Lost Yet Found

Chapter 26 - Saving or Dying

here's and update sorry about that last cliffhanger it had to be done, :)

Nick replied "I'm not going to stop you, Emily just promise me you won't die in vain trying to save her," I nodded and said "I'm going to download a tracking app in Demi's phone she left it in the room, you can use your phone to find us." Nick replied "okay I'll find you guys and call the cops," I said "if I don't make it tell Demi I love her," before I walked out of the hotel room and grabbed Demi's phone and downloaded the app before slipping it in my back pocket. I walked to into the elevator and got off when it stopped on the first floor, I walked out of the hotel and looked around Nat's dad was standing a few feet from the door. I walked over to him and said "where's my mother, he smirked and replied "not telling," as something hard hit me in the back of the head, and I blacked out.

When I opened my eyes again Demi was sitting across from me, I looked around and saw Nat's dad standing a few feet away from me he said "sorry your both a little tied up at the moment, but thats the only way mother can watch daughter die." Demi struggled and Nat's dad said "none of that now," as he stabbed me, then shot me in the chest, then stabbed me again, he continued "Rob, watch them, make sure she dies this time, I've got a feeling the cops are coming."

I closed my eyes and said "Nick's on his way, he's tracking your phone in my pocket, cops will be here soon," Demi said "Emily please save your breath, hang in there okay, I can't bear lose you, I love you." Tears ran down my face as the world began fading away the last thing I heard was Demi saying "hang on Emily help will be here soon, just hang on," then everything went black.

{Demi's P.O.V.}

I could only watch as Emily bled out, all I could do was talk to her try to help her keep awake, but it's too late for that now she's blacked out and if she doesn't get help soon she'll die, the next thing I knew I heard sirens and the building was swarming with cops one untied me, and E.M.T.'s untied and put Emily on a stretcher. I ran into Nick trying to get into the ambulance, he said "hey Demi, are you okay, how's Emily?," I pushed past him and said "she's dying," as I got into the ambulance, Nick followed me in.

Nick wrapped his arm over my shoulder and said "she'll be okay Demi, just have faith, she's in good hands," I put my head on his shoulder and cried, replying "she's barely breathing, she barely has a heartbeat, Nick I'm so scared for her."  Nick wrapped both arms around me and said "it'll be okay Demi, the doctors will help her," the ambulance stopped and the E.M.T's got out and wheeled emily off in the stretcher. Nick led me to the waiting room, and said "sit down I'm going to talk to the doctor, but you have to promise me you won't run off and have a mental breakdown somewhere." 

I replied "I won't I'm going to stay here and be incredibly upset that my adopted daughter is possibly still dying because she saved my life, because she sacrificed herself for me," Nick said "she told me to tell you she loves you." I started crying again and Nick walked off toward a doctor standing in  the hallway, he came back and sat down before he said "she needs surgery, they said she's in pretty bad shape but she's hanging in there. They said there's a 70% chance she won't make it through the surgery but she won't live much longer if she doesn't get it, what do you want to do," I said "I-I, I want her to have the surgery but I to see her before she goes into surgery, in case she."

Demi walked with over to the doctor and I signed the consent forms, I walked over to Emily's bed and kissed her on the forehead before saying "I love you, stay strong for me okay," before I walked out of the room and into Nick's arms. Emily was then wheeled off to the operation room as Nick walked with me back to the waiting room, he said "I'm sorry I couldn't get there any sooner Demi. I replied "it's okay Nick I know you did your best, I'm just really scared for her, I'm afraid she'll die and I won't be there to say goodbye, or she'll die scared and alone, and--." 

Nick cut me off and said "hey she's in good hands, she'll make it, she's a fighter Demi," I looked up and said "there's only a 30% chance she'll make it Nick, don't get my hopes up to be crushed." Nick just replied "I'm only trying to help make you feel better," I replied "I know, I appreciate it but it's not helping very much," into his shoulder and he just wrapped an arm over me trying to comfort me.

When the doctor came back about 2 hours later his face was solemn Nick got up and said "I'll talk to him," Nick and the doctor talked for a little while until Nick came over and sat down next to me. He said "I'm sorry to say that she's in a coma and the doctors don't think she's going to wake up, and if she does it won't be anytime soon they said it'll be a miracle if she does ever wake up." Tears streamed down my face and Nick held my hand and continued "they said you can see her now if you want to, they said she's stable for now," I nodded and said "I want to see her." Nick and the doctor led me to the room Emily was in I stood outside the doorway tears streaming down my face, I turned to Nick and said "will you go in with me I don't want to be alone."
