Across The Stars

Chapter 15: ...an unexpected ending and a truth that still beats in our hearts.

It's just right. It's just different... It's just how things need to be, for now.

 

~Kim's P.o.V.~

~three hours later...~

We'd waited...and waited...and waited. While Maxine typed and typed...and typed. And she finally said,"I'm done!" I jumped off the couch and walked up behind her, squeezing her shoulder slightly. InuYasha sat in the window, smiling,"I'm sure you made the right choice..." he said to her. Jake, Jon, Mayank and Jack, along with Seto Kaiba and Will Turner gathered around like little kids waiting for a story. "Well...aren't you going to read it?" I asked breathlessly. "No...InuYasha will," she said. InuYasha perked a brow and walked up beside me, starting to read...

"A story...can never be changed. It's written and over and will always be there. Even if someone tries to throw it away...the story will last.

That's what needed to be learned.

Even if the story was just a dream...it can never change.

Even if the story is still what you dream about at night. It's still unchangeable. It's still the story that keeps us together..."

I smiled to myself, thinking how true it was. But as I turned to look at Maxine, our eyes just sort of met and I heard her whisper,"It's time to let go..."

 

I snapped awake and rolled out of bed, almost falling, very groggily.

My roommate was out of the dorm already and my computer was going haywire. It was Maxine and Meg, IM'ing back and forth, with me in my awayness somehow caught in the middle. I looked at myself in the mirror of the bathroom after getting myself off the floor and smiled slightly.

I was 19 years old.

It was February of 2006.

Things were normal.

Sorta.

~Meg's P.o.V.~

~a few hours later...~

"So I had the weirdest dream ever, eh?" Kim finished.

I didn't bother saying that mine was more or less the same. I just said,"I...am running out of change and that perverted old man is looking at me, Kimmerz."

"Boot him in the head!" Max said on the other line. I'd managed to scrape enough together to do a three way call.

"Please insert 1 dollar for the next minute..." the teletronic voice thingy majigger thing said.

"Shall we hang up?" Kim suggested. "Yea, I should go anyway guys, the family should be home soon..." Max replied.

"Bye, love you guys," I said and hung up after a few more moments of us saying pointless things and sending hearts through the phone.

And I rode my bike home, thinking about the dream. It had been...odd.

And Max and Kim had had the same one.

Which was odder.

But that was us.

For now, that's how things were. Max had run away and was lucky to still be talking to us, not to mention at home and alive.

Sarah and I still weren't talking, I wasn't sure if we would. I think Maxine had plans to make us talk, even with her being in New Mexico and such...

But for now, this is how things were. Just...normal. But odd.

~Maxine's P.o.V.~

I cleared the internet history and went to my room and looked at my story from last night. I didn't even remember typing it.

A story...can never be changed. It's written and over and will always be there. Even if someone tries to throw it away...the story will last.

That's what needed to be learned.

Even if the story was just a dream...it can never change.

Even if the story is still what you dream about at night. It's still unchangeable. It's still the story that keeps us together..."

I smiled though, thinking about it.

Things would be different, whether I stayed or went to live with my dad. But things would be different forever.

There was no more Jake. There was no more...nothing anymore.

Just this oddness. And these dreams.

There was...the fact that my mother was wrong. That I really did have those friends. Kim and Meg... Sarah was out of it for now, I hope not forever.

But for now, things would be different.

The thing that wouldn't change would be the stories. The truth that those two were some of the best friends I'd had.

It was just right, knowing that.

Just different, just right.

Just for now.

 

Epilogue:

Maxine Lisa was (and is) 15 years old and currently living with her brother and mother. Since current events of November, her and Jake are no longer together.

When she has the chance, she still says hello to Meg and Kim when she can.

Kimberley Jean is currently at college and recently turned 19 years old. Her and Jonathon are still together, pretty much and she still hopes to see him in Florida.

Meaghan Ashley Elizabeth, with her spiffy long name, is 16 years old. She's still awesome, haha. She works hard at school and such and things are going steadily well for her. She hasn't talked to "her" Jack in awhile...

Sarah Ashley is...away. She has her own issues to deal with and someday maybe...

 

We'll all talk again...

 

We all still talk, although, with the "events of November" Kim and Max still seem to be different with one another.

Meg is the ice breaker though between them.

And Sarah is just away... we all miss her and just hope she knows what she's doing.

 

Maybe someday...this ending will make sense, even if it was a bit crappy.

 

Till next time...
