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