A/N: Sorry this has taken so long. I just got back from a trip to the U.K. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story. The reviews always put a smile on my face. Well this is the last part. It's short kinda just a little wrap up. I am planning on writing a sequel just not for a little while. I want to do some shorter stories first. Please tell me what you thought of my story!!!!!!!! J
Part Seventeen
Dear Journal,
Well Peter and Sophie said that writing in this thing might help me deal with all my feelings. Who knows they might be right. So much has happened I'm not even sure what I'm feeling. I guess I should just write what I know. I know that I'm not totally better. I know that all my problems haven't magically disappeared, that the pain and hurt are still there. I know that I have people who care about me. And that I'm stronger than I thought. That sometimes bad things happen to good people, people who in no way deserve what life has given them. And that sometimes they're people who care enough to help these kids live with what has happened to them. People who give them back hope. That's what Horizon has done for me. It's given me hope and….it's given me a family. But Horizon didn't save me. I made the decision to save myself. I look around at my new family and see the pure courage in each of their hearts. They've survived and I so will I. I'm not delusional enough to think that this is the end. That I'll go on to live happily ever after. I have a long way to go. But now I have a chance, a chance to live. I came here convinced that I was shattered. And maybe I was. I not the person I use to be. I have the scars that show what I've been through. So maybe the pieces don't fit completely back together. And I'm not the old Kaitlyn, that's okay. I'm someone better, stronger. I'm Kaitlyn Heather Maitland, that's all nothing more nothing less.
Always,
Kaitlyn Heather Maitland
The End
Please review!!
