Epilogue

Nina sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring solemnly out the window. Lilia sat in the back, a similar look on her face, keeping her hands in her lap. Fabian didn't say anything to either girl; he was taking them to see their parents. He had promised to take her, and he wasn't going to forget about it.

But he wasn't sure if Nina actually wanted to go. Was she just forcing herself, because she felt like she had to? Fabian knew if his parents were dead, he would want to go, but maybe Nina was different.

He shrugged the thought away. There was no need to think about it.

After twenty minutes of driving, Fabian finally pulled into the graveyard's parking lot, setting the car into park. He then got out, planning to open Nina and Lilia's. But they were both out before he could even close his door.

"You guys ready?" He asked quietly, glancing at them. They both nodded, and Fabian slipped his hand into Nina's, who calmed down slightly from his touch. He could tell, and he smiled to himself. After they kissed, they decided to go on to dating, since they were both attracted to each other. So far, everything was working out greatly. Lilia also seemed to enjoy having him around.

Despite Nina only being there once, she knew exactly where her parents' graves were. It was at the far end of the yard, away from most of the other tombstones and corpses. She cringed at some of them; a few of them were kids that were around Lilia's age. She instantly wondered what happened to them; did they get sick? Did they get into an accident? It would forever be a mystery to her.

Nina sat in front of their graves, Lilia silently sitting her lap. Fabian was silent as the two girls stared, he had no idea how to help. But instead, he decided to go buy some flowers to place, so he whispered to Nina where he was going, and left the scene.

"What was Mom like, Nina?" Lilia suddenly asked, once Fabian was gone. Nina let out a quiet sigh, she really didn't like thinking about them. But she knew Lilia deserved to know, so she quickly thought of an answer.

"She liked art. She painted a few paintings for our house, but Dad had got rid of them when she passed. She also loved cooking." Nina explained, smiling at the memories. She remembered her mom singing while she cooked for the family, and herself watching and giggling. Her dad would just laugh, but he would sometimes join in.

"Did she know she was going to die?" Lilia asked quietly, darting her eyes back to her mom's grave.

A caring, loving, unforgettable wife, mother and friend.

"I'm not sure," Nina replied, trying to remember the fact. Now that she thought about it, her parents had talked about it before. Nina's mom had said she would take the risk, refusing to let her baby die. But Nina thought nothing of it; she really thought her mother would be okay.

"But she loved you. She used to sing while she was pregnant with you." Nina whispered, sniffling as her mother's voice ran through her mind. "She would sing all types of songs. But my favorite was when she sang 'Happy Together'."

Nina couldn't stop herself from beginning to sob, but Lilia nodded, moving from her sister's lap as Fabian walked back over. She took both bouquets of flowers, and ran over to the graves, placing one at each off them.

Was it wrong that she wasn't crying? She felt sad, but she never really had memories. She couldn't even remember her dad; did her dad love her, after the fact she technically killed her mom? She sighed; she wasn't going to ask Nina, she knew it hurt her.

She frowned when she turned; Nina's cries had become muffled, Fabian had pulled her into his own lap. She was glad someone was taking care of her; she couldn't do it herself. One day, she would be able to return the favor of Nina taking care of her.

After another half-hour, they all headed back, Fabian holding Nina's right hand, and Nina's left hand holding Lilia's.

The end! Haha, I hate this whole story. SO ADIDOS!

That was kind. Oh well, hope you guys are all enjoying 'Just a Pawn', which is out if you didn't know xD. Woohoo! A trailer for that is right on my profile :)
