Epilogue- Best Friends Forever
The two days passed quickly for both Desiree and Izzy. They, no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, still stuck by each others side. It was something they had done over the years and it was something they held onto. No matter how hard times got, they always went to eachother.
The two were being separated yet again and though they didn’t seem any different to eachother, everyone else saw. Remy had seen them together for too long now and actually had his regrets about sending his daughter down to New Orleans, he knew she didn’t want to leave everyone.
The day before Izzy had announced that he would be leaving a few hours after Desiree’s plane departed. Jade realized what was going on almost immediately, but her mouth stayed shut, it was hard enough for them to be doing this.
Ryan had woken up earlier that morning but remained in the medical lab under doctors order. Nobody went down to see him, except when he needed food or something, and only Zaira was the one allowed down, she was calmer than all the others.
James was confused. He had come to the mansion and now people were leaving. He had gotten used to Izzy’s antics rather quickly, only because he knew he had to. He figured Izzy was pretty cool and was actually losing one of the only friends he had made. Desiree on the other hand, he had found her beautiful and seeing her go, he personally thought the mansion would be boring, she seemed to be the one to bring the trouble, and that would mean it would probably leave now.
Nira was devastated and had spoken her mind about the situation rather plainly. She told Scott in the nicest way a street girl could. “I think Ryan should get the hell outa here! Why do you have to send Desi away huh? Why can’t it be that asshole” Eventually she was pulled form the room by Jay (Josh) and wasn’t allowed to return for the rest of the meeting.
Jade was angry. She had just gotten used to having Desiree around all the time and now she had to leave. She was silent though, and her anger started rising from inside, but it stayed there. Then she excused herself from the room because of a headache. Sean followed her, saying that he’d make sure that she’d be okay, much to Scotts dismay.
Logan, Remy, Rogue and Zaira didn’t go in at all. Logan had seen planned on going with her to the airport and saying his goodbyes there. This was everyone else’s chance. They didn’t know how long she would be away but they knew it could take awhile. Zaira didn’t go in because she shared a room with Desiree, and she could see her before, she didn’t want to get angry at anyone either. Remy and Rogue had spoken time and time again about their decision and whether or not it was a good one. They had seen the sadness in their daughters eyes before and now they were seeing it again.
It was six in the morning when Desiree walked down the stairs in a pair of blue jeans and nice shirt. Her parents, Logan and Izzy were waiting for her and she didn’t look one of them in the eye. The silence in the car wasn’t very comforting. Nobody seemed to be happy and everybody knew it.
Logan approached Desiree after the others had gone to put her luggage down near a group of chairs. “Des” he says getting her attention.
“Oui?”
“You take care of yerself kid” He tells her with a small smile. “Ya know what’s goin on down there so you keep your head straight, don’t get too involved”
“Oui M’sieur” She tells him.
“Here” He says handing her a small package. “Don’t open it till ya get to New Orleans ya hear…and know that if anything gets outa hand, call me immediately”
“Ah know, ah promise” She tells him smiling and hugs him. “Ah love ya Uncle Logan” She tells him as he kisses her forehead.
Logan put Desiree on the front of the bike. He sat behind her placing a small helmet on her head. “Ready kid”
“Oui M’sieur!” She exclaims as the motorcycle starts up. They sped away down the road. Desi looked back with a large smile on her face and it lasted until they arrived at the restaurant. “What dat sign say Uncle Logan?”
“IHOP” he tells her
“Y’ hop? Lahke a bunny?” she asks giggling as he removes her helmet.
“That’s the name of the place”
“y’ say y’ hop” She says and starts giggling again.
“c’mon” he says and she takes his hand as they walk across the parking lot.
“Smoking or non smoking” The lady questioned
“Smoking..”
“Uncle Logan” Desi says “Smokin bad”
“Non smoking” he mumbles and they direct him towards a table.
“Merci Madame” Desi says smiling at the young lady. “Are y’ gonna say t’anks?” She asks Logan.
“Thank you” he growls.
“Cute kid” The girl laughs and walks away.
“Would you stop doin that kid?”
“Doin what? Mama an’ Papa always say t’ use manners, an’ Uncle Logan y’ need t’ learn some” she smiles
“Brat”
“Am not”
“Yes ya are”
“Non!”
“Yes” Logan growls
“Well y’ still love moi anyways” she says smirking.
“I could leave ya here”
“but y’ won’ Mama would hurt y’ an’ din so would Papa an’ dat wouldn’ beh good” she grins knowingly.
“Yer evil”
“Non” she says “Ah’m jus’ smart Uncle Logan, Papa say ah’m too smart”
The waitress walked back up at that moment to take the drink orders. “What would ya’ll like to drink sir?”
“Coffee”
“And you young lady?”
“Orange juice please” she tells the lady who smiles at her. She nods.
“Ah’ll be back with ‘em in just a minute”
“Y’ shoulda said Please Uncle Logan”
“I don’t say please kid”
“Well y’ jus’ did”
“Brat” he glared at her and in response she stuck her tongue out at him.
“Don’t go given ‘em too much trouble brat” Logan tells her as they pull out of the hug.
“Ah am not a brat” Desiree declares.
“Yes ya are”
“Ah am ain’t ah?” She asks smiling as they walk over to the group again. Logan took Izzy off to the side while Remy and Rogue spoke to Desiree.
“Petite, dis a goin’ ‘way present from y’ Mama an’ Papa” He says handing her a large bag.
