The police and ambulances came to the dojo. Y/n and Sam walked together. An EMT took them to an ambulance and checked them for any injuries. They cleaned up Y/n's nose. Soon after some investigators came and asked them questions. After they were done the emt gave them a blanket and some water as they sat in the back of the ambulance.

"So...we cool again?" Y/n asked Sam as she sipped her water. "Yeah. Miguel talked some sense into me. What matters is that you did tell us about Silver. I'm sorry for freaking out on you" Sam replied. Y/n shook her head "No your reaction was totally okay, I would've reacted the same way."

"I, uh, also should've let you confront Demetri by yourself" Sam added. "Okay—I agree on that" Y/n laughed lightly. Sam giggled. Sam looked afar and saw Miguel leaning on a car by himself. Y/n looked as well.

"Go on~" Y/n teased. Sam playfully rolled her eyes "stop it" Sam said before walking away to Miguel.

Just as Sam walked away Andy took her spot. "Hey," He said "what a coincidence seeing you here," Andy said. Y/n chuckled "right."

"So are you guys on good terms now?" Andy asked. "Me and Sam? Yeah." Y/n answered. "That's good" Andy nodded. Andy looked around "I guess we won't have to worry about Amelia anymore," Andy said. "Yeah. I hope she's gone for a while" Y/n said. "Me too" Andy responded

Demetri sat with Nate and Eli. He sipped his water with a blanket around his shoulders. He watched Y/n and Andy talking together. Eli was talking with Nate when he noticed his friend not saying any comments like he usually would especially after 'kicking Kyler's ass'

"Yo man, you good?" Eli asked. Demetri shook his head looking away from Andy and Y/n. "Yeah, I'm cool" The raven-haired boy answered.

Nate looked over at Y/n and Andy who now we're chuckling together. "Ohh," Nate said now understanding. "What?" Eli asked. Nate nodded his head toward the H/c-haired girl and the chocolate-haired boy. "Oh, I see. Maybe you guys should talk" Eli said.

"Or buy her stuff like you said you would," Eli joked. Demetri rolled his eyes "I think I'll wait till he leaves" Demetri said. "Dude, Andy doesn't really have anyone to go to right now. The only person he really knows is Y/n." Eli reminded. "He's not going nowhere"

"Just go talk to her, don't be a chicken," Eli said. This reminds me of when I was trying to ask Y/n out for the first time. Eli said the same thing Demetri thought. "Kay, fine. Fine" Demetri said as he got up from the ambulance.

Andy shivered "here you go" Y/n took the blanket off her shoulders and handed it to him "Nah, I'm fine," Andy said. "Dude take it." Y/n continued "No I'm okay," Andy said "take it" Y/n insisted "I'm fine—" Andy protested

Demetri walked up to the pair. Once noticing the raven-haired boy Y/n gulped and dropped the blanket into her lap. "Demetri..."

Andy stopped. He sat up straight. Demetri stood awkwardly. "Uh, look, man. I'm sorry about everything I did last year and this year. I was—" Andy sighed in disappointment "I was being a total dick. I'm seriously sorry. You know, uh, I don't expect any forgiveness. But if you did...I'd like to, uh, be friends?" Andy said.

Demetri's mouth was slightly opened. Surprised was a good way to describe it. Sure, Andy had apologized earlier but he thought he didn't actually mean it. Now he looked and sounded like he really regretted his actions.

"I forgive you," Demetri said. Andy nodded with a smile "cool. I'll, uh, leave you guys to it" Andy said finally taking Y/n's blanket. "Wish me luck!" Andy said as he walked over to Eli.

Y/n chuckled slightly before looking down at her hands realizing Demetri was still there. He played with the blanket around his shoulders. He pursed his lips looking at the H/c. He let out a small exhale and opened his mouth to speak to Y/n.

"You know you don't have to apologize," Y/n said "I feel like every time I do something you always apologize. And you shouldn't because it's me who messes up." Y/n finally looked Demetri in the eyes "I should've told you first. I know I should've. I just—it's just..." Y/n paused "we finally had gotten back together. I was on good terms with everyone and I didn't want to mess it up after I made up with all of you guys"Y/n explained.

"I'm so s-sorry, Demetri" Y/n choked on her words.  "If you still need space...or if you want to, you know, be done. I'll understand. I wouldn't want to be with me either" Y/n said. Tears began to flow down her cheeks. She scoffed at herself "jeez" Y/n wiped her tears.

This broke Demetri. He just watched her break down. Demetri shook his head "no, no. Y/n" Demetri sat beside Y/n. "Look, I'm still gonna apologize," Demetri informed. "When we talked to Stingray...I saw the fear in his eyes as he talked about what happened. It made me think about you. I'm sorry I didn't understand. I should've just listened to you and talked somewhere else. I never should've just talked to you in front of everyone. Maybe we would've had a, uh, different outcome. What I said was completely uncalled for"

"Last time...that was all me. It was entirely my fault and yet you still apologized." Demetri grabbed her hands and interlaced her fingers with his "You are the only girl who's ever paid attention to me and meant it. Before the karate, you still liked lanky, awkward, necromancer me." Demetri's eyes looked into Y/n's e/c-colored eyes. "And I—I don't want to lose you. Because I like you way too much to do that." Demetri said "more than Yasmine?" Y/n sadly joked "most def." Demetri said. Y/n gave him a gentle smile.

"I love you" Demetri trucked a hair strand behind Y/n's ear. "I love you too" Y/n replied. The two leaned in and shared a kiss. Even after so much times it always felt different.

They pulled apart and they leaned their foreheads together. The two laughed together. Demetri wrapped the blanket around Y/n's shoulders. "I see you shivering," said Demetri "was not" Y/n playfully rolled her eyes. "I definitely saw it. Or was it because of me?" Demetri teased.

"Ugh" Y/n blushed as she leaned into Demetri. Demetri kissed the top of  Y/n's head as his arm snaked around her waist. Together again.
