A chance of love (casualty)

11

Emily sat in the living room, she sat with the blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She couldn't sleep, every time that she closed her eyes. All she could see was Cal lying there, his blood on her hands and she would remember just how much she failed him, her best friend. She had promised him that she would save him, and she didn't. She failed, as a doctor, and as a friend. Cal was dead because of her. Emily wiped away the tears from her eyes and glanced to the clock, it was five in the morning. She hadn't slept in days and Iain was getting worried about her. He knew that she was blaming herself. Iain walked into the loving room to see Emily sitting starring into place. She was wearing his top and he hated how isolated that she had become. Iain walked over and sat next to Emily on the settee "hey?" he said and she looked at him with her tear stained face and he smiled to her as he wrapped his arm over her shoulder "i failed Iain, its my fault hes dead, if I were a better doctor then..." "no, don't go there em, you are an amazing doctor and you know it, Cal's death isn't your fault babe,i promise you that" Iain said as Emily sobbed. Iain placed an arm around Emily and pulled her close to him  "im here, no matter what" Iain said and Emily smiled, she was glad he was there for her, Even if she had been acting like a bitch and pushing him away lately, She knew he loved her ad it was the only thing getting her through the day.

Iain watched as Emily had finally gotten to sleep, he knew just how exhausted that she was. Iain smiled as he wrapped a blanket over her and kissed her forehead, he brushed her hair out of her face and smiled to her "don't worry babe, im not going anywhere" Iain said as he grabbed his phone off of the side. "hi, Connie its me" Iain said as he rang Connie, Connie had become concerned over Emily the past few weeks. They weren't as close as they use to be but Emily was still her daughter and Cal's death had effected her badly "she's finally getting some sleep, I don't think that its a good idea for her to come to work, she's only slept for the first time in a week. Im concerned about her.....yeah, ill keep an eye on her" Iain said down the phone. He stood watching as Emily slept "ill let you know how she is, ill speak to you later" Iain said as he hung up. He looked to Emily and sighed, he didn't know how to be there for her, especially when all she seemed to do was push him away, but he knew he wouldn't let her do that. She needed him more than anything, especially right now.

"Iain?" Emily called as she woke up. Iain walked from the kitchen into the living room "im here" Iain said as he sat next to her. Emily sighed n relief "i thought that I lose you too" she said as a tear fell down her face. Iain smiled to her and sat next to her, he wiped the tear away from her face "no, never....im here and im not going anywhere" Iain said as he kissed her forehead and she rested her head under his chin " I love you" Emily said "i love you too" Iain said, he would be there for Emily, every step of the way.
