"Craig?" Manny knocked first on Craig's door in the back. Jay and Sean stood behind her, glancing at another. They heard hasty movement from inside but no reply. Manny knocked harder, "Emma!"

Sean pushed her alittle out of the way and went to open it. It was locked. He started to pound on the door, "EMMA?" his voice boomed.

The door whipped open and a shirtless, worried Craig stood there. His eyes were wide and he was clearly on something, "I-I..I don't know what happened." he went to guide them over, tossing over his shoulder, "She won't wake up."

He started to pace back and forth and Manny's mouth fell, seeing all the coke and alcohol on the table. "Craig, you bastard." she choked.

Sean's eyes were horrified as he saw Emma leaned back on the couch, passed out. She looked so small and helpless. Craig had tried to clean her nose but she looked so pale and there was a little blood on her dress.

"Em? Emma?" Sean quickly bent down and cupped her face, and tried to shake her. "Emma!"

She stirred, whimpering, but stirred. "Thank god." cried Manny, running her fingers through her hair and Craig went to turn to leave for Jay to grab him. Craig's eyes widened when Jay's fist met with his face.

((**))

"We'll take her to the hospital!" Manny insisted, running ahead of Sean who was carrying Emma through the parking lot in his arms. He carried her like she weighed nothing, his eyes determined to get her in the car and to the hospital. He looked unsettling.

Manny had her keys and passed them to Jay, "Drive fast!"

Jay got into the driver seat, starting the car quickly. Manny sat in the passenger seat and looked into the backseat where Sean craddled Emma in his arms. The car was speeding to the hospital, and Manny glanced back again to see if Emma was awake yet.

She was breathing, in and out, and Sean tried to hide his tears as he held her tightly to him. How could she do that to herself? She really had a problem. He didn't know what to do to help her anymore. It was out of his hands and that was fucking unfair. She didn't deserve this. This wasn't her.

He caught Manny's eye and she looked distraught too and even sad for him. He looked down and tried to tighten his jaw but it trembled as he choked on a cry. Emma stayed out like a light until the Doctors got a hold of her, and Sean stayed in the waiting room all night.

(((*********))))))

4 DAYS LATER..

Sean tiredly rubbed his eyes from the work on his desk. He had a bunch of files and signatures to go through and he had been there all day.

Nobody was at work today, he told everyone to go home early. It had been a rough week.

It was quiet, which was odd for his shop.

As he signed some papers, he heard his front door open and footsteps come closer to his office door. He looked up, and his eyes doubled back to fixate on Emma's.

Emma stood at the door, looking much better than the last time he saw her. She even seemed slightly afraid to be here, and alone with him. They stood in awkward silence and she tried to find her words as she crossed her arms and got comfortable against the door frame. She couldn't bare taking another step inside.

He got up slowly, throwing his pen down onto the desk, and glancing back at her. He walked around the desk slowly and Emma shook her head, finally breaking out into sobs as he came over to her.

"I'm so sorry." she bursted into hysterics.

He walked right up to her and grabbed her head into his hands, leaning his forehead against hers, "Don't you ever fucking do that to me again." he leaned down, and he crashed his lips to hers.

Emma muffled a cry and kissed him back, clinging to him for dear life. God she loved him so much. He never left her side until the doctors ordered him to go.

They broke apart, and he just held her. She shook her head and laid it against his chest, "I won't get better." she sniffed.

"Yes you will."

She pulled away and whipped her tears. He glanced down at her, still beautiful even as she cried. "I couldn't even say no." she cried.

"Well Craig did have a buffet of every drug on his coffee table." sneered Sean, "That wasn't your fault, Emma."

She looked away, biting her lip. "I don't know anymore. My life is a mess." she laughed hysterically, "I can't even get a real job with Peter making sure he's destroying my only career."

Sean shrugged. So what if she wasn't a model? She was made for better and deep down, she had to of known that. "You'll find something else."

Emma pouted up at him and he stared longing down at her. She looked down and said, "Manny told me about Ellie.."

He smirked a bit, "Did she now?"

Emma sadly smiled back up at him and shrugged with a nod. "Is it true?"

Sean nodded sincerely. "I told you I wanted another chance with you."

Emma sucked in a shakey breath, "Why? She's probably less drama. Probably has a stable life. And job.."

"Probably." he shrugged and she gave him a death look. He chuckled, and then ran his hands through her hair, "But she doesn't make me feel the things I do when I'm with you. Or when I look at you." he muttered, "You're so damn gorgeous to me, Em. You don't even know the things you do to me."

She blushed a bit, keeping her eyes on his and they kissed again, deeply. He pulled away a little breathless, "I love you."

She nodded with tears in her eyes again, only they were happy tears. "I love you too, Sean."

He sighed happily and pulled her more into his arms, kissing her with all the passion he had in him, knocking her up against the door and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She moaned into the kiss and never wanted to pull away.

This was the man of her dreams. The love of her life. Through thick and thin.
