GIBBS HOME

The next day, in the living room, Yvonne and I are sitting on the three seat sofa.

"Jared Wallace phone contacted you? What for?" Yvonne asked me.

"I don't know. He's always been himself." I said to my best friend, Yvonne. "I would've thought he changed."

"Jared will always be Jared." Yvonne said to me.

"I know." I said to her. "But I think Quinton knows who Malphas is."

"Do you think that Quinton is Malphas?" Yvonne asked me.

"Maybe." I replied to her. "Anyhoo, I have to meet up with Jared at Jen's."

"You need some backup? You know, Robyn and I, and the guys, got your back." Yvonne said to me.

"I know." I said.

Yvonne and I exchange small smiles at each other. I gets up and walks away.

JEN'S DINER

I'm sitting in a booth table, awaiting for  my former best friend, Jared Wallace.

The diner door opens and closes. Jared and I exchange mildly looks at each other.

Jared slowly walks up to me and slides into the booth table across from me.

"Hi, Jared." I greeted him.

"Cut the bull crap, Angie." Jared said to me. "I know you're annoyed with me."

"What do you want?" I asked, gently folding my arms on the booth table.

"You." Jared said with a straight face, gently folding his arms on the booth table. But then, he chuckles. "I'm just kidding. I'm completely over you."

"Sure you are." I sarcastically said to him.

"Says the girl with behavioral management therapy." said Jared.

I scoff and slides out of the booth table and walks away, as Jared slides out of the booth table and grabs my arm.

"Take your hand off my arm, Jared." I tell him, and looks at him. "Right now."

"You act like you're so tough, but deep down within you, Quinton's right. You're scared of becoming your dark alter ego, Dark Angie." Jared tells me.

I look at Jared. "I'm not scared of my darkness, but unlike you and Quinton Kiermont, I know how to control my inner darkness."

Jared and I exchange tense looks at each other. And he gently lets go of my arm and walks away from him.

"Your boyfriend, Aiden, can't turn you on like I can." Jared said, smartly

I stop walking and turns around to Jared and punches him in his face, making him leans on the booth table.

"My relationship with Aiden is none of your business, Jared." I tell him and walks away, walking out of the diner.

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

Later on that day, Ziandra is sitting in a armchair, sideways.

I slowly walks up to her and sits down on the sofa. "I'm sorry, Z."

Ziandra looks at me and small smiles. "Apology likewise."

"Are we okay?" I asked her.

"We're good, Angie S." Ziandra said. "And by the way, I've know that you have a feisty backbone."

Ziandra and I exchange small smiles at each other.

"Are Pedro and You okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah. Pedro and I are good." Ziandra said to me.

"Aww, you two are besties again." Joyce said to Me and Ziandra with a small smile.

Joyce, Ziandra and I exchange small smiles at each other.

JENSON HOME

That afternoon, in the living room, Aiden and I are sitting on the three seat sofa, looking at some comic story tales entitled, "The Somerville Tales".

"What are these comic story tales?" Aiden asked.

"Violet said that you guys may need them." Cherry said to Aiden and Me, sitting in an armchair.

"And you kept them?" I asked her.

"Violetquinn convinced me of course." Cherry said.

I small smile to myself. "Violet has a special effect."

"Yeah, she does." Cherry said with a small smile. And small smiles at Aiden and Me. "Begone you two lovebirds. My Granny Jeana needs my attention."

"Alright, thanks, Cherry." I said, getting up to my feet, with a box with the comic story tales and walks away.

And Aiden walks after me.

"You're welcome, Mini-Violet." Cherry said to me.

Cherry and I exchange exchange glances at each other and small smiles.

MINXES SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

Later on that afternoon, Aiden and I are sitting at the round bar counter with our bottles of Ale.

"So, you're trying ale, aren't you?" I asked him.

"Trying something new." Aiden said. "Ziandra talked me into it."

"And it what lead you to almost intimately hookup with each other." I said with a slight bitterness in my voice tone, taking a swig of my bottle of Ale.

"Guess I deserved that." Aiden said.

"You know, I don't know why I'm still upset about that, but I am." I said to him.

"Because it still hurts." Aiden said. "But I'm really sorry, Ang. I really am. I screwed up. I really did. I haven't really been a good boyfriend, haven't I?"

"You are a good boyfriend, Aidy." I said to him. "But the thing is, a part of me excepted you and Gilmore to hookup with each other."

"Why?" Aiden said, a bit confused.

"Because I romantically lost you to her." I said to him.

"Angie? It's bygones now." Aiden said to me and gently holds my hand on the bar counter. "We're finally together, okay?"

I nodded. "Okay."

Aiden plants a kiss on my cheek. He and I exchange small smiles at each other.

Suddenly, the ceiling lights flickers on and off, causing Aiden and I to exchange bewildered looks at each other.

"What the hell?" Aiden said.

Suddenly, Malphas Cloaked Mask shows up from out of nowhere in the middle of the speakeasy lounge.

