…am?"

"Yeah…."

"Carlos, will you-,"

"Shush," he said, putting his finger up to my mouth. "You don't have to ask me twice," he laughed.

"So is that a …yes?"

"No."

"NO?"

"No, it's a FUCK YES!"
