"When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go" - Ed Sheeran
Emma's POV
"Is she waking up?" A woman's voice asked. Where did she come from?
"I don't think so." A male voice said. Who was this? I needed to think, this voice sounded so familiar to me, how could I not remember?
"How is the fever doing?" Another one asked. Was that George or Reece? Blake? It had to be one of them.
"Better... I think she's gonna feel better very soon." The woman said and I could feel her hand on my sweaty forehead.
"Are you sure we don't need to take her to hospital?" It was Blake. Blake! Oh god, it was Blake. He was here.
"I think the worst is over." Was this a nurse? George's mum?
I heard a door close and then there was silence. I didn't want to be alone, where did they go?
I turned around in the bed I was laying in and groaned. I was endlessly tiered. How could somebody be that tired?
"Em?" Somebody asked. I wasn't alone?
I opened my eyes a bit only wide enough to see everything blurred.
Dark hair, tall, Blake.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking down on me in concern.
He stroked my sweaty hair out of my face and I grabbed his wrist and held his hand to my cheek. I don't know why I did this but in this moment it just felt right to me.
He moved closer. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I got hit by a truck." I said and we both chuckled though this was not really funny.
"What day is it?"
"Wednesday. You scared us all pretty much." Blake said and then brushed my collar away to look at the bruises on my jaw. I closed my eyes and moaned.
"Did Amy tell you what happened?" I asked and Blake pressed his lips together and shook his head.
"Will you tell me?" Blake asked and I nodded my head yes.
"Yes, but not right now... All I wanna do right now is sleep and never wake up again." I mumbled and nestled up against the sheets.
"I'll tell the boys that you were awake." Blake said and stood up to go to the lads but I grabbed his hand and held him back. He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes and I tugged at his hand so he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Can you stay here? I'm afraid." I admitted.
"What are you afraid of?" Blake asked and moved closer. I placed my head on his lap and let him stroke my hair while I slowly fell asleep again.
"Everything and nothing." I said and then I drifted into a deep but dreamless sleep.
