ROMAN, COURTNEY, SIDNEY And Dewey sat behind an ambulance while Aileen went with Richie to the hospital. Vince and Arianna left with Laurie, Scarlet with Gale and Anastasia. Sam stayed behind while the paramedics checked on Tara.

Aileen stroked Richie's hair out of his face "I love you, okay?"

Richie held her hand, kissing it gently "I love you, too."

Aileen giggled, leaning down to plant a kiss on his forehead. Richie groaned a bit, running his good hand through her hair. Aileen was glad they made it.

"Thank you, Richie Kirsch." Aileen smiled, stroking his hair, sitting up to look at him.

Richie croaked out, moving her hair out of her face "Thank you, Aileen Bridger."

She giggled, kissing his palm. They survived and that's all that mattered.

AILEEN SAT IN The waiting room with Arianna, resting her head on the other's shoulder. Arianna rested her head on top of Aileen's.

"Richie's tough, he'll make it." Arianna consoled her best friend, holding her hand, rubbing her thumb over her hand.

Aileen sighed, biting her lip "What are we gonna do?"

Arianna looked down at her hands, sighing deeply "Laurie is moving to Ohio for a semester. All of us are moving to New York, I'm sure Richie would like to be with us all as well. He really cares about you, he doesn't shut up about you. At all."

Scarlet walked over with three cups of coffee "Trust me, Richie Kirsch is smitten with you."

Aileen tore up and covered her mouth. Richie talked about her to them? Why?

"He also asked for my permission to let him marry you, but just know if he hurts you I'll break his neck and I won't regret it." Scarlet giggled, sitting next to Aileen, handing her cousin and best friend their coffees.

"He said that?" Aileen questioned, opening a sugar packet, putting it in her coffee with some creamer, stirring the coffee.

Arianna nodded, smirking "You have him in your back pocket, beautiful."

Aileen giggled, looking over to Arianna "Really?"

Scarlet hummed in response, leaning into her cousin "So, are you gonna marry him in the near future and have little Roachies?"

Aileen blushed, sipping her coffee "I plead the fifth, Scarbear."

Arianna and Scarlet squealed. They knew it. Aileen finished her coffee, sighing.

"Thank you both for being here. Vince needs Arianna more than anything since his sister's leaving and I know Scarlet won't plan on running away again." Aileen eyed her cousin, eyebrow raised in questioning.

Scarlet shook her head "I have to make sure my sister's okay."

Aileen smiled a bit, nodding. Off to New York they all go.
