Epilogue

Alyssa remained in the hospital a week after her attempt, carefully monitored by the staff. Craig Wesley had her released earlier than most suicidal patients, because it was different with Alyssa. There was a change in her. She had finally been able to open up to people and tell them what she was feeling.

Once she was out of the hospital, she started seeing Marlena on a weekly basis. Alyssa felt it to be very helpful to have a professional psychiatrist to talk to, along with everybody else. Her family soon became aware of everything Alyssa ever felt or went through. They became the honest family they once were.

Bo and Hope pulled Alyssa out of Salem High School and enrolled her into Jacobson High School to complete the year. That was when Bo and Hope noticed a tremendous change in Alyssa. Her grades went up remarkably. Marlena said it was because she wasn't having the emotional problems to distract her from achieving good grades. And best of all, Alyssa became part of a circle of friends who treated her well and listened to her. Bo and Hope couldn't be more proud or happier. Alyssa became the girl she used to be. Happy and honest. Bo and Hope felt so blessed to have three happy children, who were loved enormously by their parents.

That was all that mattered!

The End!
