Well, here's the last chapter everyone! I really enjoyed writing this story and thank you to all that have followed it! Enjoy... oh and its now back to Suze's POV

As Paul and I were waiting in the backroom of the ballroom to be announced, I couldn't help but feel different. I still couldn't grasp the fact that I had just gotten married. It hadn't changed me much. I was still the same Suze who was a Mediator, I just had a different last name. But for some reason, I felt like I had a complete makeover and I was a totally different person. In a way, I kind of liked it... it felt like I was starting over. Finally, Paul and I hear the DJ, "And now, I would like to introduce to you for the first time...Mr. and Mrs. Paul and Sussanah Slater!"

Paul looked at me and smiled, "Are you ready?" I softly kissed his lips, returning the smile and replied, "Let's do this"

As we entered the ballroom, we were immediately greeted with applause, but my mind was suddenly somewhere else. Jesse. My life may be changing, but, he's one thing I'm not ready to let go of yet. As Paul and I start walking towards our guests, I scan the every inch of the ballroom looking for Jesse, hoping to god that he's not left me yet.

After a few minutes of being congradulated and making our way across the floor, I finally let out a sigh of relief after spotting him in by a far corner window away from everyone. Our eyes connected and he gave me a small smile, his face reading both sadness and pain. I wanted to talk to him. I quickly then turned to Paul.

"Hey do you mind if I go find CeeCee? I have to thank her for pulling all of this together," I said, speaking the first things that came to my head and hoping Paul wasn't suspecting anything weird. But, to my relief, he simply nodded and and squeezed my hand, "Okay, just don't leave me he alone too long. I can't deal with some of my relatives on my own," I laughed as he lightly brushed my lips with his.

"I promise, I'll be back in a few minutes," I said smiling as I turned and started over in Jesse's direction.

As I approached him, Jesse took my hand and lead me out onto the balcony of the ballroom. After Jesse shut the door behind us, I rapidly flung my arms around his neck and held tight. His arm snaked around my waist as he buried his face into my shoulder. We stayed that way for a while taking in each other's presence, trying to savor this moment.

Too quickly though, did he then pull away. He took hold of my hands in his as he brought them to his lips and kissed them.

"I still love you, I always will," was all he said, and my tears came harder. I couldn't let him leave me again. I may be married to Paul now but I still needed Jesse. I needed him to fill the lasting hole that was in my chest.

I released one of my hands that was in his and caressed his face, "I know, I always will, too," I barely whispered over my tears. Jesse leaned in against my touch and gently kissed my forehead and connected his to mine. His eyes were full of tears as well. I didn't want to this to go away. I wanted to always hear him call me 'querida', I wanted to always feel his touch, his kiss...his existance. But, I know that I can't, and as hard as it's going to be...I'm going to accept that. I pulled him to me again. Only this time I could barely feel his arms around me. He was fading from me.

"You're always in my heart querida. Go... live your life...full and happy. I promise we'll see each other again someday," he said pulling out of the hug from which I couldn't even feel now. I looked into eyes once more as he gave me a small wave and left me, continuing to fade as he walked away from me until me was completely gone. I couldn't move. For support, I leaned against the railing of the balcony and let my tears fall for another minute before I finally was able to control them. Finally, after the tears stopped flowing, I cleared the mascara stains from my face with my hand and walked back into the ballroom, only to run right into CeeCee.

"Suze, I was looking for you, are you okay?" she said her voice full of concern.

I looked back at her and smiled "Yeah I am now. I just needed some air," I said pulling her into a hug. She was shocked at first but then returned the hug.

"What's this for?" she asked with laughter in her voice. I pulled away and smiled at her once again.

"Its a thank you for helping me throw this whole wedding together in a month," I said and she returned my smile. She started to say something when the DJ came back onto the microphone

"Its time for the bride and grooms first dance..." I looked back over to CeeCee who just smiled and escorted me over to the dance floor where Paul was waiting for me. He smiled, kissed me, and pulled me into his arms as the song began to play.

I trust you with my tears
And my secrets never told
I trust you with my hopes and fears
And this hand to hold
I know you'll be true to me
Everywhere we are
In a world filled with uncertainty
I trust you
I trust you with my heart

As we continued to dance, Paul leaned down to me, "I love you Suze," he whispered as he held me closer. I looked up to him and smiled.

"I love you too. And thank you for being here for me...through everything," I said as he replied with a gentle smile and brushed his lips with mine again.

"Of course Suze, you're my everything...you always have been," I smiled and nestled my head into his chest. We continued to dance other family members began dancing as well. Suddenly, we heard CeeCee's squeaky yell.

"Brad, stop grabbing my ass and dance with me the normal way or I swear I'm going to hurt you," she shrieked at Brad who continuously was moving he hand from her back to her behind. I looked at Paul and we both started laughing as we continued dancing.

I've been holding back so long
Afraid to give it all
Lookin for a place to land
Trying not to fall
Showing me how to give
Let me take the time
Wishing somehow we'll just know
When its time to fight

I trust you with my tears
and my secrets never told
I trust you with my hopes and fears
And this hand I hold
I know you'll be true to me
Everywhere we are
In a world filled with uncertainty
I trust you
I trust you with my heart

As Paul and I danced I couldn't help but think about what's happened in the past six years. When I lost Jesse, I thought that my life was over...I didn't think that I would ever feel alive again. But when Paul came to comfort me, I started to feel right again. And now being here in his arms dancing with him and knowing that he'll love me for the rest of my life, I know I can live happy...I can live whole. Even though I know I'll live happy with Paul and always have someone there for me; deep down I will still always love Jesse.

Well that's the end! I hope you all liked it! Again thank you for reading my story and putting up with my not updating quickly!
