Chapter 1
___________
Nikolas POV
I've been sitting here for hour's maybe even days, waiting to hear any news on Emily's condition. Her family has been visiting her quite frequently so I don't get a lot of time with her. I look up as I hear her hospital room door open and close. It's Monica; she notices me and walks over.
"Is there any change?" I ask.
"I'm sorry Nikolas she doesn't appear to be getting any better...but you can go she her now is you wish".
I rise and thank Monica then I slowly approach her room. I knock lightly to see if my angel is awake. When I don't hear a response, I enter. I sit down beside her and take her hand, she looks so delicate and frail like she could break any second. Her eyelids flutter open.
"Nikolas" she mumbles.
"I'm right here Em". "I'm glad your here with me, you give me the strength that I need." She admits
"Did you rest well" I question.
"Quite well, I dreamed of wonderful times to come. Like our life together".
"Em are you finally believing that you are going to survive through this?"
"Nikolas you've told me time and time again that I'm going to live through this, and now more then ever I need to believe that." She stated bluntly.

Emily POV
When I woke up he was by my side, just like he's always been. I want to tell him that I really do love him, and that I want this to be a real engagement. But the thought that I might not survive; keeps me from telling him how I really feel. Maybe when this is all over we can have our long awaited happiness.
"Have you heard anything more from Monica on my condition?"
"I'm sorry Em but there's no change. Maybe we should take this as good news. I mean if you're not getting any worse then it's just a matter of time until you start to recover. Nikolas replied
"I hope your right Nikolas, I really do"
I hear a knock on the door and Monica reenters. She tells Nikolas that he should leave so I can get some rest. I say good bye to Nikolas and they both leave. I am alone once more. Hopefully I'll dream more of my Prince.

Nikolas POV
So here I am back in the waiting room until I can see her again. I wanted nothing more then to wrap my arms around her and never let go. But I know if I tell her how I feel she'll push me away just like she did to Zander. She needs me I know that, but she won't let me in. She doesn't want to break my heart if she doesn't survive. No matter what I will never leave her whether she wants me to or not. I will love her til the end of time.
