AN- This is the epilogue. I want to thank everybody who has read, reviewed, followed, and favorited this story. I have plans for a sequel, but it will take time to actually write it and put it up, if at all.

It would be great to see from you guys, if you want a sequel made. Let me know in a review!

Thank you all again! - violet day.

The song is "Changing Faces", by E.G Daily

"No! This can't be happening!", yelled George as Harold joined him on their walk to school. "I can't lose you again, Harold!"

"George, you're not losing me again. My mom, Harrison, and I talked about it all day yesterday. He has a nice house from pictures I've seen. It's in the country side. Spending the summer with him might be "good for me"," said Harold putting the rest in quotations.

They made it to school.

Melvin, Tuck, and Ruth joined them before they all had to go to class. The boys looked at Ruth; she looked different. She wasn't wearing a sweater today. But she still wore a black short sleeve shirt. The bruises on her arms finally visible. Her hair was tied up in a small bun; they could see her smiling face along with a black eye.

"What happened?", asked Melvin.

"I don't want to be afraid anymore", said Ruth.

Silence.

The bell rang. It was time for them to go to class. Before they had to go their separate ways, George and Harold looked sadden as they held up one hand, remembering their Declaration of Friendship.

"Harold, I want us to last forever. For the rest of our lives, no matter what, it's always going to be you and me", said George.

"Forever", said Harold.

They shook hands, hugged, then walked separately down the hall. George made it to one door, Harold to the other.

With one last smile, the boys closed the doors behind them.

(End Credits)

Here we go another day,

Looking for another way,
Tired of takin' the backseat,

Carry on from place to place,
Hold our heads up, smile with grace,
Time for tears, there's no escape,

Hold on, you can say anything,
Take off your shoes and sit for a while,
I'd like to know if you hear what I'm sayin' now,

Changing faces,
Oh, it's time go home,
I'm so tired of this game we played,

Changing places,
Take a look at these eyes,
There's so much more that we need to say,

So many things we all have learned,
Count the blessings with every turn,
Can't forget my faith in you,

How nice to be ordinary,
Time out, can't pretend anymore,
I'd like to know if you hear what I'm sayin' now,

I'd like to be myself for a while,
Just me...

Stop changing faces,
Oh, it's time go home,
I'm so tired of this game we played,

Changing places,
Take a look at these eyes,
There's so much more that we need to say,

Changing faces,
Oh, it's time go home,
I'm so tired of this game we played,

Changing places,
Take a look at these eyes,
There's so much more that we need to say,

Changing faces,
Oh oh... oh oh...
How sad... oh...

Here we go another day...

The End...?
