The days went by really fast and turned to weeks, then months. Still, Stiles' dad was nowhere to be seen. The police have been on his trail but to no avail. He had left a voicemail once, apologizing to Stiles' mum and telling her to move on without him. He talked about how sorry he was for bringing her pain, but he didn't say one word about his sons, probably didn't consider them as his sons anymore.

Stiles didn't really care, because his father had never really been around for anything. He only provided money when needed, and he feels it would be better with his father gone. He had never seen his mother look so happy in years, and Kyle visited most weekends, sometimes bringing his boyfriend with him. He had introduced Alex to his mum and she was really okay with it. In fact, she had turned Alex to her third son. He was really happy the way his life was going at the moment.

Alicia and her mum had left town. Before she left, she had apologized to Simon and Alex, not directly, because even with all, she was still too proud to face them and say she was sorry. She wrote a letter to them, sending them a sincere apology. She had told Stiles when they had met, just the night before she would leave, that she was going to start a new life in another town with her mother. No one knows where they moved to and no one has heard from them since then.

Although, Simon's family had taken the news of his sexuality well, they were still adjusting to him dating Damon, especially when Simon dad had walked in at a time when he shouldn't have. He had called them to his office and had given an hour's speech on the importance of condom. After that, Simon had suggested they always did it in Damon's house.

And to Damon, his parents were and still remained absent, only visiting only once in a blue moon and writing big cheques as an apology to Damon. He didn't really care, because he knows they love him and he was fine with that. Simon's family had welcomed him with open arms and the twins were just adorable. Though, Simon's dad scared Damon sometimes, that he couldn't kiss Simon in his midst. When he had dinner with them, he was expected to have his hands on the table at all times, this was due to an incident that happened once.

Alex's father was still working on the whereabouts of Stiles' dad, Michael. Even with the hate he held in his heart for Michael, he never shared it with Stiles. They had gotten along and sometimes watched football matches together. Times like this, Alex would always go help his mum in the kitchen. He was one of those few guys that didn't find interest in people chasing balls.

Caroline had been taken away to a mental institute. Her situation had gotten a lot more worse than it was during their stay in South Carolina. She was to remain there till the doctors saw some improvement in her behaviour. Even with the best lawyers, her father couldn't help her, and he himself had to agree that she needed help.

"Hey, where have you been?" Damon said as Simon took his shirt off, climbing the bed to come cuddle in his chest. He was sitting on the bed, resting on the comforter as he typed away in his computer. Simon didn't want to disturb him since he was working, but that didn't stop him from wrapping himself around Damon's body. "I tried calling you, your line was switched off."

"Sorry, my battery died. Today is Alex and Stiles one year anniversary...and he needed me to go same get some new clothes for him. I'm so tired," Giving a loud yawn. He snuggled deeper into Damon's side, breathing in his scent. "You smell nice Damon," Simon muttered sleepily.

"You smell better," He replied and laid a kiss on his head.

"When are you going to be done with what you're working on?" Simon asked, pulling gently at his buttons.

"Simon." Damon laughed. "I thought you said you were tired." Simon didn't give him a reply, just chewed at the side of Damon's tummy, where his mouth could reach. Remembering something Damon paused what he was doing, looking down at Simon who was already looking ready to sleep. "Are you ready to open yours?" Simon shook my head immediately. He was scared Damon and I wouldn't get the same school and then we would have to go separate ways. "Come on Simon, you can do this."

"Yeah, but what if you forget about me and move on? Find another guy, way cuter than I am. I don't like this." He pouted. "I really don't want us attending separate college Damon."

"Don't worry about that Simon, we won't." He closed his laptop and placed it on the bedside table beside him, going back to face Simon. "Simon, you're the only one who has my heart. Believe me, I love you more than you could even begin to fathom."

"I love you too Damon." I leaned up to give him a quick kiss. "OK, I'm ready." I giggled. "Let's open and see our faith."

The End.

~~~

It's been a year since this book was completed, so I decided that I finally edited it. I've done most part of the editing.

The book was previously at 36,000 words and I've expanded it to 50,000. It's still the same story, just added more words to help with the description and narrative. I mean, it has gotten lot of views, the least I could do is edit it.

There are still few errors here and there, but I'm currently editing and will be done by the end of the week.

Thanks to everyone who read the book, I'm grateful.
