Chapter Twenty Six

2 Days Later

Naomi

It was first thing in the morning and I was sat with my head buried in Emily's chest, it is two days since she was stabbed and she still hadn't woken up, I know people would probably think I am silly but I kept talking to her, I have no idea if she could hear me but I would rather keep talking in case she could, I wanted her to know I was with her and that I wasn't going to leave her.

I looked up when the door opened and I heard the brisk Scottish voice I hated "Get away from my daughter you bitch."

I stood up but remained by Emily's side ignoring her comment "Get the fuck out of this room now; you know you are not welcome and you know Emily won't want you hear."

She glared at me "She is my daughter, she is nothing to you."

I could feel my anger bubbling to the surface "She is the fucking love of my life now get the fuck out."

Katie came into the room and grabbed Jenna's arm pulling her back towards the door "You have heard it from Naomi and now you will hear it from me get the fuck out of here and don't come back. I will be making sure security know not to let you anywhere near from now on."

Jenna went to speak again but Katie slammed the door in her face and turned to me "You ok?"

I nodded as I sat back down "Yeah, thanks for that."

She smiled and held up the bag in her hand "I brought you some more clothes and I also brought you something to eat."

I looked up and smiled slightly "Thanks I will change in a bit but I'm not hungry."

Katie looked concerned "You need to eat Naomi, you haven't eaten since this happened, you need your strength."

I snapped "I'm not hungry." Katie looked a little upset and I immediately felt guilty "I'm sorry Katie I shouldn't have snapped, none of this is your fault."

She smiled slightly "It's ok I know you are worried, we all are but I am also worried about you, you need to look after yourself as well and if you're not bothered about yourself do it for Emily, you know she would be saying the same as me."

I smiled weakly at her "You can be nice sometimes can't you?"

She laughed "Occasionally but as I have to tell Emily at times don't be telling everyone I have a reputation to uphold."

I laughed a little "My lips are zipped."

She walked over and gave me the bag "Try and eat it later, even if it is just a little bit."

I took the bag from her "I'll try, I promise."

She went to sit round the other side of Emily and we sat quietly for about half an hour when suddenly Emily's machines started beeping. I was terrified my heart was beating so fast as the doctors and nurses came bursting in. Katie pulled me away from Emily and I completely broke down "She can't leave me Katie, she just can't leave me."

My tears were streaming down my cheeks as everyone worked on my girl, Katie kept a tight hold on me trying to calm me down a little and as grateful as I was to her I knew I wouldn't be calm until I knew my Emily was going to be ok.

Emily

Everything was so bright but nothing looked familiar, I had no idea where I was as I put one foot in front of another walking into the distance, walking towards where the light was I was hoping that was where I would find Naomi as she wasn't anywhere to be seen around here and she was the only person I wanted to see right now, I could hear her voice so why couldn't I see her. I called out her name "Naomi."

She didn't reply and I was beginning to worry about where everyone was now and really beginning to wonder where the hell I actually was. I continued to walk towards the light when a young lady stepped out from somewhere, I jumped as I hadn't seen her and couldn't see where she could have come from anyway, she spoke softly "You look a little lost."

I nodded "I am looking for Naomi, have you seen anyone, she has blonde hair down to about her shoulders and the most gorgeous blue eyes you have ever seen."

She shook her head "She's not here Emily."

I was a little taken aback "Do I know you?"

She shook her head again "No we never met but I know Naomi."

I looked around before turning back to her "Where am I? Who are you? What the fuck is going on here?"

She held out her hand to me and shook my hand "It is hard to describe where you are, it is kind of an in-between place and you have a choice to make now. I am Tamara by the way."

I was shocked "Hang on did you just say Tamara, Tamara as in Naomi's dead best friend." She nodded slowly before I asked my next question "What choice do I have to make?"

She smiled slightly "You have to decide whether to live or die Emily, I know that might sound harsh, like I said you at a kind of crossroads right now, your body is lying in a hospital bed hooked up to machines with Naomi by your side holding your hand after being stabbed. I am hoping to stop you walking into the light Emily, you can't die you have your whole life ahead of you, a life with Naomi. There is something I want you to know Emily I have seen Naomi love before, well kind of love but I have never seen her love someone the way she loves you."

