Epilogue
Or chapter ten for those of you who want to call it that...
Alicia stared out the window of the train and watched the scenery race by. Or was it her that was racing by?
She didn't feel like anything had changed. She sure didn't feel like she'd accomplished anything. It had ended like it always had. She'd gotten friends and a new family, then she'd lost them.
But, they'd left a new feeling with her. She couldn't remember feeling this since the first or second time she'd had to leave her "home".
She missed them.
For the first time in years, she'd actually cried when she had decided she had to move on.
They left an impression for sure. But in reality they hadn't been anything special. They couldn't keep her away from the Bloors.
Actually, living with the Torssons had done just the opposite. That had been the fastest she'd come in contact with her original family since being taken in.
But, for meeting up with them so quickly, she'd lasted quite a while.
She resumed trying to write her letter on the shaky table that her train's compartment offered.
She wasn't writing to Lysander or the Torssons. She wasn't writing to Emma or Olivia. Surprising enough, she wasn't even sending hate mail to addressed to Bloor's Academy.
She was writing to Dagbert, the one person Alicia had decided to stay in contact with.
As she'd been packing her bag, Dagbert had appeared in her doorway. Had it really only been a month since they'd broken up? It seemed so much longer.
Alicia couldn't help but wonder if he missed her as much as she missed him.
That had been the last reason for not dating Lysander. The one she hadn't told Tancred.
She couldn't imagine explaining to him that she still loved Dagbert.
The two of them had apologized and agreed to write to each other.
She was sure that no one else had ever known this Dagbert.
She gave up on trying to write a legible letter on a train and went back to staring out the window.
It started to rain and wondered if it was too far away for it to be Tancred. He was sure to be upset.
She hoped he got over it soon. She really was happy. Lately she realized that she got a lot of things other people didn't.
She got a another chance to try to do things over.
That is officially the end of the story. Alicia may not, but I sure feel like I've accomplished something^^ I put in an epilogue because the two stories before this weren't serious stories. The epilogue is supposed to show that Alicia is going to be okay and it's supposed to lighten the mood a bit. Thanx for reading!
