GILINSKY'S P.O.V.

it's been about a week since Emma's attempt. she's been ok, i guess. she has really bad nightmares about the night of the crash, they've gotten less frequent.
me & Jack are working on some new music, so we've been in the studio a lot, today we had to stay kinda late, so i texted Emma.

me~ "hey princess, i have to stay kinda late today, don't wait up, I'll bring you home a surprise💙"
Princess😍👸👑~ "okay bugs, I'll see you...whenever i guess😂"
me~ "alright😂 love you."
Princess~😍👸👑~ "love you too😍"

i could feel my smile get wider when i saw her response, she just makes me so happy.

EMMA'S P.O.V.

it's been about a week.
i feel fine.
i am fine.
i have these awful, vivid nightmares about the crash, they don't happen as much anymore, but when they do, it's kinda bad.
i head downstairs to make some cookies for Jack & me to eat later. i start to bake & put them in the oven. just as i do, my phone buzzes.

bugs☺️~ "hey princess, i have to stay kinda late today, don't wait up, I'll bring you home a surprise💙"
Me~ "okay bugs, I'll see you...whenever i guess😂"
bugs☺️~ "alright😂 love you."
me~ "love you too😍"

i feel my heart drop. i hate when he's not home, but i am so proud of him.

i take out the cookies & put them on a plate, making my way up to Nash's room. i place a slight knock on the door & i hear rustling & whatever he was watching pause.
"hello?" he asks from the other side of the door.
"Nash, it's Emma." i reply.
"come in" i walk in & he flashes me a smile, that kinda fades when he sees I'm upset.
"what's wrong?" he looks me in my eyes.
"nothing! i just wanted to bring you cookies!" i fake smile, pushing the plate of fresh cookies towards him. he takes a few & smiles.
"thanks Emma. you sure you're okay?"
no! i want Jack home.
"yes! I'm fine!" i fake smile before walking out. i decide to go back to my room, with my cookies & lay down.
i pull off my sweatpants, pull on a pair of my volleyball spandex & throw on a Jacob Whitesides shirt. i crawl into bed & reach for my remote, when a knock comes from my door. i hop out of bed & open the door.
"hey Cam" i smile
"hey sista, what's up?"
"nothing, Jacks gonna be late today."
"late? it's already 12:30{am} Emma." he doesn't mean anything when he says that, i know he doesn't. he's just throwing it out there.
"i know. but, I'm tired...I'm going to bed..." i trail off.
"can i sleep with you Emma?" i thought he'd never ask!
"what about Audrey?"
"she's with friends." i nod & he enters.

i plop into bed & Cameron takes his shirt off, this would be weird for normal siblings, but we aren't normal. he lays down beside me, I'm facing away from him, he wraps his arms around my ribcage.
"goodnight sissy." he whispers
"goodnight bubba." i reply & we both fall asleep.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. NO WAY DUDE!" i hear a familiar voice yell. i get out of bed & see my bestfriend.
"Taylor!" i screech & run towards him, engulfing him in a hug.
"hi, love! how've you been?" he asks, pulling away from the hug.
"good! I've been better since i 'died' & you know when we had our talk?" i reply

*|Flashback|*

"Emma..." Taylor called out for me
"hi Taylor."
"you shouldn't be here." he seems upset when he says that.
"yes, i should tay, I've missed you so much & now, i can be with you...aren't you happy...?" i asked.
"no Emma! I'm not happy! you shouldn't be dead! Emma...listen, you need to move on. I'm dead, one day you'll join me. not now. live your life. start your singing career, act, model. get married, have kids. grow old with your husband. live, Emma. please. I'll be watching you from above. it won't be easy, but you'll move on. i promise." Taylor gushed, i just stood there. he was right.
"well, now it's too late." i said, letting a few tears escape my eyes.
"no, it's not. you have a chance. fight, Emma. fight!"
"i love you so much Taylor." was the last thing i told him.
"i love you too." he replied. as i was coming back to life his words "fight, Emma. fight!" rang in my head.
i open my eyes.
"h-Hayes...?"
