"Because you love me."
Riley watched as Alaric's bloody body lay on the floor cold, still. She looked up and smiled at Amelia, "You can breathe now, it's over. wewe did it sis." Amelia smiled and walked over the Riley giving her a hug. "Thank wewe for dealing with me." she alisema smiling.
"Ewww, don't get all gross on me now." Riley alisema laughing and pushing Amelia away she then walked over to Andrew giving him a hug, "I'm glad your okay, dude."
"Right back at ya, kid." he alisema hugging her back.
"Well, I'm going to go call Belle and tell her what's up" Riley alisema walking out of the ware house, "You two do your thing." Riley alisema smiling and leaving the ware house.
Amelia turned towards Andrew, "I am so sorry for everything!" she alisema standing far from him keeping her distance.
"What?" Andrew alisema looking at her confused, he had expected a hug, a kiss, an I upendo you...not an apology.
"This. wewe being kidnapped, locked up. It's all my fault. I told wewe to stay away from me." she alisema rambling. "Ugh, I totally get it if wewe want to break up and get the hell away from me."
Andrew walked towards Amelia and smiled, "Are wewe crazy?" he alisema grabbing her and pulling her close to him. "I would endure any pain and any torture if it meant keeping wewe safe."
"You mean that?"
"I mean that. This was nothing compared to what I could have done for you." Andrew alisema smiling.
"I upendo wewe Andrew Hawkins"
"I upendo wewe too Amelia Grace."
Andrew leaned down and gave Amelia the kiss they've both been waiting for.
Riley was waiting outside the warehouse, when she saw Belle walk up.
"Hey you" Belle alisema smiling and giving Riley a hug.
"Bella Belle, it's over" Riley alisema returning the hug.
"It is."
Riley smiled, "So where are the others?"
"Jacob went home, because his mom was freaking out on him...but he alisema he'll call you. Mason went back to his apartment to get cleaned up, he alisema he'll probably see wewe around at school, but I think he just needs some space and a breather after everything that's been going on, wewe know?"
Riley nodded her head understanding, "Yeah, I get it. But wait, where's Lucas?"
Belle smiled, "That boy is waiting for wewe in the car?"
Riley smiled, "He is? He didn't run?"
"Nope."
Riley walked to the car and saw Lucas leaning against it. "Hey sexy." Riley alisema walking up to him and smiling, "Didn't expect to see wewe here."
"Really? and why is that?" Lucas asked smirking at her.
"Oh wewe know, just thought you'd run, now that the crazy man is dead. wewe no longer have to be around the girl who's constantly getting wewe in trouble."
Lucas leaned in towards Riley, "And what if I told wewe I don't mind being around that girl."
Riley looked up at him, "You sure, what if I told wewe that there's no guarantee in the crazy going away?"
"Then I'll endure it all, on one condition."
Riley looked at him confused, "I knew there had to be a catch."
"I'll endure it all if wewe agree to be my girlfriend."
Riley smiled, "Deal" Lucas then leaned down and kissed his girlfriend.
5 MONTHS LATER
"Riles! Where are you? Are wewe all packed?" Amelia screamed looking for her little sister.
"In my room, Amelia!" Riley hollered back.
Amelia walked into Riley's room to see her texting someone. Her room was all packed up and filled with boxes and bags.
"Did wewe talk to mom?" Amelia questioned sitting down on Riley's bed.
"Yup, all done!" Riley alisema smiling.
"Who are wewe texting right now?"
"Oh Mason, he says Chicago's awesome, and he's loving his job down there. He wished me luck for NYU." Riley alisema smiling.
"Aww that's sweet." Amelia alisema returning the smile.
After the craziness and drama with Alaric it took everyone sometime to get used to normal. In the last four months Andrew had officially moved into the Grace's apartment and his relationship with Amelia was going great. Belle had returned to work and was focusing on her career. Lucas and Riley had been taking it slow at first and getting to know each other. Riley still however kept in touch with Mason, who had moved to Chicago after everything that had happened. Jacob had gotten accepted to Berkeley in California and had moved down there last month. Him and Riley talk to each other every single day.
"So kid, you're going to be fine in NYU, right? I mean your dorm is all good, wewe have everything---" Amelia began to ramble when Riley cut her off.
"Amelia, we've been over this." Riley alisema laughing. "I'm going to be fine, besides Luke's apartment is like right there. If I ever need anything I've got him."
"Good" Amelia alisema leaning over and hugging Riley, "I can't believe my little sister is leaving nyumbani and going to college."
"Dude, chill I'll be back every weekend to annoy the crap out of wewe and Andrew."
"You better." Amelia alisema smiling and hugging Riley even tighter.
Riley broke the hug and looked at Amelia, "I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'll actually miss having wewe around, sis."
Amelia laughed, "Because wewe upendo me."
"Dude, shut up." Riley alisema hugging her sister again.
And that's how the Grace sisters spent the inayofuata hour. Laughing, teasing, and finally being happy.
They had made it.
"This was nothing compared to what I could have done for you."
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'll actually miss having you around, sis."
"I'll endure it all if you agree to be my girlfriend."
"Belle, it's over." "It is."
Alaric was right. She wouldn't shoot him.
"My sister's a bounty hunter, what do you think?"
"I fight my fights alone."
Amelia was the strongest person he ever knew and he knew that no words or actions every affected her, except for when it came to Riley.
New York City - the home of the Grace sisters
"You'll only remember your dear sister who you loved every time you see this shadow of her, who is incapable of loving."
"Today's going to be bad. I have a feeling."
"Are you really going to go back?"
Sophie was fine on her own, too. She was smart.
YOU<33 LUB.

“Is this really the life you choose?” “Absolutely”, Charming said.
“Maybe someday.”
Snow closed her eyes. “It just hurts too much.”
"I’m the most pathetic dating company anyone could ever have”, Grace said.
“Thank you”, he whispered, but said nothing more. He was feeling too heartbroken.
“I believe a family died in the fire”, the woman said. “No survivors?” Daniel asked in confusion.
"It's smiling."
"I hurt Belle. I hurt her. And I apparently hurt Charming and Snow, too."
