Thanks to Vicky for following once of my stories again! You rock!

Enjoy and review.

P.S.: DAMMIT! I dont know why chapters keep coming kind of short, I swear I'll try to write longer chapters!


"Miss Darling says you can come up" the receptionist said.

"Thanks"

I'd tried calling her all day long but she didn't answer. Giovanna convinced me that she wasn't ignoring me, that Emma was only sleeping as she sayd she would. At about 7p.m. she called me. I was on my way home by then but I changed my plans as soon as I heard her voice. By then, there was nothing I wouldn't do for her. I knocked on her door: room 303 on the tenth floor. It was a huge hotel.

"The door's opened" she said from inside.

I opened it and entered into a nice living-room. Thar hotel had to be expensive. There was also a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom, right where Emma was lying on her bed.

"Hi" she said and smiled. She had a sleepy face and was looking cutter than ever "You came really fast"

"Of course I did, I have to take care of you" I sat over the bed after taking my shoes off "Are you ok? You don't look too good"

"I've got fever, but it'll go away" she said "I ordered pizza"

"That sounds good... Emma, I'm sorry about the stupid fight we had. I don't even remember why I am supposed to be mad at you"

She smiled "I told you it was ok, I can't get angry with you"

"Well, you really shouldn't have said that"

"Don't try to take advantage of me, I can still kick your ass"

"Can you? You seem so weak lately and pale also. I'm worried about you"

"I dont want you to worry about me"

"You didn't want me to cut your barbie's head but I still did it"

"Yes, but I punched you quite hard for that"

I remembered that had hurt and she had forced me to replace her toy. That had being the very first time I bought something for her.

"Do you still have the teddy-bear I gave you?" I asked her.

"Of course, it's in that closet. I always take it everywhere with me"

I stood up and opened the closet; yes, the teddy-bear was right there, but there were also several different types of pills. A horrible feeling crossed my mind but I forcer myself to forget about it for at least now. I closed the closet's door and realized my heart was beating fast. As I laid down on the bed again, she moved closer to me and rested her head on my chest. I allowed myself to put my arms around her and felt as if I was the luckiest bastard ever.

"I need you around me, Dougie. Will you stay with me tonight?"

"I'll stay for as long as you like... Oh, though I've got to work in the morning"

She laughed "I understand. Will you come back later?"

"I'll always come back to you"


She was still sleeping when I left at 9a.m. She loked so beautiful, thought still so pale, I couldn't help worrying about her, this wasn't her usual skin-color.

As soon as I opened the door, a guy with a camera took a picture of me, kind of confusing me with the flash.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I said annoyed. Wasn't it too early to start bothering me?

"Sorry, I'm just doing my job" It annoys me so much when people's job is to brother other people. Stupid photographer...

I looked at him one last time and walked to my car. About twenty minutes later, I was on the recording studio. Only Tom was there; Harry was stuck in traffic and Danny was still in his house. Meanwhile, I told Tom all about the pills, the fever, the bruise, the bleeding... I was starting to believe this was what was wrong with her.

"Or maybe her immune system has been having problems, that's it" Tom said.

"I dont know, dude, it's weird..."

"I'll talk to her after work... You could get change meanwhile, I know you slept with her last night"

"How do you know that?"

"You are wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday, Doug..."

"Oh, right. I didn't sleep with her anyway. I dont know, I mean, I like her a lot but she's my best friend, it's complicated. I dont think telling her about my feelings is such a good idea"

"Maybe she's too much for you"

"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" I raced an eyebrow, getting a bit annoyed. I'd never thought Tom would ever say something like that to anyone yet he had just told me that, me, his best friend!

"Nothing, forget about it..." he smiled and Harry came in just a second later.

I drove home after work and took a long shower. Tom was with Emma by then and I was jealous, thought I felt stupid by that. I wanted to see her again. It was surprising how much I'd fallen in love in so little time... Though now I knew, I understood, that I had carried these feelings for many years, I'd been too blind and stupid to see it before.

The hot water felt incredible, thought not as much as Emma's skin. I felt as if everything reminded me of her. I had to do something about it, I couldn't take this anymore.

I walked to my bedroom and saw I had a new message in my cellphone; it was Emma saying that she was going out with Tom that night, that we would meet tomorrow. 'What the hell...' I thought once again annoyed 'Tom stold my girl!' I tried to call down, I was being stupid, Tom already had Giovanna and it was obvious that she was the one for him.

'Since when they are so close though?' I thought. Emma barely knew him and she usually spends a lot of time with someone before going out with them alone, this wasn't smething she would usually do.

What the hell was going on here?
