I fell back against one of his pillows. What would the consequences of this be? Hopefully nobody found out.

"I could just lay here forever." Drake murmured.

"What makes you say that?" my voice cracked slightly.

"I'm exhausted, and with you."

"I can agree with that." He lifted himself off of me, walking over to his closet, probably changing, so I picked myself up too. I got dressed, and when he came out, I smiled. I looked at him, noticing every detail, the way he held himself, his smile, the gleam in his eyes. It was all beautiful and parts of him I had neglected to notice until now.

I picked up my phone, checking the time. It was slightly passed 8:30. That's alright though. I was already in trouble, what did I have to lose?

"You look concerned?" Drake asked. I didn't even realize I was making faces.

"My parents will be so mad. They know I'm here. Matt told them, I had to sneak out, because he wouldn't let me leave."

"I want to come with you."

"What?" I asked, not comprehending what he had asked.

"I want to come with you. If you're in trouble, then so am I. I invited you over. We'll do this together." He took my hand.

He pulled me to the door, and as we made way down the stairs to face the world, I felt no regret for my life. If I was in trouble for choosing my life, then so be it. It dawned on me though, I wanted to call this place home. Michelle was like the mother I never had, or never will have. This is the place I call home. The place where I feel safe. The place where I'm supported, and no matter where life takes me, at the end of the day, I was never alone.

So here we are at the end. ^_^ I'll probably have a short epilogue after this. The grand finale. ^_^

Thanks for taking this journey with me, I loved your support through this. I hoped you enjoyed Kristen's adventures as much as I did.

Lyric Motivation for Chapter 24:

Nana nananana nana-na-eh

Nana nananana nana-na-eh

Yes, Miss Lopez

Hi, I'm Tune, the man on the moon

I live on the beach, get the sand out ya shoes

And all of that changed since I met you

So we can leave that old shit in the restroom

Ok, I'm into you, like you never knew

I'm falling for you baby, I need a parachute

So wet, I need a wetsuit

You're way too fly, I could be ya jet fuel

Now tell me what you like

I like what you tell me

And if you understand me, you can overwhelm me

It's too late, it's too late

Every finish line is the beginning of a new race

Young Money!

You got me and I could not defend it

I tried but I had to surrender

Your style got me under the spell

Let me no other choice but to get down

It's too late, it's too late

It's too late, it's too late

You got it, you got it

You got it, you got it

When I look into your eyes, it's over

You got me hooked with your love controller

I'm trippin' and I could not get over

I feel lucky like a four leaf clover

I'm into you, I'm into you

I'm into you, yeaaah

I'm into you, I'm into you

I'm into you, yeaaah

Nana nananana nana-na-eh

Nana nananana nana-na-eh

Listen, now I'm strong baby I bring the fire on

Sharp shooter you can call me the zion

I'm not the one easy to get to

But all that changed, baby when I met you

It's too late, it's too late

It's too late, it's too late

You got it, you got it

You got it, you got it

When I look into your eyes, it's over

You got me hooked with your love controller

I'm trippin' and I could not get over

I feel lucky like a four leaf clover

I'm into you, I'm into you

I'm into you, yeaaah

Get it on if you feeling my world now

I love the way that you moving

And I'm listening to how you grooving

So if you need me, just call on the cruise

We can be whatever that you want in the news

Boy, cause I'm on it and you on it

So we just tell me now

You got me hooked with your love controller
