Moving On *Completed*

Chapter 64-Coming Back

Emily Pov

I am comforted by the darkness. It has become my secret hiding place over the years. It's quiet and calm. I feel comforted and safe because I know nothing can hurt me while I am here. I feel like I am flying above anything and anyone who can hurt me.

I faintly hear my name being called but I don't want to leave. I know if I answer, I will be pulled back into the world of pain, hurt, rejection and loss and I don't think I could handle that right now. I have had so much of it already. As I turn away from the voice I see a light shining in the distance. I want to turn away and stay safe, but something is making me turn and fly to see were the light is coming from.

"Emily....Can you hear me? Come back to us Beautiful."

As the light shines brighter, I blink to adjust to it.

"There you are Beautiful. Thank you for coming back to us. How are you feeling?" I open my eyes and I was not sure as to who I was seeing.

"Sean?"

"Yes Beautiful." he says as he moves a lock of my hair behind my ear. I blink again look around. I notice I am on one of the couches in the VIP Lounge at The Spot.

"I am going to look at your eyes. Keep them focused on me" he says as he pulls a pen light out of his pocket and shines the light in my eyes. He moves a finger in front of my eyes and I follow it with my eyes."

"How are you feeling?" I look up and see the worry in his green eyes as he feels around my head. His calm demeanor is keeping me calm also.

"My head hurts, I feel overwhelmed and really exhausted, but I am fine."

Sean moves me so he can sit on the couch. I place my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arm around me. I feel his heat ad comfort as is soothes me. In a whisper I ask him:

"What happened Sean?"

"It appears you passed out. I am not sure why. Have you eaten or drank anything since lunch?"

"No. I have been to busy. Where is everyone? I don't remember how I got here."

"What do you remember Miss Sway?"

I turn to see Owen walking into the room followed by the guys. I see Nathan coming in last and he closed the door. He turns and looks at me and it all comes back to me full force. Nathan comes and sits next to me and grabs my hand. I did not know I was shaking until Sean told me to calm down, and I looked down to see Nathan hand shaking. Nathan asked if I was cold and I shook my no head trying to find my voice.

"I remember coming back from the office. I just made arrangements for the guys to head back to the hotel early. I was coming down the hall and ran into Arlo."

"Oy! Where did that fucker say to you?" asked Gabe.

"That he knew the real me and that he was sorry for what he did, but he has a job to do and to trust him. I told him I don't trust him or anyone else who works with Damien. He said he was sorry to do this, but he had no choice. He told me to talk to Alec and he would explain."

"What happened after you left us?" asked Kota.

I looked at Nathan, then back to Kota and told them what happened when I walked into the bar until I passed out. Nathan looked angry. I think he was mad with himself, so I just squeezed his hand.

"Mr. Morgan, check the security feeds and it you need help, call Corey. Mr. Taylor Jr, you and Raven go talk to security to see how he got past them. Mr. Lee and Mr. Griffin, please go talk to the bartender and see if Damien said anything to him or anybody at the bar."

"Can Nathan stay with Sean and I, Owen? I need to talk to them." I asked softly. I did not want to mess up his plans, but I need to let Nathan know it's not his fault. I don't want him beating himself up over this.

"Very well. Mr. Lee and myself will go talk to the bartender and the manager. Mr. Coleman, you and Mr. Taylor Sr. will finish up anything Miss Sway needs to complete. Mr. Korba, please drive Miss Sway, Mr. Griffin and Sean back to her place. We will meet you there when we are done."

We all said our goodbyes. As we walked to the valet, Silas was in the front, Sean was next to me and Nathan was behind me. I felt so safe. As the valet brought my truck around Silas turned to me and asked with his thumb pointing to the truck:

"Is that your truck?"

"Yes. He is my baby."

"Sweet" says Silas as he tips the valet and got into the driver seat.

"You're right on that one Si. North is going to love this." says Nathan as Sean nods his agreement and got in the front seat. Nathan gets in the back seat. He looks out the window.

As Silas pulls off, I turn to Nathan. "I don't want you to be mad or upset with yourself or me. I am not sure why I passed out, but I know I am glad you were there."

"I am not mad at you. Hell, I am proud of you for making Arlo leave you alone. I am just pissed Damien was so close to you. I wish I had known he was that close, we could have taken him out."

Squeezing his hand, I tell him "I am just glad you were there. You will get another chance."

He smiles at me and squeezes my hand back. I place my head on his shoulder and let the ride home lull me to sleep.
