All right, this is it. The last chapter. Thanks to all that reviewed! It was much apreciated. Without further ado (ignoring the disclaimer, of course) here is the last chapter:

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I would love to own Paul or Jesse though...sigh

Chapter 14

We landed in a heap on my floor. Sam was sitting on my desk chair; Jesse and I were sprawled out on the floor. I immediately felt that shifter migraine coming on. I ran to the bathroom and popped in a few Advil, though it wouldn't help.

Jesse didn't have a headache, lucky little shit. I grumbled something incomprehensible. Even I didn't know what it was.

I looked at Sam, "how long have we been gone?" She twirled a piece of hair around her finger and looked out the window.

"Not long. Maybe an hour of time here. Time is a strange thing, it shouldn't be messed with."

I nodded. This meant my mom and Andy wouldn't know I was missing…

She sighed and said, "hey, I got to go…now that you're all back here and everything. See yah around," and she disappeared. I grinned at Jesse who had taken up residence on my window seat.

I sauntered over there and curled up next to him. Life was sweet. Jesse was here, alive, Paul was no longer a problem and…

Oh. Crap. I still had to break up with Dan.

That was going to be fun...

As it turned out, he wasn't too upset about breaking up. Dan, I mean. He took it really well, considering I didn't really have any grounds to break up with him on. After all, he had been a total sweetie. But then I saw him at school the next day, hanging on Kelly Prescott's arm. She and Paul had broken up long ago; he got board with her really quick. Paul I mean. She had momentary tried to come after Jesse, but I had pounced on her and scared her off. Not literally, but I had sure felt like it.

It's been two days since we've come home, and Jesse and I are sitting outside the school, he's going to 'tutor' me in math after school.

Right. Tutor. cough

The sad thing is, he will probably be tutoring me. We seriously need to work on that.

I saw Sam walking toward her blue Ford Explorer. Paul was trailing behind her, flashing his pearly whites and flirting. I almost laughed. Paul had a crush on Sam. They'd make a cute couple, actually.

I looked up at Jesse; he still hadn't actually said those three little words. I knew he loved me, but why hadn't he said anything?

"Don't worry Querida," he kissed me, "I love you."

I gaped up at him. He just smirked.

"You better stay out of my head Jesse De Silva."

"We'll see Susannah."

And somehow, I knew everything was going to be just perfect.

Epilogue

It's been three years, and Paul has left me completely a lone. Not only that, but had and Sam are totally in love. It's so cute! And they don't even know it yet.

And she's supposed to read minds. Jesse and Paul can now hold a conversation without killing each other. It surprised me, I figured that once Paul was over me, they would be at least not trying to kill each other, but as it turns out they really just have mutual disdain for one another.

Peachy. Really. One of my best friend's boyfriends hates my boyfriend. Adam and Cee are still totally in love and they both went off to college. She's going to be a reporter and Adam…well, he's just being Adam for now. But he'll find something. Hey, we're young, we have time.

No one can really talk to Paul anymore, it's all Sam this and Sam that. Not that I mind. I'm glad he's happy.

As for Jesse and I?

Life's well…perfect. Just like I thought it would be. Jesse's in medical school and I'm majoring in fashion.

Also, he asked me to marry him. It was so cute! He totally asked Andy and my mom's permission first too. But he says after we both graduate, and he has his medical career going.

I don't mind. Just knowing that he's mine is enough for me. Not that I don't want to get married or anything. But I can wait.

After all, we have our whole lives ahead of us. Together, forever.

A/N: What did you think? I'll be posting another story soon(ish). I've already written the first chapter, and I have a basic plot thought out. If you want an excerpt I'll post it on my um, authorpage(?). Is that what you call those thingys? Anyway, thanks again to those who reviewed! Now do it one last time...
