Wow. Look at that list!! It’s like…heaven!! Er…okay. Here’s the epilogue. I didn’t want to make it TOO cliché, but I also love stories that make you smile and maybe go “aww” at the end.

Chapter 30

After Dan’s arrest, everything was smooth sailing. He was taken to jail, for at least 30 years.

And when he’s released, if he ever comes within 15 yards of me, I’m allowed to call the police. Haha, this little rule will make me want to go search for him and stand within 15 yards, just so I can call them.

Hehe.

My mom got an excellent job of teaching Japanese in a nearby private school. The pay’s alright, but combined with what I’m earning, we’re pretty set in the money department.

You’re wondering about Shaun?

Oh, I had to dump him.

….Just kidding!! I would never dump him. I mean, he did win the Olympics after all. I wonder if you guys saw me screaming on the side.

So yes, a year has passed and we’re still dating. I never would have thought we could have kept it going, but we managed somehow. We’ve been on a few tours together, mainly because we’ve asked the companies that sponsor us if we can tour together.

Of course they say yes. They love us! Hah, just kidding.

Oh, I have to tell you about the day after Shaun woke up with cream in his hair, and marker on his face.

After trying to scrub off the marker furiously, he stalked out of the bathroom with a bright red face. You could still see the marker clearly, although it was extremely faded.

“T.J. I can’t go OUT like this!!” he had yelled at me.

Of course, me being his little angel, I just laughed at him and told him to suck it up.

So in the end, he finally had to meet the team, where of course, they laughed their asses off. They all congratulated me on this little victory, especially Seven and Jacobs.

You want to know something that’s even more funny though?

Later that day, we had a skate show, and of course photographers were there. So when they were taking pictures of Shaun, he covered his face and ran away to the bus. Nonetheless, a few pictures managed to make it into the magazine, Skateboarding.

Let me tell you, when Shaun saw those pictures a few weeks later, he was blushing for at least 3 hours straight. He finally forced me write a letter to the magazine, telling him what happened.

Can you talk about someone being vain? Hmph. I hate writing letters.

So what else is there? To tell you the truth, nothing really. Jake and Sarah finally got together and we’ve gone on a few double dates with each other.

I’ve stayed in touch with the other guys on the tour also. Mainly Seven, Ryan, Danny, Jake, and Jacobs.

And there’s also the small fact of me and Shaun living on opposite sides of the United States. Me in Pennsylvania, and him in California.

But haven’t you heard? He’s moving out of his family house, since it’s started to become a victim to fan girls who saw his Cribs episode on MTV.

And he has 4 other houses that he owns, so of course it’s ALL cool. But I mean, come on, FOUR houses?

I managed to convince him to sell one and use the money for a better cause. I mean, a guy can only be in one house at a time!

No matter how conceited or vain he is, I know who and how he really is, and that’s why I love him.

Oops. Did I just say I love him? Lately, that’s been bothering me. I don’t know if I love him or not. I honestly can’t tell. I guess time will tell.

So yes, one of Shaun’s houses is in Philadelphia, a 30-minute drive from mine. Of course, he’s not always in it, but when he’s not working, he tries to stay there. And I can travel as well.

So it’s December now and almost Christmas. I’m Christmas shopping and to tell you the truth, I suck at it. I have no idea what to get Shaun. Here’s my list:

Mom – new pair of knitting needles, new yarn, a few DVD’s that I know she loves, a really nice pair of earrings, and a $100 gift certificate to Borders

(Hey I’m earning money now! I can spend as much as I want!)

Sarah – DVD’s, a pair of aviator sunglasses I’m sure she’ll love, and a cute skate shirt

Jake – a pair of sunglasses that would look good when he’s on the beach surfing, a t-shirt that says, “I’m a golden boy and I know it”

Jacobs – the goofiest looking beanie visor I could find. It’s striped and there’s a ridiculously funny looking deer on it. I know he’ll manage to make it look awesome. I’m pretty sure he’ll like it.

Seven – his favorite DVD’s, yes, I had help from Shaun

Ryan – a big poster of himself, with lots of girls messages and signatures. Some of the messages were like, “Have sex with me Ryan!!” It cracked me up. And also something actually serious, I got him a cool looking t-shirt and hoodie.

Danny – a few CD’s and a poster of Keira Knightley, his favorite actress.

Shaun - …?

Dan – a fucking punch in the face.

Just kidding about the last one.

But seriously, I have NO idea what to get Shaun. I can’t get him something stupid. So far, the ideas I’ve had are tickets to a Metallica concert, or something lame, like DVD’s.

As I’m strolling through the streets of Philadelphia, window shopping and wondering what to get Shaun, I see a few guy staring at me.

