Author's note; after this epilogue there will be around 4 specials and a Q&A. There was only one person who asked questions so please please PLEASE go back to the chapter called 'Near the end! Q&A' and at least ask one question!

Thank you and enjoy! Please let me know at the end if you liked this last official chapter.




In my opinion it's a bit messy, especially at the end. This chapter is long and I wanted it to be perfect yet unforgettable just like the last chapter when they visited Rain, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time and became tired. I will definitely rewrite everything soon. But leave me your opinion and sorry for the mistakes!
















"I've come to realize that nothing in life prepares us for losing someone we love. Nothing."



















"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

















"The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go."














Matthew Gray

"Calm down Matty! There is nothing to worry about, everything is set!" My best friend Ryan yelled at me through the phone.

Justin's birthday had arrived and to say that I was nervous would be an understatement. In fact, I was losing my mind; my hands became all sweaty and shaky, my heart raced like a train and I tried to suppress the nagging feeling inside my stomach as I bit my lip in anxiety.

For a second I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

I wanted, no, I needed it to be perfect.

After everything that Justin had done for me, been through with me and fought for me, I had to give him something unforgettable on this special day. Today was his day and I wanted to give him everything that his small warm heart longed for.

This precious boy got me out of my darkness, gave me the light that I needed and painted the shiny stars in my skies.

"Sorry Ry, I'm just so nervous. What if he hates it?" I answered him.

"I get it Matty, but he won't hate it, I promise you okay? Now go get your man and come back home!" He giggled soft and hung up.

I suppose I'd be picking up my boyfriend.

Things have been quite good for the past few weeks.

My best friend Ryan was almost every day with me. We still hung out a lot like we usually did and we talk about everything subject. I haven't seen my friend Tyler in a while, but some days we'd call and go outside when we had the time. And after I made up with Jake, we continued with what we used to do; hanging out, talking and jogging or playing a sport. Ryan and Jake were still together and Tyler found a girlfriend himself, her name is Kayla. I was glad to have my friends next to my side and we knew that we were always there for one another. I don't think I would lose any of them soon enough.

My mom and I also had many days together where we decided to do something together. She told me that she started dating again. At first it was hard, but now she found a man who was perfect for her in my eyes. I'm not sure what they are right now, but my mom seems like a lovesick high school girl which makes me happy. She deserved happiness after everything we've had to go through.

Justin and I were closer than ever; we'd visit one other, have sleep overs and enjoy being in each other's presence. He made me feel good by every kiss he placed on my skin, every touch he gave me and every single smile he shot at me. He made me fall hard for him and his goofy personality, but that's what I liked so much about him. He may be a fool, but he was my fool.

Sometimes Justin and I visited Rain's grave. And eventually I also found the braveness to visit him alone so I could catch up with him, tell him what he missed and making sure that he knew that he was missed here.

I really did miss my angel more than anything, but I accepted that he was death and that he wouldn't want me to be sad. Of course I'd always be heartbroken about it, but I learned that he would have wanted me to live on with Justin and try to make the best out of the rest of our lives until we were reunited again. I was no longer in the dark tunnel, I was happily smiling like the sun as I tried to stay positive. My bipolar depression took a toll on me sometimes, but Justin and Ryan were there through my episodes and I continued taking my medicines. I had nothing to worry about.

I'd be fine.

"What are you thinking about?" Justin asked from besides me as he continued driving back home.

Once I turned my head to look at him, I couldn't deny the smile that was spread across my face and the happy tingles I felt inside of me. My heart danced around from all the love that filled me.

His green forest eyes were as mesmerizing as ever, shining like the warmth of the sun and focusing on the driveway. His eyes never failed to amaze me. He wore a soft smile on his lips which automatically made me feel happy. I couldn't get over how good he looked every day.

"Everything.. But nothing to worry about.." I said as I placed my hand on his leg to reassure him that I was really okay.

