YOU ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING TO DO THIS! 

    So, today is Valentine's Day... so happy Valentine's! 

   But, you're all here for one specific reason: IT COULD'VE ENDED? BUT IT ENDED IN ONE WAY AND ONE WAY ONLY! 

   True, true, but did you know that the Reader could've actually ended up dating one the guys from the very start of the book? That's right! I was looking in my drafts, and saw two different endings, one for Garroth, and one for Laurence. In celebration of the most "romantic" day of the year, I thought it would be super cool to make these drafts public, but publishing them here!

   It will be noted that these drafts were poorly written, so modifications have been made for the sake of your brains! Trust me, I was confused, but then I found my train of thought from them. First, will be Garroth's, and then if you scroll down further, you will find Laurence's. I have also including endings for Dante, Vylad, and Zane, just for those fan-girls who thought they were better than Garroth and Laurence XD You'll find theirs at the very bottom. 

   Without further-a-do, let's find out how I would've ended the book if I had favored one person more than the others.

~~~GARROTH~~~

*This takes within after the chapter, "Weddings and Wishes (Part 2)". The first few sentences are taken from the chapter. If it's been a while since reviewing the book, you can read the chapter itself or the entire book up until that point. As you may see, the endings are of course modified to fit the "romantic" ending for this specific character.*

   "It gives me another person to talk to who's actually probably really nice. But I'm glad you're here with me, (F/N). You made this wedding a lot more enjoyable for me." he commented.

   "Garroth, that's why I'm here. I'm here to be your backup, and I'm here to make you happy. Also, I have another question."

   "Yeah?"

   "Is it true you talk about me at the dinner table?" he blushed, and I laughed, "I'm just teasing you, Mr...-"

   "I'll admit, I do." he sighed, looking into my eyes. I looked up, and looked into his. "You just... you're the only person that I've ever talked about with such... such excitement, I guess."

   "Garroth..."

   "I-I-It's cheesy, I know, but... it's true. I don't know (F/N), but it's like every single time I see you, my heart just starts to best even faster than before, and the blood rushes to my face, making it so red... you make me feel nervous." he took his hand, and took mine in his, rubbing my palm with his thumb, looking down at it, "I don't know what it is, but it's a very nice feeling, and I... I want it forever." At this very moment in this tome, he took my hand, and held it tightly. He moved a little closer, and I looked even deeper into his eyes. They were filled with nervousness, but they were also filled with a sense of confidence, and motivation.

   "What are you saying?" I whispered, my heart rapidly beating.

   "I want to give you the world, (F/N). I want to be by your side, as more than just a friend. I want to go places with you, take you on never-ending adventures, surprise you endlessly, but most importantly, I want to love you unconditionally. I love you (F/N) (L/N). Seeing you in that beautiful blue, hearing your beautiful voice blending with mine, holding your hand in this very moment, it's made me realize that my feelings are strong for you. I want to give you my heart, and I... I want you to accept me.

   "Garroth..."

   "Will you accept me?" his eyes met mine. I nodded, tearing up. A single tear rolled down my cheek, and he took his free hand, and wiped it from my face. "Don't cry." he chuckled, "Your face is too precious. It cannot be stained with tears."

   "I'm crying because I'm happy." I smiled. "Garroth, of course I will accept you, only if you accept me."

   "I do."

   "Prove it." I gulped, the boost of confidence slowly turning into realization. He leaned in, and I closed my eyes. I felt the light touch of his lips on mine. I leaned it, and ever so slightly deepened the kiss. He took his hand, and placed it around my waist. We released, and rested our foreheads on each others. 

   "Will you be my girlfriend, (F/N)?" he asked, his voice deeper, his tone serious.

   "Yes." I whispered. We looked up to see the first round of fireworks. Sparks flew that night, both in the sky, and in our eyes.

