I just finished reading this book, and I loved it. The ending was so frustrating though! So here's how I hoped it ended with a lil' extra thrown in. =)

Disclamier: I own nothing I tell ya! Nothing!

I thought it was over. Skip Once Upon A Time, no Happily Ever After, just The End.

Game Over.

Thanks for playing but you have no more tokens and you had no chance of winning anyways.

I don't know wether I feel relieved or disappointed, but as make my way through the empty house I let out the longest breath I've ever held. I'm not being cowardly. It isn't fear that made me change my mind. I had gotten over the fear of dying long ago. No, it was something worse than that.

The fear of missing something. Something I felt I had a right to, just like everyone else.

It's raining as I make my way down the streets, the familiar grass and sidewalks seeming to open to me invitingly. It's not the worst thing; feeling a small bubble of happiness flit through your stomach. I'm being ridiculous, I know. Happiness is fleeting, as is everything else in this short life. But I can't stop the fluttering my heart feels as I walk up his porch and knock.

I hear the birds chirping, the sound of a car door opening some feet away, a dog barking in the distance, my own heart beating. And then the door opens and he stands staring at me like I'm a ghost.

I can't muster a single sound, especially when he keeps staring at me like that. His blue eyes brighten then, and a small smile turns the corners of his lips up.

"You made it."

I nod. Even though my vocal chords can work, I still feel awkward speaking. More so to him.

"Good." He reaches over, looking at me catiously, his eyes asking something. I know what it is and I don't need to answer aloud. With feelings that feel so foreign, I reach back and close the distance between our hands, interlocking my pale fingers with his.

He smiles even wider, his blue eyes making my heart slow. "Come on."

And he leads me into his house, the smell of food overtaking my senses as his fingers softly trace circles on my palm. In this moment, I try to convince myself that this is a much better alternative to how I was originally planning to spend my day.
