Before you start reading this chapter I just want everyone to know how strange this feels for me. It doesn't feel real yet: It doesn't feel like this is going to be the last chapter of my first finished story. I'm going to miss everyone SOOO much! I'm almost crying right now. :,( But hey, all good things must come to an end. Well, this is it. I'll say my final goodbyes at the end of this chapter

Epilogue

Last time: I realize, right then and there in the pouring rain, that maybe cliché isn't so bad.
Present:

- One Year and Half a Month Later -

It's Fours graduation day today. We've been dating for about a year now. The whole gang jumped for joy at the news of us getting together. I tune out most of his speech (he's valedictorian for his grade) and only catch the last few words:
"Now do something with your life. I want to see you be brave." I smile at him. He catches my eye and smiles back. He just quoted our song.

He jumps off the stage and runs toward me. I laugh and run towards him. We hug and he throws his hat in the air. We kiss. It's like a little reenactment of our fir- second kiss.

We kiss until we need to come up for air.
"Tris," he says, gasping for air, "Follow me."

I follow him to the same hidden park place he showed me last year when I accidentally shouted hurtful things at him. Wow, never thought I'd be saying that.

"Tris, I have to tell you something. I'm going to college." He says looking into my eyes.
"I know, Four. We've discussed this before." I say calmly, returning his gaze. He takes a deep breath.
"Tris, I'm not going to Dauntless University. I'm going to a different state." He says. My whole world shatters in a matter of two sentences.

"Then it's official. We're done." I say, fighting back tears.
"Tris, we don't have to-"
"Yes, we do. Four, the only reason I agreed to not separate was because you were going to a college where I could visit you. Now, if you're going to one in a different state, I can't be with you." I say, still on the brink of tears.
"Why?"
"Because I know what college is like, Four. There are going to be girls much prettier than me who can fulfill your... needs while your at college. Not to mention that you lied about going to D.U. to me." I almost shout. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
"Tris-"
"I don't care. We're done, Four, and that's final!" I shout and storm away. Only now do I start crying.

I bump into somebody. I murmur an apology. I hear them gasp.
"Dauntless! Assemble!" I hear someone shout. It must be Chrissy. The girls in our gang decided that's what we would shout whenever we needed each other.

Pretty soon I'm being ushered into a bathroom by a group of girls. I sit upon the counter where the sinks are located.
"What happened?" Marlene asks. Even Lynn, Lex and Ali look sympathetic. I must be in pretty bad shape.
"Break... up..." I manage to get out between hiccups.
"I swear to god I'm going to kill that-" Lynn shouts storming out of the bathroom. Lex, Ali and Lindsey follow her. Poor Four, he's hot another thing coming his way.
"Mutual?" Chrissy asks. Christina always knows how to cheer me up. I put on a rueful little smile.
"In a way."


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU THOUGHT I WAS ENDING THIS STORY THAT EASILY?! SURPRISE: IM NOT! Y'ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ME FOR A LITTLE LONGER! THATS RIGHT! IM WRITING A SEQUEL, SUCKERS!

Sorry about that little outburst, it's only that I've been planning this bit longer than I've been planning how Four and Tris got together.

Ok, so about the sequel: It's going to pick up again at Tris's graduation day and follow her throughout her college years. There will also be much more drama (because who doesn't love drama?!) and Four may or may not make an appearance. ;) If all goes as planned I believe that it will be called "Typical". (As typical and cliché are synonyms... in a way.)

520 reviews would be nice but since this story is technically over it's not required.

QOTD: On a scale of one to ten how mad/happy/sad/annoyed are you right now?

My answer: I'm so happy I'm dancing with Snoopy, in my optimist pants, to "The Best Day Ever" by Spongebob.
