Hey guys! So, if you've followed me for a long time, you've probably noticed I've disappeared from fanfiction for, what is it? Threeish weeks? Yeah. I took a break for a few reasons: writer's block, busyness, family stuff, figuring out what I want to be as a writer (I know, really deep.), and I got some hateful reviews from "guests" who are really more likely people who signed out of their accounts I'm guessing. I got three reviews in particular that have really upset me, and the best option was to remove myself from the situation until I knew I wouldn't say anything I'd regret later.

Anywho, here's the chapter all you Jaya fans have been waiting for and sadly the last chapter in this story!

Jay dropped Kai off at his dorm then it was just him and Nya in his car. KTIS Christian Radio (A/n: yes, real station. It's in Minesota somewhere. I googled random Christian stations so I could use something not from near I live. Just a precaution thing.) played softly in the background.

"So, are you doing okay?" Jay asked even though he'd already asked that. Twice.

"I guess so. It's going to feel good to be back in school tomorrow. I could use a little normal," Nya sighed. She stared out the window for a moment, "are you doing okay?" She finally asked.

Jay was glad Nya couldn't see his face. What? "Yeah. I'm doing fine."

"You seem kinda stressed. Is there something going on in one of your classes?" Nya asked.

Jay scratched his head, "No."

It was silent again. Jay began to sweat. Nya was still looking out the window. He wished he could see her face and know what she was thinking. How was he supposed to do this?

"Hey, uh Nya?"

"Yes Jay?"

Jay felt his cheeks heating up, "I was wondering if, if you'd had dinner yet?"

Nya was silent for a minute, "Well, no. I don't think I even had lunch."

"Well, how about we go to that new Italian place, Christini's? It's supposed to be good," Jay suggested. This felt easy. He knew once he got to the girlfriend part of the conversation he'd get all trippy again.

"That sounds good," Nya smiled meakly.

Awkward. Silence. Again.

Jay didn't even bother to celebrate the fact that this was the second date he'd successfully asked Nya out on. Too much was still at stake. He figured he had maybe half an hour to prepare himself.

"So where'd you hear about this place?" Nya asked as Jay got back on the highway.

"Mr. Wu. He talked about it as Bible study the other night," Jay replied, "he knows the couple that owns it."

"Oh cool. What was the lesson about?" Nya asked.

"Magnifying God. It was really interesting."

"I wish I could've been there," Nya sighed.

"Me too. It felt strange not having you and Kai there."

Nya smiled again. Jay's heart melted.

By the time they'd pulled into the restaurant, Jay felt a little less nervous about everything. Nya seemed more cheerful which was something Jay was taking credit for. He wasn't expecting a line to get in.

"Great! Looks like we're waiting," Jay moaned.

Nya shrugged, "it's ok. I don't mind the wait."

Jay took a table pager from the host, "do you want to wait outside?"

"Sure," Nya replied, "it's nice out."

It certainly was. The cool night air was refreshing compared to Jay's cramped car that they'd already spent a good half hour in.

Only a few other groups waiting to be seated were out there. Everything was so quiet, but not the same awkward quiet that took place in the car.

"Hey Nya?" Jay finally asked, deciding now was the time.

"Yeah Jay?" Nya asked and looked into his eyes. Jay noticed how pretty they looked in the moonlight. He could get used to that. He really hoped he would get used to that.

"I was wondering, I know you've been stressed lately and all, but I would like to know, if you'd want to be my girlfriend?" There it was. Everything was out. Jay felt himself blushing and looked at the pavement.

"Jay..."

"It's okay. You can say no if you want. I'm fine with being just friends if you don't want to," Jay rushed out. Why'd he have to be so awkward? "just, I want you to know that you make pretty beautiful."

Before he could look up to see her face, Nya was hugging him, "of course I will! Thank you Jay."

Jay hugged her back, thanking God that this all worked out. He took in the smell of her shampoo and how small she felt in his arms even though Nya had proven to be the strongest girl he knew. He could already see their future forming...

This was going to be a good life.

Okay! Thanks all of you for supporting me through this whole story. I hope you all enjoyed.

The line I had Jay say about you make pretty beautiful is from the song by Danny Gokey. It's a really pretty song he wrote for his wife. I'd suggest looking it up. It's really inspired me about what I'd like it to be someday when God willing, I get married.

For following, cavorting, and reviewing this. Your support was awesome!

I'll have the sequel I Will sort of based on the song by Citizen Way up in a week or two. Until then, God bless!
