Hello guys!

WooHoo! Chapter 27 already! As I have mentioned previously, I had only expected this story to last for (at maximum) 8 chapters. I am quite impressed that I have managed to drag out this story as long as I have.

Thanks to all reviewers and readers, especially if you've stuck by me from the beginning. Lots and lots of love to you guys.

Okay, you must be getting bored now with this long A.N, so I'll just start with the story.

I don't own anything. Never have, never will.

Chapter 27: What happens now?

Well, if you wanted honesty

That's all you had to say.

I never want to let you down,

Or have you go,

It's better off this way

(My Chemical Romance- I'm not okay)

I stepped out of the bathroom, and bumped straight into a hot, hard body.

"Kim," Jared started to say.

Then he said the thing I was least expecting.

"Kim, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I made you cry, I'm sorry for saying those things to you. I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to upset you. You deserve so much more. It's no wonder you didn't want to be with me anymore. I should have respected that decision. I will always love you. Soul mates. I never should have..." he said, rushing to get his word out, but I interrupted him.

"Jared," I said, my voice giving away signs of my tears. "No, Jared. Why did you come after me? What you did was for the best. I was going to leave you." I said. I still loved him; of course I would always love him. I truly believed that we were soul mates, but leaving him, and giving myself some space was best.

"Jared, I never really got to explain my decision to you. I still love you, and always will, but...but my love for you, our love, is destroying everything. When you first noticed me, and we started to go out, it made me happy, but it was demolishing everything else. My parent's relationship, my relationship with my parents. Even doing studying with you was ruining my grades. I do love you. I just...I just need to give up this love; it's what's best for everyone. Maybe not you or I, but I can't risk everyone else's happiness for my own. I won't be that selfish" I said, explaining my reasons. I still wasn't sure that Jared really did love me.

He stood in silence, unbelieving of my words.

"Kim," he said slowly. "Kim, that doesn't matter. I mean, of course it matters, but you shouldn't be that unselfish. Being without your soul mate is unbearable. I was in complete pain while you were away. Kim, the only thing that matters to me is your happiness, and that should be the only thing that matters to you, too. There are solutions to your problems. Way to fix all that is being destroyed. Your parents, well, in your dad's letter, he said it had already been going on for a while. You can't blame our love for that. He just found love somewhere else. And your relationship with your parents, well, your parents were in the wrong. If they had accepted us, then we wouldn't have this problem. Besides, the past few times I've come around, nobody complained. As for your grades, we'll just work separately then. See, there is a solution for all the problems. We will work. I will make it work" he said, trying to reassure me, and himself.

I wasn't too sure.

"Jared, that may have solved our problems for now, but what about in a month's time? When our love destroys something else? Hmmm? What happens then? I love you Jared. Honestly, I do, but my love for you is unhealthy. It eats up everything around us, and I don't think I can cope if another relationship of mine is destroyed, or something else terrible happens. I just can't" I said, trying to be firm, and strong with him, but I didn't succeed. I broke down, for once in my life, not sobbing, but instead my knees collapsed from under me.

Jared, as always, was my protector, and he came and caught me from falling and hurting myself. It reminded me tremendously of a cheesy romantic movie, when the hero catches the heroine as she falls, then tells her that he loves her.

"Kim, we'll face any problems we have when they come along, together. You are not alone. You don't have to worry. I will always be here for you" he said, and just like out of a romantic movie, he pulled me up and cradled me in his arms, despite the fact I must weigh at least 150 pounds, if not, more.

He then craned his neck down, and proceeded to give me another of his mind-blowing kisses that I had been missing for quite a while.

"I love you, Jared" I panted, out of breath.

"I love you too, Kim" he replied.

And that's when I knew that I would always be there, in Jared's arms.

Alright, I could easily finish the story there, but I might do an epilogue, so you can see when Jared proposes. I hope you guys like my last words. It took me like ten minutes to think of them.

Love you guys! I'm sorry I finished the story as soon as I did without any warning. I'm actually amazed that I managed to write so much. The story just started as a maybe-eight-off. Sorry to all you guys who wanted more. My tale is spun, err, and their life has begun? I dunno, I'm not very good with rhymes, but they are in love, and their life will continue to go on like that, all happy and everyone will be joyful. I could maybe have written loads more, but I might do an outtakes story, like the bonfire, and Jared's war departure, you know, the bits that S.M wrote about.

Lots and lots of thank you's and love you's to all readers, and reviewers.

So there I will leave you, until tomorrow's possible epilogue. Hope you have enjoyed the story!

Lots of love,

Deany-Bob101 signing out (until possibly tomorrow!).
