Guys, its the last chapter... I'm a little sad.

But thank you all so much for reading this, it has been a blast to write and your reviews meant a lot to me! Enjoy this ending!

Trevor

Seeing my sister dead had been heartbreaking. Watching her come back to life was incredible.

"Valerie," I say her name quietly. I can seem a warm flush spreading through her arms and face. It's a sign of life. Paul leans closer, clutching at her hands. It takes a while, but eventually her eyes flutter open. Immediately she coughs up water, gasping for air. I help her sit up and pull her into a hug. Thank god. Thank you… thank you.

She can't speak, but she looks at me and I watch as tears roll down her face. I feel my own drip onto my shirt. Thank god.

- 10 Days Later -

Jasper

Edward and Carlisle hadn't understood it. Neither did anyone else. But, needless to say, I was happy. I felt bad of course. Deep inside, I couldn't shake the feeling of cold, emptiness at seeing Valerie dead. It scared me that I could have be so uncaring. It made me nervous.

Alice leaps lightly beside me. I wrap an arm around her and peck her on the cheek. My love for her burns brightly now. There's nothing pushing it back. No other force pulling me in a different direction. My bond to Valerie, whatever it was, is gone.

"Jasper…" Alice trails off. I look at her curiously. "I can finally see her future," she finally says. "And Edward can finally hear her thoughts," a puzzled look forms on her face. "What does it mean?" I shrug and think.

"Who knows… she did die, if only for a few minutes…" I trail off, still surprised by how that fact no longer makes me tremble with rage or sadness. "Whatever it was, it's gone now," I say finally, holding Alice tighter.

"Does that make you sad?" She gazes up at me lovingly.

"A little," I reply thoughtfully, "But I'm glad it's gone."

"Me too."

Paul

"For Christ's sake stop moving!" I say in exasperation.

"I can handle it! Geez," A voice from the other rooms calls back. I hurriedly stride into the room, hands full of popcorn and soda. I set them down on the coffee-table.

"I told you not to move!" I scold. Valerie looks at me mischievously.

"That's not what you said last night," she grins and I feel a warmth creep onto my cheeks.

"Hey! That was different! That was for recuperation purposes only!" I scold her again and quickly pluck the DVD from her hand and pop it into the player.

She sighs in exasperation and walks slowly to the couch. Her bruises are slowly fading and turning yellow, but she still has a stiffness to her movements. It constantly worries me. She flops onto the couch and pulls a blanket over her legs. Ever since her "death", I've been waiting on her hand and foot. I will not allow anything else to happen to her. Ever.

Valerie

I don't remember much. But the things I do remember were cold and then warm. It didn't really make much sense. All I know now is that Trevor is happy again. He and Leah spend every day together. Leah's softer now, more open. I think they'll make each other very happy. That makes me smile.

"Okay, so I said "marathon" huh?" Paul grimaces and settles down next to me, coving my shoulders with his warm arm. I am terrified of the cold now; I can't even sleep without him next to me.

"You agreed to this," I nod and grin.

"Yeah, well as long as you know that I'm only doing this because I'm manly enough to take it," he sniffs proudly. I roll my eyes at him.

"Romance movies are good!" I insist.

"In what world?" He retorts.

"Jerk," I say, hitting him lightly on the shoulder.

"Idiot," he replies, squeezing me tighter.

"Yeah, but I'm your idiot right?" I look into his deep, chocolate eyes. They shine lovingly and I already know his answer.

"Duh!"

THE END
