Right In Front Of Me...

Chapter 69

I sat in the hospital waiting room, just hoping for good news about my dad. I could tell my mum's heart was breaking. I was just hoping I wouldn't lose my dad.
The doctor walked out of my dads room and approached me and my mum.
"How is he?!" My Mum desperately asked.
"He's... absolutely fine!" He revealed. Me and Mum let out a sigh of relief. "We will keep him overnight, but tomorrow he should be allowed out" he told us.
"Can we see him??" I asked.
"Of course" the doctor said opening the door up for me.

I sat beside my dad for 2 hours, but I couldn't help but yawn.
"Emily,go home. You look exhausted and I'm fine here" my dad said.
"I don't want to leave you alone" I said.
"Your mum's here, plus you should take this time to sort things out with Sal" he told me.
"How do you-" I began until I looked at my mum who shrugged her shoulders.
"Please, sort things out with him...for me" he told me.
"Fine. Ring me if anything happens" I asked my dad.
"Of course. Goodnight sweetie" my dad said to me, as he kissed my forehead.

I went to get my car, until I realised Sal had taken me here- and took the car home. So I began walking. Around 45 minutes later I arrived home. I unlocked the door, and saw no lights on, except the living room and one upstairs. It was very quiet. I checked downstairs and no one was there, so I walked up stairs and saw Sal creeping out of Scarlett's room. He walked straight pass me and went downstairs. I rolled my eyes then followed him. I had no idea what to say.
"Have you just put her down?" I asked him. He ignored me. "I have news on my dad" I said to him.
"What is it? Is he okay?" Sal asked, breaking his silence.
"He's completely fine" I said with a smile. He nodded then walked past me again
"Sal-" I began until I noticed a blanket on the sofa. "What are you doing?" I asked him.
"Sleeping on the sofa" he told me.
"Why? Look, I was going to say I'm sorry" I said to him.
"Just go Emily" he said to me. Now I knew he was angry. He never calls me Emily, he would always call me Emily, ever since we were kids.
"Sal" I began. He turned to face the opposite way and ignored me. "I love you.." I said awaiting his response.
"Night" he said coldly to me. I sighed and walked up to bed. I quickly checked up on Scarlett then went into my room. I closed the door behind me and got changed into my pyjamas. I just wished I never argued with Sal. We haven't been in a huge argument and I knew he was very annoyed at me but I just ran out of ways to say sorry. I just didn't have the energy anymore. I just began to cry. I just wanted to have Sal hold me in his arms and tell me that everything would be okay- but I messed things up with him too. I let the tears stream down my face, as I cried uncontrollably.

Sal's POV
I was mad with Emily. It wasn't anything she had said.... it was actually because she was right. I totally forgot to ring her, and I felt awful for how I had treated her. I checked my phone and saw I was low on battery. I sneaked upstairs to fetch my charger from my room. I placed my hand on the door knob but before I opened it I heard Emily crying. I felt my heart breaking...
