Charlotte has been in the hospital for three weeks now and today she's being discharged, Mia is worried there's someone still lurking in the distance, Roger is still in prison, her and her father relationship is getting back on track, but Mia has a gut feeling and it's not going away.

Time is dragging and the nurses bring Charlotte discharge papers for her to sign. Josh is waiting in the car park for them to come out, Mia packs char's belongings up as a nurses helps Charlotte into a wheelchair "ready to go sweetheart?" The redhead nervously asks, a bright smile rising on char's mouth is all the words Mia needs and they head out to the car thanking the nurses as they leave.

"Hey char welcome back" Josh beams at the small brunette "thank you for everything" she tells him as they drive off.

Mia's pov:

I can char is nervous, she's had therapy for the trauma and they want her to continue with it for how ever long she needs it and I'm going to be here supporting her every step of the way, I can't be anymore proud of her, she recovered so well and she even stopped having nightmares. What if they come back? I think to myself all I know is that she needs me and I'm going to be there for whenever she does.

I'm so lost in my thoughts I didn't realise we pulled into the driveway, Josh gets out and opens the back door picking char up and carry her inside, I love how much her loves her just as much as I do, I know she's going to be safe with him around. I take her bags inside and grab a blanket as we cuddle on the sofa putting a film on "what shall we watch?" I ask I already know the answer to this "Can we watch High School Musical?" "I had a feeling you was gonna pick that, you just want to perv on Gabriella" I tease her.

It's been 4 weeks now and char has made a full recovery we've even gone back to school, our GCSEs have finally started and we're both stressed, but there's only two more exams left till we finish and me and char have made so many plans before we start college. We got into the same college and we managed to get the same bedroom too, normally we wouldn't need a bedroom it's only college but it's out the way and it will be hard travelling back and forth, but we come home on weekends to see family.

We're on lunch and my phone rings I don't know the number but I answer anyways.

Phone call:
Man: hello is this Amelia Robert's?
Mia: Hi this is Mia, who's this?
Man: Hello I'm one of the police officers who works at the prison Roger knight is, I've informed Reece and Autumn Knight that Roger has unfortunately ran into an Altercation which has caused him to be killed. I do have to go now I just wanted to inform you as you were down as being involved in the incident. Best of luck for the future Amelia.

As the call ended I can't help but feel relief, all the anxiety and fear I've been living in now lifting off my shoulders, "Char, listen to me and listen closely" my voice stern hoping she will understand "what is it Mia?" Worried in her voice "Roger got into an altercation in the prison, he dead char, he's gone we're free, no more, no more anxiety" I explain. I watch as the relief sets on her face and pulls me into a hug.

We're free, we can live our lives together, in college and university.

A/N I enjoyed writing this book, thank you for all the votes I really appreciate them, but after this chapter I can't see anything else being added onto it.