“Ya don’t go openin’ sugah till ya get to New Orleans ya hear?”
“Oui Mama”
“Promise meh ya’ll will beh good” She says. “Ah don’ need no phone calls from ya Grandfather telling meh that ya gone and got yaself inta trouble”
“Mama, he dealt wit papa, ah doubt he gonna have a problem wit’ meh” Desiree smiles.
“Papa say ah don’ have t’ go” Desiree told her mother. “He say dat dey evil evil people at school and dat ah Desiree Marie LeBeau don’ have t’ go, an’ dat ah canstay wif him all day” She smiles.
“Not this tahme sugah” Rogue said “Get on that dress and beh ready in ten minutes ya hear”
“Oui Mama”
“An’ no more of that nonsense about schoolbein evil” She walked away.
“Petite, y’ coulda gotten y’ Papa in a whole lotta trouble” He received a simple giggle from and then flipped her over and started tickling her.
“It betta din moi getting int’ trouble!” she says in a fit of laughter.
Izzy was next and the final person she had to say goodbye too. He held her in his arms for a few minutes, in complete silence. His chin rested on the top of her head, her face buried into his chest. They didn’t have any words to say to eachother, there was only the silence they shared.
“My names Izzy, and even if the lil Sheila is a mutant, ya treat all Sheila’s with respect ya hear” he declared. “Now git ya wankers” the three scattered. “Ya ok Sheila?”
“Dat not meh name” She says only for the older boy to send her a grin. “Ya look crazy ya know dat”
“What’s ya name then?”
“Desiree Marie LeBeau” she says proudly. “An’ ya Izzy Oui?”
“What does Oui mean?”
“it mean yes”
“Then..eh Oui” he tells her and sends her into a fit of giggles as he uses the French word. “Not nice to laugh at people Doll..”
“Doll?”
“Aye..ya look like a doll”
“Ah have lotsa doll at home, dey really pretty.”
“So are ya” he tells her grinning.
“Merci” she says
“That means?”
“Thank ya!” she tells him.
“Oui means Aye and Merci means thank ya?” Desi nods. “Ya got a weird language Doll”
“It not weird!” She tells him “An’ ya da one wit da funny talk” she points out. “Where ya from?”
“Oz”
“Dats where Dorothy go..”
“Not that Oz. Australia”
“Where’s dat?
“Long way”
“How long?”
“Don’t know”
“Ya should”
When Izzy pulled away from her he found tears streaming down her cheeks, it was the first ones he had seen since the night they had spoken about breaking up. He wiped the tears away from her face and smiled at her. “It’s gonna be ok Doll”
“Izzy ah don’ wanna go...ah wanna stay ‘ere, ah don’ wanna go” She says breaking down finally. He pulled her into the hug again and shut his eyes, trying his best to be the strong one. “Ah wanna stay ‘ere wit’ ya Izzy, Ah don’ wanna go nowhere”
“Flight 175 to New Orleans is now boarding”
“Doll..”
“Izzy Ah don’ wanna go”
“Yer gonna be back Doll, and then it’ll be like old times” he says to her. “Ya have to go, ya could get hurt if ya don’t”
“Desi, sugah ya gotta go board the plane.” Tears spilt down her face and Remy shut his eyes seeing her like this. Rogue suddenly felt like she had made a mistake in agreeing to this and Logan was about to cancel the whole plan.
“Petite, we’ll call promise ya” He says hugging her again. Rogue took her into her arms next and held her there for several seconds. And then she went and handed her ticket in, looking back once more.
“Doll!” Izzy yelled. “Best Friends Forever” he told her and borught a small smile to her face.
“Best Friends Izzy, F’r eva!” She yelled back before disappearing down the jet way.
“B’jour M’sieur John” She said and hugged him quickly.
“He’s upstairs getting ready”
“Merci” she says and takes off, dropping her bag on the couch like it was her house. “Izzy” she says walking into the room. “Oh meh gawd Izzy not ’gain” The ten year old said shaking her head. Izzy was standing in front of the mirror flexing his muscles, which now he actually had.
“G’day Doll!” He says and goes and kisses her cheek.
Desiree sat down in her seat and opened the lift of the window. She looked out and saw the four of them still at the window and put her hand up, Izzy put his up too. Silent tears fell down her face and she didn’t move her hand until the were up in the sky, then she clenched her fist together and almost let out a scream, yet she didn’t.
“Doll, Doll, c’mon” Izzy says practically dragging her out of the cafeteria. “Doll calm down” He tells her cupping her face with his hands. Tears begin to spill down her face and he pulls her in for a hug. “Its ok Doll, they wont mess with ya”
“Dey messed wit’ meh Iz, Ah’m sick of it, ah don’ wear meh glasses cuz ah don’ wanna hide behind dim…but when dey say it Iz, ah can feel dat hatred an’..ah can’t always control it, ah can’t keep what dey feel out of meh Iz” She tells him. He pulls away and rest his forehead on hers.
“Doll…do ya remember what Izzy tell ya?” She nods “Best friends forever right?” She nods “Through thick and thin, good or bad, no matter..”
“Da distance near or far we gonna be dere together no matter what” She finishes shutting her eyes. He lifts her chin up and they open again.
“I mean that Doll” He tells her. “I promise”
“Ah do t’ Izzy, Ah do t’ “ she tells him and he wipes her tears away from her cheeks. “Merci”
“Best Friends Foreva Izzy…Foreva” She whispers leaning her head against the back of the seat and shutting her eyes.
