An update... safe to say it's the last one though. That's right. I've decided to end the story at this chapter. Funny, chapter thirteen. I wasn't planning on it, but with how the last chapter ended... well, I had to end it here.

I hope you guys enjoyed this writing journey as much as I have. I want to give a big thanks and round of applause for those who continued to read this story, reviewed, and all that shizz. That's what I call a committed reader.

Everyone, Chapter Thirteen:

Chapter Thirteen: Goodnight and Goodbye

Hours had flown by. The cut on Alexa's forearm had eventually came to a halt. During those hours, however, Alexa continued to sit in that same corner, thinking. Thinking about her past, present, and future.

Never before in her life did she think her life was going to turn out like this. Sometimes, things don't work out the way you plan. That's for sure. Here she was, sitting in a corner. Hours before, she witnessed one of the most brutal murders yet. The man who caused it also caused harm to her. She wasn't angry with Jason. Really, what could've she done about it? During that exact moment, Jason was in rage. If she did the slightest thing that he didn't like, she would've joined Emma in Heaven.

She then began to consider leaving Camp Crystal Lake. Main reasons had nothing to do with Jason himself, in fact it was the opposite. For one, she was only eighteen. In a way, she's still a kid. There's things in life she has yet to learn and experience. Staying here with a killer would keep her behind the wall. What was the benefits in that?

'You're only a kid once in your life.' Alexa thought. She wanted to be able to enjoy her last years as a 'kid', but not here. The only thing she would get out of staying here is witnessing more murders that would scar her. What would she do the next time Jason got out of control? Exactly. She was simply too young to live with a deranged killer. Don't get her wrong, she still loved and adored Jason with every bit of her heart, but it just wasn't the right time for her.

Along the lines of still being young, she was young and pregnant. Sure Jason did a lot to help her through her three months of pregnancy, but what about when she'll go into labor and give birth? Alexa knew she would refuse giving birth here.

Alexa also did consider whether or not she wanted to keep the baby. Three months back, she did want to raise the baby with Jason as the "father". Raising a baby in an abandoned campsite without the right infant necessities would be hard. Even if she went back to Maine and took care of the baby there, she would still be a young mother. Juggling a baby and finishing up high school would definitely be a challenge.

She came to conclude she would have to give the baby up for adoption. It would only be the best for her/him. Besides, if she did stay and raise the child here, she would have to explain a lot as the kid gets older. As selfish as it sounded, she didn't want her child to know where he/she came from either. Alexa just wanted her child to grow up normally with a normal family. Who knows, maybe she can visit years from now after the adoption.

She looked down at her growing stomach. She'll be sure this baby will have a great life, even if it's not with her real mother and father. She looked straight out then and noticed Emma's torn up carcass. The sight of it immediately made her gag, especially since the smell of human flesh became stronger. She brought herself up and without another look at the body parts, she headed out of the room.

After walking downstairs, she stopped at the front door. If she planned on leaving, what if she ran into Jason? He would never let her leave. Who knows how he was feeling even. Alexa inhaled deeply and opened the door. She stepped outside and stood on the porch. It was early in the morning, the air smelling fresh and clean due after the rain. Alexa noticed bloody footprints from the door to the stairs heading down the porch. She knew they belonged to Jason, remembering he stepped all over Emma's blood after the attack. The footprints, as faint as they were, headed down in the direction of the lake.

'He must've just... chilled there.' Instead of following the footprints, she went the opposite direction. She couldn't risk Jason seeing her otherwise her shots of leaving would sink. The further she headed out of the camp, the more her heart swelled and it pained her. She looked back and sighed. So, so many memories that were held here. Many bad... and some good in their own special way. She remembered all the times Jason and her spent down by the lake under the moonlight. The night Jason saved her. All the days Jason protected and cared for her.

Wiping the tears that began to free flow down, she smiled. Jason was the one. He simply was the one. This definitely wouldn't be the last time she would see him. She promised herself once she grew up more, she would come back down here. Just for him. She may just decide to live with him until the day she dies, but that's for later on in the future.

Right now, she just wanted to enjoy the rest of her teen years with her friends and family in Maine. Experience more, that way, she'll be more ready to handle life. She couldn't do that now, especially if things weren't right back in Maine.

She would miss the quiet, the woods, the lake... Camp Crystal Lake. What a journey she has been through and a part of life she thought she would never be apart of. This whole "experience" definitely changed her perspective about many things and will keep them in mind for now and for the future.

Before walking further to the opening of the campsite, Alexa blew a kiss out toward the lake. It really was hard leaving Jason after all she had been through with him, but she had to do this. It's what's best for her as of right now. She will return.

"Bye Jason. I'm sorry I have to do this, but it's for the best. I'll return though, I promise." With that said in a whispered tone, she took one last look at Camp Crystal Lake. She began to head in the direction in which she was heading. After a few minutes of walking, she was surprised to see the BMW that her and Kaden drove in here was still there! She immediately ran to it, starting up the engine. When the engine purred, Alexa smiled. This meant she was destined to go. She took a glance back at her surroundings to see if Jason was approaching her at all. Nothing.

"Well Jason, goodnight and goodbye. It won't be forever though." Alexa then pulled into drive mode and began off onto the trail leading out of Camp Crystal Lake. Little did she know, Jason saw her approach the car, immediately headed toward her, but it was too late. Alexa already drove off. Jason's eyes followed the car heading off. He couldn't believe it, she was really gone.

Did I fail to mention... that there WILL be a SEQUEL? That's right. There's no way I would just end it like this. Psh. It was hard to have Alexa leave, but that's all I could really think of at the moment. Plus, it'll do nicely when I write the sequel. First chapter should be posted soon. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, this story, and the building relationship between Jason and Alexa! Gah, I love you guys.

Thanks again for making this story possible guys. Just having you people read this story kept me committed to finishing it. I feel like an accomplished writer. :D Thanks again!
