Ch. 23 Reconciliation
A/N: Here we are, the finale! I'm not gonna do too much because I want to cut to the chase. As always, I do not/have not/probably nor will I ever own the rights to Welcome Back, Kotter or any of its characters. I do own Amara. Now for the very last time, Heartbreak For Hire.
After school, Vinnie takes the ferry to Staten Island. He was going to check on Amara. He has no reason to be here but he needs to know how truly broken up she is about them. Vinnie knocks on Amara's front door a couple of times before he gets his answer. What he See's absolutely shatters him. A frizzy haired, puffy eyed, pajama pants clad Amara. She looked back at him in surprise. He's really here! "Vinnie?" Amara gasps. "Hey. Let me in?" Vinnie asked. Amara gives it a few seconds of thought before letting him in. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be somewhere throwing darts at my face?" Amara asks.
"I wanted to see if the girls were right. What happened?" Vinnie asks as if he doesn't already know the answer. "You happened." She shot back. The audacity of Amara. She's not supposed to be the angry one here. "I happened? Don't go there. This is all your fault. You tried to hurt me remember?" Vinnie asked. "How many times do I have to say that it was in the beginning? How many times do I have to tell you that I've liked you since our first date. It stopped being a scheme to me a long time ago." Amara defends herself. "So? You still did it, Amara." Vinnie notes.
"You're right and I'll probably never live it down. I don't regret getting to know you. I don't regret falling in love with you." Amara cries. "You don't think I'm not still in love with you? Course I am. I'm hurt still." Vinnie admits to the surprise of Amara. "And I'm sorry. If I could go back and stop it a little sooner I would but I can't. I'm hurting too. Look in my eyes, Vinnie. I haven't stopped crying since you threw me out. I barely leave the house anymore. Nothing feels right without you." Amara sighs. "Nobody told you to lock yourself up." Vinnie shouted. "I needed to do that, Vinnie. We shared something very special. I wish we were still sharing it." Amara says softly.
"Amara." Vinnie sighs. "I'm being honest." Amara swore. "So what do we do?" Vinnie asks. "Please give us another shot. Just slower. No tricks, no schemes, and definitely no Rosalie. Just you and I. Please, Vinnie. I need you. Say you want me too." Amara begs grabbing his hand. "We could go slow but you gotta earn back my trust. I don't know how long it's gonna take but I don't think I could go another minute without you." Vinnie explained walking towards here. "What does that mean?" Amara wonders feeling optimistic as she looks into Vinnie's forgiving eyes. "Dry your eyes, say sorry, we'll go on a few dates, and then go from there.
And I mean it. If, I even think anything's a little off then we're done. No secrets either." Vinnie warns. "I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for trying to ruin your life, and I'm sorry for causing us all this pain." Amara apologizes. "Good start, Sweetheart." Vinnie compliments. "You called me, Sweetheart." Amara points out. "That's what you are right?" Vinnie asks. "I am." Amara confirms. "Come here." Vinnie gestures with his arms wide open. Amara walks right into his arms and kisses him passionately. "Were back." Amara sighs happy. "Were back." Vinnie agrees. Amara was absolutely relived. Finally, her lover was back and she doesn't plan on letting him go any time soon.
THE END
A/N: It's over. Oh my gosh. So, I've been working on this since October. I wanted something different and longer then Came Back For You and I'm glad I have this. I have loved every second of writing this story and creating Amara who I adore. I want to thank all of you so much for reading I truly mean it. I can't believe it's all over. Also, announcement. So, since I've done a story for Juan, a story for Vinnie, and I do have a Freddie story that is being updated weekly currently. Well, after that I plan on writing an Arnold story. After that's finished, I will no longer be writing in the WBK area of fanfiction. I've had a lot of fun here but it's gotta come to an end and there's only so many characters to write for. Thank you so much again and I'll see you in Deliver Him From Eva.
