Ok ok so we officially hit 1.1k and I'm excited to see where this book goes, thank you so much everyone who's supported and read this far you guys are the bestttt!!!

"Police put your hands up!"
John looked up at them still having a mischievous grin plastered on his face. Alex looked at them and pointed at John on the leg of the bed.
"Abusive ex boyfriend came in and tried to kill her."
One of the officers walked up to Alex and spoke to her, 3 other officers went up to John and untied him and arrested him for rape, assault and battery, and attempted murder. The paramedics came a couple minutes after and loaded Emily unto the stretcher.
"Sir can I go with Emily please? I saved her life. It would mean the world if I could ride with her."
The cop hugged Alex tightly and nodded.
"You're a real hero Alex. She could've died but you saved her, and Yes you can go with her. I'll send cops with you too so when you arrive they can continue to ask you questions about what happened and they'll ask her too."
"Oh umm... about that... I asked her already and she doesn't remember. Right when John choked her she passed out, and when she woke up she didn't remember what happened."
"It'll be ok. We'll see if we can jog her memory so she tells us what happened and what he did."
"Ok thank god."
Alex walked into the ambulance truck and sat next to a medical first responder and looked at Emily as she laid there confused. The medical responder was giving her oxygen and he started to ask her questions.
"Do you know your name?"
She looked at him, then at me with a hurt and confused look.
"Y-Yes."
"What is it?"
"Emily."
"Ok Emily, do you what happened?"
"N-no sir."
"Do you know how You got these cuts?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know when was the last time you saw John?"
"Wait..."
Emily stared at the medical responder and freaked out.
"T-today."
"Now do you remember what happened?"
"H-he came I-inside the house... I-I heard a k-knock and I o-opened it and he a-attacked me."
"Mm ok for now just keep breathing and don't focus on the pain. The doctors are gonna patch up every one of theses cuts and cops will lock John up. For now just tell me your age Emily."
"23..."
"When were you born?"
"January 25."
"Year?"
"1996."
The medical responder kept trying to get her to stay awake and Emily caught a glimpse of Alex.
"Alex?"
Alex took a hold of Emily's left hand with tears in her eyes and smiled at her.
"yes baby?"
"I love you. Thank you for saving me."
Alex held her hand up to her lips and kissed her hand over and over.
"I love you too. I'm glad I came just in time."
Alex leaned in closer and kissed Emily, enjoying the taste of warm lips. The paramedics coughed and cleared their throats, causing Alex and Emily to pull away. But for Emily, the pain went away around Alex.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while they arrived to the hospital Alex walked out first along with one of the paramedics and he held the end of the stretcher, while the other paramedic held the other side. Once they had the stretcher out of the car they rolled her inside into one of them rooms. Emily wasn't in much pain after she saw Alex in the car with her, but the doctors gave her anesthesia anyway to stitch up to open cuts and after they finished they cleaned the blood off of her. Alex stayed in the room with her the entire time, in the far end of the room while the doctors worked on her, hooking her up to an IV and took a blood sample to test whether she had an STD from John, which ended up negative.

Alex took out her phone and saw the messages Rachael sent, 6 messages to be exact.
Rachael: ok I'll see you there.
Rachael: are you ok? Is everything ok?
Rachael: Alex?
Rachael: did you make home?
Rachael: Alex where are you?
Rachael: Alex? No one is home.

Alex called her and Rachael picked up quickly.
"Alex?"
Her voice sounded like she had been crying.
"Yes it's me."
"Oh my god I was so worried. What happened? There's blood all over the bed."
"Yeah it's Emily's blood."
"Why what happened?"
"Umm John... he attacked her again... I don't know how, but he's in jail and Emily is in the hospital where we work at. I was wondering if you would swing by?"
"Of course Alex. I'm on my way. I'll take an Uber."
She hang up the phone and walked towards Emily, who was lying on the bed sleeping.
"I love you so much Emily. I hate John for what he did to you."
Alex whispered as she grabbed her hand and kissed it. Tears weld up in her eyes and she rested her head near Emily's body, on the bed and fell asleep.
