AN: Hey guys
i noticed that there is a big drop my number of views for the previous chapter, chapter 3. Its either a lot of people lost interest or they didn't see that i updated
If you hadnt seen it and you're reading this please read it first otherwise you might get confused for the first part of this chapter
I know i said it would take a few days for me to update but i saw the new promo for Season 4 ep 4 on facebook and i had to get this out so that whatever happened on that episode doesnt change my version of Bay and Emmett, if that makes any sense
Sorry if there are any spelling and grammar errors, i wrote this at 2am
Please read the AN at the end of the chapter
Emmett woke up with the smell of bacon cooking. He looked at his phone, it was 7:30am. When he walked outside he sees Bay in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
She turned around when she heard him come in "Good morning" she greets. He sits across the island while she hands him his breakfast, bacon and eggs. He was reluctant to try it because during high school Bay would never cooked anything, he assumed she didn't know how. When he took his first his bite, he was surprise how delicious it was
"This is good" he complimented "When did learn how to cook"
"Umm, I learned to be independent when I moved here" she said
They ate their breakfast in silence. As soon as they finish, they both knew that his was the time to talk.
"Bay you told me last night there is stuff I don't know about you, what do I need to know?"
"OK, first of all the reason we broke up was not your fault it was mine. I think we jumped into a relationship too fast. When we got together it was a bit rushed. You were vulnerable and I came to comfort you and from then on we started a relationship. You had the title of boyfriend but I never treated like one. I put others above you, like in prom when I dressed in a tux or when I helped Tank with his dad rather than celebrate with you. You were an amazing boyfriend, you even made me a timeline twice, I didn't deserve you. That was probably why I had let you go easily"
Emmett was about to comfort her but she halts him by putting her hand up. "No you need to hear this" she said
"You confided in me with everything, like when you found out you had a brother and the whole Mathew incident. I told you before that WE will figure it out but I was alone with my problems. I hid things from you. Do you remember when I went to Chicago, after Angelo died, to talk to my cousin?" she asked
"Yeah, you told me that he tried to scheme money off you"
"He also told me I had an aunt, Angelo's sister, Francesca, wait a second"
She goes to the living and open the box that says Angelo, she pulls out the picture and hands it to Emmett.
"She's pretty she looks like you" he comments "Do you know where she is?"
"No, she died a long time ago from an aneurysm; it was also what killed Angelo"
Emmett was confused, he was there at the hospital. The doctor never said anything about an aneurysm.
"But I thought that Angelo died from a car crash"
"Yes and no, he had an aneurysm then he swerved and hit a tree"
"So if your dad had an aneurysm and your aunt had one that means…"
"I have the genetic disposition to develop an aneurysm" she finished his sentence
Emmett was about to say something but she stops him again by putting up her hand up
"When I went to that party five years ago, you thought that I cheated on you but I didn't. the next morning after I woke up that in that guys bed, I went to the clinic and got a rape kit test done, results wouldn't come out after a week, so the night we were broken up I still didn't know the results"
"Why didn't you tell me this" Emmett was starting to get angry, she knew that she didn't have sex with that guy. If she had told him this, it would answer the speculation he had. They might've been together in his second year in college.
"I didn't tell you because you said that you were the lowest in my priority list, dating long distance wasn't working for us and you were interested in someone else. I wasn't treating you right and you deserved better."
Emmett was about to argue back but Bay halts him again
"Please you need to hear this. When the results came back negative, I was relieved that I can put that stuff behind me. But Katherine found the results in my room and made me tell her the whole story, the party, the rape test and our breakup. She told John and he started to look into it. It turns out in there was CCTV footage in the hallway of where the guy lived. I was drunk, so drunk that I tripped and fell down twice. Since was coerced into his room John said I should press charges. But I couldn't, apparently that guy had pictures of me; I didn't have you so we couldn't plan a heist. He told me that If I press charges he send those photos to campus and the internet.
"So my life sucked then, my parents were angry at me for not pressing charges and I couldn't tell them that i was being blackmailed, I was still heartbroken about you, I was worried about my future since I was labelled as a criminal, mad about everyone lives changing while my life is still on hold, some guy had picture of me and on top of all that I was paying for a crime I didn't commit. Then a few weeks later I got the news that Daphne quit school. She didn't even tell us, she left a message on Regina's phone saying she quit sorry she disappointed everyone. Regina called her phone but she didn't answer she called some people from her dorm and her roommate said she didn't go to her room'
"John, Katherine and Regina wanted to look for her but when I told them I didn't want to and wanted to be left alone. John yelled at me saying she's my sister and I should help. I was furious, angry at the fact that all they cared about Daphne and couldn't sympathize of what I was going through. I sacrificed everything for her and she threw it all away." Bay was yelling, Emmett could see that she felt really strongly about this. she took a deep breath to calm herself down
"That night when I went to bed, I woke up a huge headache, I couldn't move my neck and I kept throwing up. I was alone in the house because everyone else was looking for Daphne, I thought I was going to die, I remember the light blurring and everything blacked out. Toby found me in the bathroom; he wanted to check on me when he heard about Daphne quitting school. He told me I was passed out; he thought it was a suicide attempt. He drove me to the emergency room, they took me in, did a CT and found that I had blood has leaked into my brain. I had an aneurysm, similar to the one the killed Angelo."
