A little unsteady"

---------------------------------------------------------

Emilia's POV

Pain.

Darkness.

What is going on I know I made a lot of mistakes in my life but this is another level of punishing me. I tried opening my eyes but to no avail I can't something doesn't feel right my head is throbbing and I can't really feel anything but the pain. Then as sleep overtake me again I dreamt again and again of what happened.

Flashback

"glad you fix that up quickly" she said while taking out the pastries and wrapping them up we hear the door being opened and all of us glance at who entered then Joe said

"sorry sir but we are closing the sign is up"

And then we heard gun shots, and all I can feel is pain and then I drop on the floor I heard a horrifying scream I didn't even know if it is Martha who screamed or me everything happened so fast

"Em come on stay with me Martha call an ambulance please oh god" I heard Mark say I can feel him holding my cheek my eyes half closed and I clutched my side and then felt pain on my right shoulder I hissed I heard in the distance the distress voice of Martha talking on the phone

"press hard on the wound Mark to stop the bleeding oh god she's shot twice" Joe said while kneeling beside Mark "Are you okay son?"

"A bullet just grazed me in the leg" I hear Mark hissing and it feels like he only noticed it when he was asked by Joe

"The ambulance will be here any minute, oh dear Mark" I heard Martha said while she is sobbing

I want to say something but I can't form words with my mouth I can't speak all I know is that there is pain everywhere. I gasped and I feel light headed I can feel Joe putting something under my head to support me

"Em can you still hear us please hold on okay" and that is the last thing I heard before I black out

End of flaschback

I can hear beeping sounds in the background did I fell asleep or what I don't even know and again I tried opening my eyes again and once my eyes is opened it's dark making me blink again in the process and I saw my dad on the couch beside my bed sleeping and my mom seated at my side with her hand holding mine and asleep in the process

"mom" I croaked out why is it so hard to speak I tried moving my fingers to wake her up and it did work she sat up and looked at me and when I looked at her it seems like she didn't have enough sleep for a few days there are bags under her eyes her blue eyes is not alive as before

"honey you're awake you got me worried sick, Philip wake up call the nurse please" my mom said while tossing something at dad for him to wake up causing him to jerk up and looking at him he is in the same state as my mom

"oh god what do I do" He said and rushed out of the room I let out a chuckle but then felt pain and groaned

"Careful dear you don't want to laugh just yet how are you feeling?" she asked me while she stood up and stroke my hair

"I'm fine but my throat is burning" I said and gasped again my mom grabbed a bottle of water and put a straw so that I can easily drink I feel like drinking the whole bottle but then a doctor came in and a nurse to check up on me on how am I doing
