Pretend

Chapter 34 (Final Chapter) - The beginning of forever...

Ok so this is the FINAL chapter ahhhh! I really hope that you enjoy it! :) 

It hasn't been edited so sorry in advance for any major spelling or grammar issues!

For those of you that want to know, the paperback version will be out shortly (the next week or two). It will be available for purchase via amazon.com. When it is officially out and ready for sale I will add a chapter to this book, with all of the details about the book, the price and where you can get it, including an external link to it :) At present the paperback book is already nearly 500 pages long, way more than I thought. Initially I had decided to add three extra chapters however because of the way that the story flows I don't want to ruin it and do that and so what I will do is add extra scenes within a few chapters so that it still flow. There will also be a nice long epilogue included in the paperback version that will go 8 years into the future and show you what is going on with all of the main characters and I have to admit it is very exciting and there are some MASSIVE changes in all of their lives. Ok I'm going to stop now before I let anything slip lol Anyway enjoy....xxxxx

Chapter 34 (Final Chapter) - The beginning of forever...

6 WEEKS LATER (This is not an epilogue - the epilogue will be available in the paperback novel version only)

“Where is he? He was supposed to be here by seven,” Susan said as she kept checking to make sure that everyone in the room was in place.

“Well you did send Anthony to get him, did you really think that they would be on time?” Crystal said as everyone chuckled, in agreement.

“Don’t worry Susan, he’ll be here soon,” I said as I threw her a smile.

“Yes you’re right sweetheart. I just want things to be perfect after everything that has happened,” she said as she looked at me with sad eyes.

“It will, I promise,” I said before giving her a gentle hug.

“Well I hope that this Aiden boy is worth it, I’m missing touched by an angel for him,” Gramps said from his seat on the couch, making everyone burst out laughing.

“Sshh,” my mom tried to say as she struggled to hold in her own laughter.

“It’s his eighteenth birthday pops, he’s allowed to be late especially since he doesn’t even know about this party,” Bob joked as he looked at Gramps.

“Oh be quiet Phillip, honestly you're far too loud," Gramps said as we all burst out laughing before the sound of the front door caused us all to be quiet.

"Surprise!" Everybody screamed as Aiden stepped into the living room.

The shock on his face was hilarious as he took in what was happening around him.

"Quiet night in?" He asked sarcastically as he turned to Anthony, who had a proud smirk on his face.

"Did I say that?" He said as he burst out laughing.

"You were late!" Jess said as she slapped Anthony on the arm.

"Aww did you miss me baby?" He asked as he winked at her.

"Oh please player don't get too excited," she said as she raised her eyebrows at him.

"Yes, please don't you might give an old lady a heart attack," Grandma said, causing us all to burst into a fit of laughter.
