A/N 1 -
Can you guys actually believe I'm updating ON TIME? It feels like forever since I actually got to sit down and write a new chapter, but this last week, I've done a lot of planning and stuff for future fics and all. So, I'm pretty excited about that. About this Chapter though, this is (Is case you didnt notice) the final chapter in this series, and I wasnt really looking forward to posting it.. You'll see why in a few minutes. I hope y'all enjoy it, and I'll stop talking so you can get to the story.

Hayden stood in the doorway to Natalie's bedroom, watching as she fixed her hair. He had been standing there for a couple minutes, and Natalie didn't even acknowledge that he was standing there.
"What are you doing?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Getting ready."
"For what?"
"A date, with Josiah."
"You're wearing that...on a date?" He frowned a little, gesturing to her shirt and shorts.
"Yeah, Hayden. Is that a problem?"
"I've never been on a date, but even I know you gotta dress to impress," He shrugged, "And you sure arent impressing anyone wearing anything like that."
"Have you been talking to Ash more than usual?" She shook her head, "I'm not trying to Impress anyone, so there.
"When are you going to be back?"
"Whenever I get back."
"Wasn't he supposed to be here at seven?"
Natalie nodded, standing in front of the mirror and fixing her makeup.

"Well, it's seven-fifteen, so your boyfriends late."
"He's not my boyfriend," She rolled her eyes, "And he's leaving tomorrow, so theres no way thats happening."
"Why would you go on a date with him if you're not going to see him again after tomorrow?"
"Because, I would rather spend one more day with him and remember it as happy, rather than not and be upset about it." She shrugged.
"I'll never understand girls." He shook his head, walking back into the hallway.

Sarah sat on the counter in the kitchen. She wanted so badly to see Casey, but she was sure she had messed up the last time they talked. She shouldn't have worded it like she did, but she just thought it was important that they spent more time studying.
"Hey mum," She sighed when she saw Evie walk into the kitchen.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"I think I did something stupid."
"What happened?"
"Casey really wanted to hang out, and I told him we should be studying and not wasting time, and He took it the wrong way."
"Was he upset?"
She nodded a little, looking down, "And I really want to talk to him, but I don't want to chance making him madder or something."
"I'm sure you won't, Sarah. Why don't you just go see him?"
"Yeah, okay," She nodded. Her Mum was right, it was technically her fault and she should be the one who apologized. She walked outside, heading towards the bus stop. What was she even going to say? What if he didn't want to talk to her?

She shook her head, looking down at her phone. The bus would be there in a couple minutes. She wished Seth hadn't taken the car, so she could have just driven to Caseys house. Plus, it was getting dark, and she hated taking the bus at night.
She looked around when she heard a weird noise, turning around to see a hooded figure standing behind her. She opened her mouth to scream, but it never came. Her mouth was covered and everything went dark.

Seth was driving back to the house after a long day of doing..absolutely nothing. He had left school and just started driving. After the last few days of being stuck in the house studying, he had to get some fresh air, even if it meant getting grounded by his parents when he got home, for being out so late. He drove down the street, enjoying what was probably this last few moments of freedom before getting grounded for life.

He turned at the bus stop, squinting when another cars headlights shone in his eyes. He panicked when he realized that car was in his lane, heading towards him. He swerved out of the lane, but lost control of the car, sending it right off the road and into a nearby tree.

Chloe walked around outside her house. Her parents had just left for work, and she was pretty much home alone. She was staring at the letter she had gotten from the curator of the Music festival. She knew she should ask her parents, but she knew what they would say. Especially her Mum. They would say it's not a good idea, then they would do everything they could to make sure she didn't go.

"Hey Chloe," Amber said, walking up to the house, "I got your text."
"Hey," Chloe nodded a little, "Sitting on the porch."
"What did you need?"
"I have a favor to ask, and you have to not ask questions."
"Did you kill someone?" She joked.
Chloe shook her head, "I'm going to Adelaide for a couple days, and I need you to cover for me."
"Why are you going to Adelaide?"
"No questions,"
"Right, so how exactly am I supposed to cover for you?"
"I'm going to tell my parents I'm at your house...all you have to do is, if my parents ask where I am, tell them I am at your house."
""But what if they come to my house?"
"Then tell them I went to the diner or I had to go get something." She shrugged.
"They're never going to buy that."
"Well, hopefully they'll believe it."
"And if they don't?"
"Text me, so I'll know not to come home?"
"Chloe, why don't you just tell your parents you want to go?"
"Because they'll say no."
"Why? What are you going for anyway?"
Chloe hesitated before handing Amber the letter, who started reading it. She paused for a moment, looking up at chloe before looking back down at it and reading it again.
"A music festival?" She asked, looking up, "Where did this come from?"
"The curator, he was at Angelos when I was playing, and he sent this to the house, but it ended up at Landons. He gave it to me the other day."
"So, you're actually going then?"
"Yeah, I mean, Its not really an opportunity I'm going to get again."
"Does Landon know you're going?"
"Yeah, I told him first." She nodded, taking the paper back and putting it back in her pocket, "Why?"
"Because I'm going to need his help if we're going to keep this from your parents." She smiled a little.

Casey walked out of his bedroom, grabbing his messenger bag as he made his way to the front door, stopping when he saw his Mum walking inside.
"Case. What are you doing?" Ricky asked, closing the door as she walked inside.
"Uh, I was going out."
"This late?"
"Yeah," He shrugged, "Sarah and I got in a bit of a fight, and I haven't talked to her, and I really wanted to go see her for a couple minutes, if thats okay." He nodded.
"You're not going to be out all night, are you?"
"No, I'll be back in an hour or something."
"Be careful, okay?"
"Yeah, Mum." He smiled a little, walking outside.

