Hey, guys! So this is the final chapter of Life After Jonas (but there's still an epilogue), which is pretty crazy!

I've been working on this story for so long, and I've really appreciated all the support y'all have given me. Every comment means so much to me!

I think this chapter is the most crucial to the story. And the final scene in this chapter I based loosely on the final scene of The Proposal (my favorite movie :)) just fyi.

I really hope you like the final chapter of Life After Jonas! And i would really really appreciate it if you would leave a comment!

P.S. I'll try to post the epilogue soon.

Nick watched as Macy's car disappeared from the parking lot. He had never felt as broken as he did in this moment. The girl he loved had just stepped out of his life forever. He couldn't get the thought out of his mind. Nick contemplated chasing after her, but figured it was too late so he headed back inside to call off the wedding.

His hands trembled against the doorknob, and he took a deep breath before walking back into the room full of many appalled people. As he opened the door, the room fell silent and every eye found its way to him. Nick could feel each stare as he walked back up the aisle and to Amber's side. The feeling kind of made him want to puke.

"Nick, how could you ruin our wedding like this?" She whispered to him in fury. He only glared at the girl. She never was one to be understanding or sympathetic. Amber never thought of anyone but herself and if she didn't get exactly what she wanted then Nick would have to hear about it, and to be honest, he was tired of it. The boy cursed slightly under his breath but soon turned to Amber and whispered, "We need to have a word. In private." Nick shook his head angrily as his "lovely" bride rolled her eyes. "We're supposed to be getting married." She retorted, and turned her body back in the direction of the pastor. "Please." He begged. "I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't completely essential." He added with a pleading look in his eyes. Amber took a deep breath, that conveyed how angry she was about the whole thing, and looked at Nick. "Fine." Nick took the girl's hand and mumbled "Thank you." As he led her out the double doors and around the corner where they were out of hearing distance. He stood silently for a moment, knowing that back inside, the room was probably buzzing with chatter about today's events.

"Well spit it out." Amber snapped. Nick glared at her and decided to just come right and say it. "I can't marry you." His voice was shaking as the words came out, and it didn't help that Amber had a look in her eyes that screamed that she was about to kill somebody. "Excuse me?" The words escaped her mouth like venom. "You heard me." Nick mumbled, honestly quite afraid of what Amber would say.

This was the first time Nick had ever stood up to the bratty girl. He had always let her push him around, tell him what to do, criticize him. He had given her complete control over him, the reigns in the relationship, and he was beyond sick of being her little puppet.

"So you're just going to end it? Right here, right now?" She asked, surprisingly looking more hurt than angry. "Yes." Nick mumbed slightly remorseful. He was shocked by the dumbfounded look on Amber's face. "Amber-" He began, searching for the right words to say. "What we have, this.. This isn't love. I don't even know what this is." Nick could tell that Amber was avoiding his eyes. "I know that you don't love me. I know that you only even started dating me for my fame and money. And to be honest, I'm not in love with you either."

Amber looked at the boy with an almost pleading look in her eyes. "Don't do this." She whispered. "We do have something." Nick just shook his head, she never would learn. "So you can honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that you love me?" He asked the usually dull and heartless girl who for once in her life actually looked like she felt something. Amber's eyes flickered everywhere except for at Nick. "That's what I thought." He muttered, as she said nothing. "I'm doing this for both of us." He explained to the girl as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Because I think we both deserve to be with someone that we actually do love." He added sincerely. Amber surprised him even more by wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a light kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." She mumbled as she pulled back. "Thanks for saving me from doing something really stupid." She gave the boy a light smile and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yeah, don't mention it." Nick mumbled hazily, dumbstruck by Amber's sudden kindness.

And so Nick and Amber called off the wedding and returned back to their day to day lives, Nick constantly ragging on himself for letting Macy leave. As if it wasn't already bad enough having his brothers constantly scorn him for letting her walk out of his life. But Nick just kept begging God to let him see the girl he loved just one more time so he could fix things.

After weeks of having to put up with the annoying depressed Nick, as she called him, Stella finally gave in and decided to give Nick Macy's contact information, despite the numorous commands from Macy not to do so. Nick figured just calling the girl wouldn't be enough, so he packed his bags for New Jersey and prayed to God to let this work out.

Macy's POV

I should've never gone to California, to the wedding. I should have never gotten close to Stella again. I should've never seen Nick again. I should have never fallen in love with Nick again. Because that one week I spent with the people who had once meant the most to me, made me feel like I was a part of that again, it made me want to just pick up right where we left off when we were 18. But I didn't consider the fact that when I came back to New Jersey, things would go right back to the way they were, that that was only a one time thing. If I had just stayed home and avoided the wedding at all costs, like I had originally planned, then I would'nt be here, all alone laying on my bedroom floor crying into an old tshirt. I wouldn't be feeling like that abandoned toy that little kids love for a short while growing up, but the minute they find a new and shinier one, it gets tossed into a box in the attic where it wil l sit for years. That's me, the abandoned toy that has just gotten tossed aside and thrown out.

