Chapter 19.

Embry's P.O.V

I looked at Kate's face as she laughed at something Quil said and smiled to myself. Everything had been perfect after she had come back, and she seemed to handle everything pretty well. Except for the nightmares. She would wake up a few times during the night, screaming. I hated to see her that way, but I hoped it would go away eventually.

"What are you wearing to prom, Kate?" Kim asked and Kate smiled at her.

"I don't think I'm going to prom. I mean, no one has asked me so..." she trailed off and glanced at me and I felt myself blush.

"I meant to, I mean, we're going together right? I mean, I can ask you now" I was rambling, and everyone laughed at me. Kate giggled and took my hand in hers.

"I'm kidding" she said and I sighed in relief. I never wanted to hurt her. "But I don't think I can go though, I'm grounded you know" she continued.

Kate had gotten a call from her parents in England a few hours after she had gotten home, and they were really mad at her for going away like that without telling her aunt and uncle. Of course we couldn't say she had gotten kidnapped by a vampire, so she had just apologized, which of course led to her being grounded for a month.

"I can talk to your parents" I offered and she smiled.

"That would be great, but I don't think they'll change their mind" she said and stood up.

We were in the cafeteria at school and we were just about to go to our next class.

"Talk to you later" she said to Kim and we walked hand in hand to our English class.

I had never thought that this would happen, that I would walk next to my imprint, my Kate, holding her hand like it was the most normal thing in the world. From seeing her at the airport that first time, to seeing her leave again, and her being kidnapped. Things really seemed to be heading in the right direction.

"I love you" she suddenly said as we were walking and I smiled at her.

"I love you too" I said and kissed her.

Yeah, everything was perfect.

The end.

A/N: So this was a sudden end to a long story, but I think that they deserve some happiness now, without the drama, so I'm gonna let them have some peace!

Keep your eyes open fellow readers, I'm writing a new story at the moment that I will publish soon. I've written Paul's imprint story already, but I think I'll write a new one because I feel like it. I mean, I love Paul. So keep your eyes open, and thank you all for reading! If you haven't read my other stories it would mean the world to me if you did so. And also if you could review this last chapter and tell me what you thought!
