Don't mess with her

Chapter 36: Life's a bitch and it sent one to call me

Drake's POV

Emily was...laughing?

And not just any laugh, she was laughing hysterically. At what, you might be wondering.

I turned my sight, trying to see the source of her laughter and found Mason...with his shirt tied in the middle of his chest...exposing his stomach...with a bandana on the top of his head...dancing some Lady Gaga song.

"...and then she was like –holy sh*t, Drake..." Mason said after turning and stopping abruptly. He had his eyes as wide as saucers when he saw me standing on the doorway. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him.

Quick as lighting he took the bandana out of his head and fixed his shirt. He cleared his throat and mumble something about being hungry and returning in a bit. He looked at Emily, like waiting on her for permission. When I turned to look at her, her smile had vanished. She nodded and Mason scattered without a second glance towards me.

I turn slightly and closed the door softly. It took me a couple of seconds for me to let go of the door. I was trying to stall the inevitable, her yelling at me for not being here in one of the worse times of her life. And I wouldn't blame her.

"Drake..." Her voice made me shut my eyes. She sounded so ...broken.

I turned my body slowly to face her. "Hi..."

When I looked at her, my world shattered for the tenth time. Her bottom lip was trembling and a tear escaped her eye.

I couldn't hold it anymore. I ran to her and held her tightly. She settled her face in the crook of my neck. I rocked her softly when I felt her shaking softly.

She was crying.

It seemed like she was finally letting go of her strong façade. This made me feel like the lowest sh*t in this world. All this time I could've been here with her supporting her like this, and I was at home bitchin' about whether to be here or not.

I began to ran my fingers through her hair whispering words in her ear that I think were more to myself. "Everything's going to be okay."

After a few minutes, she moved back and began to wipe her tears. "I'm sorry." She mumbled.

"Emily...I..." I began to say but the words wouldn't come out.

I took a deep breath turning my gaze towards the window.

F*ck this! "I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry, please..." I looked at her and tears were now pooling down my cheeks. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care that she is seeing me like this. I didn't care if anyone else came in and saw me like this. I just... need her.

Emily took my face in her tiny hands and rested my forehead with hers. With one hand, she began to caress my face.

"I know...I know." She whispered.

"It's time for me to speak now." She kept saying in a whisper and caressing my face. "I'm so sorry for the way I acted when you just made a mistake. I'm sorry for not being able to see pass the fact that you were hurting for that mistake. I'm sorry for not being brave and stand up for our relationship when you were trying desperately to simply talk to me trying to fix it. I'm sorry for the fact that I yelled at you in your house for something that it's material. And I'm sorry for the way I screamed at you saying that I hated you...when in reality it's the opposite."

I backed away a little from her trying to look at her in the eyes. She feels the opposite?

She nodded like if she was listening to my thoughts.

She looked at me straight in the eyes. "I love you."

Suddenly my heart was too big to fit in my chest. She loves me? I know I've said it a few times but I've never heard her say it.

My smile grew so big that I got a little worried that I might scare her. I grabbed the back of her neck and brought her lips to mine. I kissed her so desperately that I felt her smile and giggle.

She backed a little, breaking the kiss. "I'm not going anywhere Drake."

"I know." I said close to her lips. "I won't let you." I kissed her again but this time less hungrily and more passionately. Oh God, listen to me. I sound like such a p*ssy. This is what girls do to you man.

We both broke the kiss when we needed to breathe. Stupid breathing.

"I love you so much." I confessed again to her when I took her face in my hands. With my thumbs, I caressed her tear stained cheeks. "I'm sorry I was away for so long."

"It doesn't matter anymore. You are here now." She smiled. I stared at her. Damn, I missed her so much. The way she smiles and her eyes sparkle and her skin glows with that beautiful blush of hers. Only one thing comes to my mind right now...I'm so f*cking whipped.

"You know, they are still making some tests." She paused looking at me with uncertainty, weighing if she should break our moment with the news or not.

I nodded, eager to find out what have the doctors said about her condition.

"The cancer has not spread to other parts. It was detected on time. The tumor it's located on the thyroid. They say that it could be extracted and with some after treatment it should be fixed." She smiled at me with hope filling her eyes.

I matched her smile. "That is the best news I've ever heard in my life."

I felt so happy that when I hugged her again I backed off quickly thinking that I might have crushed her.

"Ouch" She laughed and hugged me back.

"Come lie with me." I wasn't told twice when I quickly removed my shoes and lied on the bed. I brought her to me and she rested her head next to mine. I felt her breathing on my neck.

I couldn't help but think that this felt so real. She was really next to me. I tighten my hold around her waist and she complied by getting closer to me.

The television was playing softly and we began to watch it. Well, more like stare at it. My mind was so happy that I couldn't even bring myself to care of what it was showing.

I felt like nothing could ruin this moment right now. But why are people so wrong when they think that?

Right, real life doesn't care about your happiness. And since life was a bitch, it sent one to call me.

I ignored the vibration on my pocket, but Emily didn't.

"Drake, I think your pants are vibrating." She laughed softly.

"Whoever it is, they can wait." I snuggled closer to her making her giggle. I smiled but felt a short vibration after my phone stopped notifying me of an incoming call.

I ignored it for a while. Soon, Emily felt heavier and I knew without looking at her that she fell asleep.

I turned to look at her when I heard her snoring softly. Her head shook a little when I laughed at that. Oh, I'm going to use this information to my advantage.

My phone vibrated again, letting me know that I still had an unread message. I sighed and took it out of my pocket.

My hold on it tightened when I read the message.

Don't forget about tonight, baby.
