Lyla was too focused on the task at hand, she didn't hear the door creak open. When the gunshot rang out, and she collapsed on top of Andi everything sped up. Air rushed into Andi's lungs, she coughed, trying to breathe in, people were screaming and running towards the room. She was still gasping for air, when she felt the weight of Lyla's body lifted from her.

She felt strong hands pulling her up, she was staring into Opie's worried eyes. "ANDI?" She was still coughing, she heard Opie call out for Chibs to help him. She was finally able to get a few words out.

"I'm fine...I'm good!" Opie pulled her to his chest, she continued to force air into her lungs. She peeked out to see Lyla's lifeless form on the floor, she saw Happy standing over her with his gun in his hand. She pulled back, looking at Opie, he leaned in to kiss her.

"I'm sorry, I never thought she'd come after you."

"It isn't your fault..." He pulled her into his arms again, kissing the top of her head.

"Let's get you home." He stood up from the bed, shielding her vision, he carried her out to the truck. The truck was silent on the short drive home, she noticed the death grip he had on the steering wheel. Once inside the house, the silence continued, she couldn't stand it a second longer.

"Opie, it isn't your fault!" His back was to her, he spun around, glaring at her.

"Then who's fault was it? She almost killed you tonight! I should have been there to protect you!"

"You had no way of knowing, she was going to sneak into the club."

"I knew she was working with Hyde, she lied about being pregnant to come between us. I know that Hyde shot her to get to Ellie! I know that I should have taken care of her after I found out the truth."

She closed her eyes. "I'm fine! Please, let's just go to bed."

"I think it would be better if I stayed at my place for a while." Andi felt like she'd been punched in the stomach, she felt the tears.

"Please Opie, don't do this!"

"It's better this way!" She watched him walk out the door, shock and pain hitting her all at once. Maybe it had all hit him at once, the realization, that it was all her fault. She collapsed in the floor, crying trying to make sense of it all. She laid in the livingroom floor for hours, a sobbing mess, she finally sat up, wipping the tears away.

It was time to cut her losses and move on, she would put her two weeks in at the station and leave Charming.

Opie knew him leaving her was for the best, she would be safer this way. The next time someone tried to kill her because of him or the club, she might not be so lucky. He couldn't take loosing someone else he loved to death. He rather loose her from his life, then have her loose her life. He pulled into his drive, walking into his house, surprised to see his dad still awake.

"I thought you'd be staying with Andi tonight."

"I broke it off with her tonight."

"Why the hell did you do that for?"

"Too much damn drama!"

"After all the hell she's been through, you dump her?"

"Yeah! It's none of your concern pop!"

"The hell it ain't! She saved your daughter's life!"

Opie stormed out of the room towards his room, slamming the door shut. She would be better off without him, most importantly she would be safe.

Two Weeks Later

"The time is now 9:45, I have an announcement to make. Many of you know that I've had a rough time the last few months. With the ending playing out over the airwaves. While I have some really great and found memories here in Charming, I have some horrible ones as well. With that being said, tomorrow will be my last day here at Z98. I'm leaving Charming."

"We all will miss you AJ. What are you're plans?"

"You know, I really don't have any, I just need to get away from the bad memories."

"Well folks, tune in tomorrow for AJ's last show. Yancy will be stepping in for your lunch break. We'll leave you today with two in a row by Sting."

Andi and Jenny hugged each other, walking out of the studio. "He's miserable without you."

"He broke it off with me Jen. I'm still in love with him, I can't stay knowing I might run into him."

Andi left the station, going home to do some more packing.

The garage was in total silence after Andi's announcement, all eyes were on Opie. He had straightened up from the bike he had been working on, he glared at Jax.

"Did you know about this?"

Jax nodded his head. "What did you expect, she had no reason to stay. You left her two weeks ago and didn't bother to call her."

"You could have told me!" Opie never thought she'd leave, he started pacing the garage. If she left, then he couldn't keep an eye on her, make sure she was safe. He was slowly losing all control, the woman that he loved was leaving and there was nothing that he could do about it.

"If you still love her, then go tell her. Fight for her! Tell her that you're an idiot!" Jax had shoved him against a wall.

"It's too late for that, didn't you hear, she's leaving."

"Then give her a fucking reason to stay!" Jax stormed out of the garage.

Opie walked over to Bobby. "I need your help!"

Andi was holding it together pretty well for it being her last show here in Charming. She looked up to see Bobby walking into the studio, dressed as Elvis, neither Courtney nor Jenny seemed surprised. "You just never know what's going to happen on the AJ and Jenny show. In honor of AJ's last show, we brought in an Elvis impersonator to serenade our girl on her last day. Hit it Elvis!"

Bobby started to strum his guitar, Andi fully expected him to play a fast up beat tune, when he started to play and sing Love Me Tender, she was thoroughly surprised.

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

He continued to play the song, humming along with the music, and swaying. Still in shock, Andi smiled. "Thank you Elvis, that was beautiful." Andi looked up as the studio door opened and Opie walked in, Elvis was still humming along with his guitar. Opie knelled in front of Andi, grabbing the microphone.

"I'm sorry for leaving you two weeks ago, I thought I was protecting you. I love you Andi. You've made my life complete, I never thought I could love like that again. You have my heart, I think you had it from the moment you told me off at that bar. I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Please tell me it's not too late, that I didn't screw things up and loose you. Will you marry me?"

He pulled out a box from his cut pocket, opening it for her to see the ring. Andi just stared at it, then up at him. There was several seconds of dead air, before Jenny jumped in. "While AJ is thinking, let's get back to the music. Eternal Flame by The Bangles."

Andi couldn't think, she couldn't breathe, Elvis had left the studio. it was just Jenny, AJ and Opie. He was still on one knee in front of her, looking at her waiting for an answer. "Oh my God!"

"Come on beautiful, do you have an answer for me?" He looked at her hopefully, his eyes pleading with jer to forgive him. She could see that he loved her, she knew it in her heart.

The song was nearing an end, she closed her eyes, feeling the tears streaming down her face. They were back on the air, she grabbed the microphone. "Yes!" Opie slipped the ring on her finger, she pulled the headphones off her ears, he stood up, pulling her up with him.

"I love you!"

'I love you too!"
