It Started With Hello

Chap. 139

"Hello may I have Blake Black's roomed number?" Emma said leaning against the front desk as the nurse. She shouldn't even be out of bed countless doctors have told her that. But she needed to see Blake and now that her family had to go to work she took her opportunity to come try to check up on Blake. She just wanted to see him for herself even though when Chris and Kandy stopped by just yesterday to check on them Chris let her know Blake was ok. The woman gives her a sad smile "I'm sorry miss I can't just give out that information" Emma sighs feeling a slight pain on her side pressing a hand against it. She understood why they wouldn't just give Blake's information out but she still wished the nurse could just tell her "Emma is that you?" turning her head she saw Ms. Black walking towards her. For a second she forgot Blake's mother was a doctor here "Yes Ma'am" she gave her a small smile as she finally reached her. She sat a hand on Emma's shoulder "How are you feeling honey?" she glanced down at Emma's hand on her side. Making Emma instantly remove it she didn't want Ms. Black feeling bad for her the other doctors probably already told her that Emma wasn't supposed to leave her room. Looking at Ms. Black made her feel awful it was her fault Blake was here "I'm fine thank you for asking I wanted to see Blake today buuut I'm not allowed to know his room number" she looked out the corner of her eye at the nurse watching them. It's not like she was trying to be a brat about it but I was annoyed Ms. Black looks the nurse way "She's my son's girlfriend I'll take her to go see him afterwards I'll take her back to her room" the nurse looks like she wants to oppose but nods her head. Taking Emma's hand she leads her down the long halls towards Blake's room. Honestly Emma was suprised Ms. Black wasn't more angry at her chewing her head off and telling her to never meet Blake's again. She was waiting for the explosion but it hadn't came yet it was like walking on eggshells. They step up to one of the many doors and she turns to Emma seeing she was breathing slightly hard "Blake has been asking to see you but his nurses are making him stay in his room and rest....like you should be doing. You were stabbed and almost bleed out after you see him please go back to your room and relax" Emma nods her head she was aware she should be taking it easy today she just wanted to make sure Blake was ok. She smiles softly before opening the door "I'll be back in a few minutes to take you back to your room" Emma walks into the room hearing it softly close behind her. The first thing she see's is Blake lying back on his hospital bed still sleeping. The heart monitor was attached to him softly beeping as she walked closer with shaky legs "B...Blake" she whispered looking down at his face. She lets out a sigh of relief watching him breathe in and out see looked alright smiling she brushed a few stray hairs off his forehead. She wipes a tear away "I'm sorry I brought this onto you...I'm probably the worst girlfr...well ex girlfriend you've ever had" slowly she lowering herself in the small chair beside the bed. She holds onto his hand rubbing her thumb over the smooth skin groan leaves his mouth eyes slowly flickering open. They drift from right to left before landing on her "Em...Hey" a smile covers his lips she jumps up from the chair still holding his hand "Oh Blake I'm so sorry go ahead yell at me" she crys tears rolling down her face while he looks at her concerned. He lets go of her hand a moment to try to push himself up "What are you doing don't get up you'll hurt yourself" he doesn't listen and pushing himself up to lean back against the headboard. She picks up one of his pillows sliding it behind his back before slowly sitting back into the chair looking down unable to meet his eyes. Her hands shake on top of her lap "Emma this isn't your fault I would have been hurt a thousand times worse if I was never able to see your smiling face again. I would do it all over again if your life is in danger Emma I'm so happy your ok. Whether you know it or not you actually ended up saved my life in more ways then one" he reaches out taking her hand linking there fingers together. She looked up at him confused he lets out a soft laugh "The doctor's told me and my parents if it wasn't for the thick leather from the jacket you got me the bullet would have hit a vital artery" she covered her mouth in shock it sounded like something out of a story. The both could have died there that night but some how they where given another chance at life "So stop blaming yourself your the most important thing to me I love you" removing his hand from her's he cleaned her tears away. She smiles as he grabs her hand pulling slightly "Now get up here" standing up she climbs onto the bed laying beside him. She wraps her arms around him laying her head against his chest hearing the soft beat. He's fingers stroke through her hair it was so soothing for her to be back in his arms. But the constant near death experiences have really put her life into perspective for the past few days. Maybe Blake was right maybe should get out this small town and see what's out there for herself life was much to short. She looks at him when she looked at him she saw her whole world her whole future it will be hard to let him go. Pressing her eyes tight she whispered the words that she dreaded to say "Blake, I think you where right I should go to UCLA" his fingers paused in her hair she could practically feel his heart racing underneath her head. The room was silent a few minutes before he finally speaks "If you come back I'll be waiting here for you. Go experience everything there is without worrying about me I'll be fine." she knew he wouldn't be fine that he would probably miss her terribly. That this was all part of his tough guy act but for her It would all probably feel more real the day she actually left without looking back. Leaning up she kisses him softly on the lips before pulling away holding him tighter "I'll miss you to" he sighs softly and continues to run fingers fingers through her hair. This would be the last moment they would be like this now that both of them understood where the relationship was and neither of them was overly happy about it.
