A/N: This chapter takes place on the last day of school. It's just to show you how things turned out for everyone. I'm going to start the chapter about next year soon. Review!
"Yes! Five hours till summer! Five hours until freedom!"Andrew exclaimed as he walked out of class with his friends.
"I'm so happy I'm off grounding" Lindsay added smiling.
"Me too. First thing we're doing is a road trip" Mike declared.
"Count me in" Cassie said happily.
"Alexia and I planned on going on a road trip this summer. We were actually going to go check out NYU and shop in New York" Lindsay said sadly.
"I remember you talking about it" Brianne commented.
"I probably won't even be allowed to go with you guys. I may be off grounding but my parents aren't letting me off that easily" Lindsay said.
"I'm sure they'd let you go. My mom would even talk to your mom about it" Andrew offered.
"I doubt it. There is no way they're letting me forget what happened this year"
"Let's not talk about that. Be happy that we have three months of freedom" Brianne encouraged her friend optimistically.
"Yeah. Great. Perfect, just what I need." Lindsay said sarcastically.
"What?" Cassie asked concerned.
"Tanaya and Megan. Friends of Fred's. They're walking up to us"
"Lindsay can we talk to you?" Megan asked nervously.
"Fine. What is it?" Lindsay asked giving them a rude look.
"Alone?" Tanaya asked looking at the others.
"I'd rather you say whatever you have to say to me in front of them"
"That makes sense" Megan said understandingly.
"The day after the party Fred told us you were really drunk and kicked him and hit him. He said you wouldn't stop cussing at him and you were insulting all of us. He said you started kissing him all over and he couldn't get you to stop. We believed him at first, but now we see that was a mistake. Thinking we would be proud of her, Vicky told she's the one who beat you up and also Fred and Sam. Then Jane told us you weren't feeling well at the party and we knew he must have done something to you. We're so sorry for what Fred did. He's a total coward and he always has been. We know you probably won't forgive us but we're here for you" Tanaya explained sincerely.
"Is this some kind of joke to get her to be friends with you again?" Andrew asked defensively.
"What do you think Fred did to me?" Lindsay asked seriously.
"He has a hot temper sometimes. He can be violent. I remember he hit me when I wouldn't have sex with him. He paid me not to say anything" Megan said.
"That's not all? That's the only thing he did? Nothing else?" Lindsay asked having a feeling there was more.
"What else could he do?" Tanaya asked confused as the bell rang.
"I have to get to class, not that we're really doing anything but meet me outside the school after class" Lindsay said to Megan.
"Um, okay" Megan agreed looking confused as Lindsay walked away with Andrew, cassie, Brianne, and Mike.
Taylor Manning was excited that today was the last day of school. In three months she would be going to Degrassi Community school where her older sister, and her parents had gone. Her brother Jason also currently went there. It was about ten minutes until the last day of school started. She saw her friend Nolan Brooks and ran up to him.
"Oh my gosh! It's the last day of school! Isn't this exciting?!" She asked enthusiastically.
"I guess" Nolan said with a shrug.
"What's wrong? We're about to have three months of freedom and I don't think you care" She asked concerned.
"My dad wants me to go to basketball camp for the summer and he wants me to be on the basketball team next year just like he was" Nolan said gloomily.
"Well, then just tell him you don't want to do it" Taylor suggested.
"I wish it was that easy but it's not. He just wants me to be a basketball star just like him and I don't have the heart to tell him I don't like basketball because he can't even play anymore"
"I'm sorry. Hey look there's Anna(Marco/Dylan's daughter), Lauren (Paige/Spinner's daughter), and Tucker (Ellie/Sean's son). Let's go say hi" Taylor said trying to cheer up her friend.
"Are you guys excited for the summer?" Taylor asked them after they walked up to them.
"Yeah. I overheard my parents talking about Hawaii so I have a feeling I'll be having a lot of fun" Lauren said smiling.
"I heard my dads talking about Hawaii also" Anna said to her cousin.
"Cool"
"My parents are sending me to music camp" Taylor announced.
"How long is it?" Tucker asked.
"Two weeks. It's sleepaway camp."
"So are you two going out?" Lauren asked Tucker and Anna who were holding hands.
"Um, sort of"
"Finally" Taylor said laughing.
It was about an hour later. Lindsay is waiting for Megan. She spots her a couple feet away.
"Hey Megan!" She called.
"Oh hi. You wanted to talk?"
"Tell me the truth. What did Fred do to you?"
"I told you. He hit me"
"Look, he raped me and if he raped you also we can put him in jail" Lindsay said.
"He did. He was mad because I was sick and I wouldn't do it with him"
"I should of known he did this to other girls" Lindsay said shaking her head.
"I have to get to class. I guess I'll talk to you later. Bye" Megan said walking away.
"Hey Lindsay, sign my yearbook" Andrew said walking up to her.
"Can I sign yours?"
"Sure" he said as he wrote.
