Aria's Pov:

Everyone rushed around me. Tending to the injured and dead. Leo had been taken away so that they could tend to him first. 

I just sat there. Looking into nowhere. In the distance. Guilt clawing at me. slowly beating me senseless. 

Sunny didn't need to die. Emmaline didn't need to die. It was me he was after and it was me who should have been in their place. 

"SHE'S GOT A PULSE."  

I snapped my neck up. 

"Who? Who?" I begged. 

Vivienne crouched down next to me. "Hey. Hey, calm down darling. It's fine. None of this was your fault. you know that right? there is a limit that we all have." 

"It should have been me Vivi. It should have been me." I choked. 

"Well, I'm sure as hell glad it wasn't. I know that's mean and selfish but think of Leo. He would have gotten stabbed for nothing right?" She explained. 

"Who has a pulse? Who is it?" I asked her insistently. 

I didn't know who I wanted it to be. Sunny for myself or Emma for Lex. 

"The kid who was found at the bottom of the building. She's broke her legs real bad and her arm is looking real broken as well." Vivienne gently explained. 

"Emma." I whispered out. 

I sighed in relief, she would be fine. At least Lex wouldn't have to deal with her loss. I swiped the tears from my face and looked up high. 

I was being selfish right now. Asking for too much. At least Emma wasn't going to be implemented by this. She would recover and she could be happy with Marie and Lex. 

Just then a bleary eyed Eros made his way towards me. 

I didn't even have anytime to say anything when he grabbed my arm. 

"What did she say? What were her last words?" He demanded. 

I blinked at him. I was unable to process his question. 

"Sunny, what did she say. What were her last words?" He pleaded.

His eyes were red and his hair a complete mess. Every line of his face was etched with a greif that was so strong that it took my entire breath away. 

Eros loved Susannah 

It wasn't the cute kind of love either. It was the desperate and unrequited love. I doubt Sunny would have even known. 

One thing was clear. I could never tell Eros what Sunny's last words were. It was all about Aiden.

"You heard her last words Eros." I breathed out. 

"No I mean before that. Did she say anything- anything about me?" He desperately asked 

I knew I should lie to him I knew I should but he deserved to know the truth at least. He couldn't go living in a complete lie.
