The Accident

Killian and Neal

I woke up feeling dizzy and sick to my stomach. I felt someone sitting on the side of the bed so without opening my eyes I reached my hand to them. The person sitting there jumped but then realized it was me. They got up and walked to... the door I'm guessing? They called the doctor from the door saying that I was awake. By his accent I knew it was Killian. I immediately relaxed but when I started to remember what happend when I saw Neal. I started panicking and Killian ran over to the bed. I still haven't opened my eyes yet because I'm afraid that I won't see anything. But I needed to see Killians face. I opened one eye at a time and everything was clear. How did that happen? What did they do to fix it?

I looked around the room and noticed all of the sad colours. It reminded me of my room at mom and dad's house, they never let me paint it so I tried to cover it up with bright colours. I looked around some more and my eyes fell on Killian. "Can you see better, Swan?" I shook my head yes and looked around some more. My eyes fell on the door it was almost all the way closed but I could see someone standing outside of the room. My eyes squinted trying to focus on it but I still couldn't make out who it was. I looked at Killian and saw a paper on a table behind him he turned to see what I was looking at. "Oh, that's the paper you need to sign so you can leave." I looked at him with a smile on my face and then the smile turned upside down "Who was that person?" I asked him. I heard the door squeak open and saw Killian get tense I took his hand and my hand started shaking. He looked towards the door and then back at me "It was Neal, he had just gotten out of rehab and he heard that you were waking up so he came so see you" I started shaking when I heard the name Neal and Killian looked at me with a confused look on his face. My head turned slowly to the door because I knew exactly who was that the door.

Neal.

I looked at Neal with a hard look. "Get out Neal!!" I yelled. Neal just stood there not moving. I sat up in my bed and looked to the roof. "I asked you once I don't want to ask you again!!" I yelled louder and Killian jumped up when I said that. Just thinking of Neal being in the same room as me made me nervous. I pulled out the tubes in my arm and stood up taller than I've ever stood around Neal. I looked up at the roof trying time gain my balance and calm my body down. Neal and Killian were just staring at me and doctors were watching us through the windows. I walked over to Neal with a burst of confidence in walked up close to him and got all in his face "I want you to leave Neal" I whispered into his face "No you don't Emma. Your afraid of what happened and you want me to comfort you." He said confidently and then pulled me into to a hug. I squinted when I pulled me into a hug. I tried to shake out of his grasp but I just kept on holding me tighter. I yelled when I touched my hip. I hadn't realized how much it hurt after I fell on the floor from my last visit with my parents. Killian walked up and tried to get Neal to let go but he couldn't. The doctors started rushing in but then I yelled "No I'm okay! I can handle this on my own!" I got my hands on Neal's chest and then I pushed on his chest so hard that he stumbled back and knocked a doctor over. I got closer to him and then yelled "Don't ever come near me again." Then I punched him in the face making his nose bleed. My parents came rushing out if the waiting room when they heard all of the commotion and they were just standing there watching me. I hated how everyone was watching me.

I found a small space were I could squeez through the crowd and get outside and then started running. I took skating so I had lots of leg strength so I was easily fast than most everyone. I ran outside and found a pond were I could watch the swans. They are so beautiful. Killian came running out the door but Neal was ahead of him and almost at me already, if he did anything Killian wouldn't be able to stop him. Neal had enough of me beating him up so he pushed my into the water. When I hit the water my head started pounding. I needed air. I swam up to the ledge and then climbed out of the water just when Killian was showing up. Neal was sitting the not proud that I got out I stood up, my legs shaking I walked up to Neal and caught him by surprise I punched him in the chin the I kneed him in the groin. Killian walked over with a smile on his face. Neal fell to the ground and something fell out of his pocket. A box. With a ring. I picked it up and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring and a note asking me if I would marry him. Tears started welling up in my eyes. I looked at Neal and then at Killian and I just closed the box and walked away. My parents were just coming out the door when they saw me all wet and covered in Neal's blood. They looked over to the pond were Neal was laying unconscious and Killian was just walking behind me. I walked past my parents and up to my room. I closed the door and locked it and closed the blind for the windows were anyone could look into my room. I sat at the table with the paper to sign so I could leave. I was able to do all of the normal activities like skating as long as I wore a helmet wich I did sometimes already. That was okay. Signed the paper and then went into the bathroom and took a shower and got some clothes on. I put some makeup on and took of the bandages. I had scares on my face from being shoot and I had a giant bruise on my nose but other than that my face looked almost normal. I put some shoes on and then went to pack up my stuff. The last thing was the ring. It was beautiful. I would have accepted it if it wasn't for the accident. I put the ring on a chain and slipped it on my neck and and put it over my shirt so everyone could see it and wouldn't ask me why I'm so down. I opened the door and grabbed all the stuff the doctors wanted me to take home and the put much backpack on. I walked to the lobby and noticed Killian with his hands on his face obviously upset and my parents were just walking the opposite way to the cafeteria. My mom had left he purse wich had the keys to their car in it. I walked out the door and the door creaked. I'm guessing Killian has probably seen me walk out so I started to jog to the car, I hopped in and Killian was almost there. I turned on the car and drove away and went quickly to Killian and my house and got my skates and headed to the ice rink. I put on my skates and borrowed a helmet and got on the ice. Everyone was watching me cause they obviously knew who I was. I'm the girl who survived and shoot to the head.

