Hello! So next chapter may be a little confusing at first because it's going to be like a big flashback (kinda like 2x08), but I felt like it's necessary because you guys have waited too long for some Aimily action. And it's probably gonna be written in two POV. Oh guys I know this is getting a little old but please review, I feel like I'm doing a bad work here.

Emily/Amanda's POV

"We came as fast as we could, what's wrong?" I say as Nolan and I enter the master bedroom of the beach house. Niko called Nolan while we were eating breakfast telling him to get to the beach house asap. I didn't hear her but Nolan says her voice sounded deadly serious.

I don't see her at first but then I notice she's on the floor, in only her underwear, her whole body is covered in bruises. Maybe I went a little too hard on her? No, she doesn't need my compassion, she's got Aiden for that. Aiden, where is him anyway? Then I notice there's something under her shield.

"I don't know what happened, I swear. He was, he just-" She says as she turns around. Her eyes are red and her face is puffy.

That's when I notice him, Aiden, he's under her lying motionless. It feels like somebody just kicked me in the stomach as hard as they could. He's not moving, he's not moving, oh my god! "What the fuck did you do?!" I shout as I take a few steps towards and throw myself beside him.

"I didn't do anything! He just- he fainted out of nowhere!" She tells me as she puts her hands on his body.

"Don't touch him! Get out!" I yell at her as my hands start shaking with disgust and anger.

"It wasn't me! He seemed a little unsteady for a second and then he was on the floor! I didn't do anything!" She defends herself.

"Shut up and get the hell out!" I scream at her louder this time.

"Okay Niko, why don't you go get dressed?" Nolan steps in.

She looks angrily between me and Aiden before standing up, grabbing some piece of cloth from the bed and storming of to the bathroom.

As soon as she slams the door shut, Nolan runs to my side and leans in putting his ear to Aiden's mouth. "He's breathing."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and ask weakly "Can you call the ambulance?"

He nods, takes out his phone and dials.

"Don't do this to me again, Aiden." I say softly as a tear rolls down my face. "Do not do this, you understand me? Not again, not ever." I tell him as tears drop silently from my eyes.

Flashback

I walk up the stairs of the porch and walk into my house. I couldn't wai to get here I needed to find Aide and enjoy such a moment like this with him. My father, David Clarke, is finally free. All that bullshit he was charged on has been cleared. I did it, I cleaned my father's name but I couldn't have done it without help. And trust me I've been waiting all day to come celebrate with my allly, my love. He's done so much for me, I'll never be able to repay him. I love him so much and it's weird because I'm not like that, I'm not someone to show affection, but He breaks through my walls anyways. So yeah I'm so happy and proud and not my usual self right now.

I smile as soon as I spot him, he has his back towards me as he sits on the couch in front of the chimney. "Hey" I say. "Did you hear the news?" I walk towards him and take my jacket off. "It happened, they cleared him."

Weirdly he doesn't answer so I stand beside the couch and take a look at him from there. "Aiden, you okay?" No reply. I take a few more steps to get a better angle, but one I see his face my heart stops. "Aiden?"

His face is pale and his mouth and eyes are open but motionless. He's rigid like a stone. Oh god, oh god.

"Aiden, are you okay?" My voice comes weaker this time. I stand in front of him, lean in and place my han on his cheek. His skin is cold as ice and rough as a rock. I'm not going to believe what my brain is telling me, I can't believe it. "No" I say almost in a whisper. "Aiden wake up." I grab his shirt and start shaking him hoping that this is all a joke and he'll open his eyes. "Aiden, wake up!"

He isn't waking up and I'm running out of breath as if I suddenly forgot how to. I get up from my spot and place my legs beside Aiden's sides so I'm on top of him. I grab the back of his neck otherwise his head falls back, it's numb, life- life- lifeless.

"No, no, no, no, no." I say between sobs. "Aiden wake up!" I shout this time. Nothing changes.

This is it? After everything we've gone through? This is fucking it?! H-He is dead, dead. I feel like someone just sticked their hand through my body and ripped out my heart. This can't be happening, this isn't fair, this isn't fair! "No, no, no!" I start crying. I cry harder than I've ever cried. "NOO!" I cry out. "NOOO!" I shout with all my heart. Actually I don't longer have one, Victoria just took it away from me. I know it was her, I'm not even going to doubt it. I don't care if I loose my voice like this, I don't care about anything anymore. The person I cared about the most was killed and is lying under me lifeless. There's just no point at stopping so I keep screaming and crying and shouting the same word over and over again. He's gone, my Aiden is gone.

"So basically he just fainted or passed out which is the loss of consciousness and muscle strength, characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery. It is due to a decrease in blood flow to the entire brain usually from low blood pressure. There are a variety of causes, such us fear, emotional trauma, severe pain, a sudden drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar due to diabetes or from going too long without eating, dehydration, diseases, heart problems, etc. Some causes have early symptoms before the loss of consciousness occurs. These symptoms may include light headedness, sweating, pale skin, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, among others." Dr. Hunt explains us. We're lucky we got him again. "But as I told you guys before, he went through surgery twice a couple of months ago so that, adding some stress or something like that, may be the cause of this scenario. We run some tests and we did not find anything wrong with his blood pressure or his blood sugar or anything."

"But he's not waking up, there must be something wrong!" Niko replies at him angrily.

"Some patients take longer than others Ms. Takeda. We did everything we can at a stage like this." He defends himself.

"Niko, why don't you go get lost and let us speak with Dr. Hunt in peace?" Nolan snaps at her.

"Oh why don't you go, pony boy?" She snaps back.

