A New Chance

Chapter 14

Pain, that's all that I was feeling, but for some odd reason I couldn't open my eyes. I could hear everything around me. Why couldn't I open my eyes? That's when I hear the doctors talking to someone.

"She broke her arms and legs and aside from that she suffered severe head trauma and we don't know when she will wake up." I gasped, well not physically. They're dumb because I am awake, well I can hear everything but I can't move. "Thank you doctor," I overhear a person say. That's when my heart dropped, I recognized the voice, it was Killian.

"What did they say?" I hear another voice say, it was my grandma. "She broke her arms and legs and aside from that she suffered severe head trauma and they don't know when she will wake up." My heart dropped, my poor grandmother. "Her mom will have a heart attack when she finds out." I wanted to cry because my grandma never cries, and I could hear her sobs.

She holds my hand and kisses it. "You fight baby, you fight and come back to us." I wanted to cry but I couldn't. "I need you, your momma needs you, and Killian needs you." I wanted to smile but couldn't. I could feel her kissing my forehead and then I could hear her steps fading away.

That's when I felt Killian holding my hand. I could hear him wanting to cry but isn't. "Emma please come back, I know we were apart but we finally have a chance to be together and form that family you've always wanted love, please come back to me." Oh God did my heart soar hearing him say that but unfortunately I couldn't answer back.

There was something that was holding me back and not letting me move. I wanted to be with Killian, and now it seems that life is taking away my second chance at happiness. Killian kisses my forehead and leans against it. "I promise I will try my best to be at your side, so you will never be alone." I wanted to hug him, but I couldn't. When will this torture end.

Weeks later
I don't know how much time has gone but I've been feeling weaker and weaker with each passing day. My bones are healing but I'm not waking up and I don't understand why. I mean I feel weak but I feel strong enough to possibly get up and well to wake up.

Doctors are concerned that I'm brain dead but I'm not. How can I be brain dead if I'm still talking. I can breathe on my own I'm just not waking up. Killian fights everyday with them to not give up and find ways to wake me up. He's always here, when he finishes his shift he comes and stays by my side. I've heard Regina several times and brings him food and clothes because he hasn't gone home.

God with each passing day I fall more and more in love with him and everyone knows that he loves me. Even Neal has come to visit me and found out about Killian. I was a bit nervous when I heard his voice but instead he told Killian to cherish me and to love me because I deserved the world.

That's how I knew Neal had really changed and wished the best for me, but sadly all his wishes won't make my body wake up. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to be with Killian but my body didn't want to cooperate with my brain.

Finally I got the strength and I started to move my eyes, even though they were closed. That's when I slightly start to open them. My vision is super blurry but I managed to see Killian's silhouette by the window. He was looking outside as he was drinking coffee. I tried to smile at the sight of him.

My eyes were droopy but they were open. I tried to talk but nothing was coming out, I tried reaching for anything to make a sound but I couldn't move. I grunted ever so slightly and Killian turned around. "Emma!" He screamed and ran to my side. "You're awake." I tried to smile but instead I smiled with my eyes.

He kissed my hand and caressed it. "Oh my love, you're awake." I nodded. "I....mmm ssss...ooorrry." I managed to softly say and Killian smiled. "No love don't apologize." I nodded. He got up and went to get a doctor. The doctor came and checked me. He said all my vitals were good, all I needed was more rest. I already knew that, I just needed by body to catch up.

The doctor left and Killian was alone with me. Killian was smiling super big as tears were rolling down his cheek. I managed to move my hand and I caressed his cheek. He smiled and touched my hand. "Will....yyyooouuu...mmaarrryyy...mmmeee?" Killian gives me a confused look. "What?" I smiled. "You're asking me if I want to marry you?" I nodded. He chuckled. "Love don't worry about that right now, just worry about getting better, but to answer that question I do want to marry you." I smiled.

"Goooddd." He chuckled. "Ok rest up my love, I'm a call your mom and grandma so they know you're awake." I nodded. He got up and I grabbed his hand. He gave me a concerned look. "I...llloovveee...youu." He smiles and gives me another kiss on the forehead. "I love you too." I smiled as I closed my eyes.

Finally it seemed that I was getting my new chance at happiness.