Oh yeah, did I mention I’m a bit famous now? I mean, after going public with Shaun, and then I’ve won every competition I’ve competed in. I couldn’t go to the Olympics for snowboarding however, because I had sprained my ankle right before tryouts.

Let me tell you, I was NOT happy.

But I went to support Shaun and the rest of the US team.

Anyway, I see the guys staring at me and I give them a small smile. One of plucks up the courage to walk up to me and ask,

“Are you T-“

I cut him off by nodding my head and smiling at him cheerfully.

His eyes widen and the rest of the guys behind him spring up and crowd around me. They ask for my signature, which I give to them.

Hm…I wonder if they know what I should get Shaun.

“Hey guys, so I need your advice,” I say to them.

They grin and eagerly await my question.

“So, you know that I’ve been dating Shaun White right?” I ask, just to make sure.

They nod their heads.

“Do you guys know what I should get him for Christmas?” I ask.

They look at each other, clearly thrown off by the question.

One of the guy scratches his head in confusion and says,

“Er… uh… I’m sorry I can’t think of anything really… I’m not really good in that area of expertise.”

I laugh and nod my head.

“Oh, that’s fine, I was just wondering. I don’t really know what to get him,” I reassure him.

The guys all shrug and stand back. I tell them,

“Well guys, I must get back to shopping, as much as I hate it, but hopefully you’ll keep on rocking up the house!”

They whoop and as I walk away, one of them daringly asks,

“What’s your number?”

I laugh and turn around, walking backwards.

“Sorry gents, can’t tell you! You probably know why also…publicity shit. Hope to see you guys later though! Join as many competitions as possible, and you might be skating right beside me someday!”

They laugh and head in the other direction.

My stomach growls and I turn to look for a restaurant.

Suddenly, an idea pops into my head.

2 Weeks Later

“So wudjageme?” Shaun eagerly asks.

“What? Was that even English?” I ask laughing.

He grins and sarcastically enunciates,

“So What DID YOUU Get MEEE?”

I roll my eyes and toss him a present casually.

He grins in delight and proceeds to rip off the wrapping.

He looks at my presents in confusion, and the reads them.

Surprise dawns on his face and he starts to grin widely.

So a month ago, he was complaining about how McDonalds and Wendy’s didn’t want to sponsor him. Apparently, that’s ALL he wanted to be sponsored by.

Yeah right. Ha.

But anyway, I managed to talk to the companies, er…at least my agent did, and I finally managed to get him the sponsorships. In addition to that, I also got him tickets to a Metallica concert, and a few other small things like DVD’s and such.

He laughs happily and yells,

“FREE MCDONALDS AND WENDY’S FOR LIFE!!!!”

I grin and shake my head at his childish antics. He turns to look at me and surprises me by giving me a full on, passionate kiss. It slowly turns into a gentle and light kiss.

When we break apart, he reaches into his bag and pulls out a box with my name on it.

I take it from his hands and untie the ribbon.

Before I take off the wrapping paper, he catches my hands and he says uncertainly,

“Uh, I wasn’t sure what to get you. This is all I could think of.”

“I’m sure whatever it is, it’ll be perfect,” I respond to his worried face.

He watches me nervously as I unwrap the box to see a jewelry box.

I slowly open the box to see a gorgeous diamond necklace lying on a soft, silk blue background.

I pick it up and look closely. It’s in the shape of two skateboards. There’s an engraving, which I read.

“I love you.”

Under that is a date that I recognize. 10.15.05. The day he asked me to be his official girlfriend.

I look at him and ask,

“Do you?”

He knows what I mean. Does he love me?

He looks at me squarely and says,

“Yes.”

I look back at him and in my head, I can finally tell what my decision is for these past few weeks of uncertainty. I realize that I love him too.

He gives me a kiss and whispers,

“I love you Taylor Justine Lee, with all my heart.”

“And I love you Shaun Roger White, with all my heart,” I whisper back.

He looks at me with uncertain eyes and says,

“You know you don’t have to say that just cuz I told you that I do. I mean I don’t want to pressure you or anyth-“

I cut him off with a kiss and say,

“As much as I know you don’t want to hear this, but I really DO love you. Sorry…”

He looks at me in shock and starts to grin.

He pulls me up to him, and we share one final kiss before I break away and put on the necklace. He quickly fastens it from behind and admires it.

“I got you a few other things, but this is the main thing,” he says.

I nod my head and smile.

I guess I found my happy ending after all.

So I don’t know what will happen from now on. I’m sure we’ll have our ups and downs, but in the end, all I know is what I feel right now.

I’ve gotten past this part of my life thanks to a certain redhead, and only time will tell what the future will hold for me.

Who knows?
