A/N OK, I know that I haven't updated in forever and I apologise for that (again) but I was hoping to update after Vegas but that didn't happen and then I was planning on updating at the start of the this year but I couldn't because we have been given our options, which is where we have to choose what subjects we want to do for our GSCE exams and we have had parent's evenings and everything so I couldn't but now I can. I will try and update this ASAP but with me starting some of my GSCE's now and some in May it's going to be hard. Anyway on with the story.

WILL'S POV

I walked out of Emma's room as happy as I could be Emma's alive. I thought to myself. After about 5 minutes of walking around Emma's ward I finally found Nurse Green.

I walked over to her and waited a few feet behind her as she was talking to a colleague. After her colleague left I walked up to her. I cleared my throat before speaking.

"Umm... Nurse Green?"

"Oh hello Will, you leaving so soon?" She asked.

"No, gosh no. I just wanted to say that Emma just woke up." I said excitedly as I could no longer contain how happy I was.

"Really?" Nurse Green asked. "Well that's great; I will be up to her room in about five minutes."

"OK, thanks." I said as I turned away.

I walked back to Emma's room and walked in, she was looking at me with the biggest smile I had seen in months.

"Nurse Green said she will be up soon." I said softly.

"OK, thank you Will." She spoke hoarsely, her throat still sore from not talking for a long time.

I knew I had to find out how she ended up in this coma but I didn't want to pressure her, I mean she only woke up 5 minutes ago! Perhaps I should talk to her, get all of my feelings out in the open once and for all. I took my seat next to her bedside and held her hand in mine.

"Emma, we need to talk, well you don't have to talk, you can just listen. I just really need to get all of this out in the open."

Emma didn't say anything, so I took as a sign to continue.

"I meant everything I said last summer, I really do love you and weather Carl likes it or not I'm going to fight for you because the feelings that I have for you well, I know you had them or still do have them for me and they don't just disappear into thin air. Sure you may love Carl, but I know that you are in love with me. I know I'm crossing a line but I don't care. I'm in love with you Emma and I have been since the first day we met even though I was with Terri. You have been through everything with me, you gave me advice when I needed it most and you have always been my best friend. I hate that we have lost all of it because of stupid mistakes that I made. I know you thought that I had sex with April but I didn't, she needed a place to stay so I offered her my couch but she just got into bed with me. All we did was sleep, well she slept, I was kept up all night with her kicking me. I don't know how you found out about that but I am so sorry, kissing Shelby was an even bigger mistake. I hope you can forgive me so we can be friends again. I know it's going to be hard for me, because I can't act on my feelings, not whilst you're with Carl, but for you I'll try. That's all I wanted to say."

I looked up at Emma and saw that she had tears streaming down her face.

"Emma, please don't care. I shouldn't have said all that, I was jus-" I was stopped mid sentence by Emma.

"Will, I'm crying because I'm upset by what you said, I'm crying because what you said was so sweet and thoughtful and loving."

I opened my mouth to speak but she stopped me.

"I think I need to talk now. Sue told me that you kissed Shelby and slept with April, she said that she bribed your landlord to put baby monitors in your apartment or something. I shouldn't of listened to her, I should've let you try to explain yourself instead of shouting at you in the teachers' lounge; you know, you're right. I am in love with you and I always have been, sure I loved Carl but I never loved him as much as I love you. That's actually why I'm here. Carl had told me that he had been cheating on me and whilst driving home I crashed. I do want to be with you Will, but we will have you take things slow and you have to promise me that you won't hurt me because I don't think that I could handle it."

By the end of Emma's 'speech' I had tears in my eyes. I got up from my seat and wrapped my arms around her small frame.

"I promise that I will never hurt you again. I promise to always take care of you and to love you with all my heart. And, I agree. We should take things slow and not rush into anything like last time." I said softly and then kissed her hair.

"Thank you Will." She replied.

"Oh and remind me to yell at Sue for bugging my apartment." I laughed softly.

"Will do." She laughed back.

I removed my arms from around her waist and dried her eyes with the pads of my thumbs when there was a knock at the door. It was Nurse Green.

"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting." The nurse said.

"No, not at all." I replied and smiled at Emma.

A/N Alright, another chapter done, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and now everything is out in the open with their feelings and things. I'm going to try and update this every Friday, because I hate making you all wait for almost 6 months. Also I'm hoping to write a two-shot fanfic so look out for it! Until the next chapter -x
