Hello friends, no, I'm not dead! I'm so so sorry that this took literally months. I've just been going through a rough time and every time I tried to write, I just shut down. But here it is the last chapter/epilogue! Enjoy!
                          
3rd person POV
                          
It had been 5 years now since the day Cyrus Goodman had passed. 5 long years for anyone that knew him. By now classes had gone into full swing again, and the group had gotten adjusted to the way things were going to be now.
                          
Of course, they still missed him more than they would care to admit, but they had accepted it. 
                          
Even Tj, but we'll get to him later.

Amber became am an elementary school teacher and she loves her job. As for Andi she recently started working at the local art workshop with Walker.
                          
The day that Andi graduated from Shadyside University was the day Amber proposed. They wanted to wait until they were both out of college, and Amber, being a year older, took the whole year to make sure everything was perfect. 
                          
After the ceremony was over Amber brought Andi back to the park where they first met, back when both of them were obsessed with Jonah Beck. Oh, how the tables have turned. 
                          
When they arrived Andi saw how Amber set up thousands of rose petals in the shape of a heart with everyone standing around it. 
                          
Amber led Andi into the center and told her just to look at the sky. When she did look up she saw a skywriter painting the question across the sky. She looked back down to see Amber down on one knee with the most beautiful ring she'd ever seen. 
                          
"YES" 
                          
Their wedding was planned for 3 months and 10 days from today, and everyone was excitedly awaiting the day.

Buffy and Marty were still going strong. In fact, both Marty and Buffy were planning to propose to each other. It's almost like a competition to see who's going to do it faster. 
                          
As everyone else knew besides them, bets were placed. 
                          
It was enjoyable for everyone. When Marty and Buffy find out, they were probably going to be given hell for it, but they didn't care. It was worth it
                          
Buffy and Marty are both high school gym teachers.

Walker and Jonah are still together, but they aren't thinking about marriage any time soon. Neither of them are ready for that, and they don't want to ruin what they have for anything.
                          
The duo did move in with each other a few weeks after graduation, though. It was a small 2 bedroom apartment, as they didn't really need the space. It was enough for now. 
                          
Jonah started working at The Red Rooster with Bowie and Walker works at the art shop with Andi.

The unlikely pair, Reed and Iris. The couple started talking a lot during Andi and Amber's engagement. From there they talked for hours on end, until they became an item after a month of their friends trying to convince them to date, and they couldn't be happier.
                          
Iris is in Med school earning her degree so she can become a pediatrician and Reed is working towards becoming a social worker.

Kira never became a better person and everyone still hates her to this day. She's going to law school.

And back to our golden boy Tj. Tj realized that Cyrus just would've wanted Tj to be happy, so Tj tried to be as happy as possible. It was hard without Cyrus, but he did as well as he could. He still went to his one and only love's grave every day, but he was happy to do it.
                          
Tj hasn't found anyone else yet, and maybe he never will, but he doesn't care. He has the greatest joy in his life since Cyrus. 

                          
A daughter.
                          
Now you may be wondering how this happened. Well, Tj's a highschool English teacher now, and he loves the kids he works with. He's always loved reading and writing. One day Tj was getting ready to leave after his 9th-period class when one of his students, Allie, came up to him. 
                          
"M-Mr. Kippen," she quivered. Tj could tell something was wrong.
                          
"Hey what's up, Al," Tj liked to be informal with his students, as to make them more comfortable with him.
                          
"I-I need help, m-m-my parents kicked me out,"
                          
Hearing her say those words brought back a flood of memories to him.
                          
"I just don't know what to do, a-and I trust you, and I k-know that you support people like me," she rushed out before she started sobbing. 
                          
"Hey hey hey," he walked over to her "you are no different, ok? Someone very important to me taught me that lesson. You should never be afraid to be who you are. If your shitty excuse for parents can't accept you for being you, then screw them!" 
                          
Allie looked up at her teacher. 
                          
"A-are you-"
                          
"Gay?" He finished her sentence. "Yes, very, and so is my sister. Our parents kicked both of us out, but the love of my life showed me that I didn't need them,"
                          
"Oh, I thought you weren't married," she seemed to be calming down a lot, so Tj kept talking. 
                          
"Well, I'm not," 
                          
The girl looked up in confusion. 
                          
"He died a few years ago, but that's a story for another time. Come on let's go talk to Principal Figgins, (Where're my gleeks at) and we'll see what we can do."
                          
"Ok,"
                          
And then a little while later Tj was able to foster the 15-year-old, and he's planning on adopting her as a surprise for her birthday.
                          
Now when Tj goes to Cyrus's grave after school,
                          
He doesn't have to go alone.
