3 hours later
Emily and Nikolas walked in to the living room talking about there friends wedding. Nikolas put Lulu bags down and called out to Lulu
"Lulu where are you?"
When she didn't respond Nikolas went up to the room that she had a wyndemre. He didn't see her, so he went to the living room to call the cell phone he had gotten her for her birthday. When she didn't answer Nikolas and Emily began to get worried.
"Where do you think she could be?" Emily asked him
"I have no idea I just hope she is okay"
"I am sure she is"
"So how are you and the baby feeling?" Nikolas asked, afraid that Emily had been pushing herself to much by spending so much time with Elizabeth
"The baby and I are doing fine; you don't need to worry about us"
Just then Emily's cell phone rang
"Hey this is Emily "she said as she answered the phone
"Hey Em, you and Nikolas should get down here to the ER, Lulu was just brought in" Monica told her
"What's wrong with her?"
"We don't know yet we can't do anything with out the consent of one her guardians (Nikolas or Lucky)"
"Okay, we'll be right there" Emily said she hung up the phone
"Lulu was just brought into the ER "Emily told Nikolas as she went to get her coat
1 hour later
Nikolas and Emily had signed consent forms and were sat in the waiting room all they knew was that someone had found Lulu on the dock and called an ambulance.
A doctor came into the room to talk to them
"We're waiting for all of the tests to come back, but from I can tell it looks like she was raped, she also has a broken rib"
Nikolas looked over at Emily and could tell that she remembering everything that happened with Connor. He couldn't bear to see the pain in her eyes so he turned to the doctor
"Is she awake?"
"No not yet but she should be soon"
"When will you get the results from the rape kit?"
"In an hour or two"
"Can we see her?"
"Yes as long as you family, I will come check on her later" the doctor told them as she left.
Nikolas turned to Emily, who hadn't said anything since the doctor came to talk to them
"I can understand if you don't want to, but I'm going to go see her"
"No" Emily told him
"What?"
"I think it will be better for her if I'm the one whose there when she wakes up"
Lulu's hospital room
A million things ran through Emily's head when she saw Lulu in that hospital bed. She was beaten up pretty badly, she was bruised and covers in cuts. Then Lulu start to wake up
"Hey sweetie" Emily said to her as she started open her eyes. Emily looked into Lulu' blue eyes and saw emotions that were way too familiar to her. She wanted to hold Lulu in her arms and tell her everything would be okay, but she knew it wouldn't.
The next day
"Hey Lulu"
"Hey Em" Lulu said she look like she had just been crying
"What's wrong? Are you in any pain?"
"No"
"Then what's wrong?"
"Everyone says they understand, but they don't"
"That's what I thought"
"What are you talking about?"
"I know how you feel"
"No you don't"
"Lulu we never told you this because we did want you to worry, but last year I was raped"
"How do you get over it, I feel like no one understands how I feel"
"That's were you are wrong, because I understand, and I'll always be here for you"
