Emma Carters
Beep. Beep. Beep. That's what I hear for the past hours. I can't move, I can't see, I can barely feel, but I can hear. I hear almost everything around me. I try to open my eyes or move, but it fail everytime I try. I really want to see Jason and tell him everything is alright, but I can't. I feel like I'm paralyze. I hear people's whispers around me and have no idea who they are. I try my hardest to open my eyes, or maybe just a small movement, but it doesn't work. I really want to open my eyes and look around.
I'm about to give up but then I remember Jason. I wonder how's he doing. He could be crying right now and if I give up right here right now, he'll be devastated. I can't do that especially I'm the reason why. I use all my strength and try to move my fingers once more and it finally works. I mentally smile. I try to open my eyes with force because my eyelids are so heavy. Once I open it, I see nothing but white light. I blink a few times to adjust the bright light. I look around without moving too much cause my stomach is still hurts like hell and trying to find Jason or Alex or anyone. But instead of seeing Jason, I see my ... parents, my brothers and Caleb? Wait, what? Where's Jason?
"Mom, Dad." I croak. I really need some water, my throat is so damn dry.
"Emma!" My Mom exclaims as she runs toward me. She's about to pull me into a hug but then she remembers that I got shot in the stomach. So she just hugs me lightly without hurting my stomach.
"I'm so glad you're alright!" My Mom cries.
I feel a few tears running down my cheek. I haven't see my parents and my brothers for so long. I lightly hug her back. "I miss you mom."
After a few minutes of hugging and crying, my mom pulls away and gives me a glass of water. I try to sit up without hurting my stomach more before drink the whole glass of water. I hand my mom back the glass after I'm done.
My dad rushes toward me and pats my shoulder lightly after my mom walks away. I can see dry tears on his cheek and new forming tears in his eyes. I barely see my dad cries. "I'm alright dad, don't worry." I give him a small smile.
"You worry us so much sweetheart." My dad says then kisses my forehead.
After my dad walks away, my twin little brothers, Connor and Nate, run toward me and climb my bed. I really miss my brothers. I pull them into a hug and kiss their head softly. "I miss you buddies!"
"We miss you too sis!" Connor exclaims. "Where are you this whole time?" The way he asks me the question, he sounds so innocent. How can I tell him I'm being kidnapped by the most wanted criminal and the craziest thing? I fall in love with him.
"Well, I'm just busy. I promise I'll be there more this time." I reply as I stroke Nate and Connor's heads. Hopefully Jason will let me see my family after this whole thing. They nod and smile then get up from my bed.
The last person who walks over to me is Caleb. I honestly has forgotten about him. And to be honest, I'm surprise to see him comes here after this whole thing. "Hey Boo, how are you?" He asks softly. He still remembers the nickname he always calls me. He's still the sweet Caleb I know.
"I'm alright, don't worry." I assure him, or maybe me? I don't even know anymore.
He nods and kisses my right cheek. "I still love you after this whole mess, you know that right?"
That's when my whole world freezes. I don't know how to reply to that. I never know Caleb will wait for me for this long. I though he left me, but no, he's still here, waiting for me. Guilt is filling me now. I mean I has cheated on him with Jason. What am I suppose to do? Should I tell him or just keep it as a secret? "Emma?" I don't realize I've been silent for quite long until Caleb decides to break it.
"Y-yeah?" I stutter.
"Were you listening to what I say a few minutes ago?" He asks with a soft tone. Great, now he makes me guiltier than ever. I reply with a simple yes and fake smile. "So.." He trails off.
"Of course I know," I reply with a fake smile. He smiles and pecks my lips. I don't know why, but the kiss -- or pecks -- feels so wrong yet right. Right because I'm still practically dating him, wrong because I think I love Jason more. Caleb says he's going out to grab something eat for me since he still remembers I hate hospital's food.
It's silent for a moment until I decide to break it. "Dad, Mom, do you know where's Jason or the crew?" I ask. There is no way I'm saying 'the gang'.
By the time the question slips from my mouth everyone is staring at me like I have two heads or something. I give them a confuse look. Dad takes a deep breath before reply, "You still look for him after what he did to you? To us?" Dad asks, unbelievable. I look down and nod. I'm debating should I tell them that Jason and I are dating or just leave it. "What is wrong with you Emma?" Dad ask with confuse expression.
"Because I think I love him." I whisper.
"You what?!"
"I think I love him dad. Jason and I are dating." I say louder this time.
I look over at my mom who has shock written on her face then I can see tears are forming in her eyes, I turn my gaze to my brothers who look confuse and lastly I turn my attention back to my dad, he looks extremely angry.
"You have to forget about him! He's a bad news! Beside he's the most wanted criminal!" My dad yells with an angry tone.
"What? Dad! You can't do that!" I argue, trying not to yell.
"I don't care. But I will give you two options to choose. The first one is I let you to see him, but you'll have to see him in jail because I'll send him in or the second one is you pretend to forget about him like you have an amnesia and I won't send him to jail. You choose." My dad says.
I stare at him with a widen eyes. How could him do that? I can't let Jason sends to jail because I know he'll be dead in the second he's being send in. For god's sake! He's the most wanted criminal! I don't want to leave Jason but I don't want my dad to send to jail. I take a deep sigh before saying my final decision.
"I'll choose the second one."
