    Amy thought she was dreaming, she simply just couldn't believe her eyes. She was truely happy. It was Aj. She cried endless tears. She screamed that she hated him, but Aj knew exactly what she was trying to tell him. Out of all the things they went through, she was trying to say 'I love you.' Amy was so frustrated and confused, the most obvious question slipped from her lips.

    "How can this be? You died!" She said, nearly yelling at him.

    "I went to the hospital. Who ever said I died?" Aj laughed and rolled his eyes.

    As soon as Aj said this, Amy fell into his arms and hugged him until no end. Until she felt the braclet she clutched in her hand, everything was fine. Amy looked at the bracelet and realized that it was still going to end. she remembered everything that happened with Tanner. He eyes began to fill with guilt. She backed away from Aj and hung her head. She gently reached out and held the bracelet and placed it in Aj's hand

    "Amy." He spoke ever so calmly. "What are you doing?" Curiousity wrapped around his words like a bow on a Christmas present.

    Amy looked to the ground and softly replied, "I betrayed you . . . "

    Aj just simply looked at Amy. Next he looked to the bracelet. Finally, he let out a full, monsterous laugh.

    "Why is that so funny?" Amy said, offended, nearly yelling at him.

    Aj calmly took her hand a latched the braclet securly on her wrist. He then spoke to her as he looked deep into her eyes. "Keep the heart. You earned it, from me, and what's earned is yours. Forever."

    Amy's eyes began to water and she started to cry. all Aj could do was hug her because they bother knew that, for once, these were tears of joy. Aj found this the perfect time to ask a question that hasn;t been mentioned once since Aj returned home.

    "So, are we getting married tomorrow or what?" He said, his voice suddenly perky.
