JOE'S POV.
I woke up in the same chair i sat in earlier. Feeling really tired. I haven't gotten much sleep. I looked over at Caspar who was snoring really loudly.
I then switched my eyes from Caspar to Emma. She was looking straight at the ceiling.
"Emma?" I said and she looked at me in chock.
"Sorry."
"That's twice!!" She said at me but i could see it hurt. Cause she was holding her stomach.

"What are you thinking about." I asked her trying to make a conversation.
"How much prettier your ceiling is compared to this." She said with a grin.
"Our."
She looked confused so i continued.
"Our ceiling."
She smiled at me and nodded.

"You should rest. I'll go get your pain killers and some breakfast for you."
"Thanks Joe. For being so nice."
She said giving me a smile. She looks so much more alive today than she did yesterday.
"Well you know me."
I said grinning at her and walked out of the door.

As i walked through all these hospital halls on the way to the cafeteria, I had a feeling of inspiration. The walls were all white. I really wanted to spread some paint all over these walls. It's depressing to be in a hospital. No need to make it worse.

I got to the cafeteria and took a plate and a knife and a fork. I took some eggs, sausage and bacon on the plate. And placed a little piece of bread to the side. I then just took a glass of apple juice cause i knew Emma didn't like coffee. I then went to where all the doctor's sat. I asked for Emma's pain killers and she handed them over. As i walked back i felt so sad. I looked around. A little girl on around 12 or 14 was in a wheel chair and she had no hair on her head. Cancer.

That girl has her whole life in front of her. She shouldn't waste a minute sitting in a wheel chair. I started to walk back to Emma's room, when I heard a voice from behind.
"Joe?" The girl in the wheel chair said.
I turned around and walked up to her.
"Yes?" I said and she covered her mouth with her hand.
"It's really you. Can i please have a picture? " she said smiling at me.
"Of course." I then took a selfie with her on her phone and on my own. She then told me she has, had cancer for about 2 years. Which broke my heart. She doesn't deserve to be in this position. She asked why I was here and if Caspar was okay. Since she could see I was fine.

"Caspar is fine. We're here for our friend Emma." I then told her that Emma was really shy and didn't want to be in our vlogs, so that's why she hadn't seen her. The girls name was Nina and she fully understood.
"Hey. No matter what! You promise to never give up, and keep fighting. Please." I said and meant it. She nodded with tears streaming down her face.

"Now gimme some!" I said fist bumping her.
"I gotta get this to Emma or it will get cold. Lovely speaking to you. Bye!" I said waving and she waved back at me.
What a cutie. I went back to Emma and gave her, her food. Caspar was awake when I got there and he promised to go to a cafe to get us some food, since visitors aren't allowed the food, the patients get. Emma took to the pain killers in one sip.

Me and Emma were just talking about random stuff, like the weather and funny moments we've had together these last couple of weeks. I was trying to build up a conversation without bringing up the incident.
"Remember when I scared you so bad that you dropped a knife and almost jumped to the ceiling." I said smiling at her. But i could see when she heard the word knife, her smile faded into a straight line.
"I'm sorry. Didn't mean to.." I got interrupted by Emma shrugging the sad expression off of her face.
"It's fine. It really is." She said smiling at me.

Then Caspar bursted through the door almost tripping over, when he came in.
"Why the rush?" I said.
"I just thought the coffee would get cold quick. So I hurried." He said looking very pleased with himself.
He handed me my cup of coffee and a bagel. I thanked him and started to eat.
"Aren't you going to eat any of that delicious hospital food I just got for you?" I said joking a little with Emma.
"Not if I'm not hungry!" She jokes back.
"Emmis you need to eat something or you will get sick." Caspar said very serious.
Emma looked at me, probably wanting me to agree with her.
"Caspar is right." I said and I meant it. It will probably just get worse if she doesn't get any food in her stomach.
"Thanks bro." She said looking at me with a smirk on her face. She knew Caspar was right so she started to eat.

We had just been talking for around 3 hours. We then heard a knock on the door and the doctor came in.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" The nice doctor said.
"Fantastic! I feel great. Can I go home please." She said with such strong enthusiasm.
"In a couple of hours, yes. We need to see if you can walk and sit and shower first. If the boys could please leave us so we can take these tests. I don't assume any of these are your boyfriends?" Emma shook her head.
"We're going to be right outside if you need anything." Caspar said looking at Emma. Emma nodded and said thanks. We then walked out the door.

"Joe? Did you meet Nina too?" Caspar said slowly and sad.
"Yes! I did." I then explained our meeting.
"She does not deserve this any bit! No one does. She has her whole life in front of her Joe. Can't we do anything to help her?" Caspar said looking at me with hope.
"I wish we could. But I don't think there is anything we can do." I said looking at Caspar in sorrow.

Me and Caspar was just chatting away about random stuff.
The door to Emma's room then opened and the doctor came out.
"Hey how is she feeling?" Caspar asked.
"She need to sit in a wheelchair for some time. Not long. You need to help her with her walking. Like let her sit the first day or two. Then start walking outside. Maybe an hour. Or until she begins to feel sick or ill. Keep pushing the limits. And she will soon be ready to walk." The doctor said smiling. "If you could please help with changing the bandages around her stomach once everyday for a week or two. We would then like if you took her in here again in 2 weeks so we can see how she is feeling." She said, me and Caspar nodded.
We thanked her and walked to Emma's room. She was sat in the wheelchair looking excited. The doctor had helped her with getting her shoes and jacket on. We then drove her down the hall. At the place where I had met Nina I stopped. She wasn't sitting there anymore. I would've asked her for her twitter. So I could see how she was feeling. Emma thanked her nurses and doctors on the way. When we got to my car I sat the wheelchair next to the passenger door. Emma jumped in and I got it folded up and into the trunk. Then we started driving. Caspar was sat in the back.

"We're going home." Emma said looking at us with such a happiness I've never seen her this happy.
