The walk back to the studio was silent. Neither Hudson nor The Red Rose said anything to each other. She kept her gaze forward while he kept glancing at her quite a few times and smiling a little bit. No matter how much she refused to admit it, he knew that this time she had no reason for denying that she saved him. He felt his assumptions that he had assumed before about she turning things around were coming back to him and he bit his lip, smiling shyly as he glanced at her again. She could feel his gaze on her, so she sighed heavily before speaking.

"Instead of glancing at me every 2 seconds, just ask me whatever it is that you want to ask me," The Red Rose instructed harshly and in irritation.

"Sorry, it's just..... this is the second time that you've saved me," Hudson commented with a small smile as he analyzed what she was going to say next.

"So what?" She asked with as shrug, "If you're gonna go on about me turning things around then you can stop before you even start because I don't wanna hear it."

"Yeah, but you saved me again, which clearly shows that you don't just care about stealing," he insisted, proud that he was the first to make that assumption.

"Yes, I saved you again because you were being a complete moron by just standing there," she remarked as she huffed, "And also, what the hell were you doing in this part of the city?! Do you even realize that this part of the city is known for gangs, thugs, drug dealers, psychopaths, and killers?! You're lucky that you weren't dead the minute you stepped into this part of the city!" His eyes widened at that, at the long list of dangerous people that he could have encountered while on this late afternoon stroll.

"Well, I'm not dead thanks to you," he responded with a small shrug. She face palmed and sighed.

"Oh my god, that's not the point," she muttered as she rubbed her temple with her fingers.

"I know, but you saved me and this time it wasn't because you wanted to steal from me, which makes me believe that you were just lying the first time," he went on a rather enthusiastic tone. She stared at him with a weird look on her face as she sighed and shook her head.

"Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?" She asked as she grimaced.

"Come on, it's no use denying it now because it's obvious that you do care when people get hurt," he spoke as he smirked. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Fine. I lied to you about stealing your money the first time," she admitted in defeat, "There are you satisfied?" He had a victorious smile plastered across his face.

"I knew it! I knew that you were actually good!" He hollered as he smiled widely.

"Why are you getting all excited about this?" She asked in confusion as she lifted an eyebrow, "Yes, sure, maybe I'm a good guy. Who really knows though, so stop getting all excited. Geez." He stopped skipping and walked normally, but a smile still remained on his face as they approached the studio. He opened the door to the pleasant aroma of Parker's cooking. He smiled in content as he breathe in the aroma.

"I'm back!" Hudson hollered from the front. At the sound of his voice, the members all rushed to the front and smiled when they saw him.

"Hudson, thank god you're ok," Parker said as he breathed a sigh of relief, "When Gabe said that you weren't in your bedroom, we all got worried and then you didn't answer your phone."

"Oh, sorry about that," Hudson apologized sincerely as he bowed. The members all hugged him tightly before their eyes widened when they noticed The Red Rose standing there, outside. The members stood there staring in shock at her while he simply stepped aside and smiled cheerfully.
