Will got home eventually. When he entered the room, he got a weird vibe that something was not right. That something was missing. He went to Emma's bedroom to check on how she was feeling but what he saw horrified him. The closet full of clothes was found to be empty. All of Emma's belongings were gone. It was like she completely perished. Will started to freak out. He didn't know what to think.

"EMMA! EMMA!" Will shouted. He was scared that she was kidnapped again. He was going to head out of the door when a folded up letter with his name on it caught his attention. He opened it up and noticed immediately that it was Emma's handwriting.

Dear Will,

This is probably one of the hardest things that I will ever do in my life but I know it's for the best. As you may have noticed, all my belongings are gone. I decided to leave. We were always meant to say goodbye. Even with our fists held high, it would have never worked out. I want you to know that this is not your fault but mine's. You could have never loved me better but I want you to move on. Looking at you with Holly just broke my heart. That spark in your eyes reappeared the moment she appeared into your life. And I blamed myself for burning it out in the first place. I love you so much and I love you enough to let you go. I wasn't strong enough to say goodbye in person. Looking at you will only make me cry and make things harder. But I know that you will find happiness without me. You are the best man that I have ever known and I want you to know that you will always hold my heart. I have decided to go home and face my family. I think this is for the best. I hope you find what you are looking for. Goodbye.

Love,

Emma

As Will read the letter, he kept shaking his head. No, this couldn't be right. The love of his life disappeared again from his life. He couldn't believe it especially the part about Holly. She was just a friend and it broke his heart to think that this was what she had been feeling all this time. He needed to prove her wrong. He needed to let her know that he couldn't live without her. He wanted her, no, needed her. Reading this letter felt like someone just stabbed his heart. He started crying again and felt like his whole life had been a sob fest. This broke his heart but she was also the only one the can fix it. He didn't care about anything else but her and was determined to prove her wrong one way or another. He had to go after her. He knew what town her family lived in but didn't know specifically where it was. Will didn't care. He called up Figgins and headed out, determined to get her back.


Emma felt her heart breaking even more, the farther she was away from him. She would miss his smile and the love that he showed her. But he deserved to be happy. He couldn't be happy until she was out of the picture. The radio seemed to know what she was thinking about and continued to play sappy love songs, causing her to turn it off, making the car ride quiet, except for the grumbling sound of her engine. Sometimes she wished that she could reverse time. That way, she would have never met Will and none of this would happen. Tears that had been shed for Will would never have occurred and the amount of hearts shed would have disappeared. It was getting dark and Emma got closer to her destination. She was a little scared. She was always frightened driving in the dark, but after all that happened, she was even more frightened. She eventually reached the place and got out. Emma quietly walked to the door. She heard her parents laughing loudly, causing her to smile even further. She took a deep breath and knocked. At first, she knocked quietly but she knocked even forcefully when her parents didn't hear it. She heard their laughter stop and the sound of footsteps approached the door. When her father opened it, a loud gasp escaped his mouth.

"Emmy?"

"Hi daddy."

"Emmy, is that really you?" By the time that was said, Emma's mother ran to the door, and looked at her in a bewildered stare.

"Yes, daddy. It is me." Emma approached them even further and she took her dad's hands. Both of them were crying even more forcefully and Emma broke down and moved in to hug her father. Her mother also approached them and hugged them too. Emma knew that coming here was a good choice. She felt so loved and she felt the warmness she had always felt when she was a little girl, hugging her father. She felt that warmness come back. Home is really where the heart is.


Will was getting really frustrated. Sure the ride to Virginia took long but he needed to get to her as soon as possible. He didn't know what to say to her when he got there but he had a general idea. He kept staring at the letter she gave him. He wanted to tear the letter up but he couldn't. He kept calling her cell phone but she wouldn't pick up. Suddenly, as nothing could have gotten worse, his car decided to break down.


After a few minutes of being in her parents' arms, they all mutually pulled away and Emma sat down on the couch.

"Emma. I haven't seen you in forever. We miss you. We wish that you visited us more often." Her dad looked at her even closer. "Emmy. Something is bothering you. What's wrong?"

"Daddy, please don't get mad."

"Honey, we could never get mad at you. We love you. Could you please tell us what's wrong." Her mother replied.

"Did something happen?"

"Daddy, mommy." Emma didn't care how childish she was sounding. She always called them that and would not stop now. "A month ago. I was uh.. ran over by a car." Emma heard both of her parents' gasp. "I guess I was in a coma and all and after I woke up I was kidnapped." Emma looked at her parents. Both of them tried not to cry. "When I was kidnapped, I uh was..." Emma took a huge breath. "...raped." There, she finally said it to someone else. Her parents couldn't conceal it anymore and her mom broke down and her dad was ready to kill someone.

"Emma! Sweetheart!" Emma hugged them again and held their shirt tightly, feeling all the fear and anger rush through her. Her father moved his hands in circles against her back trying to sooth her while trying to sooth himself in the process.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier! I'm sorry!"

"Shhh... It's okay. You're safe now. Please tell me that he's been caught and locked up!"

"Yes daddy. He's gone. Physically he's gone. But I can't get him out of my head! I can never sleep because I have nightmares about him! I am always so cautious that he's going to come back."

"Oh honey." Her mom grabbed her in her arms. "I promise you that that will never happen again. We will protect you no matter what. Now," Her mom looked at her. "I'm probably thinking that you might want a shower and get some sleep. How does that sound?"

Emma smiled. "You always know how to make me feel better." Her parents laughed and Emma gave them one last hug and headed upstairs.

Once she was out of view, her parents, couldn't hide it anymore. They both began crying. They both felt that they were failure as parents. Their little Emmy was kidnapped and raped and they weren't even there to protect her. They couldn't imagine what she was going through and they looked at each other knowing, that they would do everything to help Emma get back to her feet.

That letter had some of Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone lyrics in it. I though that song matched perfectly of what Emma was feeling at that moment. I hope you all enjoyed it and next chapter we will see Emma's parents try to help her and Will try to go to Emma. I need some help though. What is a good name for Emma's parents? I can't think of any. So if you have any ideas, please tell me. Please review as well.
