Epilogue

After the death of his sister and best friend Otto had a very hard time living his life the normal way but everyone felt that was normal. Otto would sometimes silently cry himself to sleep because of the guilt he felt and just the fact that when he looked at the picture of his sister and best friend on his night table he realized how much he really missed them. Otto's summer that year wasn't normal. He did not partake in any competitions like he usually did. The other people who competed in these competitions thought this was good for them because now they had a chance at winning. Otto would just stay in his house most days and watch TV. Sam would come over and join him. Sometimes they would go out surfing or skating but never for that long.
When the new school year started, which was Otto's senior year, he started to feel a little more positive about his life. The first day of school was a little hard for him because he would not be starting senior year with his best friend and his sister would not be starting collage in the fall like she wanted to. Even so, Otto started to feel a little better about his life and he realized that he still had Sam, thankfully, and they ended up becoming very close that year, as close as best friends should be. Even though Sam was started collage him and Otto still hung out all the time since Sam was living at home and went to Ocean Shores University. Sam would come over and help Otto with his work since Otto had many of the same classes and teachers that Otto had. Otto finally realized that his sister and best friend are up in heaven together and will be together forever. He realized that he needed to stop being selfish and stop wanting them back with him because they were with god now.
The death of his brother was a little hard for him at first. Lars started to resort to other things to ease his pain like heroine and hard liquor. Otto noticed that Lars was in trouble and he thought he could help him since Lars was his best friend's brother and that day in the hospital room when Reggie was in a coma, Lars was there for him and Reggie. Otto took Lars to AA meetings and consolers until he finally stopped and turned his life around. Otto ended up being a good friend for Lars. Lars even decided to enroll in Ocean Shores Trade School and peruse his dream of becoming a mechanic and owning his own shop.
Otto became friends with a lot of people that year, including becoming closer with Trish, Reggie's best friend. Since they were both suffering from the same loss they would comfort each other. Otto would stop in Trish's parent's fabric shop where Trish worked all the time and bring her little surprises like candy and roses. Finally, Otto asked Trish out and they been going out ever since. As a matter of fact, after Otto graduates' high school he plans to ask Trish to marry him since they are so much in love.
