Emily pov

When i got to floor 3 I quickly opened the door and start to search for room 201, "220, 219, 218" I wispere to myself, "203, 202 and 201" I stand infront of the door and take a deep breath, I put my hand on the doornob and slowly opened the door. "Damon?" I say softly as I walk into the room.

I look around and see damon sitting on the bed with closed eyes and earphones. I walk to him and snatch the earpones out of his ears and hug him really tight, "WHO ARE YOUU" He shouts and pushes me away,then he looks at me in shock "OMG, EMMYY" he pulls me back in and hugs me really tight just like I do. "I missed you so much" I wispere and start to tear up. "you have no idea how much I missed you emmy" He says and hugs me even tighter, then there's a knock on the door but we don't break our hug, i hear the door fly open and someone run inside. "Damon, you little shit gave me a fucking heart attack, man stop getting hurt or missing" Yep..it's hanna. Damon breakes the hug and hanna hugs him, I look around and see mum standing there waiting to hug him, "Hey, han, could you let mum hug him?" I ask and she quickly pulls away and let mum hug him. "My baby" My mum cries into his shoulder and he hugs her like his life depens on it. "I never gave up, I called everyday to see if they found you." She says and it's the first time I see damon cry into my mums shoulder, "I know they told me. Mum I love you so much." He says crying really hard.

I take a few steps back and take han with me so they can have their privacy, then I realised that ali isn't here. " Han, were's ali?" I ask , "She is in the hall way, she wanted us to have some privacy and didn't want to interrupt." She says and points to the door.

I walk to mum and damon. "Hey bro?" I ask and he looks up at me without breaking the hug with my mum and looks deep in my eyes. Now everything hits me, He was shot and missing for 2 weeks after he was in a fight. Everytime I close my eyes I see him sitting with his back on a broken wall bleeding out of his stomack, breating heavy and fighting for his life. I feel tears coming, "I love you so much, I'm so happy that you're alive." I say and my mum breakes the hug with him and let me hug him again, "I love you more, and I said that you won't get rid of me that easly, remember?" He says smiling and I nod. "Ouh, I have something for you because I couldn't sent them to you." he says and breaks the hug and stands up. Now I can see him fully, he needs a stick to walk but he still loos handsome with his brown hair and brown eyes which look exactly like mine.

He walks to a closet and takes out his military jacket. He walks back to me and pulls out many papers. He gives them to me and I look at him confused. "What's this?" I ask and he smiles at me. "My letters, You know the ones that I write you everyday. I still wrote them that I can give them to you." He smiles and I feel tears forming in my eyes again, he was shot and he fought for is life but still wrote me letters, everyday. I look down at them and almost every one of then is really dirty, i open one and read it.

Hey baby sis,

I want to say how proud I am to call you my sister,

you are one of the most important things in my life,

and if I die out here... I want you to know that I love you.

More than anything and anyone.

You're such an beautiful and amazing woman, and I was so lucky to see you grow up. I think about you and mum all the time, and I fight for you two all the time. I can't wait to hold you again and hear your beautiful voice, and to hear what you did all the time I was out here.

I love you

-Damon

I look up at him with my teary eyes and hug him really tight, "I love you so much" I say and he hugs me back like his life depends on it.
