Chapter Twenty-One: Epilogue: Let That Be Enough

-One Year Later-

Marco Del Rossi was happy. He didn't know if the feeling would ever come, but it finally did. He believed that his father waited to die until he was gone, that he didn't want him to have to witness it, the way they witnessed his mother's death.

He was able to have peace over his father's death and realized that his parents were finally together again. And they were watching over him, just like his dad told him that night. He knew that Rex, Alyssa, and Alex were with them too.

And Marco had a new family. It was weird, and random, and fun, but it was still a family. He, Rory, Andrew, Jesse, Gracie, Remy, Nate, Thomas, Ellie, LT, Theresa, and Lindsey were finally together again after their first year apart.

They met at the house in L.A., a house that was now a home to all of them, not just Rory, Remy, and Andrew. They ate breakfast together at the same kitchen table, lounged around on that same living room couch, and sat outside in the sun, around that same, big pool.

Marco finished his first year towards his bachelor's degree in Social Work. He wanted to help people like Jesse who didn't have any parents, and people like Thomas and Lindsey who found themselves in trouble with the law over a stupid mistake.

Rory went to school at the University of Connecticut, along with Marco. He still wasn't sure what he wanted to do, but, was he ever sure about anything? Yes, he was sure about one thing. That he loved Marco and he always would.

The two young men shared a three bedroom apartment with Andrew, Jesse, and Gracie. Andrew didn't go to school. He was a devoted stay-at-home dad, and spent his days taking care of Gracie. He and Jesse were planning a commitment ceremony to take place during the summer. Jesse attended the nearby community college. He wouldn't accept money from Andrew's family, and intended to pay for everything himself. He was completely recovered from his accident, and was planning on transferring to a school with a good Medical program. He wanted to be a physical therapist, because he knew how important they were for his recovery. And he wanted to help people like him.

Remy and Nate were both going to school at Harvard University, intent on becoming lawyers specializing in rape and other sex crimes. They lived on campus in the same dorm.

Thomas loved being a father. His son, LT (which stood for little Thomas) was a year old. He'd taken that year off so he wouldn't miss his first words, his first steps, or his first teeth. And he didn't. He recently decided that he would wait until LT was in Kindergarten to start school himself. When he did start, he planned on becoming a Pediatrician. Yep, having a kid turned him soft.

Ellie was still with Thomas. They lived in New York City, in a small apartment in Manhattan. She'd finished a year in the writing program at New York University and was an intern at The New York Times. She'd recently adopted LT, becoming his legal mother, but they didn't have plans to get married. Yet.

Lindsey stayed in L.A., living in the house, and just got is GED. Theresa also took the year off to spend time with him, and they both intended on finding a school together. They didn't care where it was, as long as they were with each other.

Gracie ran around excitedly, shouting out phrases that no one understood. She was two years old, and everyone was surprised by how big she'd gotten. LT wobbled around in the grass, having just learned how to walk, and Thomas followed him around to make sure he didn't fall. Ellie was constantly moving, taking pictures of her boyfriend and their son. Andrew and Jesse watched Gracie run around and eventually got her in the pool. They were teaching her how to swim.

Marco and Rory sat on a lounge chair together, making out and getting lost in each other from time to time. But there were plenty of people to remind them where they were, and to wait until they were back in their room to go that far.

Remy and Nate were lying on towels in the shade, reading a book together. Remy would read a paragraph or two out loud, then Nate would read one. Whenever they got to a romantic scene, they would take a break and start to kiss.

Lindsey chased Theresa around the yard, squirting her with a water gun. No one had ever seen Theresa having so much fun, and they were all glad that she was finally a happy person. Only Lindsey knew that she was pregnant with his baby, and she was keeping this one.

Everyone laughed and had a great time, knowing that it was only the beginning of a great summer spent together. Sure, there would be hard times too, but they were strong, and they could get through them as long as they had each other.

No matter what they did, or where they went, the friends knew they would always spend the summers in L.A. They were a family, and they couldn't live without each other. They all loved one another in their own ways, and knew that they would never be torn apart.

Let me know that you hear me
Let me know your touch
Let me know that you love me
Let that be enough

Love was enough for them.