As I woke up on a bright Monday morning, three days after returning home, I groaned as I realized I would have to go back to work today. I sat up in my bed and took a deep breath as I swung my legs over the side, and made my way to the shower. I let out a light shriek as the ice cold water hit my skin like thousands of tiny needles. I wondered what Nick was doing right about now. I wondered if he had gone through with the wedding, if he was now a married man. A few tears escaped from my eyes at the thought.

After several minutes passed, I took a deep breath and shut the water off, reaching for my towel. As I walked back into my bedroom, dripping onto the wooden floor, I dried myself and dressed in my work attire. Once I had gotten completely ready and grabbed a bite to eat, I scurried out the front door.

Nick's POV

I threw my bags in the back of my rental car and sped off, not wanting to waste any time. Once out of the airport parking lot, I sped down the highway a little faster than I knew was legal, and after 15 minutes of speeding anxiously through the morning traffic, I finally arrived at the apartment building that Stella had said Macy was living in. I jogged up the stairs, but stopped in front of her door. I paced back and forth a few times, before finally slamming my fist against the door. "Macy?" I called. No answer. "Mace?" A bit softer this time. But still, no answer. I jumped a bit as a deep shaky voice came from behind me. "Can I help you, boy?" An older man asked from behind me. "Do you know the girl that lives here?" I asked, slightly out of breath. "Yes, Miss Misa. She's a lovely young lady." He said with a smile on his face. "Do you know if she's home?" I asked when he paused. The older man laughed. "No, boy. She's probably at work right about now." I sighed. "Okay.. And that would be where?" The old man thought for a minute, registering what I had just asked. "Every Monday and Friday she interns at the New Jersey Press, it's just a couple streets down." The man began, before he went off spitting out a complete list of directions on how to get there. I shook my head and tried to smile politely. "Yeah.. I used to live here." I thanked the man and hopped back in the car.

As Nick was pulling into the parking lot, he could feel his palms beginning to sweat and had to take a moment to regain his self control. He got out of the car, gave himself a quick pep talk, and marched confidently into the building. Though, his confidence was shattered when he spotted her. She was sitting at a desk in the corner of the room, hidden behind her computer screen. She looked beautfiul.

Nick hadn't even noticed the middle aged women who had been trying to get his attention. "Sir?..." No answer. "Sir?" Nick stared at the women blankly. "What do you need?" She asked, clearly annoyed. "Nothing." He mumbled walking right past her. He stumbled into a chair and bumped into several angry employees as he made his way over to her desk. Macy had stood up gathering a pile of papers off her desk, when she lifted her head and nearly choked seeing Nick standing in front of her.

"Nick?" Macy's voice clearly revaled how shocked she was to see him standing here in front of her, which only made Nick slightly worried. She stared at him blankly, waiting for some kind of explanation. "Macy." He said softly. The girl shook her head and went off on a rant. "What's going on? I mean, what on earth are you doing here? You should be in-" Nick shushed the babbling girl. "Just let me explain."

"Two weeks ago, I had forgotten about you completely. Every thought of you had been cleared out of my mind, and my every move was depending on Amber. But then you showed up in California, and I could feel the sparks come back the moment I saw you. But when we kissed-" Nick paused. "When we kissed, that was when I really knew my feelings had never gone away. And then when I saw you leaving the wedding I couldn't help but chase after you, you were my every thought, my every concern. And when you practically rejected me, and did the same thing to me that I did to you all those years ago, that was the worst part. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think straight, I couldn't go back to life before you came. And that was when I realized that I had to come, because I want you so bad, Macy

Macy now realized that every eye in the room was on her and the boy confessing his love towards her. "I realized that I went into all of this believing that I would come out of it with my wife, my future, the rest of my life. And-" Nick paused and grabbed one of her hands, lacing his fingers through hers. "I still have that intention." Nick whispered the last part.

[I do not own any of this last part. All credit goes to The Proposal.]

Macy opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She could feel her head spinning and her heart pounding through her chest. Was Nick asking her to marry him? Of course not. She figured his last statement had just been made generally, and that she wasn't thinking clearly. Though her denial was dismissed when Nick began to speak again. "So Macy, will you spend the rest of your life with me like I so badly want to with you?" Tears began to bud in her eyes. "Marry me?" Nick whispered.

Macy only shook her head, forcing the tears not to spill out. "You don't want to be with me." She said softly. "Yes, I do." Nick said staring into her eyes. Macy looked at the floor. "I'm scared." She whispered as Nick tilted her chin up. "Me too." He murmured and pressed his lips to hers. There was whistling and cheering in the background, as their lips moved in coordination. Macy wrapped her arms around Nick's neck, the one place they had always seemed to fit perfectly.

"Aren't you supposed to get down on your knee or something?" She asked as they pulled back. Nick only laughed and muttered, "I'm going to take that as a yes."

Thanks for reading :) I would really appreciate a review!
