EPILOGUE

I never thought that I would finally leave the hospital. It felt like I would be in that bed forever. But two weeks later, here I was, on a plane to the ocean with my mother on the seat next to me.

My cellphone buzzed in my hand. I knew I only had a few minutes before I would have to turn it off so that the plane could take off.

Chris: I’m really gonna miss u.

I typed as fast as I could, not wanting to waste a minute.

E.J: Gonna miss you 2. Thnx 4 everything. I will write. Promise.

Chris: You better.

E.J: Lol. Yeah. ;)...