Bay's hands started ache from all the signing. She looked at Emmett and he has tears in his eyes. The picture of Bay in hospital bed fighting for her life was too much for him. He stands up, puts his arms around her and presses her to his chest, wanting reassurance that she's alive and breathing. While still embracing he moves his head so he could whisper in her ear, "I'm sorry, I should've come to you".
She broke their embrace and looked into his eyes, "It's not your fault" she reassures him.
He sits down on his stool he wasn't sure that his legs can still hold him up after picturing that story.
"So what happened after that?"he asked
"They took me the ER, I had to get 3 clippings in my head", she guides his hand towards the side of her head. He feels her scar and softly rubs it.
"The stress and the anger that I was carrying was the cause of it all. I was in a coma for a few weeks, I think at one point I even saw Angelo, telling me to do what I'm passionate about, no matter what anyone tells me. Maybe it was a dream, I don't know, but it's at that moment I knew that I should keep pursuing art. When I woke up I remember seeing my family, even Daphne. I kept looking around the room looking for someone, then I realised that I was looking for you."
Emmett holds her hand assuring here that he's here now and he's not going anywhere.
"After that I let go of my anger. If Daphne didn't want to be a doctor that's her choice, the guy who had my pictures deleted them apparently my dad found out everything when he saw the messages on my phone while I was in a coma, and hired a private investigator to make everything disappear. When my probation officer found out about my aneurysm, I guess she felt sorry for me because she changed my community service, instead picking up trash, I got assigned to building murals for public schools, daycares and playgrounds. So everything worked out in the end"
"What about you, are you happy?"He questions
"Yes, I'm happy. Happy that I get to live a long, healthy and happy life"
Emmett was amazed at the extraordinary person who is standing in front of him. She has been through so much in her teens than people have gone through in their lifetime. She is a beautiful, brave and selfless person. She is the type you only meet once in a lifetime and he was stupid enough to ever let her go.
"Bay I can't believe how strong you are. You have been through so much, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I should've checked on you when I was on break from college, I just didn't want to see you with someone else. I should've come to you"
Bay was about to protest but this time Emmett halts her by putting his hand up
"My turn to speak, besides your hands must hurt by now from all that signing. You always confided in me even when we weren't together, I should've known something happened but I can't change the past. However I can change the future. You, Bay Kennish, are my future. So I want to ask you if you want to go on date with me?"
"After all that, you still want me?"
"Of course I do, why you would think I wouldn't want you"
"Emmett, me surviving aneurysm means I have to live a stress free life. I have to keep my blood pressure down. I have to depend on you for everything. I can't have a proper working job because of my record. And why didn't you ask me to be you girlfriend?" she asked while playfully pouting
He brushes her lips to stop her from pouting, She is so cute. "Ok first of all, one of our problems when we broke up is that you didn't depend on me enough, this time you will. About getting a real job, I can't imagine having one you ,Bay, having a normal job, you were born to be an artist. You don't need one anyway, You ARE a successful artist, last night was amazing and all your paintings are amazing. And I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend because last time you said that we rushed our relationship and I don't want that to happen again. When the time comes I will be your boyfriend. So what do you say, will you go on a date with me?" he asks
"Yes, yes I will" she replies with a huge smile on her face
"Can I ask you one more question?"
She nods her head while signing yes.
"You asked me yesterday if I wanted coffee, yet I see no coffee in your kitchen"he says
"Oh that, it was an excuse to get you stay last night. It's one of the things you have to give up for me, caffeine raises your blood pressure therefore I can't have any. I don't want to be tempted so you can't have any either" she said
"Well it's a good thing that I don't even like coffee. Bay, I would give anything up just so I could be with you"
They both smile at each other, Emmett pulls her closer to his body. Emmett places hands on her waist, while she wraps her arm to his lower back. He was sitting on a stool, and she was standing. They were face to face, locking eyes, they kiss for about 10 seconds then pulled back. It felt like fireworks went off around them, just like their first kiss eight years ago.
AN:So who predicted that she had an aneurysm, i didnt expect it and i wrote it. I was planning for her to be sick while they started dating again so that he could help her recover but i thought that this way it fits better for the story. I hope you guys noticed the closeness of the sibling relationship between Toby and Bay. He went to her while everyone else looked for Daphne
I feel sorry for my Bay, her hands must hurt now from all that signing
This is more of my element of writing because i did really well in my pathology classes in uni. For those who dont know an aneurysm is localised swelling of an artery or vein, my lecturer told me "ballooning of a blood vessel". If you ever get a big headache or stiff neck please go to the emergency room, at that point,most likely, the aneurysm have ruptured and 2/3 patients die since they fail to reach help in time time, its better to be safe than sorry.
Also i need your guys opinion
- should i start a pintrest page or put links of the artwork i find in my profile page because art is an essential part of the story, and i feel like i dont do justice describing them
- if i write smut or lemon in the rated m section would you read it, i read a lot fifty shades fanfiction and i kind of want to them to have that type of connection
Lastly thank you to Junia Grey for being an avid follower and reviewer
