I sat in the uncomfortable chair slowly tapping my fingers against the armrest on my right as I waited for the boy I loved to exit the room he had been cooped up in for the last two months. My mind still raced with the same thoughts and I couldn’t seem to put the uneasy feelings of how it was all my fault. Even though everyone keeps telling me it isn’t it still felt like it was. The past two months had been insane as it was. After another week of waiting for Ross’ fever to go down, he had finally been well enough to start getting the therapy he needed but it was all over now. He was finally allowed to come home and I was impatiently waiting for him in the front of the building. I was just happy that all of the crazy things that had been happening had stopped. Rocky was slowly getting his memory back with the help of us that is and Riker found another girl which made me extraordinarily happy. Riker trailed in front, Ross was wearing a huge grin as he was assisted by Rydel over to where I sat. I stood up a once I saw them coming.
“You excited to finally come home?” I asked him in which he simply nodded to. I smiled, turning to follow them out of the hospital for what I hoped was the last time and walking them over to Riker’s car. The drive to the house was load, the three sibling talking about a lot of things that I hadn’t experience so I stayed quiet in the back seat letting them chat. Finally, we pulled into the driveway and the car engine died. I stepped out of the car with Rydel and Riker then went to the other side to help Ross out. He had slide open his door and was waiting for me.
“That’s real nice of them to leave and not even help us” I said as I watched Rydel and Riker walk up to the house and disappear inside.
“It’s okay I sent them away” he said as I helped him out.
“Why?” I asked.
“I wanted to talk to you.” he finally answered when we had started to walk toward the house.
“About what?” Suddenly he stopped me and spun me around so I was facing him.
“That day I was in the hospital and you were fighting with your mom, you told her you loved me. Do you still?”
The question caught me off guard me. I looked up at him unsure what to say. “What's not to love?” I finally choked out “But it doesn’t matter.” I started to turn toward the door again but he stopped me.
“Why do you say that?”
“You probably don’t feel the same” I awkwardly said.
“What! Why would you think that?”
“Just look at me. I’m ugly!” After I said that I felt something under my chin. Ross lifted my head up and moved the hair out of my face.
“You are beautiful, Alex, just the way you are and I wouldn’t want anything to change” he said “But it doesn’t matter to me what you look like. I like what’s on the inside. A warm hearted, caring girl who will never leave your side.”
I looked at him for a moment. “Do you love me?” I asked in a whispered. Suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me and pull me into a hug. I looked up at him and he smiled then before I knew it his lips were on mine. I relaxed in his grip and closed my eyes then brought my arms up and wrapped them around the back of his neck. We didn’t move as we stood there, kissing. Finally Ross loosened his grip and pulled away.
“Did that answer your question?” he whispered. I looked up at him, smiling and nodded. “Thats my girl” he said as he stroked the back of my head. We stood in front of the door with our arms wrapped around each other. “Come on lets go inside” Ross said after a little bit. I nodded, and we turned toward the door then walked the rest of the way to it. Ross opened the it and we went inside. And as the door closed I felt the past melt away. As if it had just been a bad dream, a memory and I knew the future was much brighter.

-Author's Note- So this is the last chapter. Sorry I ended it so quickly, I just ran out of ideas and I was wanting to focus on my other stories but I had previously written most of this chapter already so I decided to just end it there. There most likely wont be a sequal to this story, but if I do decide to write one it won't be for a long time. Thanks for reading ~Sophi
