Epilogue
Betsy turned out to be everything I had ever needed and more. She listened to what I remembered of my story. I even remembered a few new things as I talked to her. Just her presence seemed to bring out the good memories of Cathy, Chris and Carrie. I even remembered my mother and father vaguely. But somehow they were second string to Chris, Cathy and Carrie.
Betsy and I cried together. I felt comfortable telling her about everything. My violent episodes and my horse Spunky. She wasn't frightened when I told her I had almost killed Dr. Collins.
We left the restaurant almost four hours and about five chocolate milk and coffees later. She was taking me to her house in Greenglenna where she said I could live. I was going to have a real home with Betsy. Somewhere where the love could be felt as soon as you walked in the door. Just like it had been before we went to the attic.
I knew though that I could never forget the attic or Carrie, Chris and Cathy. They would always be waiting at the back of my mind.
I felt sure that we would be reunited one day.
I would make sure of that.
A/N***Cory's story is not over yet, he will live in Greenglenna now, the town right next to Clairmont where the rest of the Dollanganger's live with Dr. Sheffield. In the next story, "One Step Away" Cory will grow up quickly and long to see Carrie again. He can no longer be content to wait around for her to come to him. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. I loved writing this story and I know I'll love the next one just as much!