I smiled as I thought of Naomi "I love her too, I love her so fucking much it hurts to be without her. I just want to see her, to hold her and kiss her."

She smiled "Well I think you have made your decision."

I smiled again "Well if my decision is to be with Naomi or be without it will absolutely be to be with her, I can't bear to be without her."

Tamara's smile grew "That is what I wanted to hear." She paused "Emily before you go back to her I want to thank you."

I frowned a little "What for?"

She smiled "For helping Naomi, I love her pieces, she was my best friend but I know how difficult she can be but you stuck with her and you put her life back together and I can honestly say she is happy, probably happier than I have ever seen her."

I smiled "I promise you I will look after her, she is the love of my life and I plan on spending my life with her." I paused again "You know you are just as beautiful as Naomi described, she misses you, you know."

She looked a little sad "I miss her too but knowing she is happy and knowing she has someone to love her and make her happy makes everything a bit better. Now go back to her and give her, her belief back, let her know that you are still with her."

I hugged Tamara "What will you do now?"

She pulled back "I will follow my light now, I will move on to the life that is now meant for me but I will always be there with Naomi and you now."

I hugged her once more before turning round and walking back the other way "It was nice to finally meet you Tamara."

She smiled "And you Emily."

I continued walking until I could no longer see her, I wasn't entirely sure where I was going but I knew Tamara would be guiding me in the right direction, the way back to my Naomi."

Naomi

It was touch and go there for a while but finally they got Emily's heart going again, I can honestly say I have never been so scared in my life as I was in that moment not even when I was told about my own injuries before I had met Emily. I was sat beside her bed again with my head in her chest wanting to be as close to her as possible all over again. Katie had gone to get some air and to update Cook and Effy on what was going on and I think she wanted to give me some space to be alone with Emily. I lifted my head a little and kissed her cheek "Emily please wake up, please just wake up I am begging you. I can't live without you I just can't, you are my life, you make me complete."

Tears started rolling again as Emily remained still, I lowered my head to her chest again and closed my eyes hoping that if I closed them she might be awake when I opened them again, I tried this a few times but nothing changed so I resigned myself to just sitting with her. I looked round when the door opened and smiled weakly when I saw my mum "How is she doing today love?"

Another tear fell from my eye "I don't really know mum, she crashed earlier and it took a few minutes to get her heart going again, I was so scared, I honestly thought I was going to lose her."

More tears began falling as mum enveloped me in her arms "Just give her time love, she will come back to you, she loves you too much to leave you."

I took a deep breath "That's what everybody keeps telling me so why won't she wake up."

Mum kissed the top of my head "She will."

She went to sit round the other side of Emily as I rested my head on her chest again. I could hear the clock ticking in the background as I closed my eyes again.

I opened my eyes a couple of hours later and could have sworn I heard a voice but as I lifted my head I saw the room was empty, Mum must have gone and Katie must have been elsewhere still. I looked at Emily and could see that her eyes were still closed so I rested my head again, I lay thinking for a couple of minutes when I heard a soft whisper again, I lifted my head so quickly as I held my breath, my heart was beating so quickly and I didn't quite dare turn around until I heard her voice, as croaky as it was I knew it was her "Naomi."

My head shot round and I have never been so pleased to see the chocolate brown colour of her eyes as I was then. I flung my arms around her "Oh my god Emily, you're awake, you're fucking awake."

She smiled slightly "Water."

I rushed over to the table in the corner of the room and grabbed the jug of water and poured a small amount out into the cup and put the straw in before taking it over to Em. I held the cup up to her mouth and she took a couple of small sips before smiling "Thank you."

I smiled "Anything for you. I am just so glad you are awake."

She took hold of my hand "I'm sorry."

I stroked the back of her hand "You have nothing to be sorry about none of this is your fault."

She squeezed my hand "How long have I been out?"

I leant over and kissed her softly "A couple of days." I moved back a little "I better go and tell the doctor you're awake and I think there are a few other people that will want to know."

She kissed the back of my hand "Ok but come back quickly."

I smiled before kissing her softly once more "I will be very quick, I haven't left you since this happened and I am not planning on leaving you until you are discharged."

She laughed but grimaced at the same time as I walked towards the door "I love you."

I spun around and smiled "I love you too. I'll be right back."