~~~LAURENCE~~~

*This takes place within the chapter, "Laurence the Life-Saver". The first few sentences are taken from the chapter. If it's been a while since reviewing the book, you can read the chapter itself or the entire book up until that point. As you may see, the endings are of course modified to fit the "romantic" ending for this specific character.*

   "(F/N)! W-What happened...?" Laurence asked me. His face was of worry and fear. My eyes were glossy and blurry, as I tried speaking,

   "I-I... was putting on the assistant coaches gear, and then these two girls walked in. T-They were saying things about G-G-Garroth's video, and then one tried t-to... punch me. I dodged it, and tried running. But one grabbed my leg and I-I fell. The air w-w-was k-knocked out of me. And then, o-one..." I was instantly interrupted with Laurence hugging me in a tight embrace. He was careful of my back. I started sobbing, and buried my head into his chest. Being bullied was never easy, but the aftermath... I was knocked-out.

   "Don't. I've heard enough." his voice cracked. I looked up, and he was tearing up. "I could've lost you in a matter of seconds, (F/N). I should've been here sooner. I could've..."

   "Don't blame yourself." I whispered.

   "Of course I'm going to, (F/N)." he looked at me. He was devastated, and it was very evident. "You're hurt, because of them, because of those Shadow Knights! Because of people like me, (F/N)! I'm horrible, I'm a monster!"

   "Laurence!"

   "I'm sorry, (F/N). I don't... I don't deserve you." I really don't. I should just-" I shut him up by kissing him. His eyes widened, and I quickly released. "(F/N)..."

   "Don't say that, Laurence. I care. You're not a monster." He paused.

   "I was supposed to make the first move." my face went completely red, as my jaw dropped. "I-I... want to protect you from those horrible people. I want to help you in anyway I can. Seeing you hurt, it kills me, (F/N)."

   "Why?"

   "Because I love you! And seeing the person I love hurt and victimized pains me more than you know. It's like watching a piece of you die. It's horrible, and I promise, (F/N), I will not let anyone lay a finger on you like that ever again! Please... accept my idiot self. I'm not perfect, but I promise, I will love you with every fiber of my being."

   "I accept you." I smiled. "Thank you." he lifted up my chin, and lightly kissed me. I closed my eyes, and kissed him back. He picked me up princess style, and whispered,

   "I love you so much. Does this mean...?"

   "Of course it does, silly." I wrapped my arms around his neck, and we kissed once more, as I rested on his chest. He walked me to his car, and he got me ice cream. Logan excused us for the day... and Laurence, wasn't just my boyfriend, he was my life-saver, my knight in shining armor, destined to protect me. He made me feel warm, at peace, and protected. I love him, and he loves me.

~~~DANTE~~~

*This takes place within the chapter, "The Reliable Running Back". The first few sentences are taken from the chapter. If it's been a while since reviewing the book, you can read the chapter itself or the entire book up until that point. As you may see, the endings are of course modified to fit the "romantic" ending for this specific character.*

   "But seriously, why in the world did you throw a book on the ground? You looked pretty frustrated."

   "In short, Cadenza knows how to confuse you, and make you feel really really awkward." He laughed, then sighed, looking down,

   "Then I'm almost positive I know what you're thinking about."

   "What do you mean, Dante?"

   "You're thinking about Garroth and Laurence...aren't you?"

   "How did you..."

   "It was written all over your face." he softly smiled, "They've... they have been doing a lot, haven't they?"

   "What do you mean?"

   "Anything a guy in love would do, I guess." 

   "Dante..." I looked into his eyes, "Are you okay?" 

   "Yeah, yeah I'm cool." he lightly laughed, before looking back down.

   "No, you're not." I paused, and reached for his hand. "You're not Dante." he took my hand, and held it firmly. 

   "You're right, I'm not."

   "Would you be willing to talk about it?" I asked him, concerned.

   "No... because I already have." I looked at him, confusion written all over my face. "The guys... they've been doing so much, but I've been in the shadows this whole time. I guess it hadn't really affected me until I realized... that I like you as well." my eyes widened, blush appeared on my face, making it quite red, and I stuttered,

   "R-Really?"

   "Yeah. My feelings are about as recent as it gets, and I didn't want to hurt Garroth or Laurence by trying to take you away, so I didn't... but now, now I feel like a horrible friend. I've done something wrong. I should go."

   "Wait!" he stood up and I stood up after him. I took his hand, and held it, "Dante, I really want to spend more time with you."

   "You do?"

   "Y-Yeah. I don't want you to feel so distant. I want to get to know you better. Give me a chance to talk to you." I smiled.

   "Are you sure."

   "I've never been more sure about something in my life." he took me, and hugged me tightly. This was only the start of something quite unexpected.