This is what Lindsay wrote in Andrew's yearbook: Andrew, Thank you so much for being there for me this year: when Alexia died, when I was raped. You're always there for me and you are seriously one of the best friends I have ever had and I never want to lose you. I hope we get to spend some time together this summer. Maybe I will be able to go on a road trip with you, Mike, Cassie, and Brianne! I can't believe we are going to be in senior year next year! Then we'll be in college....then we'll have careers. I know we'll be prepared for whatever comes our way though. Thanks for being a great friend–:) Lindsay.
"You can't look at what I wrote to you until you get home, okay?" Andrew said handing Lindsay her yearbook.
"Why?"
"You'll see. In fact, why don't you let me hang on to it until the end of school" Andrew said taking the yearbook from her.
"Fine, don't forget to give it to me though" Lindsay said as they walked to their last class of the day.
Lindsay walked into her room and sat down on her bed. She took her yearbook out of her backpack. Why did Andrew want me to wait until I got home to read it? She wondered. She opened the yearbook to Andrew's signature and read it.
Lindsay, I know we agreed to just stay friends, but I said that for you. I don't really want to be "just" your friend Lindsay. I love you to much. I know you might be scared to get into another relationship so soon after Fred, but you know you could never be afraid of me. Remember what we used to tell each-other: I love you from the ground to the moon times one million. I know you probably don't feel the same way. At least not right now and I understand that and I'm willing to wait a long time for you. But if you feel the same way I do, take a look under your bed. Come over to my house with what's in the box at around 4:30. Hope to see you, Andrew.
Lindsay reached underneath her bed and took out a white box with a pink ribbon around it. She decided it must be from Andrew because she hadn't put it there. She gasped and gave a little squeal when she saw what was in it. It was a beautiful black dress. What was it for though? She just shrugged and put it on. She went downstairs.
"What's the occasion?" Ellie asked raising her eyebrow.
"I'm going out for a while. I'll be back in a few" Lindsay said leaving not caring that she would probably get in trouble for not telling her mom where she was going.
Andrew smiled to himself. Everything was set for Lindsay. Lights were off. Candles were lit. Parents were gone for the weekend. Annoying little sister was at a friends for the night. The table was set with the meal he had his dad make for them. He knew Lindsay felt bad that she couldn't go to the prom but he would make it up to her. The doorbell rang.
"You look beautiful" Andrew said smiling as she walked in.
"Thank you. I can't believe you're not at the prom like every normal person" Lindsay said laughing.
"Well, the girl I wanted to be my date wasn't going to be there so I decided it wasn't worth it"
"That's so sweet. I can't believe you did all this for me. I mean the house looks wonderful and the candle-lit table is beautiful and you- you did all this for me. After everything I did or didn't do" Lindsay said as she started to tear up.
"Do you know what tonight is?" Andrew asked as they sat down on the couch.
"Prom night. Only I'm not going. I'm the only girl not going to junior prom. I'm definitely going next year though and we should go together"
"It's something else"
"June 5th?"
"That's the date"
"Tell me!" Lindsay exclaimed laughing.
"Four years ago. Last day of school in 8th grade on this day we went on our first date"
"I can't believe you remembered that! You are the best!" Lindsay exclaimed.
"Yeah well, I guess it comes naturally" Andrew joked.
"Did you set the table by yourself?"
"My mom might have helped a very little bit"
"Mm-hmm. And I guess your dad cooked"
"You're too smart"
"Well your dad is a chef so it wasn't very hard to guess. So anyway what did he make us?"
"My mom made a salad to start off with. My dad made some kind of fancy chicken with a sauce and steamed vegetables. For dessert we have brownies that I bought all by myself" Andrew said.
"That sounds great"
"Want to listen to some music? I thought we'd have our own prom night right here"
"Sure" Lindsay said as Andrew turned on the radio.
"So, are we back together?" Lindsay asked wrapping her arms around his shoulders as they danced to a slow song.
"If it's okay with you"
"It's more than okay" She said hugging him closer to her.
"I love you baby"
"I love you too. Thank you so much for tonight, for everything you do for me"
"It's my pleasure. I know you were disappointed about not being able to go to the prom" Andrew said twirling her around.
"Oh I am so lucky to have you" Lindsay gushed.
"I know. So are you hungry?"
"Famished" Lindsay said as Andrew pulled out a chair for her.
"You can keep the music on" Lindsay said.
"I'll be right back to get the food then" Andrew said walking into the kitchen.
Lindsay smiled. She was so happy to have her life back. The song "You Found Me" came on the radio. She thought it described her and Andre's relationship pretty well. He had found her in her time of need. She knew what Kelly Clarkson was singing about.
Is this a dream
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I'd become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe
You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
So here we are
And that's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back, I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe
You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
And I was hiding
Till you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know, how did you know
You found me
When no one else was looking
How did you know just where I would be
Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
(When no one else was looking')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me
