FOUR MONTHS LATER

Emily had barely made it out. She wasn't conscious until she woke up at the hospital, both Tara and Sam holding her hands on both sides of the bed.

Emily thought Mindy and Chad were dead until they reassured her that they had both made it out alive- which she thought was crazy considering how many times Chad had been stabbed.

Kirby and Gale had also made it out- once again shockingly.

The first thing the girls had asked Emily were where Ethan was.

She had no idea- he had probably flee the state by now, but she hoped he was okay.

It was hard for the girls to understand how she could've let him go, how she could've been okay with all this- but Emily had told them that they had to get used to the idea of her being in love with him even after what he put them through. She believed he was still good. And eventually- they understood.

After all 5 were out of the hospital, they decided to move. They had stayed in New York- just not in the same areas the crimes had been committed in.

They had transferred colleges- Emily even changed  her course to criminology. She wanted to catch the bad guys- she wanted to be a part of something bigger.  And she loved it.

Emily saw Ethan everywhere. Obviously, he was never really there, or so she thought. But when she would go grab coffee before class, she would see him in the line only for it to be someone also with curly hair.

She would see him every night in her dreams and nightmares- she couldn't take a break.
In her dreams- he would tell her that he's sorry- that he's okay- and that he's looking out for her.
In her nightmares she would replay Quinn stabbing her- she would go back to the moment she saw his face change- when he realized that he was about to lose her.
In some of them- their fate would be different- one of them would die- most of the time him. As she would watch him bleed out. Sometimes- she would be the one to kill him. And that haunted her.

She could live without Ethan in her life- she had to. But she couldn't live without knowing where he was- or if he was even alive.

But he was. And just like she had heard in her dreams- he was watching over her. Making sure she was moving on with her life- the life he had destroyed.

🔪🔪🔪

Emily sat on the couch of her shared apartment with Mindy.

The two girls had grown closer- they were more than friends.

Like They were family.

Emily watched TV until she heard the door unlocking as she turned around to face her girlfriend coming to view.

" I'm home!" Mindy yelled for the girl to hear.

" Hey, babe." Mindy teased as she joined Emily on the couch.

" How was your day?" Emily asked, tracing patterns on Mindy's knee.

" Ughh-" she groaned " do you remember that girl I told you couldn't stop talking in class?"

" Erica?" She raised her brows at her girlfriend, laughing.

" Yeah, whatever her name is. Today, she couldn't stop asking stupid questions. Like get a grip! What are you doing in college, You're stupid!" Mindy laughed as she was upset she had such a girl in her class.

" Poor girl!"

" You know her dad is part of the academy? She didn't even have to pass her exams she immediately got in!"

" why do you care so much?" Emily giggled a hand on her heart.

" I don't know! But it's entertaining. And funny."

" Sure it is babe." Emily answered as she got closer to the girl- pecking her lips quickly before standing up.

" Wanna go to dinner?" She asked randomly, putting her hand out for the girl to grab.

" Yes. Should we call the others?" Mindy took her hand and got up- her hands now on the girl's waist.

"Sure. Feels like we haven't hung out in awhile."

"Well, everyone's been so busy. Chad and Tara , Sam and Danny, cute little teams."

" And you and I"

" And you and I." Mindy confirmed, leaning in to kiss the girl as she pulled her phone out to call her twin.

They were having dinner- laughing together as they used to. They hadn't been out together for awhile since everyone was busy with school- and Sam and Danny with work. But that evening was a good moment. They talked about the past- the future- the newly couple. They were thrilled for Emily and Mindy. Sure it was random- but the girls were finally happy.
And they deserved it.

What they didn't know was; Ethan was standing across the street- watching them. Watching Emily laugh, be happy, was a sight he wanted to see in order to be okay- to move on- to let her go. And after seeing that- he knew it was over for good. He was letting her go.
