Save Me [editing]

Chapter 14

Early the next day, Emily woke up to the sound of water. She glanced over to Anna's bed and notice it was empty.  She also notice the door to the restroom was closed. She must be taking a shower she thought. Emily sat up in her bed and remembered everything that happened that night.

A small smile formed across her face as she remembered sobbing and telling Anna everything that has happened to her. It was good to tell someone. She felt safe when Anna wrapped her arms around her and calmed her down. Her smile faltered once she realized that she would be leaving Anna today. She let out a loud sigh and got out of bed.

Knowing that Anna could possibly take like a five minute shower, Emily gathered all of her belongings and made the bed. She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from the desk that was placed in between the tv stand and the wall.

I want to say thank you, thank you for taking me here, thank you for listening to my problems, thank you for what you've done, thank you for everything. If it wasn't for you I honestly don't know where or what I'd be doing right now. Anyway I'm sorry for leaving its just something I needed to do. I hope you understand. Thank you and sorry.
- Emily.

Emily's Pov:

I read the note again. And again. I wasn't sure if this is what I should be doing, but I have nothing else to do. Everything is already set. Basically I have no other choice, but to leave. I place the paper on Anna's bed hoping she'll see it.

With one last look at the room I picked up my things and whispered to myself "I'm sorry, Anna". I head over to the door and prepared myself to make a run for it.

My hand wraps around the door knob, slowly pulling the door open. I stood there, in the door way for a few minutes. Do I really want this? I thought.

Taking a deep breath, i walked out of the doorway. Part of me was dying to leave the hotel as soon as possible, but the other, hoped that Anna would come out and try to stop me from leaving.

Once the door shut all the way, I immediately dashed away from the door. I went to the nearest elevator and pressed the arrow that pointed down. It felt like forever as i waited for the elevator. I pressed it again and again. "Come on" I whispered loudly and looked around to make sure no one was around.

After waiting for a while, I decided to just use the staircase. I made my way back down the hall and passed my room. I see the door for the staircase, but stopped when I hear my name being called.

"Emily?"

By the tone of the voice I, couldn't help, but feel guilty. The voice cracked and i glanced over my shoulder to see Anna, standing a few feet away. She stood there in her clothes as her damp hair fell around her shoulders. I see the note in her hand.

"I'm sorry" was all that came from my mouth.

"why?" she asked quietly.

"I-I don't k-know, I'm sorry"

She looked like she wanted to cry. I felt my heart break. No, this isn't what I wanted. I take a step forward, and she takes a step back in the room. I take one more step forward. I wait for her reaction, though I don't receive anything. Not for a few minutes at least.

"why?" She asked again a little louder this time.

I look down. I mess with the hem of my shirt. I feel so stupid. How could I ever do something like this to her. I'm such an idiot.

"I thought that-that I should j-just go. I don't want to b-bother you, and I don't e-expect you to w-want to deal with s-someone like m-me," I stutter trying not to cry.

"I'm s-sorry, really I a-am"

"What makes you think that?"

I huff and just scoot over to the wall and slide down.

"I don't k-know, I'm not normal like other kids and no one could ever really love me, right?"

"Emily," she starts and I can feel her come over and sit next to me.

"look at me, please?"

I look up at her and stared into her eyes.

"Don't ever say those words again. You are perfect. And if you feel like no one loves you that's where you're wrong. I love you,"

My heart beat increases, did I hear her correctly? Did she actually say what I thought she said? Does she really mean that?

"Yes I do mean that. I really do. I know that I haven't known you for long, but this past few days have lead me to get to know you a lot better. Learning about what has happened to you, that just shows me that you need to have someone to care for you, to love you so much until they die, and well I want to be that person. I want to adopt you, Emily"

I could feel my jaw drop. She, Anna Kendrick, the Anna Kendrick wants to adopt me. Me.

"You do?"

A smile crept its way up onto her face.

"Yea, I really do"

I smile back at her and slowly leaned into her. Anna wraps her arms around me like she did last night. I relaxed into her and just closed my eyes. This is what I've been waiting for.

I can feel her arms unravel from around me.

"Let's go, we have somewhere to be and I don't think I can wait any longer"
