Don't push me off the edge.

Twenty six

**** Emma's P.O.V****

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Derek. A smile grew on my face, including his.

" Finally." He hugged me as I continued to lay down, sitting up a little bit in the bed making it more of a hug. I hugged him back.

" Don't scare me like that." He said as he pulled away from me. I felt my arm fall onto my lap.

" Wasn't trying to." I saw all the blood soaked in the sheets. Was that from me? I guess I bleed enough to where I passed out, so I can imagine.

" God, I'm so glad you're okay. I thought you were dead when you passed out in front of me." He smiled and held my hand, my right hand on top of his left and his right hand on top of mine. I made a faint smile.

" You should nap, just to make sure you're refreshed in the morning. Cause, I-I" He blushed and made a big gulp of nothing. " I want us to leave the town together. So you won't have to deal with them, again." He squeezed my hand. " I never want this to happen again, never. Ever again." 

I nodded. I slipped my hand away and put the covers on top of me. Going to my side about to fall asleep, my eyes still open. I could feel Derek get off the bed and start walking, walking towards me.

He bent down beside me, his face got closer to mine, and his lips pressed on my cheek. And he got closer to my ear, my heart started beating uncontrollably. But why? I didn't understand.

" I'm gonna protect you, that's a promise okay?" He whispered in my ear. I blushed.

" I would rather you not, but okay." I smiled.

He kissed my forehead as he pulled away, I shoved my face more in the pillow trying to cover my blush.

As he turned around and started walking I grabbed his shirt, just barely. " Stay," I said, he turned around and looked at me with a smile. I shoved my face more in the pillow with my eyes closed, trying to go to sleep.

"K" he lied down next to me. My body turned away from him. I flipped over to see him,

" Are we going to leave in the morning?" I asked.

He nodded, closing his eyes trying to fall asleep. But I wanted to keep talking.

" Are you sure you want to leave?" I asked. He took a few seconds to answer that. He opened his eyes and put the covers over both of us. He got a little closer to me.

" Course," He said.

" Do you?" He asked me.

" Yes and no, I want to stay here cause it's where I grew up, But we really have to get away from Smoke."

" I get that," He smiled, and that immediately turned into a frown. " I saw a cut on you're belly, When I put you on the bed and took care of you're arm I noticed it. And I will admit I lifted you're shirt up a little bit so I could make sure I wasn't wrong." By how much exactly?

" Oh yeah, um, when I was there soon after I got there I was examined, they didn't take anything out they just looked I guess."

He clenched his fists, getting angry. " What's wrong? It wasn't you-"

" It was my fault. If I had gotten there sooner I probably could've prevented that from happening." 

 " Wasn't you're fault at all, don't blame yourself. But if you didn't come there when you did I would've gotten caught. You helped me, you saved me." I reassured him.

" Sure," I started to feel sleepy, but managed to say something before I drifted off. 

" I wanna see the cliff one more time, if that's okay." I said.

" I'll even bring a camera and get some pictures printed for you." He turned over about to sleep. I nodded even though he wouldn't know that. I slept really well that night, and I woke up early in the morning with Derek already up and out of bed.

Authors note: So I seriously am coming back to this and trying to change a few things. Like I changed the dragons name. And I FORGOT what I was going to do for Derek's past and honestly I have made it sound more shitty then good right now. Sooo He has a shitty relationship with his mom. I HAVE TO WRITE THIS SHIT DOWN NEXT TIME IM SO SORRY I FORGOT WTF I WAS DOING