Casey had nearly texted Sarah several times that night, wanting to apologize, but wasn't sure she would want to talk to him after he stormed off the last time they talked. But he also knew it would be a better Idea to go ahead and apologize before things got worse, and with Caseys luck, things would have gotten worse really fast.

He walked down the road that lead to the farm house. He had planned on taking the bus, but that had already come around and wouldn't be back for another hour at the least. He had walked to Sarah's a couple times before, it wasn't so bad, and not nearly as far as everyone made it seem like. Plus it was always worth the walk since he got to see Sarah when he got there.

He called Sarah, hoping to at least tell her he was going over there, but she didn't pick up, and he was sent to the Answering machine, "Hey Sarah, it's me. Uh, I'm sorry about the other day, I shouldnt have gotten upset, you didn't really say anything wrong. I'm on my way to your house so maybe I'll get there before you realize I called or whatever. I guess I'll see you in a couple minutes. ..Bye." He sighed a little, hanging up.
Before he could even get his phone in his pocket, he was shoved from behind, causing him to nearly fall over. He turned around, immediately feeling a fist collide with his abdomen. He coughed, trying to push whoever it was away, but he couldn't see anyone. He was knocked over by the attacker. How was he supposed to fight back if he couldn't even see the person. He felt a couple hard kicks to his side before the person ran off when a car drove up. Casey sat up a little, unable to move without everything hurting.
"Casey? Are you alright?" Josh asked, stopping the car and getting out to check on him.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"What happened?"
"Someone just attacked me." He shook his head a little. Just the small movements hurt like hell.
"What? Do you know who it was?" Josh asked, looking around.
"No,"
"Is anything broken?"
"My ribs hurt really bad."
"Come on, mate. I'll get you to the hospital."
"No, I've got to go see Sarah."
"Sarah can wait, you might have broken something." He shook his head, helping Casey to his feet, and walking to the car.

Josiah ran up to Natalies house, quickly knocking on the door. He waited a moment before getting ready to knock again when the door opened. He frowned a little when he didn't see anyone in the doorway.
"Down here, genius." Hayden said.

Josiah looked down to see Hayden standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you."

"You know, for the child of two doctors, you're not very smart, are you?"
"What?"
"You told my sister you would be here at seven, and it is...almost eight o'clock."
"I got caught up."
"Yeah, tell her that," he shrugged, walking back inside when Natalie walked up to the door and pushed him out of the way.
"Hey,"
"Hey," She nodded a little.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I had to do some things before I could leave."
"No, it's okay." She shrugged.
"We can still go, if you want to. I kind of have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
"I said its a surprise," He laughed a little, holding his hand out.
She smiled a little, grabbing his hand, "Okay."

"Where were you?" Natalie asked as they walked, "I mean, I'm not mad or anything, just kind of curious."
"Uh, I just had to get some stuff fixed up." He nodded.
"Are you going to elaborate, or is cryptic your new thing?" She laughed.
"Yeah, just not until we get there."
"Where are we going?" She asked, getting an eyeroll from Josiah, "Right, it's a surprise, isnt it?"
"Not for much longer it isnt." He said as they made their way up to the Caravan park.
"Uh, okay. Why are we here?"
"And you used to be so good at puzzles," He joked, walking up to one of the vans and sitting down on the steps and gesturing for her to sit down next to him, "I talked to my parents."
"About what?" She asked, sitting down next to him.

"About not going back to paris. About staying here, in the bay."
"Are you serious?" She laughed a little.
"Yeah," He smiled.
"What did they say?"
"Well, Mom was kind of hesitant about it," He nodded, noticing the slight frown on Natalies face, "But, she agreed to let me stay and finish my HSC here." He smiled.
"You mean you're not leaving?"
"Do you really think I would have payed first months rent on this thing if I wasn't going to be staying?" He shook his head, "I definitely am not ready to say bye to you yet." He took her hand, standing up and walking into the van.
"I'm not ready to say bye to you either," She smiled, standing up and following behind him.
Josiah smiled a little, turning around and kissing her, "I'm glad I get to stay." He nodded a little, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I'm glad you're staying too." Natalie smiled, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him again, this time a little slower, pulling back to look up at him.
He had a slight smile on his face, "Are you sure about this?"
She smiled, nodding a little as she kissed him again.

REVIEWS!

FrankElza: Yeah, that was a sad part to write, and at first, I didnt even have a plan on why he broke things off, but since posting, I have come up with a good storyline that the break up leads into. :) Thank you so much. Honestly, your support the last few months have been the thing that kept me writing. I have no words to express how grateful your kind words have meant. I hope you'll stick around. :)

TwisterLibstax: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it, and hopefully there is so much more to come. :)

A/N 2
So Yeah, that was a lot to throw at y'all in one chapter, especially with it being the last one in the season. I really hope you guys like it, I kind of re-wrote it right before I posted it, and I'm seriously freaking out about the response I might get, because I love you guys, and I dont want you to be disappointed. That would kill me. Uh, I guess, Leave a review? If you have never reviewed it before, (Or even if you have) I hope you'll leave one this time, just so I know whether or not to continue the story, because if you guys are losing interest, or you dont like it anymore, I just dont see the point of writing another season. :/

Thank you ALL so much for your support so far, and I appreciate all of you more than you will ever know.
