Hi, Kat,
Good question. ****SPOILER ALERT**** Now that Malik and Amber are separated from Eli and Tori, the biggest fear in each of their minds is being completely separated, e.g., all alone to cope with the outside world on his or her own. It’s a terrifying thought, so being together, although stressful, isn’t any where near as bad as being without each other. They cope because it’s the only thing they can do. —-GK—-
