Falling In The Wrong Direction

It's Not Cheating is it??....

Emma's P.O.V

Waking up this morning was like waking up into another world. Tonnes of people were here, I was in my own private room in the hospital and it looked like a fairy tale. There were ribbons all over, balloons covering the ceiling. It was magic! It was my birthday and I was going to meet my family and friends again after the accident. But the room was silent.

"Emma, how are you feeling?" Bailey asked cautiously.

"Perfect, I'm perfect. This is amazing" I replied.

"So Emma, this is your Mum and this is your Dad" Caspar told me calmly pointing towards the end of my bed that I was tucked in at two middle aged people who I remembered nothing about! But I did remember one face, which was terribly weird because I didn't even remember Alfie, who was there when I had the accident.

"I know you, I really do know you" I said to the girl the same age as me who was stood beside my bed.

"Me?" The girl asked puzzled.

"Yes, I remember talking to you before this happened"

"I'm Charleigh, your best friend"

I threw the covers away to reveal my creased outfit from yesterday. The pipes around my body stranded me and I couldn't get up to hug her but I did my best and threw my arms around her bursting into tears. During the night I must have fell unconscious because I now had a machine thing attached to me. I did have one on two days ago when I first came into hospital but they took it off me so that I could get changed and I didn't need it any more. I did now though! So there was no way I could get my top changed now because of the pipes.

"Charleigh, can you come and help me get changed please?" I asked.

"Yeh, sure. I'll carry the machine and your clothes, you just walk" She replied.

"I'm so glad I have you, I need to talk to you about something whilst I'm getting changed"

"Ok, what's up?"

"I want to know if I had a good relationship with Alfie"

"You were total love birds!" She replied reassuring me that we were totally into each other.

"Thank you Charleigh, you're amazing. Hey, what do you think is going on with Bailey and Joe? Yesterday it was Bailey and Caspar but it now seems to be Bailey and Joe"

"I think that Joe and Bailey are a thing but I also think that Joe and Caspar have fell out"

"Ooooo, banta" I laughed.

"Anyway you, your all dressed and ready in your amazing white skinny jeans and your cute black and white striped long sleeved crop top"

"Thank you Charleigh, your amaze balls"

"Ha ha, you do make me laugh, now lets get back to your celebration!"

We both hurried as quick as we could dragging my machine thing behind me. It was going to be interesting!

"We're back!" I squealed bursting through my hospital room door. The door was as plain as any old door, an off white colour with stains from god knows what!

"EMMA! BIRTHDAY GIRL!" Everyone screamed back at me as I slammed the door shut. The party had only just begun!

It's morning now and I am shattered! I woke up laid on the floor of my 'room' and I don't for the life of me know how I got here.

"Nurse!" I shouted trying to get help because I couldn't get up myself from all the injuries, the machine thingy was somehow still attached to me.

Someone was opening the door, yippee!

"Oh my! Are you okay?" A boy asked me in shock.

"Yeah, I'm good. You know, just chilling" I said casually. "But seriously, help me up, I'm starting to panic" I said to the boy. We were similar age and he was proper good looking, but I have my love of my life already. He slowly and carefully lifted me onto the edge of the bed and smiled.

"Well.... I best be going then" He said awkwardly.

"No, don't go. I need someone to keep me company, tell me more about yourself?" I asked inquisitively.

"Oh, ok. Well, I'm in this hospital like I have been for the past few months. I've been asking to go home but they say I'm still not well enough. 'Suit yourself' I always tell them." He paused so I quickly jabbed a question into the convo.

"How come your here in the first place?"

"Car accident"

"Same! Well, not really. I was hit by a car, I wasn't in one"

"I was the passenger, one night I needed a lift from my now ex girlfriends house and my friend was the only one around. So I rang him up and asked him to come and fetch me, little did I know that he had just got back from a house party! It was early in the morning, like 4:15am or something. He arrived safely but on the way home he passed out next to me, in front of my very eyes. I quickly unplugged my seatbelt so that I could reach over and steer us to safety but it was too late. The car hit a lorry full pelt and I sprung out of my seat into the wind screen, boom! That's all I remember, after that I blacked out but I must have gone through the wind screen. And for my friend, he got crushed in the car by the lorry, a total gonner. The next thing I know I'm waking up here with voices and crying everywhere whispering 'Come on Matt, you can make it?'. It haunts me forever! I've never left this place since and I never intend to set foot in a car again...."

"So that's your name"

"That's all you picked up from that!" He said with anger but a tear in his eyes.

"No, no. Of course not!" I said softly. He started to cry so I felt incredibly guilty, I chucked my arms around him a held him tight. I could tell he enjoyed it and he hadn't had a heart felt warm hug for a while.

"I'm sorry, I just get really emotional when I talk about it and stuff" He said embarrassed after we had broke away from our hug.

"Hey, don't be upset or embarrassed about it" I said whilst wiping a tear from his face caringly.

I had feelings for him already! I needed to explain all of my emotions and feelings to Alfie.

"So.... I suppose you should be going, see you round" I awkwardly said to Matt. I went to kiss him on the cheek and he went for the lips! Smash, into each others lips, what was I going to tell Alfie. This wasn't cheating was it??....
