Stevie POV

Mr. March walked up the microphone and quieted us down. "Alright, alright. Everyone quiet. It's time to announce the winner." Everyone immediately got quiet and focused on the tall man standing onstage. "And the winner is…Stevie Baskara and Zander Robbins!"

The crowd broke out into an even bigger round of applause. I jumped into Zander's arms- out of excitement- and he spun me around. We both had the biggest smiles on our faces. It was at that moment that I knew I was in love with him. Sand that he felt the exact same way.

AFTER THE SHOW

"Stevie! Oh honey, your song was so amazing!" My mom said as she gave me a giant hug.

"It was beautiful, sweetheart." My dad said. Then he kissed my forehead.

"Thank you. And thank you for coming tonight!" I said.

"Oh believe me, it was our pleasure." Mom said.

I spotted Zander leaning against the wall across the hallway. He winked at me. I laughed in response. I started to walk over there, only to be pulled back by my mom.

"I like that boy. You go after him." She whispered in my ear. I blushed and started to walk over to Zander again.

"Hey you." I said once I had gotten to him.

"Hello Steviekins." I froze.

"What did you just call me?" I said, almost inaudibly.

"Steviekins. What, is something wrong with it?" He teased.

"No its just….Cory used to call me that. He was the only person that could call me that without getting punched." I said with a smile.

"I didn't get punched." He winked.

"Oh yeah, right." Then I punched him in the arm. "Now come here." I said as I open my arms for a hug. He gladly joined me. "Thank you"

"For what?" He asked me, me still in his arms.

"For everything. I don't think I would've made it through all of this if you weren't right here by my side the entire time. So thank you."

"I told you, I'll always be here for you."

I pulled out of the hug and looked him right in the eyes. Then I leaned in. Our lips met almost instantly and it felt so good, so comfortable. Like this was normal. When we pulled away I went back in for another hug.

"I love you Steves." He whispered.

"I love you too Z." I smiled against his chest. He grabbed my hand.

"Come on, let's get you home." I leaned against his arm as we walked out. We got a few strange looks, but I didn't care. I was happy. Happier than I have been in a long time.

"Hey Stevie." I heard someone behind me call. I turned around to see it was Molly.

"Ugh, what?" I said, already annoyed.

"I just wanted to say congratulations. If anyone deserved to win, it was definitely you."

I was shocked. I looked up at Zander , my eyebrows up to my hairline. He just shrugged.

"Um, thanks Molly."

"Oh and I'm sorry about what I said in the hallway the other day. It was cruel, even for me. I shouldn't have said it and I'm just really sorry." She smiled a genuine smile.

Okay, now my eyebrows were buried in my hair. But I couldn't help but smile. "It's okay. And thank you Molly, for apologizing. It takes a big person to own up to their mistakes like you just did."

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys around," She started to walk away, but turned around at the last minute, "And btdubs, you two are totes adorbs! I'm rooting for you guys. Zevie all the way." She smiled again, then walked away. I looked up at Zander again.

"Zevie?" I asked. He shrugged, smiled, and shook his head. We both started laughing.

"Hey Stevie!" Kacey ran up to us, Nelly and Kev following close behind. "I am so sorry for throwing a fit earlier. I totally understand why you wanted to sing that. It was amazing, by the way. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Of course Kace! To be honest, I was never really mad at you in the first place!" He smile got huge.

"Yay!" She jumped and clapped.

"Hey Zander, what's going on here?" Kevin asked, pointing to our hands intertwined.

"Oh right. Guys, meet my new girlfriend." He smiled at me. I smiled back and hugged his arm.

"AWWWWW!" The three of them yelled. We both started laughing again.

"Alright well, we're going to go home. Bye guys!" I said.

We walked out to Zander's car. He opened my door and gestured me to get in. I did it with a smile.

"Hey Stevie," He said as he got into the driver's seat," I just want to tell you, you are the strongest person I know and I could not be more proud to call you my girlfriend."

"Such a sap." I joked. He laughed. "Thank you." I said. "Oh, I just realized, I never thanked you for finishing my speech at the funeral. So thank you!" I smiled.

"No problem baby. I'd do anything for you."

I smiled so wide the entire car ride. Finally we got to my house. Zander got out of the car and walked me up to my door.

"Night baby. I love you." He kissed the top of my head.

"Goodnight. I love you to Uke Boy." I laughed and kissed him on the cheek. When I went inside I leaned up against the door and smiled. "Best night ever." I whispered to myself. It really was though. I got a boyfriend that I love, I won the talent show, Molly and I made nice, Kacey and I are cool again, and best of all; I finally got closure. And I no longer feel like Cory's death was my fault. And that was one of the best feelings in the world.

AHHH so much Zevieness! Hope you like! Next chapter will definitely be the last! REVIEWWWW!
