Emma drove along the same road she always did, every single day, it was almost too obvious to her. Which was good considering her mind hardly focused on what she was doing, all she could think about was Will. How she had been a fool to believe that he was going to keep on fighting for her, keep on telling her that he loved her. Why would he? She had been perfectly clear to him that she was seeing someone else...but he had kissed her, after all that was said and now, now he was leaving Lima and going to New York, without her.
The tears continued to run down her cold cheeks as she turned into her street, the road was quiet and peaceful which was always the case. Emma lived in a very quiet part of town, there were just a few houses along her street where a few small families lived. She sighed deeply as she drove closer to her house, her vision not assisting her all that well when she noticed a car parked outside. She tried her hardest to focus on the car when she noticed that it was Wills car, he was there...but why? Those silly hopes she held came flooding back to her as she drove closer and pulled her car up beside him...
...Switching her engine off, Emma smiled over as Will stepped out of his car and hurried over to hers. His eyes were red and it was apparent that he had also spent the entire journey crying, much like she had done. Slowly he opened her door and crouched down beside the car, shaking his head a little as he gazed into her eyes. "Emma...I don't want things to end like this, I was an idiot to believe that I could just run off to New York and leave you behind". He took deep breaths as he spoke, Emma could barely breathe. She kept holding her breath, waiting for him to get all his words out before she blurted her own out and possibly made more of a fool of herself. "I was trying to escape this feeling, escape you and how much I need you but I can barely drive home without you". He placed his hand on her cheek and brushed his thumb over her skin "running away isn't going to stop me from wanting you, from needing you...Emma you are the only woman I love and could ever love. I need to have you with me, if I go to New York or not...either way, I can't go on without you". Emma felt her stomach flutter slightly, the butterflies swarming around inside as she leant towards him and pressed her lips against his "I am yours, I always have been and I always will be". A grin started to play on both of their lips as Will pulled back "thank you" he muttered before standing up and walking towards his car "where are you going?" Emma stepped out as he slipped into his car and started the engine "Will? Where are you..." he drove away, Emma ran out into the road, shaking her head in confusion "Will...Will!"...
Emmas eyes fluttered open slightly "Will..." her breath was deep and slow as she tried to focus on her surroundings. "Emma...Emma" she could hear someone calling her name but couldn't understand where it was coming from. "Will...please" she could feel tears running down her cheek as a hand reached over and brushed them away "I am here" she smiled a little and focused more on the figure hovering over her "you're here...I thought you left me...I was" it was only at that moment she noticed who was hovering over her, it wasn't Will it was Carl, her boyfriend. "Carl?" she attempted to sit up "no Emma, stay still..." he held her down with a little force but nothing that could harm her "What happened? Where am I?" her heart began to race again as the panic flooded though her body "you were in an accident, I couldn't stop you" he began to explain to her "I was waiting for you outside your home and saw you coming, you looked right at me but didn't stop...you drove right into the back of my car". Emma shook her head, she had been so sure it was Wills car "you must have banged your head on the steering wheel as you were out cold when I ran over...I was so worried about you".
Her eyes began to focus more when she realised where she was, in a hospital bed. She glanced up to Carl, the man she had almost completely forgotten for the past few hours. "I don't know what came over me, I was being such a fool" she wept a little as Carl leant down and kissed her forehead "no, you must have had a lot on your mind but you need to rest now" he lingered above her, his lips on her forehead "I called that Will guy, left a message on his voice mail" he sighed, it was obvious that Carl felt a little threatened by this man who Emma had been mentioning in her slight unconscious state.
"You didn't have to call him, he has enough to deal with" she sighed, knowing that he would be preparing to leave for New York and that he didn't want her any more. "Well, you kept saying his name so I figured he must be quite important to you" Carl placed a brave smile on his face "I have to get back to the surgery but I will come back later, I love you" he muttered as Emma simply smiled to him, playing on her current state to avoid having to say those words back to him. She didn't love him, she couldn't love him. Not while she was in love with Will.
Emma watched him leave, tears slowly beginning to emerge from her eyes once more as she turned on to her side and curled up in a ball. This was the worse day of her life and it didn't seem like it was going to get any better.
