(GASP! The final chapter! Thank you for reading all along! I may write a sequel.)
Stevie bolted up. "STEVIE!" She ran into Steven's old room. He wasn't there, and he hadn't been in a long time. Stevie sighed and remembered what had happened. "And that's why I'm Stevie now…" She walked back into her room…and fell asleep.
If Steven had been there, Stevie would've stayed up until midnight laughing with him, crying with him, joking with him, wrestling with him, or just sitting around with him. But Steven was never going to laugh, cry, joke, wrestle, or just sit around with her ever again. He was gone, and he was never coming back.
There is no such thing as 'happily ever after'. You can never be truly happy. Everyone believes that you will find something that will make you happy in life, like love or friendship. You want to know the truth? You'll never find it. Why spend your whole life searching for something that doesn't exist? You are not a character in a fairy tale. No one is. And yet some people are still wasting time devoting their lives to pursuing illusions known as dreams. An illusion is a fake image that is so realistic you can't help but to believe it. And you don't mind believing it; you want to believe it. The friendship formed between my friends, the other two members of the Saddle Club, and I was only an illusion; a dream we all wanted to believe was real. And so, there is no Saddle Club ever after.
And there will never be a Saddle Club ever after.
END OF SADDLE CLUB EVER AFTER
