A/N: So, this is the final chapter. It's not long but I feel it sums everything up. I hope you've all enjoyed the story and if you have, I suggest you check out The Book Of Tomorrow by Cecilia Ahern. It's where I got this idea from. :) There is another story in the work so you don't have to worry. Once it's beta-ed I will start posting. Hopefully I'll post that one more often, or well, I'll try.
Thank you to my amazing beta for putting up with all my mistakes :P
Enjoy and please review for the last time.
A year later sees me walking along the same familiar gravel path hand in hand with Anthony. Things between us have only gotten stronger. I know that this if for real with him. I've never had these feelings before and I know that he really does care for me. We have our ups and downs like everyone else, but we work through it and we only come out stronger. I am so glad that we moved here and I met Ant.
We've decided to take an early morning walk. Mother is going to marry Eric today. He proposed three months ago and she accepted instantly. I guess they have a lot of time to make up for, and now they just want their life together. It's still hard at times to accept Eric as my father, but I'm slowly getting there. He's a good guy and makes mum so happy. There's not much more I could ask for.
Life has changed completely for all of us. We're all so much happier and are finally living the life we've always wanted. Mum is with the love of her life, and I'm with someone I love; we're all happy.
"Hey, you alright?" Anthony softly nudges my side and I look up at him.
"I'm fine." I smile. "I'm just thinking?"
"About what?" he asks, gently. He drops my hand and snakes his arm around my waist instead, leaning down to place a kiss on the side of my head.
"The past year. How it's all changed. How my life has changed. I'm glad it has, though." I rest my head against his shoulder and look at him.
"Good." His lips curve into a smile. "I'm just glad I got to meet you. I have someone to show off and be proud of."
I giggle softly and lean up to tenderly kiss him. "I love you, Ant," I whisper.
"And I love you," he whispers back before he nuzzles my nose. I giggle again and bury my face into his neck. "Come on," he laughs. "Let's get back and get you into that pretty dress of yours."
I stand at the makeshift alter in one of the fields as the sun shines down on us. It never gets too hot here so it's bearable. My lips are curved into a permanent smile as I listen to mother and Eric exchange their vows. They're so in love.
The vicar pronounces them husband and wife and Eric leans forward to kiss mother. I turn my head and see Anthony looking at me and I can't help my smile from widening. I know that one day I'll have that. I'll have everything that they finally have and I'm not going to let one bit of it go without a fight.
I'm finally happy.