~~~VYLAD~~~

*This takes within after the chapter, "Friendships Last Forever". The first few sentences are taken from the chapter. If it's been a while since reviewing the book, you can read the chapter itself or the entire book up until that point. As you may see, the endings are of course modified to fit the "romantic" ending for this specific character.*

   It was a beautiful scene, and one of the girls in class was crying. Everyone clapped, as we sat down.

   "Vylad... that was amazing." I complimented him.

   "Thanks." he smiled. We continued to sit through class, before the bell rang. 

   "I'll see you around, Vylad."

   "Hey wait! (F/N)..." 

   "Yeah?" I turned around, and looked at him curiously. 

   "Can... can we talk?"

   "Yeah, what's up?"

   "Well, I just wanted to ask if maybe you and I wanted to um..." he trailed off, "If you wanted to go see a movie with me."

   "Really?"

   "You don't have to say yes! I was just wondering."

   "Yeah... Vylad that sounds really nice." I smiled.

   "G-Great! I'll text you later then. Thanks." he blushed, and then exited the classroom. I looked down, and giggled. 

~~~ZANE~~~

*This takes within after the chapter, "The Delightful Dance (Part One)". The first few sentences are taken from the chapter. If it's been a while since reviewing the book, you can read the chapter itself or the entire book up until that point. As you may see, the endings are of course modified to fit the "romantic" ending for this specific character.*

   "So, (F/N)," he extended his hand, "Want to dance?"

   "Sure." I said hesitantly. I took his hand, and we got into a dancing position. We started dancing, before he broke the silence.

   "Congratulations on your... crown." he chuckled.

   "To you as well." I mumbled.

   "Why didn't you accept my Promposal?"

   "I don't know you that well." I mumbled.

   "Why did you bench me?" he pulled me closer.

   "Because, you were being annoying."

   "How so?" I could feel his breath hit the tip of my nose. "Did you ever stop to think about why I was... annoying?" he sighed.

   "Because you want popularity... and by insulting me and attempting to hurt me, you would get attention." I mumbled. 

   "Huh, didn't think about that. I would get attention, but I wasn't trying to get the whole school's attention... I was trying to get yours." 

   "Mine? Why?"

   "Why do you think a guy tries to get a girl's attention?"

   "Because they just do..."

   "Because I find you attractive." he bluntly stated. We continued dancing, and I looked at him with fiery in my eyes.

   "Then why would you try to hurt me? Why would you try to sabotage the band, or have Sasha and Polly hurt me, huh?"

   "I never sent Polly and Sasha to hurt you, and I never meant to hurt you." he said in a near whisper. "I've... I've messed up, and... I'm sorry. I never meant to harm you..."

   "Then why bother?"

   "I don't know. But (F/N), now that I'm here, and I have somewhat of a chance, I... want to start over."

   "How?"

   "I want a second chance."

   "Persuade me."

   "I promise..." he grunted, "That I will not hurt you, I will make sure nobody hurts you, and I will be there for you whenever you need me." my eyes widened,

   "You're being serious?"

   "Yes."

   "Very well then." we stopped dancing, "Zane, I'm going to... give you one chance." he smiled, and blushed.

   "Thank you."
