Disclaimer: I do not own JN. So this is the last chapter of the story. I am sorry to see it done. I think that if I have gone longer it would've lost it's steam. It would just be so many filter chapters. But anyways, thank you to everyone who read it and reviewed.

On with the story!

**Epilogue**

It has been 10 days since the whole ordeal with Tyler. Cindy's parents have press charges against him and he will soon go to trial. About two days after she was kidnapped, Cindy was taken to her grandmother's house. Her parents believe she needed to get away to regroup. Jimmy had agree initially but now he wish she would come back. There were some matters to take care of.

Jimmy was currently in his backyard, relaxing. VOX had somehow contracted a virus and was trying to overcome it. Plus he needed to go out more. Unnatural pale skin was not attractive in anyway.

He was lying on his back, eyes close when a shadow loomed over him. He opened his eyes to see Cindy standing there.

"Hey," she said. He smiled and sat up, patted the ground next to him. She sat down.

"Hi, just got back?" he asked.

"Yeah. I couldn't wait though. I mean I love my grandma but not so much her tales of the cats she has own." she smiled. They sat in silence for a while, not knowing how to continue. Cindy broke the silence.

"I know that we have a lot to talk about," she started.

"Yeah..."

Cindy sighed, "What do you want to know?"

"I would like the truth."

"I figured. Well as you heard the reason I did the whole fake dating thing was to get rid of Tyler. I really didn't know or thought he would go the lengths he did. I figure that if I "hooked" up with someone then he would leave me alone."

Jimmy asked, "And what about your feelings about me?"

Cindy looked away, gathering her thoughts. It was now or never.

"You have to know that what I said was not a lie to justify what I had done," she started, quietly. "I really have been in love with you since we were kids."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was scared. It always seem you had a certain type. All the girls you have dated or crushed on were so alike: sweet, sensitive etc. I was never like that to you. I thought you just saw me as some rival."

Jimmy scooted closer to her "I'll admit that I did seem to have a type but that didn't mean anything. I was scared to tell you my feelings."

Cindy looked at him, "What?"

"I've also been in love with you since we were kids. I thought you never would like me back. I did get a feeling, once in a while, that you did though. But I didn't want to risk anything, whether rejection or even humilation from you."

Cindy shook her head, "Wow, we are idiots. We could have avoided all this if we got our heads out the clouds."

Jimmy laughed along with her and scooted closer and placed an arm around her. She leaned on him.

"So what do we do now?" he asked.

"I think we should take it slow. I know that some people will be doubt us."

"Carl and Sheen will. As will my parents. I told them the night after the whole...ordeal."

Cindy said, " Yeah did the same with Libby and my parents. Libby finally forgave me yesterday."

"Sure did." came Libby's voice. She, Carl and Sheen walked around the side of Jimmy's house. They sat in from of Jimmy and Cindy.

"Hey guys. We were just talking about the Tyler thing," Jimmy said.

"We are really sorry that we lied to you about us dating. I figured if no one knew that we be more convincing," Cindy replied.

"You know I can keep a secret Cin."

"Yeah I know but it was you said that if I want to be sneaky I have to cover ALL my tracks."

Sheen shook his head, "Seriously this has been some crazy shit!" The others nodded.

"So," Carl started, " What are you two gonna do?"

"Well I thought that maybe we should go slowly. I mean did confess our feelings so we will see how it will go." replied Cindy.

"And this time it will be real. We promise." Jimmy said.

"So, you ready to face Tyler when trial starts." Libby turned to Cindy.

"Yeah, as I will ever be."

"What was he charge with?" Jimmy asked.

"Kidnapping, assault with deadly weapon. There may be more. It seems Tyler has a problem with the law." Cindy leaned back on her elbows.

"Damn," Carl said.

Cindy nodded, "Since Tyler is under 18, he will probably go to juvie. And of course some psychiatric treatment."

"No restraining order," Jimmy asked.

"But of course. Can't be closer than 300 yards. I heard he may transfer schools."

Libby sighed, "That's good."

"Okay this is getting seriously depressing. Let's head to the Cany Bar. I think there is some special going on." Sheen and Carl stood up. Anything that involve food could get them on their feet.

"Yeah, I can use some ice cream. The heat is killing me."

The others got up.

"So no hard feelings about keeping a secret," Jimmy asked.

"It's okay. We've been keeping a secret bet about you two for years," Carl blurted out, before covering his mouth. Libby and Sheen shot him a death glare.

"You've been secretly betting us?" Cindy exclaimed. The accused trio nodded their heads sheepishly.

"Who won?" Jimmy said.

"Carl did. Got 25 bucks out of it." Cindy and Jimmy shook their heads. Figured they better leave before it got worse, the others turned and walked away. Jimmy started after them but Cindy pulled him back. Before he could say anything, she kissed him softly on the lips.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"I never properly thank you for saving me." she replied, a blush covered her face.

"You're welcome, " he smiled. They walked towards their friends, arms around each other and totally in love.

THE END!

A/N: And that is it. Sorry if it is short but I just wanted to get to the point and not just write to take up space. Okay, I will be doing a one shot sequel but it won't be until at least early next week. I still need to think of what to do exactly. I do know it takes place about 18 months after this story, right before winter break in their college freshmen year.

Okay and now I have a challenge. I have been thinking of doing a series of one shots. But I am not posting them separately. I was thinking that maybe you all can help. If there's anything you like for me to write about, that is not complex and can be done between 500-5000 words, you can tell to me. It could be about anything JN related, any couple or whatever. Maybe there is a certain theme you would like to see.

So if anything comes to mind, you can either sent me a private message or write in the review section.

Thank you again for sticking with this story. It was so much fun to write. Hope to hear from you soon. Laters!

REVIEW PLEASE!
