Emily's shaking hands grabbed her set of keys and tried to make it to the door without breaking down, tears were streaming down her face and she couldn't stop the awful sobbing sounds she was making.
Daniel jumped up and said "Emily what's wrong?"
"The-ther-there's been an acc-accident and Victoria is barely alive." she screamed and pounded into his chest, staining his shirt with her tears.
Daniel took the keys from Emily and guided her outside and into the car, helped her into the passenger seat and buckled her in. Running back to the driver's side he quickly turned the car on and then rushed them to the hospital, sometimes going above the speed limits.
When they arrived Emily ran into the hospital, not stopping until she reached inside. When she saw that Daniel decided not to follow her she was happy, that was not one media explosion she would have wanted to happen right now. Inside it was deathly quiet and no one was in the waiting room. All Emily could think about was that Victoria didn't deserve this.
A doctor came out "Emily Thorne?" he asked.
Emily nodded, afraid that if she opened her mouth she'd end up screaming.
"Victoria's a fighter, the truck that ran into her car should have killed her. She's ended up with a broken leg, cracked ribs and light internal bleeding that we will have to monitor."
"Is she going to die?" Emily asked, brushing a tear from her face.
The doctor looked at his notes, then at Emily and then back at his notes. He scratched his nose and replied "It's a waiting game Miss Thorne, it could go any way now."
Emily's heart plummeted, she wouldn't no couldn't imagine life without Victoria. She pulled out her cell phone to see if Charlotte had gotten her messages, when she saw that she had she breathed out a sigh of relief. She put the phone back in her bag and looked at the doctor, the expression on his face showed that he wanted to say something for her.
"Would you like to see her?" he asked.
Emily nodded and then followed him through countless corridors until they reached Victoria's. Emily tried to prepare herself for what she was about to see but nothing could prepare her for this. Emily gasped when she saw Victoria, her face was covered in scratches and a long stitch rang from the middle of her left cheek and then curved to meet the corner of her lips. Her skin was a deathly pale and covered in countless bruises, her right eyes was swollen shut and her lips showed signs of dried blood.
Emily ran over to her and grabbed Victoria's hand, wishing desperately that Victoria would wake up and live but knowing what pain she would be in if she did. One of Emily's tears dripped onto Victoria's face and she was transported into a memory.
The first time Emily had ever seen Victoria really laugh was when they were cuddling in bed one night watching the news on Emily's laptop, it had been a month since they had come out but the media was still circling them like vultures. Victoria had laughed, like she had never seen something so silly and pushed the laptop off of Emily's lap and crawled on top of her and pressed their noses together.
"If the media thinks that they can make me any less happy than I am now with their silly stories then they are wrong, my Emily is everything to me."
A couple months after that Victoria had come downstairs one morning and said that she was going to her gym to get a lesson from her private instructor and Emily had walked her over to the door and gave her a kiss. When neither pulled away Victoria's hands started to wander.
Emily broke away and whispered "I think I know an exercise way better than whatever you'll do there." and scooped Victoria up and carried her upstairs, both laughing.
Charlotte and Conrad had burst into the room, both wearing their pajamas. Charlotte was sporting a grey over sized sweater and long pajama bottoms. Conrad was also wearing long pajama bottoms and a robe.
"Is she dying?" Charlotte asked.
Emily wasn't paying attention to her but was instead fixing a glare on Conrad. "What are you doing here? Last time I checked you were ignoring us."
"You are not the only one who loves her." Conrad replied tightly.
Charlotte also glared at him and went over to Emily and hugged her. This was what Emily needed, the warmth embrace from her half-sister.
Just as Emily turned back to look at Victoria, the cardiac monitor gave a loud beep. Before Emily could process what was going on half a dozen doctors ran into the room and wheeled Victoria out, shouting orders at each other.
Emily body shook as she realized what was happening. Nolan rushed in and pulled her into his chest, remembering how their roles had been reversed a couple of years ago. He pet her hair, "Come on Ems lets go get you some awful tasting coffee."
Emily shook her head and Nolan ruffled her hair before going to get her a cup of coffee.
About an hour later there was still no news and everyone was clustered in the waiting room. Charlotte was leaning against Conrad, asleep and Nolan was still trying to comfort Emily.
The same doctor came out, "I'm so sorry, we tried but her heart's failing and well she around twenty minutes left."
Emily wasted no time and sprinted into Victoria's room. When she reached Victoria was having a coughing fit, her eyes were glazed over and all Emily wanted to do was to wrap her up in her arms' and never lert her go.
"Victoria please don't leave me," Emily sobbed clutching Victoria's hand, "please Victoria."
Victoria feebly removed her hand from Emily and reached up to try and cup her face.
"I've never loved anyone as much as I have loved you, your father included."
Emily brought her hand up to Victoria's and held it against her face.
"Emily," Victoria forced out between coughs, then looked away and back at her, "Amanda I love you."
Then just liked that Emily watched the light fade from Victoria's eyes and her hand went limp. Emily screamed as she fell to the floor, her heart felt like it was being run over by a bus, dropped into acid and ravaged by lions at the same time.
"Victoria, please no." she sobbed and then used the bed to pull herself up and look at Victoria, who looked at peace.
Emily knew Victoria wasn't religious, and if anything she thought she was going to hell but if there was a heaven then it had just received its most perfect angel, in Emily's eyes.
AN: The End ... ? You really want to murder me don't you ... sorry :D
