31. Found

*Roberts' POV*

There she is. My precious girl whom I love so much. I can't cry now. I have to stay strong, for her. I sat down in the chair next to her and Sophie went to sit down in the chair at the other side of her bed.

"Emilia." I whispered.

She slowly opened her eyes and yawned. The then turned her head towards me.

"Hi." I whispered again.

"Hello." She said in a weak voice.

"How are you feeling?"

"I think I've been better." She smiled at me and that made me feel warm inside but so incredibly sad as well.

"I'm guessing that we are close aren't we?" She asked. I widened my eyes. How could she possibly know that.

"Yes, yes we are. How did you guess?"

"Your eyes."

I smiled warmly back at her.

"I'm Robert."

"Hi Robert." She giggled. I'm surprised that she's taking this so well. Once again she proves to me how strong she is. "So, what are you to me?" She asked.

"Well, I'm your boyfriend." I whispered.

"Really? You are my boyfriend?" She started laughing but it was weak.

"Why are you so surprised?" I asked childishly.

"Well, because you're hot." We both started laughing and Sophie joined in. She turned her head and looked at Sophie.

"Hi there." Sophie said.

"Hi. You're pretty."

"Not as pretty as you though." Sophie winked at her.

"So, who are you?"

Sophie looked sad all of a sudden but I could see that she was trying to put on a brave face.

"I'm your little sister." She whispered.

"Awesome. I always wanted to have a little sister." She smiled and Sophie giggled.

We were quiet for a moment. Emilia was staring at the ceiling.

"So what happened to me?" She asked breaking the silence.

"I'm not sure if we should be telling you that right now. You've just woken up and the doctor said to take it slow."

She looked me in the eyes.

"You don't have to tell me the details right now. I just want to know what happened to me and why I'm in the hospital with memory loss."

I sighed. "Ok. Long story short. You were kidnapped. I was able to find you and save you but you got shot in your shoulder in the process..." My voice was shaking and I started crying. Damn it! I told myself not to cry in front of her, not now!

"Why are you crying? I'm alright now aren't I?" She said in a soothing voice.

I took a deep breath but I couldn't stop the tears.

"It's just that... I promised you..." I chocked. This is hurting me so much.

"What did you promise me Robert?" I looked up at her when I felt her grabbing my hand. I closed my eyes and started explaining.

"I promised that I wouldn't let anyone hurt you. I promised that I would protect you. You only asked for one thing and that was to feel safe but I couldn't... I couldn't keep you safe. I broke my promise and you got hurt. It's all my fault." I started crying even harder.
