SAUNDERS HOME

In the sunny living room, I'm sitting on the three seat sofa, drinking a bottle of cider, wearing a pair of pajamas.

The door opens and closes. Aiden slowly walks into the living room, turning on the light switch.

"Angie?" Aiden said, slowly walking up to me and sits down beside me on the three seat sofa. "Why are you sitting in the dark?"

"I think I've been in the darkness for a while now." I said to Aiden. "Like a fly to a spider's web. The fly tries to make escape, but it ends up becoming the spider's prey."

"Angie, I know you're angry with Quinton Kiermont and worried about your Dad. But you shouldn't shoulder it by yourself." Aiden said.

"Sometimes, I don't know who I am anymore. Sometimes, I think I'm a monster." I said to Aiden, gloomily.

"You're not a monster, Angie." Aiden said to me. "You're Angie Saunders and sometimes you think you can do things by yourself and try to be the hero, but you don't have to."

Aiden and I exchange soften looks at each other and gently leans our foreheads on each other's.

"I love you." Aiden tells him.

"I love you too." I tell him back.

ARRINGTON GENERAL HOSPITAL

I'm with my Dad in his room, sitting in a sofa chair, sitting at his bedside. He's recovered, but he's gonna be okay, which I'm relieved.

"Tasha Benton has discharged you, but you need to go home." I said, after bringing my Dad some clothes. "Are you gonna be okay, Dad?"

"I'm gonna be fine, Ang." My Dad reassured me, sitting on the side of the bed. "I'm still a bit sore from my wound, but I'll be fine. Besides, I'll be at home."

"Okay." I said to him.

"You're not gonna get back at Quinton Kiermont, aren't you?" My Dad asked me, worriedly.

I glance at him, not saying anything, which makes my Dad worry even more.

"Maureen?" My Dad said.

"Not really no." I said.

"Why don't I quite believe you?" My Dad asked me.

"Dad, just worry about yourself, okay?" I said to him with a small smile.

And my Mom just walked inside.

"By the way, Mom's here to take you home." I said to him with a small smile. "I'll see you two around." I added, plants a kiss on my Dad's cheek. "Love you both."

"Love you too, Angie." My Mom said.

And I walks away.

JEN'S DINER

That afternoon, I'm sitting in a booth table with my plate of scrambled eggs and a hash-brown, eating both with a fork.

I pull my phone out and decides to dial Cherry's phone number.

"Hi, Angie. To what I asks of this phone conversation?" Cherry asked me on the phone.

"Hi, Cherry. Is Violet around? I could really use some of her advice." I asked.

"Unfortunately, Violet's unavailable as of right now." Cherry said to me.

I become worried. "Is she okay?"

"I'll say that's she's gonna be fine, but I'll tell her that you said "Hi", I have to go, toodles, Angiekins." Cherry said.

"You too, Cherry." I said.

And Cherry hangs up her phone. And I sets my phone back down on the booth table.

Cassidy slides into the booth table across from me. "Hey, Angie. How's your Dad? Is he okay?"

"Yeah. He's gonna be fine. He's at home now." I reassured her with a small smile. "Where's Jen?"

"She's around here in the diner somewhere." said Cassidy. "But I can tell that's she's worried about you and guys. So am I as well.

"I know. But at least, you and your Mom are working together here at her diner." I said.

"Yeah." Cassidy said.

Cassidy and I exchange small smiles at each other.

JENNINGS HOME

In the living room that evening, Zach, Yvonne, Robyn and I are sitting on the three seat sofa with our bottles of ciders.

"Quinton needs to be handled." Zach said. "Dave and Meredith Williams or Sam Saunders can't be put him back at the Arrington Asylum Facility or the Silverwood Psychiatric Ward, he'll just have his wife, Amy Tooney, to get him out."

"Quinton and Amy are married and are each other's accomplices in each other's menacing schemes." said Robyn.

"Quinton and Amy have their own menacing schemes." Yvonne said.

"Quinton's a sociopath, and Amy's a psychopath. Their minds are both psychotic twisted. And they both have resources." I said.

"And plus, Quinton and Amy has Bunny Masked henchmen." Zach said.

Zach, Yvonne, Robyn and I exchange worried looks at each other.

SAUNDERS HOME

That night, I walks inside, gently closing the door behind me.

"Dad?" I said, slowly walks into the living room. "Dad?"

"I'm right here, sweetie." My Dad said, slowly walking down the stairs.

I walks up to him and gently wraps an arm around his waist. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." My Dad said, slowly walking over to the three seat sofa and I gently sits him down. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." I said. "Do you need anything? Snacks? Diner food or drinks?"

"I'm fine, Angie. I really am." My Dad said. "The thing is, are you okay? I know you and your best friends aren't doing so good with Quinton and Amy."

"You know?" I said, sitting down beside him on the three seat sofa.

"I'm your Dad, Angie. Your Mom and I talk. And so does Sharron." My Dad said. "But how are Aiden and You? Are you two still good?"

"Yeah. We're good." I said. "And even though, I dated Rowan. I loved him. But a part of me always known that Aiden and I were meant to be together from the get-go. But anyhoo, Aiden and I are together now, and I have absolutely no idea how to defeat Quinton or Amy."

My Dad and I exchange looks at each other. A gentle knock is on the door.

I gets up and slowly walks up to the door, and opens it. Aiden is there.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey, Angie." Aiden said, and slowly walks into the living room, and sees my Dad. "Hi, Daren."

"Hi, Aiden." My Dad said back, and smiles a little. "I'll be asleep upstairs."

My Dad slowly gets up and slowly walks away, walking upstairs.

Aiden and I exchange worried looks at each other.

"I'm glad you're Dad's gonna be okay." Aiden said to me, and slowly walks up to me.

"Yeah. Me too." I replied back with a small smile.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles and he kisses me. I kiss him back. He and I gently pulls away from the kiss.

"What was that for?" I asked him.

"Seems as though, we both needed it." Aiden said.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other.
