Epilogue
Ginny's P.O.V
I stared up at the apartment complex that we were about to live in now. I looked over at my mom who smiled a bit.
"You're room is bigger and we have no loud neighbors," She told me.
"I miss Matt, Foggy, Karen, and Frank," I told her.
"Me too. Hey, Matt, Foggy, and Karen promise to come by on your birthday and holidays," She told me. I nodded before grabbing some stuff from the truck.
We went inside to start our new apartment. I almost dropped my box until someone helped me. I looked up to see a cute boy standing in front of me.
"Th-Thanks," I stuttered a bit.
"No problem. Are you guys moving in?" He asked.
"Yes we are. Do you live in this complex too?" Mom asked him.
"Yeah. I live right next door," The boy said, looking over at the door on the left.
"Oh wonderful. This is my daughter Ginny," Mom said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Peter by the way," He smiled.
"Hi," I said shyly.
"Do you need help?" Peter asked us.
"If you don't mind," Mom said to him.
"I'd love to help," Peter said before picking up a box.
We went inside the new apartment once mom opened the door. I put the box somewhere in the room while Peter put his box next to mine.
"So, Peter, what school do you go to?" Mom asked him.
"I'm going to Midtown High," Peter told her.
"Oh, Ginny's going to that school as well," Mom said happily.
"I'll show you around. You're going to love it there," Peter told me.
Once we were done putting the boxes inside the apartment, I was getting my room set up. I started to my books into my new bookshelf. Peter was helping me take my books out of my boxes.
"You like to read?" Peter asked me.
"Yeah," I blushed down.
"I have a friend who likes to read as well. I'll introduce you two sometime," Peter said.
"Cool," I smiled before putting more of my books away.
"So where are you from?" Peter asked me.
"I'm originally from Hell's Kitchen," I told him.
"Yikes. I heard a lot of stuff happened there," Peter told me.
"Yeah. That's why we left. My mom just opened a new diner here," I told him.
"Do you miss Hell's Kitchen?" Peter asked me.
"I miss my family over there. My godfather was there and so were my mom's friends. They were all like my family," I told him.
"I see."
"Is there anything you like to do here for fun?" I asked.
"Well we can walk around. It's not so bad of a place," Peter told me.
"Let's get more boxes," I told him.
We walked out to see my mom talking to a woman in our living room. They shared a small laugh before looking over at Peter and me.
"Oh hello kids," Mom smiled at us.
"Hey, Peter," The other woman smiled.
"Hey May. Ginny, this is my Aunt May. May, this is Ginny," Peter said.
"Is she your daughter?" May asked mom.
"Yes, she is," Mom said proudly.
"She looks so much like you," May said.
"Aw thank you," Mom said.
"Do you want to watch a movie sometime?" Peter asked me.
"A movie?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"I'd like to," I tell him.
"Great! Do you want to watch it Friday?" Peter asked.
"Sure," I said.
Matt, Foggy, and Karen came for dinner the next day. We had a lot of things unpacked and thought to invite them over.
"So, how are you guys settling in?" Karen asked.
"It's great," I said.
"Ginny's got herself a little boyfriend," Mom said.
"Mom!" I said embarrassed.
"A boyfriend?" Matt asked.
"A boy who's just a friend," I tell them.
"We know, kid. Are you loving it here?" Foggy asked me.
"Yeah. It's great," I nodded.
"We're glad that you're both happy here," Karen said.
"Thank you," Mom smiled.
"So Ginny, have you decided on what you want to be when you grow up?" Foggy asked.
"Noto yet but it'll come up to me eventually," I tell them.
"Well what ever you decide to major in, we're all here for you," Matt told me.
"Thanks, Matt," I said.
"Now who wants dessert?" Mom asked.
"I do. Please tell me it's your chocolate fudge cake," Foggy said.
"Yes it is."
"Awesome," Foggy said before getting up to help her.
"I'm going to use the restroom," Karen said before walking away.
"Have you spoken to Frank?" I asked Matt once Karen was gone.
"Just once."
"How is he?" I asked.
"The same," Matt told me.
"Can you keep an eye out on him? For me and my mom?" I asked Matt.
"Of course, Ginny," Matt told me.
"Do you two want a slice?" Mom asked us.
"Yes please," I said.
"Yes. Thank you, Amelia," Matt said.
"Of course."
"Ginny, are you happy here?" Matt asked.
"Yeah. I am," I tell him.
"Good."
Later at night, I stared out at the window, thinking about the future. I stared out at the new city before lying in my bed and falling asleep.
