Lana Parrilla 27

12.

I drove around the busy streets till I decided to pull up to a store called Ben's. I just sat the going over everything that had happened. Really? She tries to corner me into talking to her? I was shaken from my thoughts by a knock on the passenger window. I looked over to see a cop. I rolled the window half way down.
"Is there a prob-" that's when I recognized the cop. "You son of a bitch." I seethed. He looked amused.
"Nice to see you too Emilee. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." I rolled my eyes. This man had a lot of gut.
"How the hell did you manage to get your ass out of jail Gabriel?" I was tired of this man trying to ruin my life. He pulled the gun from his hip and tapped it lightly on the window. I chuckled. Was he really this stupid?
"Uh no you see all the store cameras are picking everything up. You would know that if you were smarter." I grinned at him knowing I had hit a spot. He rolled his eyes.
"Open the door." He said through gritted teeth. I couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Sorry officer do you have a warrent? Because other wise no." With that I pulled out of the parking space. he ran over to the police cruiser he stole and turned on the lights. I sped down the road weaving in and out of traffic.
I dialed the police.
"911 whats your emergency?" "Hello my name is Emilee Peterson, I'm 17 years old and currently im am being persude by a police car that has Gabriel Hallow dressed as a cop. Hes going to try to kill me. I'm currently on Trin Ave. if he calls for back up please send them after him." "Okay stay calm Emilee I'm sending officers your way." With that she hung up. I dialed Lana's number because if I died she wouldn't know anything.
"Emilee! Were are you he is out!" "I know hes right behind me in a police cruiser he stole it. Lana hes going to finish me this time." I couldn't stop the tears now. "Emilee did you call the police? Are you hurt?"I smiled weakly. " Lana if I don't make it please know that I was scared. Scared of getting attached. Scared of having it taken from me so I pushed it away. Don't cry please!" i swerved around another car. "Emilee don't talk like that! Please you can't give up!" she broke down on the other end. It hurt me that the reason she was feeling so heart broken was because of me. I wish I could take that night back I should have left. I wouldn't be driving for my life right now. "Thanks for not giving up on me." she broke down even further. "No Emilee please!" my tears were now all over my face. I took a rugged breath and said the words I wanted to say forever. "I love you Lana." with that i hung up and gripped the steering wheel with both hands. My phone rang I saw that it wasn't a number I answered it. "Hello?" "Emilee take a left there is a barricade all you need to do is drive to them and stop the other direction has another we will box him in." I yanked hard on my wheel, my tires skidding with the sharp turn. I hung up and pressed the accelorator all the way to the floor. I saw him right behind me. I stomped on the breaks when I got close enough. He had to swerve to miss me. that's when I saw that the other barricade had moved in and had blocked us in. When he came to a stop he was immediately attacked by the many police officers. A couple came over to me and opened the door asking if i was okay or if i needed anything. I just hopped out. Somehow he managed to get free enough to get over to me. He had put his legs over the cuffs so his hands were in front of him. He came up behind me and started to choke me with the chain. The officers ran over and started to get me free. When they got him off me i fell to the ground. A parramedic came over and helped me onto a stretcher. When I got to the hospital I was struggling to breath even though i wasn't being strangled anymore. They put an air mask over my face. My vision was blurry. the edge of my view i could see officers trying to a keep a screaming woman from getting to close. I smiled knowing it was Lana. I blinked a few more times before everything went blank.

Lanas POV

"That's my daughter!" i screamed struggling to get through the police. Adam and Eddie came up behind me. They have temporary custody of her so they were let through. "Let her through." Eddie motioned for them to let me through. I glared at them as I walked past. I walked over to her bed side. she looked at me and smiled weakly. I gripped her hand tightly.
"I'm so sorry Em!" i was crying all over again. She shook her head. "Don't be. I knew the risks. I took them." she whispered. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. I started panicking until I noticed the faint rise and drop of her chest indicating that she was just sleeping. The doctor came in and checked her for any injuries lucklly there was nothing but slight bruising and scraps. They told me that it would be alright and that she should sleep through the night and will wake in the mourning. I talked to her mom who gave me permission to beat her ass the next time she scares me. I told her i might use it she just laughed. Adam and Eddie dealt with the media and said that it was all a stunt and that nothing was real. Except Emilee had hit her head and they really needed to take her to the hospital.
Later that night when everything had calmed down I was sitting in chair next to Emilees hospital bed flipping through the channels until I came across the first episode that Emilee was in. It was put on the other day. I watched her as she acted. When they zoomed in on her face and she said goodbye to me I looked in her eyes to see that she was hurting even then. And I barely knew her. A couple minutes later the door opened softly and Fred walked in. I turned off the TV and glared at him.
"What do you think your doing here?" I whispered through gritted teeth. He looked a little uncomfortable but I didn't care.
"I'm here to support my wife." He whispered back. I raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
"Your wife?" He nodded slightly.
"Well legally yes. I hope still mentally." I shook my head and kept myself from laughing.
"Fred you made it quite clear that you don't love me any more now why don't you go run off with your woman?" I spit. He looked at me stunned.
"Lana it was a mistake can't you understand that? I love you and only you! She left me! Alright?" He said raising his voice. I had had it up to here with him. I got up and pulled him out of the room closing the door behind me softly.
"You don't get to come her after almost two months of having sex with someone else maybe longer and tell me you want me back. I'll admit that I have feelings for you but I am not about to lose what I have right now. So if you'd like to leave now I'll be sending the divorcement papers in a few days." He had tears coming down his face.
"Please Lana." I wiped away my own tears and went back in the room to to see Emilee sitting up, looking at me with tears in her eyes. I rushed over to her and  sat down facing her. I cupped her cheeks and wiped away the tears that had already fallen.
"Em what's wrong?" She started to cry harder. I tried to pull her close but she pushed away. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion she looked at me with a look a couldn't read clearly.
"Go. I don't want you here. I know what I said but I'm not risking anything." She looked away from me. I stood up.
"I'm not leaving you and your not leaving either. I want to help no matter how much you push." She looked at me her eyes soft but they turned to anger just as quickly.
"I don't want you here! What part don't you understand after this season I'm leaving anyways. You won't have to worry about me so you better start now." She seethed. I shook my head.
"I'm not giving up on you! No matter what you say. I'm going to go get s coffee than we'll talk." I grabbed my purse and left.

Emilees POV

When she had been gone 10 minutes I asked the doctor if I could leave and he said I could but I had to breath without the machine for five minutes. Just a test. I took it off and sat there for five minutes when he came back I got my cloths back on and they told me my jeep was out side with the keys in the visor. I walked out and looked to see if Lana was back yet. I knew she was going to a shop because she doesn't like the coffee here. I ran to my car and opened the door. I stepped in pulling my seat belt on. I let the keys fall into my lap when I pulled it down. I grabbed them and shoved them into the ignition.
I drove to my trailer and grabbed a bag of cloths. Tomorrow is Saturday so I don't have work. I called Adam to tell him I was going to a nearby town for the weekend and not to worry he said ok and to be carful. I drove until I could drive no more bringing me to a small town about an hour away from Vancouver.
