This is it guys, the last chapter :( Let me just say that I appreciate every single review you guys have sent for this, it was you that keep me writing whenever I thought I stuck on what should happen next :) Like I've said in previous chapters, I have some ideas for a sequel but right now I'm not completely sure when or if I will post one, I have so many different ideas rolling through my mind and I want to be sure I can give you guys the best sequel I possibly can! Enough rambling from me for now, let's get to the chapter! :D

Jerome's POV

As I suddenly returned to the reality I was in, Fabian clearly had something important to tell me about because once I sat down to eat my cereal he expressed the look that only he gets when he's come to figuring something out. Once breakfast was done and everyone started to head to school for the day, Fabian pulled me aside as if waiting a single second longer was going to kill him.

"What is it Rutter, you look as if you're going to explode!" I exclaimed wanting to do just about anything I could think of to calm the brunette down.

"I figured the pen out last night Jerome..and I think I know just the way to get you back to the future." Fabian replied excitedly.

"Dude are you serious..how?"

"Come on and I'll show you."

The moment we entered his and Eddie's bedroom door, I was stunned to see a whirling hole appear within the air of the room.

"H-How.." I stuttered in disbelief.

"Turns out the pen can be used to communicate with others in different time periods.." explained Fabian as if it was no big deal.

"Alright then..you're one smart cookie Fabian." I admitted as I looked at the hole in awe.

"So I've been told."

"Jerome we have to leave for school.." Mara barged in as she too stared at the portal in shock. "What's g-going on here?"

"You know that show I mentioned to you about time travel?" I responded not knowing what else to say as Mara nodded. "Well..it wasn't from a television show."

"So you are the future Jerome stuck here in 2013?"

"Uhh..basically, I'm so sorry Mara I didn't know how to explain.." I started but Mara interrupted my speech with a meaningful kiss on the lips.

"How can I be mad at you Jerome, you came here for a reason and I respect and love you for that."

"I love you too Mara." I blurted out as Fabian warned us the portal would only last so much longer.

"See you soon Jerome." Mara responded sweetly as she embraced me for what felt like an eternity that /i didn't want to ever end.

And after a thank you to Fabian and a heartfelt farewell to Mara, I was whisked back to the unknown future that was awaiting my arrival.

"Thank goodness Jerome, I thought we lost you!" Nina cried as I walked back into the lab where the time machine was set up. "What happened?"

"I did what I needed to, thanks you guys." I answered honestly.

"Of course." Fabian replied as if he already knew what had taken place in my absence. "I told you that pen would come in handy."

"What are you talking about Fabian?" asked Nina curiously.

"Oh nothing, just messing with you Nina." I answered smoothly as Fabian showed a small grin and as I made my way out of their lab I tossed Fabian back the pen I never would have guessed would have saved me from being stuck not knowing if Mara and I were to ever fix the relationship we worked so hard for.

As I drove back to my apartment, I couldn't help but notice how things around me didn't seem to change as I thought they would, which got me wondering if the whole trip to the past even did anything for the future. But just as I thought all my hopes were lost in my mind, I'll never forget what I walked into once I opened the door to my apartment.

"I told you I'd see you soon." Mara replied with a smile as she stood up from the chair she was sitting in to enjoy the morning paper and kissed me as if I never left her sights.

"That you did Mara, that you did." I spoke up as we soon were discussing what we should do together for the day ahead of us.

That's all folks! :) What do you guys think of the ending? I think it's pretty good considering I might be creating a sequel depending on ideas and if I have enough time to do it as well as I would like :) I'd love to hear what suggestions you might have for the sequel! I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I loved to write it and until next time..bye guys :D