I started going faster and faster and started doing some simple things to get the skill back. Then I dicided to do a jump. I did a few and then some spins then I noticed the door wring open and saw my parents and Killian walk in with tears stained faces. I noticed that my neclase was starting to get in my way so I took it off. I skated over to the side and looked at my parents with a hard face and then grabbed my bag. I looked down at my ring tears starting to fill my eyes and then pain in the chest. I was frozen there "Swan?" I jumped forgetting they were there. I just dropped the ring next to my bag and didn't bother picking it up. I skated out to the middle of the ice just when August was getting in. "Your back early Princessa" he said. I wiped the tears off my face and took his hand I saw Killian picking up the ring and showing my parents. All of them had hard looks on their faces. August and I started doing some simple tricks. But my heart was aching. I looked up at August and he knew that I needed to get off the ice. He started skating the the main exit of the rink but I skated to the opposite door. I got off and took off the helmet and my skates. I walked over to Emila the girl I taught lessons who had just shown up. She was a girl from the orphanage that I helped at. She jumped up into my arms and I picked her up and she hugged me. "Do you want to skate Emila?" I asked her. "Yes Emma! Yes I do" I smiled and set her down. She put on her skates and skated out to the middle of the ice I dicided if I wanted to help her get better I needed to get my skates on so I put my skates back on but didn't bother with the helmet and skated out on the ice. Killian was watching me making sure I didn't fall. I showed Emila some tricks and she did them perfectly. "Your getting so good Emi" I said to her and smiled she laughed. "Thanks you Emma. Can you show me some hard tricks?" I looked at her nervously and then shook my head yes. She skated out of the way and I started with something simple and then did something bigger. I only had mastered it just before my accident so I hope that this goes well. My dad went out onto the ice when he saw what I was going to to. He held out his hand and I took it, he smiled at me and then nodded. Just started it the position and then went for it way dad waiting for me at the other end of the ice. I nailed it and then I was skating when my heart started racing slowed down and looked down and my feet.

"Wow Emma that was amazing! I need to go." Emila said and then she skated off. I started skating faster and then hit a hard stop. I tripped a bit but then caught my balance. I could see Killian getting nervous. I skated faster and then hit a hard stop just to make him more nervous but it went bad. I flew across the ice but then caught control of my body and then landed it with a big spin and lifted my foot to my head and span faster. I brought my foot out and brought my head to the ice then ended the spin. I got up and noticed a camera and news people. I smiled. I looked at the ice and realized I was probably the biggest thing on the news with me getting out of the hospital. I skated around and just practiced my skating. I looked at Killian and saw him looking at my bag were the ring was. He looked really happy and sad at the same time. My heart started hurting alot and I felt like I was about to break but I could do that in TV. I skated over to exit of the rink and picket up my bag and shoes and sat down on the chairs and got my shoes on. I put my bag on and just stared at the ring in my hands. My fist bunched up and tears started to form in my eyes but I didn't let them fall. I stood up and realized Killian was standing behind me. I turned and looked into his eyes and then walked out of the stadium were the rink was. The house was really close so I just dicided to walk. I saw Killian get in his car with my parents and they drove to the house. By this point tears were blocking my vision so I couldn't really see so I can just let them fall. I didn't care I'd anyone saw anymore. Killian and my parents got out of the car and my parents went inside but Killian came running to me. I didn't want to be outside anymore so I just grabbed his hand and rested my head on his shoulder. He let go of my hand put his arm around my back and we walked back to the house. I was still holding the ring tight when I opened my hand it was bleeding. Killian cleaned it up and then I went to my room. My parent were now staying in the guest room so I could have my room back. When I walked in my room it was full of pictures of me and Neal. I screamed and backed up to the wall. Killian came rushing up the stairs and he pulled my into a hug. I felt safe in his arms and he relaxed. I sighed. I let go and walked around my room ripping off the pictures and put the in and pile on my desk so I would know to shred them in the shredder later. I cleaned up my room making it look nice and then noticed that a Killian was still watching me. I laughed and the sighed. "Killian you don't need to stay. I will be okay" I said quietly. I didn't really want him to leave but I couldn't just let him stay. "Are you sure Swan?" He asked. I laughed nervously and then said "no" he laughed. I have been feeling differently about Killian for even before the shooting but I didn't want to admit it, I knew Killian has been having those feelings for a long time. But I don't think I can just move on from Neal that fast.
