Ah...The end is near dear readers.
As unfortunate as that Is I do have a few ideas currently in the works which will be given to you to pick one out of once this particular fic is finished (There may even be a Shadowhunters cross over at some point!!! Only if you guys pick that of course).
Four more chapters to go!
Enjoy!

Oh my god.
The spring fling.
Where do I start?It was amazing. Everything seemed to fall into place that night. Well at least everything that happend over Junior year fell into place. What happend Senior year is something else entirely.
That night I promised Damian I'd never leave him and so far I'm glad to say I've kept the promise, I'm still here aren't I? We always stuck together but it became clear that he wasn't planning on leaving me anytime soon either.
And then there was Regina and Cady.
Cady...
Damian was stood behind me straightening my hair as I did my makeup. It was the night of the spring fling and I still wasn't entirely sure that I wanted to go.
"Last year apparently someone spiked the punch and Shane Oman got real drunk. He wreaked the place." Damian was babbling and somehow not burning me as he did.
"Damian, I love you but please stop talking. I'm developing a headache." I teased, picking at my paint encrusted nails and looking shyly into the mirror in front of me when Damian said he had finished.Although I knew it wouldn't last long I had to admit my hair looked good straight, the front parts were pulled back into clips and it looked sleek and silky. I tugged on the end of a strand thoughtfully, "I wanna get it cut." I mention, watching Damians expression, "My side cut is growing out now, you had to literally pin it back to stop me from looking like an idiot. At least if I cut it, it will all be one length."
Damian twirled a strand inbetween his fingers thoughtfully, "I could cut it for you?"
I felt my eyes widen as I turned to face him, "After last time you're lucky I let you touch my hair."
He stuck his toung out, hugging me from behind and resting his chin on my head, "I think you're forgetting how fierce I made you look."
"Oh I'm not forgetting. But you did it accidentally so I don't have high hopes for the next time." I joked as he pulled back, slapping my arm playfully with an outraged expression.The lights were bright and pulsating at a dizzying rate. Me and Damian had been dancing together, Obi circling around us and making me even dizzier, since we got there. Stopping only to get a drink every now and again.
"Have you spoken to Caddie yet?" Damian asked and we slow danced to a song I didn't recognise and probably never would.
"No, cause that would mean I have to admit that I also did bad things." I mutter, pressing my face into his shoulder with a pitiful moan.
Damian chuckled, his shoulders shaking gently and jolting my head ever so slightly, "Come here hashtag complicit." He soothed, hugging me tighter against his chest and resting his chin on the top of my head, "She's probably going nuts without you, you know."
"I doubt it. Who would miss me?" I muttered again, earning a sharp smack on the back form Damian, "Uh ow?"
"I'd miss you. You're my little space alien, my JanJan. I love you!" He said kindly, pressing a kiss to my hair and rocking us back and forth.
"I'm not little." I state, not moving from my position.
"Keep telling yourself that hun!"
I grumbled, "Watch it." I threatened, "If I'm so small it only means I'm closer to hell. Ya better watch out!"I almost choked on the air around me when I see Cady walk towards us.
"Hey Janis can we talk?" She asks, doing that thing with her face, a nervous scronch me and Damian used to call it.
"Um sorry I'm busy making out with my date!" I stutter turning to Damian and pulling on his collar to lower him to my level, so maybe I am short, "Damian Come here!"
"Ew, no Janis!" Damian cries, pushing my face away from his and turning me by my shoulders. I grin at Cady despite myself, scrunching my own nose up and laughing a little.
"I just wanted to apologies-" She starts to say, going to grab my hand.
"And the winner of spring fling queen is Cady Heron!" Mr Duvalls voice cuts across her words and we both turn, staring up at the stage in utter disbelief.
"Of course." I say, motioning up the steps when Cady gives me a torn look.I step towards her, taking the final peice of the crown from her hands and grinning up at her. Cadys eyes shine brightly back at me and I can't help but laugh as I make my way back over to Damian, placing the crown on his head only for him to take it off and put it back on mine with a signature forehead kiss.
"You deserve to be a queen." He said, hugging me again as Cady finished her speech, "You might not always know it but you're just as beautiful as Regina George."
I feel the blush rise up into my cheeks and hide my face in his shoulder as a way to stem the steady stream of tears that were making their way down my face, "Thank you." I mumble into his shoulder, hugging around Damians waist tightly.
Instead of worrying like he would have if we had been anywhere else he laughed, "As JanJan, getting worked up over a silly crown? Or is it the girl who gave you the crown you're crying over?"
"Shut up!" I giggle, nudging him inn the back, "I love you."
"I love you too Jan."I place a hand to my forehead, feeling a little overwhelmed by emotions and tap Damian shoulder, waiting for him to turn and look at me.
"What is it sweets?" He asked, his brow furrowing.
"I'm going to go outside for a little bit!" I call over the music.
"Are you okay? Do you wanna go home?"
"No it's fine. I'm just a little overwhelmed." I promise, grabbing onto Obis harness and kissing Damian on the cheek in reassurance, "I'll send Obi to find you if I need you."I make my way out the double doors to the gym and sit on one of the benches that were by the doors, letting the cool breeze wash over me and calm me as the pounding music was muffled by the closing doors.
Obi sat by my feet, his head in my lap and his big brown eyes scanning me for any signs of distress as I watched the nights sky.
"I'm okay buddy." I smile, pressing a kiss to his fur and scratching him behind the ear, "We're okay."
The stars shone brightly, glittering against the almost pitch black sky and making the ground beneath them shine faintly in the light of the moon's pearly glow.
I sighed, seeing my head against the gym wall and just staring at the sky, attempting to calm my nerves and my emotions before going back into the party and the hundreds of teens who had despised me up untill three weeks ago.The sound of the double doors opening jolted me from my daydreaming and I turned my head to see a mass of auburn curls and a pair of beautiful green eyes.
"Cady."
