Epilogue
It's been a month since I've woken up from my coma, and life has gone back to normal, well as normal as it can be. School finished yesterday, I finally have my cast off not to mention a weird tan line on my arms from it, and let's not forget yesterday there was a trial for Eiichi, my first time seeing him since he tried to kill me. If looks could kill, I'd probably be dead right now.
There are still more trials to go for him not to mention Cora and Andjela that are going to restart in September after summer vacation. The only thing I plan to do this summer is start working again at the hospital, spend as much time as I can with Oli, and have time for Jason. I think the most surprising thing out of all this is the friendship I built with Natalia not to mention Camryn.
A couple of days after I woke up Camryn came to visit me and she was bawling that her new friend almost died twice. She's changed, well not really. She still talks a lot and doesn't have a filter sometimes but now she knows what to ask and when to ask or in other words, she has more social manners than before.
And Haruto, he's started to move on. He met a girl at the coffee shop inside the hospital and from what he told me they seem to be hitting it off. I'm happy he's able to put his relationship with Cora behind him. I think he felt guilty for a bit thinking whatever happened with me was his fault since he broke up with her but I gave him a good smack to the head. He made the right decision of leaving her and everything that she did after that falls onto her and her alone. I'm broken out of my train of thought when I hear my name being called.
"Tori, Uncle said he's going to take the box by the door to the car," Oli calls out to me.
"Tell him to be careful with that, it has glass inside," I shout back. Today is finally the day I'm leaving my small one-bedroom apartment and moving in with Jason and Oli. If Jason had his way, I would have moved in weeks ago but I wanted to organize my things instead of having someone else do it for me.
"Tori, are you staying with us forever?" Oli questions as he walks into my room and sits beside me on the floor.
"I am, are you excited?" I ask, pausing in folding my clothes.
"I am, it's like a sleepover every day," he cheers.
"I know right, we'll have so much fun together," I tell him, moving my arms to wrap around him and squeezing him against my side.
"I love you so much Tori," he says moving to hug me back. "I love you more than Uncle."
"Don't let him hear that, he's going to be jealous," I chuckle.
"Too late, I already heard," a voice says from behind us. We turn to see Jason standing behind us, an amused look on his face.
"Uncle, you're my Uncle. Tori is my Aunt. You two are different," Oli declares. "Can I call you Aunt?" I look at Jason in surprise before looking back at Oli.
"Is it okay for him to call me that?" I ask Jason while Oli looks at the two of us in confusion.
"So long as you're okay with it. I'm okay with it," he replies.
"Me too," I say in a soft voice as I thread my fingers through Oli's hair. "I'd be happy to be your Aunt," I tell him as I kiss his head softly. He gives me another tight hug as Jason walks towards us.
"Is this the last of your things?" he questions looking at the two boxes filled with clothes.
"Yeah, tomorrow we can come back to take care of the rest," I say nodding my head.
"Alright, then let's get going," he tells me as he picks both of them up. I stand up, Oli's hand in mine as we walk out of my old room to the door. I look back at the place I called home for the last seven years, a little sad I'm leaving but I know I'm moving onto better things.
"What do you want to do when we get home?" I ask Oli as we walk towards the car.
"Go to the park please?" he asks.
"You up for having some fun in the sun?" I ask Jason as I unlock the doors and trunk.
"With you guys, all the time," he answers as he shuts the trunk. I hand him his keys before opening the back door for Oli.
"I'm thinking of starting back at the hospital next week," I tell him as he pulls out of the building.
"You're feeling okay to go back?" he questions as he glances over at me.
"Yeah, I'll try to see if I can switch my on-call shifts from the night to the morning instead. I'd probably have to ask Charlotte to babysit but I'd rather spend the rest of the day with you two instead of coming home and sleeping the day away," I reason.
"Charlotte would be cool with it and you wouldn't have to pick him right away when you're done, you can take a nap before going for him," he tells me as he turns down the street to the house.
"Oh I will be definitely be doing that," I tell him as he turns into the driveway.
"Do you want to finish unpacking now or tomorrow?" he questions as he turns off the engine.
"Now, the less work we have tomorrow, the better," I say to him as I unlock the door.
"I want to help to Aunt Tori," Oli says, popping his head between the two headrests.
"You can be my little helper while your uncle carries the heavy boxes inside, we'll cheer him on," I chuckle as I step out and open his door.
"Yeah, leave the hard work for me," Jason says sarcastically as he goes to the trunk.
"Hey, I'm just saving my energy for when I have to unpack everything," I say as I walk to the front door with Oli running in front of me. I put my key in turning the lock and opening it, and I just take in this moment right now. I feel arms wrap around my waist and I turn around only to be met with a kiss. His lips linger on mine for a couple of seconds before he pulls back, looking at me as his lips quirk up in a small smirk.
"Welcome home sweetheart," Jason says with a smirk before letting go of me to go back and get my things. A small chuckle escapes my lips as I head inside to where Oli is calling for me. Yeah, this is home.

A/N That's all folks. No jokes, it's actually done and even I can't believe it's done, it's too soon right? Things were coming to an end and I know this was much shorter than T.E.C but ever since I started this I had a gut feeling it'd be a couple of chapters less than the first. At the moment I'm satisfied with the epilogue but I feel at a later date, I might change it up and add some more things.
Head on over to the bonus chapters and my last author's note and thank you so much for reading!