And like that they start their own little fight. I motion Dr. Hunt to follow me and leave those two alone for a second.

"Sorry about that. So Aiden can go home as soon as he wakes up?" I ask.

"Well I'll have to do a little check out but then he's free to go." He smiles sympathetically at me.

"Okay, thank you for everything Dr. Hunt." I say.

He nods his head, smiles at me one more time and leaves through the halls of this god damn hospital.

I'm more than sick of coming here, it always means bad news. We got here like 4 hours ago and Aiden still hasn't woken up. But everything's okay with him so maybe he's just sleeping, or dreaming, or whatever he's doing.

"Niko's a bitch." Nolan says as he comes from behind me.

"Took you a while to figure it out." I joke as I turn around.

"He's been out for hours and I'm getting sick of having to stand that repulsive woman!" He complains and puts an arm around my shoulders. He starts walking and practically dragging me with him towards Aiden's hall. "You did lEave pretty bad marks on her body, so I'm happy about that."

"Have you seen my face? She gave me some pretty bad bruises too." I point out.

"Yeah but you look beautiful, she on the other hand looks like...stoned Lindsay Lohan tbh." He says in that mean girls tone of his.

I laugh at how Nolan that comment was. "Why thank you for the compliment, but I think anyone cna look better than stoned Lindsay Lohan."

He laughs as we make our way to Aiden's room. But when he opens the door there's no one inside. Where's Aiden?

My phone vibrates and I find a text message from Niko.

'I tried to stop him but he ignored me and got in a cab.' It says.

'Did he tell you were he's going?' I text back.

'He said he was going to the beach house to get his stuff out, that's all.' She answers.

'Wait for us in the parking lots, Nolan will drive us.' I put my phone and keep going.

"He's heading to the beach house" I tell Nolan as I start walking away.

"Wait," Nolan follows me. "Who?"

"Aiden!" I answer.

"What? He's up and awake?"

"Yeah and he left" I reply.

"Why would he leave without telling us?"

I think about it for a second. "I have no idea."

We finally get to the beach house after the longest drive I've ever taken. Nolan drove as fast as he could actually, but I'm just too nervous. I don't get why he would just walk out alone and then tell Niko that he's leaving the beach house. I get off the car, Niko and Nolan following right at my toes, and make my way to the house.

I open the door and hear noise coming from upstairs. We all go up the stairs and into the master bedroom. There he is, with a pile of clothes between his hands and a big bag on top of the bed.

"Aiden, what are you doing?" Niko speaks as she takes a step towards him.

He ignores her and keep fiddling through his clothes and shoes. He looks angry, but with who? What's going on with him?

"You can't just disappear like that after passing out for like 5 hours." I try to grab his attention. "We care about your health Aiden." This is the first time I've talked to him in like a month.

"Colleen's right man, you had us worried sick." Nolan adds.

That makes him stop and let go of whatever he was packing. "Colleen?" He says and then laughs sarcastically.

"What?" Nolan replies.

"You said Colleen," He turns to look at him. "you said Colleen you coward!"

"Yeah because Colleen sai-"

"There's no fucking Colleen and I know it!" He shouts. "I remember, I remember everything!"

"What? How?" Nolan thinks out loud.

"I don't know how but I remembered during those five hours. How could you guys lie to me like that? You two-" He points at Niko and Nolan. "I can imagine, but you..." He looks at me for the first time.

His deep ocean blue eyes are now darker than ever and I could see the anger in them from miles away. Oh god. Why is this happening?

"How could you?! I've all the things I've been through about Colleen?!" He takes at step forward furiously. "How could you Emily? Or is it Amanda? Or whatever you wanna be called now!"

"Aiden I was just, I wanted-" I try to defend myself.

"No!" He cuts me off. "You shouldn't have lied to me and that's all!"

"I did it for you! I didn't wanna be that person for you! Because I was selfish and careless and I got this chance to be different, for you!"

"No, you don't get to act like the victim here." He snaps at me. "You did it for yourself, because you're self-centered and you wanted to feel good about yourself. You've never cared of anyone but yourself!"

"That's enough, Aiden." Nolan steps in.

"It's enough?" He changes his gaze towards him. "You can tell when it's enough now, but couldn't tell when it was enough of lies before?"

"Aiden I'm sorry." Nolan says.

"What? You think that's going to fix it? You think that's goin' to make me feel less stupid? Because you guys treated me like I'm stupid! You took advantage of my condition and made a fool of me."

"Leave them out of this, it was my idea! This is on me." I admit.

He takes a few deep breaths before answering "I trusted you with my life Amanda, but you betrayed me. So yeah, this one's in fact on you."

I want to say something but I don't know what. He's right, he's so right, I betrayed him. I stare at him and he stares back at me for a few seconds before shaking his head and turning back to his bag. He zips it and hangs it over his shoulder.

"Where are you going to stay?" Niko breaks the silence.

He turns around and replies "As far away as I can."

With that said, he pushes past me and leaves the room. I stay there, in my spot, I don't move. I don't speak, I can't say anything, I don't want to. I ruined it all and now I'm paying back. Oh God, why are you doing this to me? The one person that matters most to me hates me now. But he's right about everything, I did lie to him, I lied to the one person who has dedicated his life to me. I'm still selfish, I'm still a bad person. As hard as I try I will never be better, maybe I'm just meant to be another mistake in this world. I guess the truth always comes out in the end, right? He hates me and it's my fault, as always, it's my fault.

I hope you likes this chapter and I also hope you don't get confused by the next one, which you will love trust me. Please reeevviieewwww :)
