Adrian spent the whole cab ride trying to figure out what she was going to say to Ricky if she was able to stop him. She was trying to find the right words to truly express how much she loved him.

Once Adrian reached the airport, she ran to find out which gate Ricky would be at. As luck would have it, no board had his flight details. Finally, after reaching the other end of the airport as she looked for the right board, she found that Ricky would be boarding at gate 7. She quickly glanced at her watch which read 9:15. She could make it just in the nick of time, if she ran. So Adrian ran as fast she possibly could in her high heels and after what felt like running for miles, she finally reached gate 7.

There was huge queue at the gate. Adrian looked everywhere, the seats, the line, just to find Ricky but she couldn't see him. When she'd almost lost hope and decided to leave, she decided to take one last look around and found Ricky standing in the line. He was the fourth person from the front.

"Ricky! Ricky!" Adrian shouted.

Everyone looked back at Adrian, to see what was going on.

"Adrian? What are you doing here?" Ricky asked from the line.

"I'm trying to stop you from leaving." Adrian said.

Ricky quickly pushed himself out of the line.

"What's going on?" Ricky asked Adrian once they were face to face.

"No matter what place I'm in, in my life, I always come back to you. I used to think that it was because it was safer being with you than being vulnerable with someone else. But it was when you walked away from me tonight, when for the first time it felt like you would really be gone, I realized that the reason why I always came back to you wasn't because with you it was easier but because with you, it's worth it. I love you Ricky, I have always loved you." Adrian said, with tears in her eyes. Only Ricky could get her so overwhelmed with emotion.

"I love you too Adrian but we've hurt each other so much already, gone back and forth so many times, how do we go back to the way things used to be?" Ricky said, with a lump in his throat that he tried to gulp down.

"Let's not go back to the way things used to be. Let's go toward something better. We don't need to hurt each other anymore Ricky. We've had enough happen to us, to know what we really want." Adrian said.

"What if it doesn't work out, Adrian? I don't think I'd be able to survive that." Ricky said.

Overhead, he could hear the last boarding call for his flight.

"What if it does work out Ricky? What if we're meant to be together but we just walk away because we're too scared to even try. I don't think I'd be able to live with myself, knowing how much I love you and still not trying. After everything we've been through, I think we owe it to ourselves to get some happiness." Adrian said.

Ricky just smiled and kissed Adrian and it felt like nothing had ever changed. That they were still in high school, still as in love with each other but just that every wound that hurt so much all these years, didn't hurt anymore. They didn't need to break each other; instead they could heal each other.

Ricky and Adrian went back home, to Amy and Ben's apartment.

"Hey! I knew you two would work it out!" Ben said opening the door and letting Ricky and Adrian in.

"You did?" Ricky asked.

"Yeah, I was the one who told Adrian that you loved her." Ben said.

Ricky smiled at Ben, not knowing what to say.

"You're welcome." Ben said winking at the two of them.

"I'm so glad you're back and I'm really happy for the two of you!" Amy said smiling, who was sitting with John.

"Daddy!" John said.

"Hey buddy!" Ricky said, picking john up.

The five of them just sat and around and spent the night talking about old times and how much things had changed. Even though everything had changed, they were somehow still the same. They'd always known that this was how things were suppose to be, Ricky and Adrian, Ben and Amy together with John. They'd grown up together and without even realizing it, had become family. Ricky and Adrian and Ben and Amy decided to move in together, start the life they always knew they should've had together. They'd built their own little family in that building, it wasn't perfect but they wouldn't have it any other way.
