A/N Okay, I know it's weird that I decide to upload the last chapter two years after I stopped updating, but I really felt like I owed it to the readers to finish updating and tie up some loose ends. It's a short chapter, but it was really intended just to wrap up this story. I hope that all of you enjoyed it.

Lizzie nervously tapped her leg up and down as she looked out the airplane window. Thirty thousand feet below her, tiny green dots made up fields.

"Lizzie," Kate said, sounding slightly aggravated. Lizzie looked up at her with a blank stare. "Your foot."

"Sorry," Lizzie said.

"What's on your mind?" Kate asked.

"I dunno. Lots. Where do I even start? I mean, do you realize that we are returning to a place that we abandoned a year ago? They probably think we're dead. Or worse, they forgot us. I mean, there are so many questions that I can't answer. Is Claire still stripping? Does Gordo still hate me? Are my parents together? Are Matt and Melina married? Is Miranda still alive?" Lizzie whispered the last question, and her eyes shone with tears. "I left the people I loved when they needed me most. I don't deserve them back."

"Oh my gosh. I hadn't even thought about that yet," Kate said, her eyes growing wide in fear.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Well," Kate paused. "Are you angry at God?"

"What?"

"Well, we dragged ourselves across the country, I lost a baby, and then we almost burned at the stake all in the name of this God."

Lizzie looked at Kate. "I don't know. I feel like the next part of our lives is going to be filled with tough questions as we try to come to terms with what happened."

"Yeah, but what about everything we learned. I mean, you practically spent an entire year tearing that Bible to shreds," Kate replied.

"You're right. You know, I went into this thing with this casual idea that I was a Christian because I went to a Christmas Eve service every once in a while. Now that I've spent a year memorizing that scripture, I really feel like I know that there has to be more to Christianity than I realized."

"But don't you hate God after everything that happened?"

Lizzie looked at Kate and paused to take a breath. "You know, I don't think I do."

"Well, what does that mean?"

"I guess I don't know." Lizzie looked at her feet. "I don't know."

"Passengers, we are about to make our descent into Hildredge. Please buckle your seatbelts. We will be landing within the next thirty minutes.

Lizzie's pulse quickened as she buckled her seatbelt. This was it. She was about to return to reality, except that she no longer had any idea what reality she was returning to.
