Alternative Ending: Megan Feller and Becca Gulland

I gave him the directions, the aisle S-U, I saw him walking up to that aisle like he knew exactly what he was looking for. I couldn't breathe, I've only felt this way once before.

I tuck into the aisle of P-R. I don't know if I should cry or smile. I don't know how to feel, or react. Should I even show my face at this point? I've lived my whole life as a lie. I felt as if I had nothing to lose. I start to feel like I should just dip out of the store, but right before I could move I felt a hand on my shoulder, a warm muscular hand. I slowly turned not knowing what I should feel. Olly's face, his perfect, flawless, lovable face is right there, his half smile just sitting on his face, kinda like how I pictured the seashells on a beach. He grabs my hand and pulls me into his chest, I'm still in shock. I pull away and was about to talk but the words don't come out right. My words come out as "Ihrbe suihen Ifjhi" He just giggles and says I missed you Mads. I finally find my words to say I love you Olly. He kisses my forehead and grabs my hand as we walk out of the old bookstore, I catch him up on my story about how my mother lied. He catches me up on how his mother finally made the decision to leave his dad. We walk and talk for hours and then agree that we will stay together, and we will live half way between my mother and his, and include my mother in every holiday and that we will talk everyday.
