A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger. Wait, no I'm not! (: This is going to be the last chapter, but thank you everyone for all of your reviews and support! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. xoxo

Emma's mom couldn't think about what would have happened if she hadn't left work early. She couldn't think about Emma dying on her bedroom floor. She couldn't think about what would have happened if she hadn't picked her daughter's weak body up, carried her down the stairs and taken to her the hospital.

What if she had gotten home a minute later?

Emma probably would have died.

She sat, holding the hand of her unconscious daughter, trying to calm her tears. She didn't want Emma to wake up and see what a mess she was. She needed to be strong for her little girl.

Emma's eyes fluttered opened. "What did you do, Mom?" she asked hoarsely.

"I saved you, Emmy, and I would do it again. You have… no idea how scared I was. I've never been so scared in my entire life."

Emma's eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, Mom. I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt anyone I just wanted this all to stop."

"I'm going to make sure that you get the help that you need. I promise. I'll do anything to keep you safe." She reached out and grabbed her hand.

Emma closed her eyes, and it all became clear to her. She only hurt her mother by hurting herself. She never hurt Will. Will would be lucky to have her, but he didn't want her. It wasn't the end of the world.

Nothing that had happened to her in these last months were the end of the world.

She was lucky. She had parents would do anything for her, what else mattered? Emma had spent too much time focusing on all of the people who had hurt her. She was attracted to them, yet she pushed her mother, the only person who wanted to help her away.

"I'm sorry I pushed you away, Mom." She said. "I'm sorry that I didn't talk to you about what was going on. It would have been a lot easier."

Her mom nodded. "I agree. Next time something's bothering you, know that you can talk to me."

Emma nodded, hugging her mother. She knew that she wasn't better. She knew that she was going to have to work really hard in order to become the girl she once was again, but she was willing to work, because that Emma Pillsbury was something wonderful, and she loved that girl. She also knew that this was something that she had to do on her own.

For the first time in this whole ordeal, she wanted to get better. It took almost taking her own life to realize how precious it was.

There was a knock on the door and she saw Terri standing in the door way. It was the last thing that she had expected. She wasn't afraid though, not anymore. "Can I come in?" She asked, holding lilies. Emma loved lilies, and Terri knew that.

Emma's mom looked at Emma for approval. She nodded. "Mom, can you get me something to drink?" She asked. "I want to talk to Terri for a minute."

Terri's eyes were full of fear and pain. "I'm sorry." She said. "I never thought that I could push you this far… I never wanted to hurt you this badly."

"Why did you?" Emma asked. There was no resentment in her voice, she was simply curious as to why Terri did what she did.

"Because you're such an amazing person… and I wanted to hurt you. I didn't want you to be better than me… I know this sounds stupid, but people throw rocks at things that shine."

"I forgive you." Emma said, and she truly did forgive her. It was an amazing feeling, forgiveness. If she could forgive Terri, then forgiving herself should be easy.

Terri hugged her, knowing that she would never get her best friend back, but knowing that she had changed her life and the way that he looked at other people.

Emma wasn't scared of Terri and that was such a powerful feeling. She didn't care what she said, she was stronger than she was before, strong enough to begin to love herself, which can be one of the hardest things that a sixteen year old can do.

Of course, not long after Terri left, Will came. His eyes were blood shot, and his hands were shaking. "Emma… I wanted to come earlier, but I didn't know what to say or if you even wanted to see me…"

"You hurt me a lot Will…"

"I know." He said, "But there's something that I have to tell you… I messed up… big time. But I realized something. I love you Emma. I love you the way Romeo loved Juliet."

"They ended tragically… Can you promise we wont end like them?"

Will shook his head. "I can't promise anything, except that I'll spend every day showing you how much you mean to me."

"I have to… go away for a while."

Will smiled, knowing what the answer was to his unspoken question was. "That's okay. I'll wait for you to come back."

"I don't know how long it's going to take."

"I hope it's still winter. I want to make snow angels like we used to… maybe your mom can make us hot chocolate and we can sit by the fire."

"Maybe in the spring we can go back to the zoo."

He reached out for her hand, and looked into her eyes. "Emma, I love you."

She smiled at him. "I love you too."

They sealed it with a kiss, one so magical that Emma swore she saw fireworks.

They did make snow angels that winter, and they did go to the zoo that spring. Every day Emma loved herself more and more, but the thing was that she didn't love herself because Will loved her. She loved herself because she saw all the reasons that Will loved her.

When they graduated college they got married, just like Emma's mom had predicted. They had two children, Jenny and Alison. They taught their children how to make snow angels and took them to the zoo, making sure they had all of the junk food that their little bodies could take.

Emma made sure that she kissed her girls every night and told them how wonderful they were, and if they ever were upset that she was there, just as her mother was always there for her. She knew that it didn't mean that the girls would go to her all the time, but she hoped that they would when ever they could.

Emma still had the scars on her body to remind her of the way that she felt once, but she saw this as a good thing. She was reminded every day of her mistakes and how much they hurt herself and those around her.

She looked at her loving husband and beautiful kids and saw how lucky she was.

Emma and Will got everything that they ever wanted, and it only took a major bump in the road for them to find each other. In the end it was all worth it though. Emma thought about how wonderful her life was and smiled at Will who was sitting across from her. Will smiled back, thinking the same exact thing.

It didn't come easily, but in the end, they living happily ever after.
