EPILOGUE
We see the gang three months later at the beginning of fall. Robin and Billy are starting their senior year of high school. Nancy is following through with her plan to go to community college until she figures everything out- plus she’s conveniently closer to Robin that way. And Steve is working with his dad and actually not wanting to put his hand through the paper shredder to collect worker’s comp.
“Hey, dingus, pass the popcorn will ya?” Robin whisper yells. They are all crowded onto the couch at Steve and Billy’s place watching some pretentious arthouse film she picked.
“You do not get possession of the popcorn, Rob. I’m holding it hostage for making us watch this… whatever it is.”
“It was my turn to choose!”
Nancy pats her girlfriend on the shoulder. “It’s okay, babe. I think I’m starting to like it.” The other girl leans in for a kiss, but is instantly thrown off balance by Billy whacking her with a pillow.
“Stop being so gross you two,” the blond boy teased
“Like you and Steve weren’t just dry humping thirty minutes ago when Robin and I arrived.”
Robin straightened up in her seat and shot both boys an accusatory glance.
“I’m sort of regretting giving them both keys,” Steve said quietly into Billy’s ear.
“Hey we heard that!” Not quietly enough apparently.
So they’re happy. As they should be. All of them have been through pretty rough shit. And in case you were wondering the party comes over all the time and the tiny apartment the boyfriends share barely hold all of them. But they wouldn’t have it any other way.
