Paige was overwhelmed with feelings. She was trying to process all that had happened and was happening, but it was hard to concentrate, with all the medicine she had got. She remembered the sudden pain, the blackness and emptiness. Especially the emptiness. Her parents had been with her, when she had woken up. Yet, even when her parents were there, she still felt empty. Like something was missing. She had fallen asleep, still with a feeling of emptiness. In her dream, the pain returned. Over and over she saw herself getting hit. Like she was standing at the sideline, and there was nothing she could do about it. The nightmare continued, still the same scenario. Then it wasn't her on the bike, it was Emily. Emily was getting hit over and over. Again and again, and there was nothing Paige could do about it.
Suddenly the nightmare had changed, like someone had made it go away. The nightmare turned in to a dream. A dream with Emily. Emily by her side as her girlfriend. They were lying in the forest on a picnic blanket; their fingers laced together, just enjoying each other's company.
When she had opened her eyes, she actually still thought she was dreaming. Emily was sitting by her side. Wait, what? Emily was sitting by her side? Wha… what? And they were holding hands? "Wow" Paige thought, "This has got to be a dream." But it wasn't And Paige was overly happy. She had no idea what to say, but instead of just being quiet, she thought she at least could let a few words out. So, she said all what was on her mind: "Emily."
There were tears in Emily's eyes, when she answered. Finally being here with Paige, and knowing she hadn't gotten fatal injuries made Emily so happy. But the fact, that she had hurt Paige, made her feel worse than awful. "I… I… I'm, I'm so so sorry Paige… I'm…" Emily broke into tears. So did Paige. "They made me do it. -A. They threatened your life Paige. They said they'd kill you. I'm so sorry." They both cried pretty hard know. Paige felt both happy and sad. Happy 'cause Emily had just given her a reason for the breakup, which didn't involve in Paige being a bad girlfriend, and because Emily was finally sitting by her side again. Sad because they'd never get the time they hadn't been together back. "It's alright Em. We'll find a way, we'll come through with this, together… If. If you want to?" Paige said with a shaky voice. "Of cause I want to Paige. You're everything I have thought about the last year or so. All I want is you." And even though it sounded extremely cliché, it was true. All Emily wanted was Paige, and all Paige wanted was Emily. Neither of them had noticed their heads getting closer and closer to one another. But when their lips finally met in a passion filled kiss, it all felt like home. "Finally" they both thought, when the kiss broke; their foreheads against each others.
When Ann and Nick later came into the room, both Emily and Paige were sleeping, Emily cuddled into Paige good side. The parents smiled at each other, and went out to the cafeteria again. 'Cause even though Paige was becoming another person than they had expected, they wasn't disappointed at all. Especially Ann was happy for Paige. She had seen, how hurt she had been and how she had seemed to "not live" and smile like she had used to, when she was with Emily. But seeing her daughter and Emily, lying there side by side and each with a little smile on their face, Ann felt better then she had done in weeks.
