If These Scars Could Speak

Epilogue: Sacred

ONE MONTH LATER

Sunset looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Nothing like having a picnic in the park," she said.

"Yeah," Twilight answered. "And the weather's perfect, too. It's sunny, we have clear skies, and it's not too hot."

"Where's Wallflower?" Rarity asked. "She said she'd be here, right?"

Sunset felt her phone vibrate. She took it out of her pocket and saw a text from Wallflower.

'I just pulled into the parking lot. Therapy session ran a bit long today.'

"She said she just arrived," Sunset said, looking at Rarity. "Her therapy session ran a little long."

As she finished talking, she heard a car door close. She looked up and saw a familiar green-haired girl carrying a cooler walking up to their picnic spot.

"Hi, guys!" Wallflower said, setting her cooler down. The group greeted her with smiles and waves.

"Hi, Wallflower!" Sunset said. "I got your text. How was your session today?"

"Pretty good," Wallflower said, sitting down on the picnic blanket. "My therapist is phenomenal. And even though it's only been a month since I almost ended everything, I can already see a huge difference. Between him giving me helpful advice, the antidepressants I've been taking, and the fact that I'm surrounded by family and friends who want nothing but the best for me, I feel complete. I've never been weighing anybody down. I've only been lifting them up."

"That's great news!" Rainbow said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Not only that," Wallflower said. "I've been listening to this band another friend of mine introduced me to. And that's been helping me out a lot, too. They're called Citizen Soldier, and their music is aimed at people with mental disorders like me.

"Wow," Fluttershy said. "That's great."

"They speak from experience. Literally. Their lead singer attempted suicide in 2015," Wallflower said.

"Dang," Rainbow said.

"I know," Wallflower said.

"Well, just remember, if ya ever start to feel down, just let somebody know, alright?" Applejack said.

"I will, AJ," Wallflower said. "And I know I've said this a lot but I'm going to say it again. Thank you guys so much. If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead right now. But here I am. And I'm going to make every second count because life is beautiful. Better yet, life is sacred."

Sunset smiled as she placed her hand on Wallflower's shoulder.

"That it is, my friend," she said. "That it is."

Wallflower took her phone out of her pocket, turned the volume up to max, and opened her music app.

"So, as I said before, Citizen Soldier is really good," she said, selecting a song. "Here's one of my favorite songs."

THE END
