Emily
Fitch sat down and held the girls hand
The girl was unconscious in
the bed next to where Emily was sat.
A nurse came in carrying
a clipboard.
She adjusted the girl's drips, and monitored her
heartbeat and blood pressure.
'How is she? Is she doing
better?' Emily asked quietly.
'She's still the same,
sweetheart.' The nurse knelt down beside Emily. 'She's still in
critical condition. The longer she stays like this….the more likely
she won't wake up without problems.'
'Problems…?'
'She could suffer brain damage the longer she stays unconscious.'
Emily
looked back across at the girl and held her hand tighter.
She
resisted allowing the tears to fall from her eyes, however was unable
to stop her lip quivering.
'She's very lucky to be alive. Naomi is a very strong girl.'
Emily leant forward and kissed
Naomi's forehead.
She whispered in her ear. 'I'm never going
to leave you. I'm right here by your side. Come back to
me'
-
Naomi's brain woke up instantly at the words
caressing her.
Emily's words haunted Naomi's mind.
'Come
back to me.'
'By your side.'
'Right here'
'Come
back to me.'
'Come back to me.'
Naomi was urging
herself to go back to the voice.
The voice that even in her
unconscious state was giving her goose bumps.
Her skin feeling
warmer where Emily's skin meets her own.
She was longing to wrap
her own fingers around the redheads.
She was desperate to feel her
breath on her ear again.
But she couldn't.
She couldn't
force herself to open her eyes
She couldn't move her legs.
She
couldn't tighten her grip on Emily's hand.
She knew what
she wanted to do; what she needed to.
She just couldn't force
her body to do as she wanted.
-
The door opened again,
and Emily was met with a friendly face.
'Effy.' She said and
smiled.
Naomi felt herself smile as she heard Effy had come to see her.
Effy brought herself over to Emily, and did something
that surprised even her.
She leant over and brought the girl into
a hug.
Emily lifted one of her hands up, and wrapped it over her
back
The other hand still solidly attached to Naomi's
hand.
Effy leant over to Naomi and gave her a kiss on the
cheek.
She perched on the floor and asked the inevitable
question.
'How's she doing?'
'They said she's
being really strong…but…they don't know if she'll…'
Emily's voice trailed off.
'It's my fault…' Effy
began.
'Don't even start…it's nothing to do with you.'
Emily snapped.
'No…it was. I told her to go after you. I told
her to tell you how she felt.'
'Even so…when she told me…I
said nothing. I stood there. I made her cry, Effy. I made Naomi cry,
she never cries.'
Emily herself now began to cry.
Naomi
felt herself burning up inside.
She was crying over her.
She
wanted to sit her down and comfort her. But there was nothing she
could do.
The sound of the door opening again, caused Naomi to
break from her thoughts.
'God, I'm popular.'
Emily and
Effy turned to the door and was greeted by the gang.
Pandora and
Thomas sat themselves down on the floor, and sat hand in hand in
silence watching the blonde girl sleep.
Freddie headed straight
for Effy, and met her with a kiss, and a romantic embrace.
Katie
lunged for her sister, holding her closely.
This must have been a
twin thing,
Katie must have felt how Emily was feeling because as
soon as she found her twin, either couldn't close off their
tears.
Cook and JJ arrived also.
Backwardly, Cook was in tears
and JJ was consoling him.
Standing behind the boys was the tall
figure Emily didn't want to see.
Pulling her face from Katie,
she stared the girl down.
'What are you doing? Don't pretend
you care. You didn't like Naomi, and she certainly didn't like
you.'
'I…came to see if you were alright. To see if you
needed someone.'
'Hannah, the only person I need right now is
lying beside me, and is likely to die. I don't need you and I never
will. Get out of here. I don't want to see you again.' Emily
shouted.
The sudden increase in noise made Naomi jump, and she
stirred from her unconscious state.
'Naomi?' Freddie called
jumping up, and towering over her.
'Naomi…are you okay?'
Effy repeated, also seeing her flinch.
Naomi's hand twitched under Emily's fingers, and her eyes began to blink softly like she was dreaming.
Naomi was desperately trying to get out.
Trying
to show everyone she was okay.
Emily leant forward and
whispered again.
'I'm still in love with you too….so come
back to me.'
