Jason McCann
I'm sitting in the waiting room, crying and waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us how's Emma doing. I still can't believe Amber dared to do that to Emma just for revenge. Just because I killed her uncle who killed my parents in front of Alex and I. I clench my fist in anger. I swear, I will find her and kill her, I'll keep this promise since I broke the promise that I promised Emma -- to keep her safe.
"Jason?" I hear someone call. I don't try to look up because I don't want anyone to see me with red puffy eyes, even if some of them already saw it.
"Jason," The person calls again. But this time instead keep my head low, I look up. I see Alex and Nick.
Nick. I somehow think it's kind of his fault. If he told us what happened and be honest with us, none of this will happen. I will probably save Jade, Nick's sister, kill Amber and Emma won't be here.
"I hope you know a part of this is your fault." That's the first thing I say, with a blank face as I staring at Nick.
Nick nods shamefully. "Yeah, I know and I'm sorry. She told me not to tell anyone or she will kill Jade." Nick admits.
I just look away without saying anything. I know he can take that as a hint that I won't forgive him soon and he does. He walks away a few seconds later.
"Jason, are you okay?" Alex asks, taking a sit next to me. I just shrug without saying anything. "I know you'd been crying, your eyes are still red and puffy." He says.
I shoot him a glare. "Shut up!" I snap.
"It's okay to break down sometimes you know? I know Emma means a lot to me, and trust me, she means a lot to me too since she's going to be my sister in law." Alex teases which makes me blush. But what if she didn't survive? What will I do? No, no Jason! Don't think that! She's stronger than you thought.
"If you want to cry, you can cry. As a brother, I'll be your shoulder to cry on," Alex says. "I know you want to," Alex adds.
I can't do it anymore. I can't look strong right now so I sob in Alex's shoulder. My mind keep thinking negative things, like what if Emma didn't survive? Who will love me like she does? Who will make me stay sane in this world? Who will be my soul mate? And so on. I can't lose her, she means a lot, too much actually.
Alex pats my back. "It's alright. Emma is a strong girl and we know that. We know she'll survive." Alex tries to assure me. I pull away and thank him for letting me cry and not judging me. "It's alright little brother. Now smile in case Emma awakes soon, she must wants to see your smile." Alex says. I give him a fake smile then we sit in silence waiting for the doctor.
A few moment later, Chaz is running panicky toward us. I ask him what's wrong and he gives me a worry expression. "Emma's parents are here, along with Caleb!"
"What?!" I yell as I stand up. "How do they know she's here?!"
"Someone must had told them, and I believe you know who I'm thinking," Chaz trails off.
"Amber."
"Bingo!" Chaz exclaims. "But I don't know if she's here that's why I told Nick to track her." Chaz informs. I nod and ask him to give me the information as soon as he finds it. He replies with a yes before walks away.
"What should we do now?" Alex asks.
I shrug. "Let's just hoping for the best." I simply reply.

"Jason!" I hear someone yells my name when I'm waiting for my coffee. I turn around and see Ryan running toward me. "I have good news and bad news!" Ryan informs. "Which one you want to hear first?" I reply with good news then take a sip of my coffee as we walk back to the waiting room. "Well, the good news is Emma is awake!"
I stop right in my track and smile widely. Emma is awake! It means she's alive! But my smile slowly fades away when he hasn't tell me the bad news. "So, what's the bad news?"
Ryan looks away and mumbles something really quick under his breath before walking away. I raise an eyebrow and run toward him. "Can you explain it a little slower and make it clear?" I request.
Ryan sighs. "Emma parents find out Emma's room, and her parents are coming with Caleb."
I widen my eyes. "What?!" I yell then quickly run to Emma's room. By the time I reach Emma's room, her parents are already there along with Caleb. Emma is just sitting on her bed staring at me.
"McCann." Her dad greets with a glare as soon as I enter the room. "Get out from this room! Now!" He demands loudly.
I ignore him and walk over to Emma. I quickly pull her into a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay. I'm sorry for not protecting you." I mumble an apologize as I hug her tightly, but not too tight since she's being shot in the stomach. She doesn't hug me back which makes me worry. Emma slowly pulls away then staring at me. She furrows her eyebrows and staring at me weirdly. The next three words that coming out from her mouth really makes my stomach drops.
"And you are?"