"God Matz.. You know you look really beautiful today? I mean you always look breathtaking, but it's like you tried more today? You even did your hair" He told me as he parked in front of my house, making me blush by his words.

I did that for you.

This silly boy thinks that I don't know it is his birthday today and he didn't even made the effort to tell me. He didn't seem to be sad that I 'forgot'. He was such an angel for that.

But of course I would never forget this important day.

"Let's go inside" I kissed his cheek, got out and walked inside my house.

I grabbed Justin his arm and pulled him up front, leading him to the dark living room. That's when the light suddenly turned on.

"SURPRISEEE!" Everyone yelled happily, threw some balloons at Justin who had a shocked yet happy face expression.

All our friends and family jumped up, happily smiling and walked towards us. The entire room was decorated with colored balloons, birthday garlands and I could already smell the food.

"Matt.. Y-you.. remembered?" He whispered at me, still surprised.

"Of course silly, you are my boyfriend! Don't you dare to think that I won't do anything for you the next time.." I smiled proud and kissed his lips, instantly feeling the tingles spread over my skin like a wave.

It didn't took him long before he responded to my kiss. I smiled in the kiss, tasting the sweet mint and feeling the fireworks erupt around us. Somehow he made me see the stars.

"Now stop kissing you love birds, we are going to party!!" Tyler yelled and made us laugh when the music turned up.

-

After dancing on many songs, eating cake and other sweets, watching everyone giving presents and talking with them, everyone left since it started to get late. But I could see on Justin's face that he had a lot of fun with them.

"Babe.." Justin spoke up, stopped cleaning and walked towards us. "Come here.."

I could feel his warmth consuming my body when he wrapped his arms around me, making me smile and blush a bit. He kissed my forehead and snuggled his head in my neck.

"Thank you.. I never really celebrated it also, because my family is.. complicated.. But this was amazing, I realized that our friends, your mom and you are my home. My family.." He spoke, kissing my neck.

"No, don't thank me. I did this for you, because you always did everything for me. Now I want to show you how everyone appreciates you and only you" I smiled wide, knowing my mission was accomplished.

He had the time of his life. I managed to make him happy and I was proud of that.

"Matz.." He grinned, starting to attack my face with kisses.

"No!" I laughed out loud, loving the ticklish feeling.

He stopped and the fucker smirked satisfied with that while caressing my hips.

Idiot.

Still my idiot.

"The day is not over yet.." I smiled. "How about we clean this mess tomorrow and go to my bedroom" I suggested.

"Oh.. I would love to go to your bedroom" He cheekily winked at me, making me look away in shame.

"Not for that! Stop it! Fucker" I huffed, hiding my flaming cheeks.

"Yeah your fucker, duh" He smirked.

"I hate you!"

"Oh you love me" He smiled, kissing my lips and walking to my room then.

I grabbed the present from my drawer and placed it on his lap while I sat besides him.

"This is my present for you, I wanted to keep it as last. Open it.." I told him.

He smiled a bit, unwrapping the paper and opening the box that was inside of it. His eyes widened when he saw what it was.

"Happy birthday Justin" I congratulated my boyfriend happily.

"You got me a skateboard with my name on it?! And a bracelet?" He smiled and instantly put the bracelet around his arm.

The sight of him being so happy, that was what I've been searching for. He deserved it, all of this was definitely more than worth it.

"I found out that you used to skateboard" I laughed proud.

"How did you know?" He asked curious.

"I got my people" I winked cheeky.

"Oh come here you!"

He pulled me in a tight hug, making me laugh soft and he pulled me down on the bed for both of us to lay down. I leaned my head on his chest, enjoying the feeling of his arms around me and the sound of his heartbeat calmed me down within seconds.

He fulfilled me in every possible way, I felt whole again and I haven't had that feeling after Rain.

I couldn't describe to you how happy I was in this moment.

"I love you so much Matthew Gray.." He said as he comfortingly rubbed my back.

"I love you too Justin McCall.."

















I could happily say that there was still a good ending, after the wrong number.
