Last chapter! :) Who's sad? We can cry together, if you want! That's what friends do. :)
Okay. For a final time: I own nothing.
It was now two months later, and so much had happened. School had started once again, and the boys were now juniors. Everyone in school had heard what had happened to the boys that summer. There were constant reporters at the boys' school, hockey games, and homes, digging for "the story of the century." On top of all that, their parents were always asking them where they were, what they were doing, and who they were with. They couldn't risk losing their boys again. And while the boys appreciated all the love their parents possessed, they hardly got a moment's peace.
"Ugh, when is it going to be over?" Carlos whined one day, while the four of them were on the ice rink (where they'd spent most of their time recently). He banged his hockey stick on the solid ice. "Can't these people just leave us alone already?"
The boys looked around, and noticed that there was (for once) no one around them. It was about 4:00 on a Wednesday, when the rink for strictly theirs. Their hockey coach had made a big deal about them getting to practice without "all those obnoxious cameras around all the time." The boys were happy for that.
"Soon, Carlos," Logan answered the boy. "It'll be over soon. It'll all blow over, sooner or later. Promise."
Carlos let out a loud huff as Kendall stated, "Well, at least we have each other, right? And we always will."
"Right!" James stated confidently. "If we can make it through a life-threatening situation where we're all tied together with guns pointed at us, we can make it through anything together."
Logan and Kendall both cracked a laugh at that, and Carlos followed the laughter saying, "Thanks for being there for me guys. A friendship like ours is hard to come by, and I love you guys."
The End!
I hope you guys liked this story and this ending. I'm a sucker for happy endings! :)
