The Visions Left Inside Me Are Slowly Fading

Epilogue:
**Ember’s POV**
It had been 5 years since that night, the night when Landon had been orphaned by that psychopath. Every year on this day and on Savannah and Jimmy’s birthdays, we all gather at the gravesite. Landon was now 8 years old, and every day he asked us for stories of his parents. We had legally adopted Landon but hadn’t taken his last name away from him. It was one of the many things he had left of Jimmy, but one of the only things that he had left that Savannah had given him.

Brian and I are now married and we have 3 boys and one girl, Landon, Damon, Kip, and Savannah. Landon and Damon bonded over their matching middle names; they loved playing with Owen and Lyric and let me tell you, those boys were crazy. Matt and Simone were pregnant with baby number 3 which was due right around Savannah’s birthday.

Charlotte and Owen were now 6 and were in kindergarten, they annoyed the hell out of each other like siblings often do, but if anyone tried to mess with the other, they always had their backs. They reminded me of Matt and myself as kids.

Johnny was now engaged to be married to a beautiful woman named Lacey, they’d met about 5 years ago, just a few months after Savannah’s death. Ironically Lacey had met Johnny at a Lakers game, he had accidentally spilt his beer on her and offered to buy her a drink to make up for it. They are a very happy, beautiful couple.

Zacky and Tennessee were married, they now had Lyric and Alexandria. They lived right across the street from Matt, Simone, Brian, and I.

Every day I thought of Savannah, I tried to channel her and Jimmy on a daily basis to try and raise Landon the way they believed Brian and I would. He went to the best school along with the other guy’s kids. We tried to give him the life that they would have wanted for him.

As I listened to all the kids play in the living room, I sat next to Brian in the kitchen and kissed him gently. I silently thanked Savannah and Jimmy for giving me a beautiful baby boy that was so much like them that I would never fully lose either of them. None of us would and that’s the way it will be. Always. FoREVer.
