Emily's POV

          Jade is still in the hospital, her step father is back in jail, for life this time. Her wounds are healing, though they are sensitive, and Jade needs help with most things because she is still very weak.

***8:00am***

          "Need some help, baby girl?" I ask her and hold my hands out as she tries to sit herself up in bed. "Yes please" She smiles a little and grabs my hands, slowly sitting up. I carefully turn her so her legs are hanging off the bed. We wrap our arms around each other and she gets up, leaning against me. I hold her up and help her walk upstairs to go to physical therapy. When we get there I kiss her softly then carefully sit her down. "Thank you" She smiles and gently pulls me so I'm kneeling in front of her, surprising me with her strength.

Jade's POV

          "Thank you" I smile and gently pull her so she is kneeling in front of me, surprising her with my strength. "Your arms are getting stronger baby girl" Emily smiles and holds my hands. "I just wish my legs were stronger..." I mumble, lean forward, and bury my face in her neck, tearing up. "Just give it time, it will happen" Emily whispers and holds me, being careful not to hurt my wounds. I nod and relax under her touch, looking up at her. "I love you" Emily randomly states, making me smile like an idiot. "I love you too" I whisper, resting my forehead against hers. She smiles and kisses my nose.

***One Hour Later***

          "Hey baby?" I whisper, looking at my Emmy. "Hmmm?" She looks back at me, brushing a strand of hair out of my face. I subconsciously lean into her touch. "Will you rub my legs please?" I ask sweetly. "Of course, baby girl" Emmy kisses my forehead then moves down on the bed, starting to gently but effectively rub my legs, leaving light kisses on my fading bruises, just like she did the first time I came to her house. I smile and mess with her hair, watching her. "You are so sweet" I giggle softly as her lips tickle my skin. "Thank ya, lovebug" My Emmy smiles brightly and carefully pulls me into her lap, holding me close. "You're welcome" I smile and curl up in her arms, laying my head on her chest. She kisses my forehead and pulls a blanket over me, rubbing my head as I fall asleep.

A/N: Hey people! I decided that I couldn't write a second part to this book because I think this one is really good, so I'm just adding an epilogue to this one. I hope you enjoy it! <3
