Emma's Eyes slowly fluttered Open. She found herself in the hospital. How?, She didn't know. She couldn't have survived that Fall could she? Her head hurt just like her Leg and Hand, they both felt stiff and swollen, there was a bandage around them. The Lights were bright and when Emma looked further down she realized that all the cuts on her Arms were revealed; probably also the ones on her Thighs but the blanket covered them and she wouldn't dare to lift it. "Y-You woke up.", She suddenly heard a voice, As she looked besides herself she saw her little Brother sitting at the Chair next to her Bed, his eyes were puffed red and it looked like he had been crying very much. "What do you mean? What happened? Who knows?", Emma asked as a small Tear left her eye as well. "You were passed out for a few hours...it's already past Midnight....I-I saw you going out of School so I-I followed you after School to ask you about your testimony b-but you didn't go home so I followed y-you....then y-you stopped at that fence and went through it, I-I Followed. A-And then y-you jumped. Why did you jump? Why didn't you climb down again?", He asked with Tears Running down his Cheeks while his Bottom lip trembled a little. The sight broke Emma's heart, she never thought about others. She silently mentioned for her younger brother to get into the Bed next to her and he immediately did as he hugged her tight. "What happened then? How did I get here? Did you call someone?", Emma asked as she fought back the Tears. "I-I looked for a phone but there was none s-so I quickly checked your pulse a-and when I knew you were alive I-I ran back to School as fast as possible, I-I didn't know where else do go a-and it was the closest. I-I ran inside b-but it all was empty a-and then I-I saw a Teacher that just left a-and asked her for help a-and together we ran back while she called the ambulance.", He Explained, each word seemed to get him to cry more thought. "Do Mom And Dad know?", Emma asked crying. She would never want her parents to find out about it. "N-No. I-I Said no Name a-and neither did the Teacher...she's still here and waits outside. I called Mom a-and told her we stayed a-at a Friends place.", Neal Explained And hugged her tighter. She couldn't believe he lied-for Her. He probably knew that whatever happened she wouldn't want her parents to find out. Emma also couldn't understand which Teacher would care enough to stay. Maybe Mrs. Davidson, Emma didn't know her but people said she was nice and would stay long at school. "Can you go and get that Teacher, please?", Emma asked and he nodded and ran off. She always had a good relationship to her brother and it broke her heart that she did this to him. Not even that you can do right. The Voice in her head said and she listened again. She still didn't know how she could survive that-she Thought the Castle was High enough. "Emma...", another Voice filled the Room. Neal mentioned her that he'd wait outside while Emma sat up groaning. "Y-You....I'm so sorry Miss Mills...", Emma Replied And started to cry; she didn't know why but she couldn't hold it back anymore. It just took a few seconds until she felt the Brunettes' soft fingers at her Chin as she wiped away her Tears. "You don't have to apologize Emma, why did you never say something?", The Brunette asked as she sat down at Emma's Bed while her brown orbs carefully gazed to the Cuts on Emma's Arms. "I-I didn't want to beg for help....How can my parents not know about it? How can I be alive?...why did you stay?....aren't you mad at me for...before..?", Emma asked as New Tears ran down her Cheeks. "I'm not mad at you Emma, and I think we should discuss that a little later. You survived because it...the doctor said it wasn't high enough and you fell in an ankle that might have saved your Life and saved you from any more serious injuries. They said you have a sprained Leg and your Wrist is bruised badly because of some stone. Your Brother called your Parents and told them you would be at a friends place, then he called again and said you would stay over there. I figured you don't want them to know just yet since he never mentioned your surname so I said you were my Sister's Daughter..", The Brunette Explained as a some Tears left her eyes as well. 'Why is she crying? Does she care? She wouldn't...nobody cares', Emma Thought and before she thought more she reached out and wiped away her Teachers' Tears. "Thank you...do you happen to know when I can leave?", Emma asked, even thought the Tears were wiped away her Hand still stayed at Miss Mills' Cheek. She didn't know why; it just felt right. "They have to do a few more checks but in two hours or so you can leave I think....since Your Brother Said you'd stay at a friends...would you want to stay at my Place? I know this is pretty inappropriate but I'm pretty sure you'd rather tell your parents personally than them finding it out like this..", The Brunette suggested and Emma quickly agreed. She couldn't believe that actually happened!
