Nathan opened his eyes. 'What just happened...' He thought. He looked around.
"Emma."
He sat up. He was in a hospital room. He got off the bed and ran towards the front desk.
"Can I help you sir?"
"Yes. M-My..."
Nathan paused. About to say girlfriend.
"Friend... My friend... E-Emma... Where is she?!"
"She's in Room 737 on the 3rd floor."
Nathan nodded.
"Thank y-you."
He ran up to the 3rd floor. He ran around looking for Room 737. He finally found it and opened the door. Emma lay there. The heart monitor beeped reassuringly. He breathed a sigh of relief. Nathan slowly walked over to her. The nurse looked up.
"Ah. Her boyfriend I'm guessing."
"Haha.... No. I'm just her friend.."
"I see. Well I'll give some privacy."
The nurse walked out of the room. Nathan shakily pulled up a chair and sat down. Emma's arms were all stitched and bandaged. She seemed to be in some sort of coma.
"I-I should've stayed there.... If I s-stayed there, none of this would've happened... You would be safe.... You'd be ok..."
He took her hand and kissed it.
"I'm so sorry...."
Nathan heard running down the hall. Alana came rushing in.
"Emma! IS SHE OK!"
"Yeah... She's doing ok... Just... Asleep..."
She nodded and ran back outside. She came back in with a bunch of flowers, balloons, and gifts.
"Just to make sure when she wakes up it's all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. And so she knows she's loved, and cared for."
Alana looked at Emma's arms. She wiped tears from her face. Alana sighed, her voice full of sadness.
"Shoot.... I forgot something... I'll be back..."
She quickly hurried out of the room. Silence. The heart monitor continued to beep. Nathan walked back to Emma's bedside.
"Well... At least your alive... So thank you... And if you can hear me... I want you to know I love you. Everyone loves you and cares about you. So please, try to stay alive... For me at least... For Alana."
No reply. Just the sound of Emma's steady breathing. He sighed and kissed Emma's forehead.
"I'll be back soon. I promise. Don't die on me while I'm gone."
He turned to leave then heard some faint noises behind him.
"Hey Nathan...."
Nathan immediately turned around and ran to hug Emma.
"YOU'RE OK! AND ALIVE!"
"I'm still stitched up.... I know your very happy and excited... but decrease the strength a bit... You can fully hug me once I'm healed.."
