Chapter 16 ; I'm still here

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. আপনি did it sis." Amelia smiled and walked over the Riley giving her a hug. "Thank আপনি for dealing with me." she ব্যক্ত smiling.
"Ewww, don't get all gross on me now." Riley ব্যক্ত 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 ব্যক্ত hugging her back.
"Well, I'm going to go call Belle and tell her what's up" Riley ব্যক্ত walking out of the ware house, "You two do your thing." Riley ব্যক্ত smiling and leaving the ware house.
Amelia turned towards Andrew, "I am so sorry for everything!" she ব্যক্ত standing far from him keeping her distance.
"What?" Andrew ব্যক্ত looking at her confused, he had expected a hug, a kiss, an I প্রণয় you...not an apology.
"This. আপনি being kidnapped, locked up. It's all my fault. I told আপনি to stay away from me." she ব্যক্ত rambling. "Ugh, I totally get it if আপনি want to break up and get the hell away from me."
Andrew walked towards Amelia and smiled, "Are আপনি crazy?" he ব্যক্ত grabbing her and pulling her close to him. "I would endure any pain and any torture if it meant keeping আপনি safe."
"You mean that?"
"I mean that. This was nothing compared to what I could have done for you." Andrew ব্যক্ত smiling.
"I প্রণয় আপনি Andrew Hawkins"
"I প্রণয় আপনি too Amelia Grace."
Andrew leaned down and gave Amelia the চুম্বন they've both been waiting for.
Riley was waiting outside the warehouse, when she saw Belle walk up.
"Hey you" Belle ব্যক্ত smiling and giving Riley a hug.
"Bella Belle, it's over" Riley ব্যক্ত 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 ব্যক্ত he'll call you. Mason went back to his apartment to get cleaned up, he ব্যক্ত he'll probably see আপনি around at school, but I think he just needs some মহাকাশ and a breather after everything that's been going on, আপনি know?"
Riley nodded her head understanding, "Yeah, I get it. But wait, where's Lucas?"
Belle smiled, "That boy is waiting for আপনি 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 ব্যক্ত walking up to him and smiling, "Didn't expect to see আপনি here."
"Really? and why is that?" Lucas asked smirking at her.
"Oh আপনি know, just thought you'd run, now that the crazy man is dead. আপনি no longer have to be around the girl who's constantly getting আপনি in trouble."
Lucas leaned in towards Riley, "And what if I told আপনি I don't mind being around that girl."
Riley looked up at him, "You sure, what if I told আপনি 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 আপনি agree to be my girlfriend."
Riley smiled, "Deal" Lucas then leaned down and kissed his girlfriend.
5 MONTHS LATER
"Riles! Where are you? Are আপনি 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 আপনি talk to mom?" Amelia questioned sitting down on Riley's bed.
"Yup, all done!" Riley ব্যক্ত smiling.
"Who are আপনি 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 ব্যক্ত smiling.
"Aww that's sweet." Amelia ব্যক্ত 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, আপনি have everything---" Amelia began to ramble when Riley cut her off.
"Amelia, we've been over this." Riley ব্যক্ত 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 ব্যক্ত leaning over and hugging Riley, "I can't believe my little sister is leaving প্রথমপাতা and going to college."
"Dude, chill I'll be back every weekend to annoy the crap out of আপনি and Andrew."
"You better." Amelia ব্যক্ত 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 আপনি around, sis."
Amelia laughed, "Because আপনি প্রণয় me."
"Dude, shut up." Riley ব্যক্ত hugging her sister again.
And that's how the Grace sisters spent the পরবর্তি hour. Laughing, teasing, and finally being happy.
They had made it.
