Epilogue

Lyla felt complete lying next to Tyra. It was an odd relationship at best.

Tyra strung her fingers through Lyla's, and they kissed. It was morning and they couldn't be late for their plans they had later. As their mouths breathlessly connected, Lyla couldn't help but feel like she was on pay per view porno. It felt good.

"We have to go," Lyla giggled. They immediately got dressed, racing for the door and into Lyla's car, they were at Tyra's place. Though, soon it would be both of theirs. They were twenty eight and about to be married in Canada. That's where they were going.

They stopped along the way to pick up their witnesses, the only people in all of Texas who really understood them. Tim and Julie.

Lyla couldn't help but wonder what her life would have been like if it was Smash who she was eloping with, and was happy for a moment it wasn't. And then she was deathly happy she was with someone who didn't make fun of her unnaturally high voice ("It sounds like you just OD ed on helium") and that college experimentation worked out for the best.

Tim got in the back seat, and a very pregnant Julie took Tyra's place in the front. It was an easy drive to Niagara Falls, the only place on the continent where gay marriage was legal-Canada. They had their passports ready and crossed the border the next day.

Tim and Julie watched the ceremony, tears came to Julie's eyes. They say love conquers all. And she really believed that, I mean she was married to a man who she met on the terms of lost virginity.

In the past ten years, Julie had become best friends with Lyla which she knew was an odd relationship. They weirdly enjoyed each others company and Julie was the one their when Smash broke up with her, when Lyla discovered she was a lesbian, and when Tyra fell in love with her.



Lyla was there when Tim and her broke up, well every time, and there when they got back together. She was there when Julie delivered her first baby, Tim, her beautiful husband, and unfortunately missed it. Lyla was there when Tami was diagnosed with cancer, and when she beat it. Lyla was always there for her, and vice versa.

Tim watched the ceremony and couldn't look away. He saw the tears in her eyes, happy her two best friends were happy.

Tim thought that Lyla and Julie had a weird relationship, and his best friend continued to be Jason Street. Why fix what isn't broken?

When in their room, Tim laughed and said, "Who would have expected them?"

Julie just smiled, "Who would have expected us?"

AN – Lilly and I would like to thank you all for your patience in waiting for remaining parts of this story. It has been an interesting ride that involved discussing a hook up between Julie and Smash, killing Smash and Lyla (separately) and Lily's elopement. Some tangents, hundreds of emails back and forth and thirteen written parts later we finally done. Thanks to all who read and reviewed. A big thanks to my co-author, Lily, who I consider to be a gem and a true friend (even if she is a Canadian).