The ceiling lights stops flickering.

"I know it's you, Quinton." I said to Malphas.

Aiden looks at me, shocked. "What?"

The Malphas pulls off his mask, revealing Quinton Kiermont.

"I knew you were gonna figure it out, Sweetheart." Quinton said to me. "How did you figure it out?"

"I'm just smart." I said to him, pulls out a revolver handgun from my leather jacket.

Quinton sly smirks, glancing at the revolver handgun. "What are you gonna do with the revolver handgun, Angie?"

"Angie, don't?" Aiden said to me. "Don't do this."

"Yes, Angie. Do. You know you want to." Quinton said to me.

"Yeah, I do." I tell him, and fires a bullet into Quinton's left thigh, causing him to falls on the floor with a grunt.

"Angie?" Aiden said.

I look at my boyfriend with a annoyed expression on my face. "Not to worry, it had one bullet."

Aiden looks at me, shockingly. And I walks away.

*~*~*

SAUNDERS HOME

That evening, in the living room, I'm sitting on the three seat sofa. Using the spare key, Aiden slowly walks inside and closes the door behind him.

Aiden slowly walks inside the living room. "What the hell was that?" He asked.

"I fired a bullet in Quinton's left thigh." I said to him. "But at least, we don't have to worry about Malphas."

"I saw the annoyance on your face." Aiden said to me, and slowly walks up to me and sits down beside me on the sofa. "Angie, you have all this anger bottled up inside of you. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought I could handle it myself." I said to my boyfriend.

"Angie, you're my girlfriend. And you shouldn't keep all of that anger bottled up inside of you." Aiden said.

"I don't know what to do with it." I said to him.

"I have an idea." Aiden said.

*~*~*

SOTHEBY'S LOUNGE CENTER

That same evening, Aiden and I slowly walks inside with the ceiling lights turns on automatically.

"What are we doing here?" I asked him.

"Angie? You have to let go of your anger." Aiden said, putting on a pair of boxer fingerless gloves. "But if you don't, it'll tear you apart on the inside of you."

Aiden gently tosses me a pair of boxer fingerless gloves. I puts them on both hands.

Aiden and I gets inside the fighting cage. He and I exchange small smiles at each other.

"Come at me." Aiden said to me.

"I'm not gonna punch you." I said to him. "But if you insist."

Aiden small smiles at me. I try to punch him in his face. He dodges my left fist. And I swing my right fist at his face, punching him in his face, making him stumble backwards.

I gasps. "Oh gosh, Aidy. Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Aiden reassured me. "You feel a little better?"

"Yeah, I do." I said to him.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other.

*~*~*

SAUNDERS HOME

Later on that night, In my bedroom, Aiden is sitting on my ottoman and I gently pats a gel ice pack on on Aiden's right cheek bruised.

"I'm sorry I punched you." I said to him.

"It's okay. You punch like a girl." Aiden said with a small smile.

I small smile at him.

Aiden gently wraps his arms around my waist and holds me close to him, looking up at me. "Are we okay?"

"Yeah." I said to him. "Why?" I asked him.

"You can talk to me about anything. Even if, you want to vent out at me, I'm always here for you, just like you've been there for me and the guys." Aiden said.

"I know." I said to him.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other and we share a passionate kiss.

"I love you, Aiden." I said to him.

"I love you too, Ang." Aiden said back to me. "I'm not gonna make any promises, but I assure you, Angie Saunders, I will be the amazing boyfriend ever."

"And I will be the amazing girlfriend ever to you." I said to Aiden.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other.

My phone buzzes in my jeans pocket. I pulls my phone out and looks at it.

Mom

I answer my phone. "Mom?"

"Hey, Angie. Quinton wants to talk with you." My Mom said on the phone.

"Alright." I said, and looks at Aiden. "I'll be right back."

"I'll be here." Aiden said.

And I walks away.

ARRINGTON ASYLUM

In the visitation room, I'm sitting at a round table. And Quinton slowly walks up to the round table, wearing his gray scrubs.

"I can't believe that you actually put a bullet in my thigh." Quinton said.

"You're back here at the Arrington Asylum. You're not ever getting out." I said to him.

Quinton shrugs his shoulders, unfazed. "You think you've won, Angie. You and your best friends. I don't have my dark magick anymore."

"Great." I said, sarcastically. And gets up to my feet. "Goodbye, Quinton." And walks away from him.

"I'll see you around, Sweetheart." Quinton said to me.

I look at Quinton and walks away.

*~*~*

SAUNDERS HOME

I slowly walks inside my bedroom and sees a shirtless Aiden wearing a pair of plaid pajama shorts, asleep, in bed, underneath the plush coral bedcover.

I slowly walks up to him and sits down beside on the bed and gently brushes his shaggy brown hair with my hand.

Aiden tiredly wakes up and looks at me. "Hey, you're back."

"Yeah. Told you I'll be back." I said to him.

I gently lays down in front of him and he gently covers me with the bedcover, gently cuddling me from behind.
