Hey, sorry it took so long to put up I've just been so bogged down with life's difficulties and exams. I even wrote half and then forgot about it so that just shows it.

This is going to be the final chapter with a resolution. R+R!

BANG!

Everything was suddenly moving is slow motion for Lindsay and Kelly. As the now limp body of Kevin Furlong fell backwards off the bridge wall, Kelly felt the tug on her arm before starting to fall with it. She only vaguely remembered screaming and hearing Lindsay call her name. She saw her cousin run to the side as she looked up, arms flailing, desperately trying to grab onto something that wasn't there. She looked down just in time to hit the water, crashing deep underneath and being pulled to the bottom by the dead weight attached to her left arm.

Lindsay stared down stunned, tears streaming down her face, as she saw Kelly's head disappear under the water. She barely heard Danny calling her name as he put his arm round her shoulders and pulled her into a hug. There were no other sounds that she could hear. Just the soothing words coming from the man standing next to her.

When she eventually looked up, the sound came back. Flack was barking orders to everyone asking for divers, the coastguard, anyone who was available. But Lindsay had a sinking feeling in her stomach that it was all in vain.

Right K, how long can you hold your breath thought Kelly as she eventually reached the bottom of the river. She tried as hard as she could to push herself to the surface, but she was going nowhere. There was just enough light from the sun that she could just about see around her. Got to get this body off me. She looked around desperately for something sharp when a glint of something metallic caught her eye. Seriously, what are the chances of finding a knife down here. She had enough strength to push herself along the floor bottom, grab the knife, and starting cutting at TCCM's arm. By now her lungs were burning with her need to breathe. The surrounding water turned round as she finally felt the release of Kevin Furlong's body from her arm. Using her feet, she pushed up from the bottom to the surface, taking a desperately nedded gulp of air.

Lindsay didn't recall how she got to sitting down in the back of the Avalanche but didn't remember the hand that had never stopped rubbing her back and the man it was attached to. She didn't understand why she and Danny hadn't started anything when they got back to New York, but she knew she should change it. She was broken out of her reverie though when she heard a voice shout something that brought music to her ears.

"Hey I can see someone! It's the girl and she's alive!" shouted one of the uniforms. A huge smile broke out on Lindsay's face as everyon jumped into the cars to get down to the riverside. Kelly's alive and I can finally be with Danny, life is good she thought to herself.

Just keep swimming Kelly, you're almost there! Kelly was grateful when she started felling the riverbed and she could start walking. She crawled half way up the bank before collapsing in a heap, choking on the water she had swallowed. She heard a screech of tyres and looked up to see Lindsay running towards her, followed by EMTs and several other cops,

Lindsay fell down beside her and took Kelly into her arms. They both started crying, though Kelly's had double meaning. She had been found, but then the reality reminded her that her parents were dead. She was picked up, put on a stretcher and drove off in an ambulance, her throat too saw too speak to anyone. She thought Lindsay stayed by the river, but unconsciousness succumbed her.

Lindsay was in shock but quickly regained all her senses. They had found Kelly she was safe. She was an orphan but she was safe. A few years before, Lindsay's aunt and uncle had asked her if she would look after Kelly should anything happen to them and she had agreed, she wasn't going back on that promise. Wow, living with a teenage. That could be interesting she thought and couldn't help the smile that creeped onto her face as she turned to face the river.

"Long day, huh?" asked Danny who had magically appeared beside her. Lindsay just turned and smiled at him, receiving one in return. Well, here goes nothing.

"Yeah, it has," she said nervously biting her bottom lip. "But it's also made me think about a lot of things." She was fully facing him now and had to stifle a giggle at the perplexed look on his face. Gathering up the courage, she grabbed his jacket lapels and kissed him.

Fireworks were exploding, bells were ringing, any cliché Lindsay could think of was happening. Although initially stunned, Danny relaxed into the kiss and closed his arms around her waist. They could vaguely hear cheers in the background and broke apart to see the team clapping with wide grins on their faces. Lindsay hid her red cheeks into Danny's chest and happiness descended on New York City.
