Emma

Chapter Three

(December; Emma age 18)
—Emma's—POV——

My bed felt awfully weird. It was kind of strange. I heard noises outside and the rushing of the wind through the leaves of a tree, or at least that's what is sounds like. There was a bitter taste in my mouth, my throat felt sandy like a desert.

At first I could not remember anything and then it suddenly hit me like a tin of bricks. I remembered what had happened. I remembered what had happened the day before, or is today — wait what day is today? I panicked because I remembered over dosing on the sleeping pills. But how am I alive? I panicked and started to look around frantically, then it struck me, I was in the hospital.

"Good morning, I'm Doctor Edwards and how are you feeling? You're lucky that you reached the hospital in time," I turned to see who interrupted my train if thoughts, it was a doctor, obviously he even stated that. How is that lucky? I wanted to answer his question but I just couldn't get my mouth to open and say the words, I'm feeling fine, I don't know what happened.

"Here I have a glass of water," hr handed me a glass if water, which I took thankfully. It felt cool to my throat.

I finally opened my mouth, "I'm okay, but I can't seem to understand how I survived." The reason I couldn't understand was because I didn't think that my mother or sister would have come into my room until dinner time and by that time I would have been long gone.

"Well as I said before you were lucky, oh and there's someone here to see you," he walked back to some door and told someone, "You can go in."

A tall handsome young man came in. He had dreamy brown-greyish eyes and his hair was very curly. He was wearing a purple hoodie with a white T-shirt on the inside and a pair of black jeans. He hugged me, "I don't know what I would have done if you had died." I felt tingles, like an electric current just passing through my body. I kept thinking who could this be, then it hit me, it was Antonio my best friend.

"How are you feeling?" I didn't reply. He questioned me about why I did what I did but I still didn't answer, I just kept starring at him. I didn't know what to say. I mean I could've just answered him but I feel like sh!t for making him feel that way. At that moment my mother walked in and as she saw me awake her face lit up. She hugged me, like placed her arms around me and embraced me. To say I was stunned would be an understatement. Like why the heçk are you concerned about me when you didn't even care about me before I did what I did?

"I know I haven't been a good mother lately and I'm really sorry and I want you to know that I love you," her words stunned me even more.

I asked her about Nile, she said that Nile was at home. Not that I wanted her here though.

The doctor pulled my mother to the corner and talked to her quietly. I guess he was trying to find out what happened.

Antonio came to the side of the bed "Why aren't you talking to me?" He questioned looking a little saddened.

I sighed, "I am really sorry but I was couldn't take it anymore. The stress was too much and to add to that my sister… those girls… my mother. Uhh, I just wasn't sure how much more I could take."

"Well I care for you deeply and you shouldn't bother with what others say about you," he said.

"But you see, yesterday it just went over the edge, I couldn't bare to live another moment with such persons. And I know that you care for me but I just thought that you would be angry with me for what I said and how I left at lunch," I stated.

"You have no idea how I would have felt if you had really died and no I wasn't angry with you," Antonio said in a caring manner.

The doctor came over to us, "Okay now, it's time for you to leave, she needs some rest," and with that he led Antonio and my mother out of the room. Antonio waved goodbye. The doctor came back in and checked the Sasha SAT monitor and he gave me an injection.

"Your body needs rest, the sleeping pills did some damage to your body so the injection would help to......" I started to see blurry, I could hardly hear hear what the doctor was saying and I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

——Antonio's—POV——

The doctor told us to wait outside. When he gave us the okay to go in, Emma's mother told me to go in first. I walked in and I hugged Emma. As I hugged her I felt tingles passing through me, it's kind of strange feeling that. It made me remember when we first met each other, I felt that same thing when I shook her hand when we met in eight grade. I felt really happy to see her alive and well. I started to ask her questions but she didn't reply to any of them. Her mother came in and hugged her and talked to her, the doctor pulled Jose(Emma's mother) to the corner to talk to her, I guess about Emma's condition.

I went over to the bed side and I began to question Emma again, she started to talk, we talked until the doctor came over and said it was time for us to leave, as he led us out I waved goodbye to Emma.

The doctor went back in the room.

I walked over to my 'parents'. My 'mother' asked if Emma was alright I replied, "Yeah, she seems okay."

The doctor came out back, he said that Emma was asleep and she's going to be okay if she takes the medications he prescribed.

I wanted to stay but I'll just leave her to rest. I told Jose to call if there are any developments in Emma's health or if she gets discharged.

My parents and I went home.

When I got home, I went to my room. I kept on thinking about Emma, it was as if she was on my mind all the time. I knew one thing for sure and that fact that I was falling in love with her.

 I also wondered whether Emma would like a creature like me because people consider us monsters. Most people are fascinated by the mythical creature of vampires but if they knew it we were real would they be scared or still fascinated? I never asked Emma if she liked the idea of vampires because I don't know how she would react but I will ask her some day.

To me, Emma was medium height, of mixed ethnicity, an extremely beautiful girl. Even though she fails to realize all the unlocked potential she has, she's still amazing.

She's kind, loving and caring. Her eyes are so bright and beautiful, if someone looked at her eyes they couldn't tell that she has been through so much, but if you look deeply into her eyes you would see how loving and strong she is, as they say 'the eyes are the windows to the soul'  well her soul is so pure, those lovely brown eyes are so perfect. Her hair is so soft and long, it is brown with some streaks of black. Her lips, oh my her lips are so kissable and pink. Her ears are so cute and suit her so perfectly. And no, I do not have a weird fetish for ears. Her shape is 'oh my gosh' to say, she is so well carved. I have never seen a girl like her, that has beauty from within along with a pretty face, a well shaped body and the most important thing, she's got such a great personality. Plus she has brains, meaning that she is intelligent.

Emma is just everything in one, but I wonder would she ever consider me anything else but her best friend. I wish, oh how I wish she would think of me as more than a friend. Well she's single and I'm single so there would be nothing that could stop us from being together except if she doesn't like me in that way or if she finds out about what I am and doesn't even want have anything to do with me anymore, but I won't let that happen she's too precious to me and I won't force her into anything.
