Emily was dozing on the edge of the hospital bed.
It was the first time she had slept in days.
She couldn't bring herself to move away from Naomi.
Emily sat holding her hand waiting for her to awake
The only time she left her side was to briefly go to the toilet.

She was snatched from her dream at the noise of the door opening.
The same nurse came back into the room to do more tests on the blonde.
'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you' she apologised as she walked into the room.

'It's okay.' Emily responded biting her lip.
'Any change?' Emily asked after a few moments.

'Her breathing has stabilised and her blood pressure has lowered. So she's doing really well. Has she shown anymore signs?' the nurse asked.

'No.' Emily said sadly.
Naomi hadn't twitched or blinked since the time a few days ago.

'Well. She's still looking better. We can only be optimistic.' She said smiling.

Emily took confidence in knowing that Naomi was likely to be okay.
She clasped hold of the girls hand and began talking to her in a low voice.

'Hurry up and wake up now. I know I said to give me time, but I'm ready to tell you how I feel. So please wake up and let me. I don't know if you can hear me. I hope so…' Emily whispered quietly.

'Truth is. I do love you. I'm still in love with you. I want to be yours. I want to do everything with you. I cant imagine a day where I'm not with you…where I'm not in love with you…' she continued.

'I need you to wake up. I need you to come back to me. Because…I don't know how much longer I can cope without you.'

Right on cue, Naomi's hand twitched on Emily's.
Her hand grasped the porcelain one wrapping her thumb around.

Emily jumped, and burst into tears.
'No…' Naomi said weakly.
'Don't….don't….do that.' She said.

'Baby' Emily pounced forward and held the girl tightly.
She cried into the blonde's shoulder, and kissed her forehead.
'I'm so glad you're alright.'

Naomi let out a meek smile, and whispered the only words that could have closed the redheads floodgate.
'I love you.'

Emily lay on the hospital bed entwined with Naomi; her arms strongly around the blonde girls' waist.
They both began to drift off.
Every time she felt herself falling to sleep, she leant forward and placed an assortment of kisses onto Naomi's back.
'Let's spend every day for the rest of our lives like this.' Emily said.
'Sounds good.'
The two girls lay together and dreamt of thier future yet untold.
