Chapter 1 – Falling
Emily and Nikolas walked hand in hand into the Quartermaine house. Emily was very nervous about telling here family this secret she had. Nikolas saw this and kissed her, hoping that it would help. It definitely did.
Then Edward came out of the living room and was arguing with Alan about Jason. Edward stopped and saw Nikolas and Emily holding hands. Alan saw it too.
"Emily, what are you doing here," Alan said, "I thought you were going to stay at Lucky's".
"I was but I forgot…" Emily stuttered.
"Its okay, Em," Nikolas whispered in Emily's ear, "Go ahead".
Emily nodded to Nikolas.
"It's just that I forgot to tell the family something. Is the family around?" Emily questioned.
"Everyone is in the den, dear", Edward answered.
Emily and Nikolas started heading towards the den with Edward and Alan following.
When they entered, everyone was arguing about Luke and Tracy.
Emily was trying to talk above everyone, but when everyone was really screaming, she almost fainted. She fell into Nikolas' arms and then passed out.
Monica, Alan, Edward and Ned saw Nikolas putting Emily on the ground.
Monica yelled over everyone, "Stop right now. Emily has fainted."
"Monica, you have to help. She was fine in the car and when you people were screaming, she fainted", Nikolas said, worried.
"She going to be fine, Nikolas," Alan comforted, "let's go outside and let Monica help her."
"Okay", Nikolas answered.
Nikolas kissed Emily on the forehead, eyes, noses, cheeks, jaw and then her lips.
Nikolas, Alan and the whole family went outside to wait.
Nikolas was so worried that he was pacing around Lila's garden.
Ned said, "Nikolas, she is going to be all right".
Nikolas was going to say something but was interrupted by Monica walking out the door.
"Is she okay," asked Nikolas.
"She is awake…" Monica started.
"But…" Nikolas asked worried.
"The hospital is going to have to run some tests. I'm very worried though," Monica ended.
"Well, we should get her to the hospital as soon as possible," Dillon stated.
"I called an ambulance. It should be coming very soon," Monica said.
"OK, can I go see her?" Nikolas questioned.
"Yes, of course," Monica replied, "Just be careful".
"Always," Nikolas told Monica.
Nikolas walked in very quickly and quietly.
"Hey", Emily said weakly.
"Hey", Nikolas started, "how are you feeling?"
"I don't know. How do I look?" Emily questioned.
"Like an angel", Nikolas answered.
"Maybe an angel in hell", Emily laughed.
Nikolas started laughing too and said in between laughs "Never".
Just as Emily finished laughing she started coughing rapidly.
Nikolas stopped laughing and ran to Emily and helped her drink some water. Her coughing stop and she started relaxing.
"It's okay", Nikolas comforted, "Just relax".
As soon as Emily relaxed, the paramedics came in and pack Emily up and took her to the hospital.
"Did they take her to the hospital already?" Monica asked as she walked in.
"Yah, they did", Nikolas started, "I just hope she is going to be alright".
