HIDDEN FEELINGS

chapter 17

Emily slowly opened Aaron's room door to reveal the that room was covered in peach darkness un able to see anything Emily walked carefully while holding to the walls for support so as not fall or trip over  something she couldn't seen  using her sense touch  Emily tirelessly  searches   for the  light switch it takes a little more time than she anticipated finally switching on light  the fluorescent light came on and immediately eliminated the darkness in its path     ,  finally being able to see Emily's eyes   drawn  the room ,  and she quickly notices that  the room  is of medium size with blue painted walls with a white clieng in its center was circular fluorescent which was currently  lighting up the room ,   Emily broke down and starts crying profusely when eyes come in contact with Aaron and she could see  all damage she had  caused Aaron making her feel she was horrible person  shaken up  she slowly  walks over to Aaron's hospital bed  Emily was not prepared  for what happened next and was  totally shattered by  it,

Aaron lay there un conscious with oxygen mask he lay like lifelessly on his bed like deflated balloon, due to high loss of blood as result of deep cut caused by the shattered mirror pecies his right hand had cannular that was connected to blood drip with green eyes closed shut  like coma induced  patient , with his pale  and his lips dry purple circles   under his eyes   he had never looked  so sick like he was  the rest of his body was a donned in a blue hospital gown covered in bedding.

Emily couldn't believe her eyes and she just broke down completely because she knew it was because of her that her friend was in this state and she had no one to blame but herself crying and regret full Emily got up on to her feet and walked to where Aarons bed was , when she got to Aaron's bedside gently took Aaron's left hand into hers and sat down on chair close to him placing gently to Aaron's abdomen Emily began crying salty tears nested into Aaron's hospital gown

"I'm the worst friend ever , who couldn't even come and see you needed me ." she said as tears continued to flow like an endless river cause Emily regretted everything she had done and wanted her best friend

"I promise am going to fix everything and my bloody mistakes l promise you right about Ryan being a back stabber, today I found a Hickey in his neck , but each time I see him and how romantic he can be with our dates I forget and fall again into his viscous cycle of lies and deceit once again I need you Aaron more than bird needs the sky more than fish need water more than need air to breathe Em's is here for you and she is not going any where until you get better Arie, I promise." Emily added as she continued crying into Aaron's gown

Standing where she stood Emily covered her face with a Burka's veil then All of sudden Emily started hearing heavy clapping that startled her the clapping became louder and louder as the un identified person kept trudging closer to where we were standing Emily stood there scared out of her mind as with her eyes wide open she awaited to see who was coming their way and she was ready to protect Aaron against at all costs but she was not about allowing anything happen to her best friend at least not while she still live
As the person got closer and closer to where stood the sound of claps became louder and more porounced and heavier outline of a shadow began to appear as person got even closer

"Who are you ?" a terrified Emily questioned holding up two fists in defence

The shadow became more vivid to her and Emily could see it more clear its a figure of a human being which stood still in front her

A now petrified Emily said again ask. Who are you

The shadow responded by splitting into three forms of itself a scared and panicking Emily prepared herself mentally and braved for worst

As shadow came into the light it returned to its original form of one Emily knew her and Aaron were done for only to realise that three shadows were non other than Michelle , Jason, and Damian who continued clapping louder finally until they were in front of me , gesturing with her hand Michelle stopped the rest from clapping but continued to clap sarcastically until she was face to face with me
