I have been dragging to write the epilogue cause I have ABSOUTELY not idea what to put here. Hmm, have mixed feelings on the epilogue. Forgive if it is crappy or anything.
EPILOGUE:
1 ½ YEARS LATER…
Knock Knock.
"Come in!" 20 year old Mitchie called out, as she straightened her dress for the final time and checked her appearance in the mirror for the last time. The door creaked open and a voice said. "You look radiant Mitchie!" A smile curled onto the young woman's face as she faced the red head that just entered the room. "MALORY!" She squealed and embraced her friend.
Malory laughed and hugged her friend back. "Seriously, you look beautiful!" She remarked, eyeing on the brunette's wedding gown. "Thanks Malory! Come, take a sit!" Mitchie offered a chair to Malory.
"Where are the others?" Mitchie inquired.
"All ready for the ceremony Mitch! They figured I should be the one seeing you before the wedding; we haven't met since last year!"
" I know! Flew in today Mal?"
"Just for your wedding!" Her friend shot back.
"How has your studies been? St Andrews is a good school you know. You are lucky to be able to attend there."
"I'm okay. But lets talk about you instead. In less than an hour, you will be Mitchie Grey!"
"I know, I'm so excited but nervous too!"
Malory was about to reply when another head poked into the room.
"Wow, Shane will be speechless when he sees you!" A black haired and faired-skin woman whom looked a few years older than the 2 ladies grinned at Mitchie.
Mitchie stood up and went over to the woman, briefly embracing her. "Thanks so much Arabelle!"
Mitchie's career as a florist certainly had flourished in the past 18 months and Arabelle was one of the few she had met while she was on training. Not only that, Arabelle had insisted to be the one whom was in charge for the decorations, and charged the couple at a low price, despite Mitchie's protests.
The two woman were introduced to each other and chatted briefly before both Arabelle and Malory decided it was time to join their friends and take their seats, leaving Mitchie alone in the room.
Soon, it was nearly time for her to walk down the altar…..
7 years after that:
"Mitchie! Are you quite ready? It is time for us to go!" Shane Grey shouted up the stairs in the Grey's household.
"Give me a moment Shane! I'm changing Serena!" His wife called back.
Shane sighed. It was always like this when the Grey's were about to go out. But today was different. Today is the 8th Anniversary of Sierra's death. Mitchie had never fully gotten over it, and it was their tradition to pay respects to her each year. Today all of them were going to visit her.
A girl of the age of not only 5 years ran up to Shane, tugging his jeans. "Daddy, are we going yet?" Elyon Anna Grey asked sweetly, cuddling a stuff dog.
Shane squatted down and smiled at his daughter lovingly. "Soon sweet pea. Mummy is getting Serena ready."
Elyon nodded. "Okay daddy!"
Suddenly, a young toddler of age 2 came running across the room and into Shane's arms. "Daddy!" He shouted and hugged his father. Shane beamed at his only son. "Hey little fella." He ruffled Joseph's hair. Joseph William Grey was everything like his father, only with his mother's eyes.
Finally, at the corner of his eye, Shane saw a woman descending down the stairs, carrying a girl in her arms. He stood up and nodded at his wife of 7 years, Mitchie Torres Grey. Mitchie smiled and placed the eager little girl on the floor, where she quickly tackled her twin brother. Shane and Mitchie stood as they watched their children playing with one another. Shane gave his wife a peck on the lips and smiled at her, they eyes exchanging a silent conversation.
"Alright kids, time to go!" Mitchie called out, grabbing her purse and a bouquet of flowers. The little girl she had carried down reached her arms out to her mother, wanting Mitchie to carry her.
"Serena Rose, darling. I've got loads of stuff to carry. Be a dear and walk alright? You're a big girl now." Mitchie whispered to her younger daughter. Serena nodded her head sadly, still rather attached to her mother.
Shane fished out his keys and opened the door.
The couple managed to get all 3 kids into the car within minutes and was ready to go. "Let's go visit your Aunt Sierra." Mitchie said a pinch of sadness in her voice. Shane squeezed her hand softly, letting her know he was there for her.
The Grey Family made their way to Sierra's grave. Mitchie simply placed the flowers onto the grave and smiled miserablely. She still missed Sierra, after all those years….. She kneeled down and read the inscription on the grave she knew oh-so well.
"Hey Sierra. 7 years have past already. 7 long years….. I brought everyone here today. Even Serena and Joseph, your god children….."
Here Lies Sierra Annie Martin.
1992-2010.
Beloved Daughter, Sister and Friend.
'Not Even Death Can Keep Us Apart.'
Mitchie re-read the last line again and again, the words flashing through her mind. She always felt better when reading the line. The words were true, Sierra was still in her memories, today, tomorrow and always. Her friend was cruelly taken away from her, but all the times they spent together will be imprinted in her heart….
Not Even Death Can Keep Us Apart. Mitchie thought.
Many miles above, Sierra Martin sighed sadly as she saw her friend's tears flow. She channeled her gaze to her 2 god children, Joseph and Serena. They were two beautiful children, and Sierra sweared to protect them always.
She still misses her friend greatly, but was also thankful for all the people in Mitchie's life that helped her to come to terms with her death. She recalled what she told her mother before she took in her last breath all those years back.
"The love I have for all of you will always survive mum, deep in your heart….."
"Best friends for life Mitchie." Sierra whispered.
As Mitchie stood up to leave, a gentle gust of wind blew onto her face, and Mitchie could hear Sierra's words in her mind. Her lips curled upwards.
"Best Friends Forever Sierra."
