The other Belmont twin + [Jake Fitzgerald]

Nancy hadn't woken up, she remembered everything he did to her, every knife slash, every indentation, every touch. The repressed memories of Steve Harrington's death came flooding back to her, the feeling of burning flesh came back to her, Riley's Death, Nina's death. Everything hit her like a ton of bricks.

"How are you doing Jake. You haven't left her side.."

Her head was filled of void. Emptiness as she listened to the chatter from beside her bed. She screamed loudly for them to save her but they couldn't hear her. He was there standing in her subconscious mind taunting her, dead or alive he would control the mind of Nancy Belmont.

"I can't leave her Em. Neither of us will."

She fought for her life in that fire and sure as hell was going to go without a fight. Hospitals were the last place Nancy wanted to be. She wanted to be at home, with her brother Will. Or at school with her best friends Brooke and Emma. With her new friends Audrey and Noah. Or even with her long awaited love, Jake Fitzgerald.

"We're not leaving you Nancy. Fight baby, please"

Jakes voice, the sadness laced in it caused her to scream even louder, trying to break her subconscious slumber. Memories were all that showed, flashbacks of childhood parties and high school sleepovers. Memories were all that remained of Nancy Elizabeth Belmont, playing on a constant loop reminding her of her worsening condition.

"Hey Nance, it's me Will. I know you know who I am - I'm just nervous, I really didn't think I would have this conversation at 18. I just wanted to let you know that I'm here. And I will be okay, if you need to let go you go sis. I don't want you to give up but I know you've been through hell. I will always love you Nancy Elizabeth. Always and forever in my heart."

Tears jerked in Nancy's eyes. Alone she sobbed in the darkness running away from every heart break she felt. But in the real world her eyes began to release real tears from her lifeless body. Signalling to Will that she had heard him, and that she wasn't giving up without a fight.

Days had passed since Nancy was in the hospital. She heard every word spoken to her. Every word spoken near her. Since leaving she had been given an abundance of gifts, hugs and cards. She kept each and every one close to her heart. Will and Jake were there for her every need, taking shifts during the night to make sure she slept.

"Boys please, I am fine to sleep without a body guard"

"Nancy we are not letting anything happen to you."
