Emma lazily opened her eyes to find the sun shining on her. She looked around and almost forgot that she was back in her home. Her real home. Looking around, it felt like all her worries had been lifted up. She remembered all of her childhood memories and it seemed to lift the burden that seemed to compress her. But she knew that she had to get up and do something useful. She hurriedly changed her clothes and descended down the stairs. There she found her parents sitting in the dining room and she felt like a little kid again. How she always ran down the stairs and found her parents sitting in the exact same place they were sitting now.

"Hey pumpkin." Her dad stood up and walked towards the kitchen to grab her toast and orange juice, the exact same things she always ate for breakfast.

"Thanks dad." Emma smiled contently as she took a bite off of the toast.

"No problem."

Emma's mother looked at her. "Hey how would you like to work on a puzzle with me? You know how you always liked puzzles."

"Umm sure I guess."

"And then we could watch your favorite movie, My Fair Lady, because you know how you used to watch it every week."

"Then we could clean the whole house until it's spotless." Her father added.

Emma stared at both of them. She wasn't stupid and she knew that something was up. 'Why were they doing all of this?' Then it dawned on her. She remembered the faces that her parents had when she told them everything that has happened. When she used to go home, they would always be so eager to see her and hug her tightly. But right now, they looked like they were trying to avoid her. She felt like a glass figurine that with one touch, would have broken to pieces.

"Mom, dad. I'm not going to break. Is there something you want to tell me?

"Of course not silly. What are you even talking about?" her mother acted clueless.

"Mom! I know that you think that I'm going to fall any time, but I promise you that I'm not! I'm stronger that you give me credit for. I don't want you to act around me like I'm made of glass. I want you to act like you always do. Please! I really need that. I need some normality in my life and I can't have that when you're acting like this around me."

"Honey." Her dad stood up. "I'm really sorry. It's just that when you both told us all the things that had happened to you, we felt our hearts break. As parents, we're supposed to protect you everytime something dangerous comes near you. And the worst thing happened to you and we weren't even there to stop it. It just made us feel like we failed you. That we're failure as parents. I'm sorry for making you feel like that and I promise you that we'll do everything to make things normal but in our eyes, you're always that little girl."

"Dad. You didn't fail as a parent. If you did, I wouldn't have been strong enough to face this situation. You taught me everything about life and the dangers out there and you taught me how to be strong. Without that, I wouldn't have made it this far. So I wouldn't want you to ever think that."

"Em..."

"Shhh... Dad, I think we've had enough drama in our lives right now. How about we should all go to the carnival tonight? I think we should all have fun in our lives. I need something to clear my head and my life has kinda been a mess. I think that I should restart my life here. Where I spent my childhood with the most amazing parents ever."

Will was walking down the road. His car decided to break down at the most convenient time. He couldn't wait any longer and knew that he was almost to her town. After what seemed like forever, the sign of Welcome to Grundy, Virginia appeared. He sighed in relief and his heart rate started to go up. He couldn't wait to see Emma. He needed to let her know how much he cared about her. He walked alongside the stores and he realized that he didn't really know where she lived. He saw a grocery store and thought of asking them and he could have bought water as well. Once he retrieved those items, he came up to the cash register.

"That will be $2.00 sir." the man behind the register said.

"Here." Will looked at him and decided to ask him. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes sir?"

"Do you know where Bill and Maggie Pillsbury live?"

"Yes sir. How do you know them?"

"I'm Emma's boyfriend."

"Seriously! Wow that's really shocking. I didn't she'd even let other people touch her. That's great!"

"So, can you tell me where they live?"

"If you're her boyfriend, then how come you don't know where they lived?"

"Because something happened to Emma and she thought that she wasn't good enough for me and ran away and I'm trying to find her so I can tell her how much she means to me. Please."

"Okay. You see that stop sign on the end of the street?"

"Yeah."

"Take a right and once you reach the hardware store, take another right. Walk for about 2 miles and make a left. At the end of the street, you'll see a bunch of houses. The blue one with the old looking truck on the driveway is her house. Did you get that?"

"Yeah I got it. Thank you so much!"

"Hey, I hope everything works out for you."

"Thanks." Will walked out almost forgetting the water he just bought. He hurriedly walked out with a determined mindset thinking of what he was going to say to her when he got there.

Emma looked at the clock. It was almost 5:00. The carnival started at 5:15. She walked up to her parents and they were both ready to go. They headed out and Emma felt like that there was finally something in her life that was right.

They arrived to the carnival by foot as it was only 3 minutes from their house. She was first reluctant to do anything. Though she had been a lot better than she used to be, she could still see the invisible germs that covered the whole place. But with her parents by her side, she took a deep breath and allowed herself to be free and have fun. With no cares in the world at the moment, she allowed herself to do everything there was to do in a carnival. Carousels, roller coasters, pie throwing, etc. This was probably the first time in ages that she felt joyous and stupendous. There were no images of the man that burned her mind everytime she went so sleep or the man that still held her heart.

Will, exhausted, still keeps walking to get to the Pillsbury's house. For two hours, he's been walking continuously. Thinking right now, he should have asked the man to write down the directions and smacked himself for not thinking about it earlier. Just as he was going to sit down and rest on the curb, he spotted a suburban area. Immediately, he leaped to his feet and he felt a boost of energy in him. He ran across the street and looked sideways to try to find a blue house. He abruptly stopped when he saw an old looking truck and behind that truck was a blue, two-story house. Sighing, he walked along the grassy patch and with a deep breath, he knocked on the door. He ran the doorbell and knocked a couple more times but there was still no answer. Will scratched his head in frustration. He saw a crack in the blinds and looked through it. There was nobody there at all and Will took a couple steps backwards. He sat down on the rock and knew he had to wait for them to come back home.

Emma noticed that it was getting really dark but didn't want this night to end. Her parents were really shocked of how far she had gotten. They expected her to freak out but she never did. Sure, she had hesitated a couple of times, but she always went through it anyways. She and her parents headed home a couple of hours later. She was sad to see the day end so quickly but she felt satisfied on what this day had brought. They nearly reached the house when they spotted a man sitting on the rock in front of their house.

Will huffed. It was really late and he didn't know if they were even going to come home. He got up and looked at the streets one last time. He decided to find a hotel to stay in. He really wanted to see Emma today but she never showed up. With a grim mood, he started to walk away. Something stopped him though. A voice that sounded exactly like hers called his name. He turned around and saw her approaching him with a questioning look on her face. "Will?"

There you are. Sorry about another long wait. It's been a frustrating year in school so please bear with me. I hope you guys enjoy it. I promise you that there will be lots of Wemma next chapter. Please review!
