Epilogue
"On Vineland, past the candle shrine that burns on every night for someone.
Tonight she'll give herself away, she'll break apart all by her, by herself.
It's so easy how we come undone…
Take me over when I'm gone.
Take me over, make me strong.
Take me over, when I'm gone,
Will they burn for me?
On Vineland, past the candle shrine that melts into the street design she waits, for someone.
She lets herself go like an Angel in the snow,
She lays down on her back,
Down on her back, she goes…"
Ashley sang softly to Spencer, as the blonde slowly fell asleep in her arms.
It had been almost two years since the incident with Alaric and Kasey, and Spencer was slowly beginning to forgive herself for 'what she had done' to Kasey. Deep down she knew it wasn't her fault, but she couldn't let it go.
Ashley was there all the time, helping her get over her guilt and anger, never leaving even when Spencer was unbearable. She was almost back to normal, and for that, she thanked God.
On that day, all those months ago, when the police arrived, they saw Alaric's dead body first, than Kasey's unconscious one. They asked for statements from all of them. Lauren and Spencer suggested that Kasey be put in a mental institution while she awaited trial for murder and kidnapping. They agreed.
Kasey ended up killing herself two weeks later. Spencer left. She checked out. It was the same as it had been when Glen died. It was easier for them to save her this time. She had Ashley, Aiden, Kyla, and Lauren there, every day to help her get through her depression, and eventually she began to return.
Now, she hardly cried as much anymore, and her smiles were actually real. No more fake happiness. "I can't give up, not now." Spencer had told all of them one day. They all smiled, and so did she.
Now, on this day, she was really here. Not spaced out, not faking it. She was really here for good. Ashley reached down and seized Spencer's left hand, and began playing with the ring on her finger.
Ashley had proposed.
Spencer smiled, and cried, and screamed. She was so happy. As she accepted, she told Ashley that this was the second happiest day in her life.
"Wait, what's the first, then?"
Spencer smiled up at her, wiping the tears from her face before placing a kiss on her girlfriend—fiancée's face.
"The day I met you."
They were going to be married in December. Winter was Spencer's favorite season.
As Spencer pushed her face, if possible, even further into the crook of Ashley's neck, the brunette finished up her song.
"…Take me over.
Will they burn for me?
Take me over.
Will they burn for me?
Take me over.
Will they burn for me?"
"I love you, Spencer."
And both girls dozed off into a happy sleep.
