Authors Note: Here it finally is, the epilogue you guys have been waiting for, sorry it took so long.
Epilogue
It's hard to believe that it's only been 6 months since everything that happened, 6 months since Eli and I said our final goodbye to each other, 6 month since I said goodbye to the child that must always remain my secret, and mine only. Eli could never know, nor can my family, the truth would tear the apart.
The truth still tears me apart now on a continual basis. From the day Eli finished packing his bags and moved out into Coops apartment till now, I've waited for the day that he was to return home and that day has come a lot sooner than planned.
Coop's parents are returning a lot sooner than expected, and in just 3 hours, Eli will be coming home. No matter how many times I write it, it still doesn't seem any more real. This is the very same Eli that just 6 months ago I was in love with, the very same Eli who has not called or come to visit me once since he left. The Eli who went right back to his old ways of sleeping around with a different random girl whenever he wanted.
Sometimes it's like it never happened, as if Eli was never mine, as if he had never kissed me, or smiled for me, or touched me in ways that only he could know how, but then I just remember what our love created and I know that our love was real and still is. Despite everything I still love him. Despite everything I still want to be with him and one day, I don't know when, I will be with him again, I have to.
But until then, this must remain our secret, the words that spill across these pages, detailing mine and Eli's story, must never be revealed.

coming clean
