Finally finished chapter 3.
Words: 566 (I know it's not many and I'm sorry if this chapter is kind of boring, but it will get better.)
I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
Emma didn't sleep again that night. The doctors had brought Will back to his room at 8pm. Dr O'Hara came out half an hour later, delivering the news to Emma. The surgery was a success; they had been able to remove the entire bullet. But where the bullet had hit Will's brain, it caused him to become paralysed on his right hand side. And the internal bleeding in his skull had sent him into a coma.
Emma still couldn't fully come to terms with everything that had happened. And as she sat there, at 10:30pm, holding tightly onto Will's hand, so many thoughts were running through her mind. Why had she been so horrible to him? Why had Ken done this? What was she going to do? She still loved him, but she didn't know if she could be with him after everything he had done.
Dr O'Hara came to check on Will at about 11pm, just as Emma had stopped crying.
"Evening Emma." Dr O'Hara said with a smile. "How are you?"
"Fine, I suppose. Thanks." Emma managed to smile back, but she only smiled with her mouth, not with her eyes.
"You know, it sometimes helps coma patients if they were listening to music, or if they heard a familiar voice, or maybe even if you sing to them."
"Really?" Emma asked, shock in her voice.
"Yeah. Maybe you should give it a try." Dr O'Hara said, walking towards the door. "Night, Emma." She smiled.
"Night." She moved closer to Will and said "This is probably the best I can do at this point, but here it goes."
I gotta take a little time
A little time to take things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Emma had thought wisely about what she wanted to sing to Will, and, even though he probably couldn't hear her, she knew that this would sum up how she felt.
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know
If I can face it again
Emma felt a tear run down her cheek, but quickly wiped it away.
Can't stop now
I've travelled this far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
A smile crept onto her lips as she sang the rest of the song
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know
If I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
She tried to stifle back a yawn, but she knew she couldn't resist sleep. She muttered one last sentence before she fell asleep.
"I love you, Will."
So, how was it? Bet you did expect that, did ya? I would just like to thank r0ckgal for helping me think of this song. And for all of you that don't know it, it's I wanna know what love is by Foreigner. Please review.
