The Blake Project: Book 2

Chapter 26

Emma's POV

I groaned out in pain as I felt my head pound. I slowly opened my eyes and instantly regretted it due to the blinding bright lights.

"Holy shit" I mumbled closing my eyes once again.

"Emma?!" I heard Megan scream

"What the fuck? Why are you yelling?" I whined

Why does everything hurt so bad?

"Can you open your eyes?" Meg asked in a worried tone

"Yeah, the light is just too bright" I croaked

I heard the scurrying of footsteps and then the click of the light switch being shut off.

"Ok it's dark" Megan said as I slowly reopened my eyes

I let out a big breath of air as my eyes finally got used to the lighting.

"I have to call the nurse" she exclaimed slamming her hand down on the red button behind my bed.

"Where's everyone? And why am I so sore?" I asked Megan who was about to answer but was cut off by my door being swung opened.

"Is she awake?!" My dad asked rushing into the room with my mom not to far behind.

I gave them a small smile as they attacked me with hugs and kisses. I wasn't going to wince in pain or tell the to stop because they most likely needed this, I can suck it up.

"I was so worried" My dad said kissing my forehead

"What exactly happened again? I remember chasing Angie but then it's all blank" I said as my mom stroked my hair

"She hit you on the head, pretty hard if I might say. Don't worry she's in jail now" my mom said

"Jail?" I asked in shock

Holy shit, how much did I miss?

"Here drink water, you need to keep hydrated" my dad said handing me a small plastic cup filled with water.

I didn't realize how thirsty I really was but that tiny sip was the most refreshing thing.

"Thanks" I mumbled drinking the rest of the water.

"I'll go call the others" Meg said leaving the room with her phone in hand.

"Where are they?" I asked my parents who just laughed

"Honey they to sleep too, don't worry everyone is perfectly fine all the trials are done with and the police decided to leave you out of it." My dad said

Something is not right. Where's Blake? I know him and he wouldn't have left me like this.

"Is Blake ok?" I asked them

"He's been better" my mom said giving me a small smile

"What happened?" I worriedly asked

"He's not in jail" my mom started out making me feel a little relief

"But he's on probation, his officer called us a week ago telling us that Blake wasn't allowed to see you because it wouldn't be good for him to see you so helpless. We tried to reason with the officer, Mrs. Stevens even went to the station to try and compromise but he still wouldn't let him" she explained to me

My heart broke for him, I can't imagine what he's been feeling. He probably thought that he was going to lose me too.

"But, you know Blake, he isn't one to follow rules" my dad hinted as his cell phone started going off.
