Chapter 12: I’m not fine

Emma’s P.O.V

* Fade in *

“Emma!”

“Emma stay with us!”

“We NEED you to stay with us! Please!”

* Fade out *

* Fade in *

“mhhh” I mumbled

“Were almost to the hospital, shhh”

* Fade out *

* Fade in *

“Liam, calm down, its okay”

“NO! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN! ITS NOT OKAY!”

* Fade out *

* Fade in *

“Emma please, please wake up”

* Fade out *

I slowly opened my eyes, the sudden brightness over whelming me.

Ow. I filinched. My head really hurts. I looked around to see where I was. A hospital? I could tell from the window that it was dark outside so it must have been night. Looking around the room I saw four boys sleeping on a couch all huddled together. Four? Why only— Oh. I was in a hospital bed, wrapped tightly by the covers with my bed at a half sitting up, half laying down angle. At my side, sitting in a chair right next to my bed was Liam asleep, holding my hand. Around his eyes was puffy and his cheeks red, from crying?

I pulled my hand free from his tight grasp trying not to wake him. I placed my hand on his cheek

“I’m so sorry Liam” I whispered

“Em?” He softly mumbled

“Hm?”

Liam’s eyes shot open

“Emma!” He stood up from his chair and pulled me into a tight hug causing me to gasp for air

“Oh! Em! I’m sorry!” He pulled back staring into my eyes searching for pain. The worriedness was written all over his face

“I’m fine” I manage to stumble out

“Boys! Boys! Wake up! Emma’s up!” Liam yelled at the boys asleep on the couch. Not leaving my side

“Emma!?!” Louis yelled running over to my side, pulling me into yet another painful hug

“Wow, Lou watch it, shes….” Liam said trying to find the right word to say

“Fragile” I say looking up to him, he gives me a sad smile

“How long was I out?” I asked breaking the tension

“Four days” Liam says without any emotion

I gasped. Four days, I was out for four days! I frantically started to ask myself questions. What about my training? What have the boys been doing? What about Liam? How was he coping with all of this? That question hit me the hardest. Again I looked up to him. I pulled him in to a hug ignoring the sheering pain that was going through my body.

“I’m so so sorry” I whisper practically whimpering as I said it

“I missed you baby” was all he said in reply. And we stayed like that for a little while longer just enjoying each others presence. Until SOMEONE * cough * Louis *cough* decided it would be funny to slap Liam’s but why we were doing this

“Louis!” Liam shrieked chasing him around the room. We were all laughing as the two of them ran around the room crashing into things and making a whole lot of noise, I was surprised no one came into the room yet.. whoops spoke to soon. A doctor stood in the doorway. He cleared his throat and everything went quite. Liam slowly walked over to my bed, took my hand and squeezed it.

“Emma?”

“Yes?”

“How are you feeling?” The doctor asked coming into my room and hovering over me. He tried to push Liam out of the way but Liam stood his ground not letting go of my hand. I made a mental note to thank him later for that

“Um, Okay? I guess, my head hurts though” I answered truthfully. He just nodded his head and scribbled a few things down on his clipboard. The other boys had taken a seat on the sofa. I could feel the tension in the air. The doctor turned around and was about to head out of the room when I stopped him.

“Um, excuse me?”

“Yes?”

“Um…” I stumbled “Wh- When will I be able to swim again?” As I asked him Liam froze and the doctor walked back towards me

“I’m afraid, I’m afraid that I don’t know if you will be able to swim again.” He said sadly. I just sat there. Staring at him as if waiting for him to say ‘just kidding!’ but it never came. I could feel the tears coming to my eyes

“I’m sorry” He said before walking out of the room

“Em—“ Liam took a step forward trying to comfort me. But I put my hand telling him to stop

“I’m- I’m fine” I said holding back the tears but it didn’t work. As they began to pour out of my eyes I pulled my knees to my chest rocking back and forth on the bed

“I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine” I just kept repeating not sure who I was trying to convince more, me or them

Liam’s P.O.V

It hurt. It hurt a lot when she pushed me away.  I hated seeing her like this, so fragile. I wanted to do anything and everything to help her.

I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t watch her and just let her cry. I looked at the boys just standing around her bed not sure what to do. I motioned for them to go out of the room and they did exactly that.

As soon as they left I slowly made my way to Emma’s bed. I took her hand in mine. She was still rocking back and forth silently crying. I climbed onto her bed and pulled her into my chest, she was shaking.

“Shhhh, baby shh, we WILL get through get through this, together.” I whispered in her ear

“Liam?”

“Yes babe?”

“I’m - not - fine” She said in between sobs.

“Shh, don’t say that” I said trying to comfort her, I kissed the top of her head and tried to calm her down. Before I knew it she had cried herself to sleep, in my arms.

I pulled her closer to my body, laying her head on my chest. As I began to drift off her words replayed in my head over and over again. ‘I’m not fine’ ‘I’m not fine’ ‘I’m not fine’ those words haunted me. I decided right then and there I was going to do anything in my power to fix her to make her ‘fine’ again.
