Hi guys! This is the epilogue of Life improved with him. Auslly finally get together, like all you have been wanting to them to. This is also the final chapter. I'm so happy everyone likes it, because I worked exceptionally hard on it and I strive to please every single one of you. OK, enough shooting my mouth off.

ALLY:

I was just sitting on the couch. I wanted to avoid the news tonight because I was sure there would be something about the lockdown. I just curled in with a thick cotton blanket that used to be my great grandmother, Morwenna Dawson. She gave it to me when she died eleven years ago. I felt like she was closer to me everytime I had this blanket.

I got a call from my dad.

"Hi, Dad,"

I said.

"Hi, sweetie. I just called to say that I'm so sorry about what happened to you today."

I sighed.

"It's not your fault. But, I want to know, how have you been doing, Dad? I haven't seen you since you were in the hospital for a heart attack."

"Great. Katie's been taking good care of me."

"Gotta love Katie."

"So, you got a new boyfriend?"

I said,

"You mean Austin? He's not my boyfriend, but I really like him. He's very nice, he's funny, he's clean cut and he's also sober and clean."

Dad asked,

"I like him and I haven't even met the guy. What does he do for a living?"

I said,

"He's a correctional officer for juvenile delinquents. Don't worry, he's not nearly as sketchy as he sounds."

My dad sounded very happy on the phone.

"I'm glad you found someone you really like."

I said,

"Me too."

Five minutes later, he had to go. I heard a knock at the door. I got up and wrapped myself in the blanket. I opened the door to see Austin.

"Hi,"

I said.

Austin giggled.

"You look like this pillow that my sister has in her room."

I said,

"You're lucky it's cold out and my arms are stuck in this blanket because I would totally slap your ass right now."

I laughed. I knew he was joking, and I liked his sense of humor. He said,

"Um, listen, I wanted to come and check on you. I heard about the lockdown at Kinloch Park and I wanted to make sure you were OK."

I said,

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just very worried about my colleagues and my students."

"I'd be scared too if I had to deal with a firearm threat. Does someone need a bear hug?"

I said,

"A tight one."

He wrapped his arms around me and I squeezed him back. He was a good hugger.

"You're also very adorable when you're wrapped up in a blanket."

He pinched my cheeks and started making cooing noises. I said,

"Come on in."

I took my blanket off and he sat beside me. I covered us both with the blanket. I asked him,

"How's Sammy?"

He said,

"Sammy's fine. Her hand should heal in about three weeks. But the inmates have been very nice to her, which I'm happy about."

He looked into my eyes and smiled.

"My god, you're beautiful."

I stared into his eyes and we kissed again.

"I've been wanting to do that ever since I met you. I love you, Ally Dawson."

I said,

"I love you too, Austin Moon. You're the person I've been waiting for my whole life."

He asked me,

"Ally Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?"

I said,

"I gladly accept. I will certainly be your girlfriend."

We started kissing again. I really loved this guy. He was the sweetest guy, he was funny, he was smart and he was caring. In the beginning, my life was a mess- I was single, I had two jobs (one with a bad salary and kids who had no respect for me), I was on the verge of going broke and my dad had been hospitalized for a heart attack. But I was happier in life now.
