Kieran had been let off in a police car having been revealed ad Piper's accomplice and secret lover.
Emma was in shock as Audrey had her arm around her best friend as they both sat in the back of an ambulance "I'm so sorry Em i can't believe he could do this. I swear i had no idea Kieran was involved or that he was Piper's lover. If i had known i'd have told you" Audrey said.
Emma believed her "I know you are telling the truth Audrey. I can't believe i shot and killed Eli when he was trying to to help."
"To be fair Em he was suspicious and Kieran planted those letters of mine under Eli's bed to make him look guilty. You were not at fault Em. It's my fault all this started,if i had not bought Piper here" Audrey said placing her head in her hands.
"But Kieran would have anyway Audrey. I was so so wrong about Eli. I should have trusted him" Emma said feeling guilty.
"All we can do is move on Em. Put this all behind us. The lakewood slashers are no more" Audrey stated.
"Maybe me and my mum should just move away. There's too much crap here" Emma then replied.
Audrey did not want her to go "Please don't go Em. You're my best friend".
Suddenly they heard shouts "We have a live one here" shouted a paramedic bringing someone out on a stretcher.
Emma and Audrey got out of the back of the ambulance curious to know who it was. Could it be... Eli.
Emma ran from Audrey and saw Eli on a stretcher with a mask over his mask. "OMG Eli you're alive".
"Emm..." He weakly said.
"I'm coming with you to the hospital" Emma said following him. Eli was loaded into an ambulance and Emma said farewell to Audrey.
"Tell him good luck from me" Audrey said hugging Emma.
"Thanks Audrey" Emma said with a brief smile.
Emma climbed into the back of the ambulance with Eli. She gently took his hand "I'm right here Eli".
Eli gave her a small smile.
They arrived at the hospital where Eli was rushed into surgery. It was touch and go. Emma waited in the waiting room for news. She was anxious and hoping he'd be ok and that she could say how deeply sorry she was for not trusting him.
Three hours passed when finally a doctor came out with a smile "Eli is asking after you Emma".
Her face lit up "How is he?" Emma asked nervously.
"The bullets luckily missed anywhere important. He had some blood loss but he's all fixed up now and awake" The doctor informed Emma.
Emma walked into Eli's room and sat down on a chair near his bed "Hi Eli how are you?".
"Hey Em i'm not too bad. It'll take a lot more than a few bullets to knock me down" he chuckled lightly.
"I'm so sorry for everything,for not trusting you and for shooting you" She said a tear running down her face.
He gently touched her hand and said "I forgive you Em. I know how much you loved my cousin and i'm so sorry he betrayed you like he did".
"I'll be alright Eli" Emma smiled.
"I like you Em. I have done since i got here. You're beautiful and you're strong. When i get out of here would you like to go on a date with me?" Eli asked.
"I'd love nothing more" Emma smiled.
A/O So should i continue and turn this into a full story or leave it as a one shot?
