 I Will Love You More Than Death pt. 4

Emily P.O.V. 

I can't believe summer is almost over! My senior year starts in just a few days, and I'm so nervous. I guess I just feel this immense pressure to go to colledge once I graduate. But honestly, I don't know if I wanna go to colledge. Maybe I could just take some writing courses online, I wanna be wherever Kieran is. I've been helping him a lot this summer, we've been booking gigs for him together. He's played at the coffee shop, the pizza place, the mall, but my favourite place is coming up on Friday! Kieran is performing at the park! Our favourite place to be, I booked him to play at the end of summer festival! It's gonna be awesome! He has been working so hard, writing songs, and trying to promote them with flyers we've hung up around town. I even suggested he try selling some of his CDs in the music store! And people have even bought them! I am so proud of him. I'm on my way over to his house right now, he texted me saying he had a surprise for me! Which I'm very curious about. I arrived at his house, and knocked on his door. It immediatly opened, and there was my handsome boyfriend, smiling so big! My heart melted, and I smiled back. "Baby! You're here! Come on." He said, pulling me inside. He led me up to his room, and I had a seat on his bed. "So you know, how I've been working on some new songs?" He asked me, picking up his black electric guitar. "Yeah, and they're really good babe! I'm so proud of you!" I said to him. He blushed, then kissed my forehead. "Thank you baby, and well there's a song I wrote for you. I know I write a lot of songs for you, but our 1 year anniversary is coming up and I wanted to write something special." He said, and my heart started pounding. I swear this boy was so sweet. I sat crossed legged, with an eager expression on my face. "Okay, it's not done yet, but I have the first verse and part of the chorus done." He said rambling cutely. "I'm sure it's lovely babe, now sing for me!" I said, and giggled. He chuckled nervously, then started strumming. 

Kieran's Song-Guardian Angel

We met one year ago

Little did I know

That you would be the best damn thing that ever happened to me

Now here we are, the greatest love story

I never thought that you would save me

Never thought that I could fall this hard

But I know this girl, could help me get this far

Because you lift me when I am down

I am so thankful that you're around

When I'm with you I know that I belong

And in the end, you're my best friend

You fill my heart with song

You saved my life, a million times

Like a guardian angel

You're my guardian angel

When Kieran put the guitar down, I was full on crying. Of all the songs he's written for me, this has to be my favourite. "Oh, baby. I didn't mean to make you cry." He said, taking my hand in his. "It's just so beautiful, I love you so much." I said, through the tears. "I meant every word of it, you have saved me baby girl, my rose, my muse." He said, as he hugged me. "The whole world is gonna know your name one day, but no matter how famous you become. You'll always be mine." I told him. "Your support means everything to me baby, I'm so happy you love the song." He said, kissing me. "This song is so special, I'm not even gonna perform it. This is just our song, okay?" He told me, looking deep into my eyes. "I like that, our song." I agreed. "So are you nervous about the festival on Friday?" I asked him. "Yeah, actually. There might be some people from record companies out there. I hope I'm good enough for them." He said. "I know you're good enough, you've worked so hard for this. And they're gonna see that." I told him. "I love you so much babygirl." He said, as he picked me up and swung me around. "I love you more." I told him. He showed me the other songs he's been working on, and Kieran is so talented. I just know he's gonna get signed, and be a huge star one day. "Hey babe? could I review some of these for you?" I asked. I've been doing that more for him recently, I actually enjoy it. I've always loved writing, but writing music reviews has been so rewarding and fun! Especially the ones I do for my boyfriend. "Of course you can baby! Here, I'll give you these to take home with you. And you can write them up for your blog! I'll be reading them, I promise." I kissed him on the cheek, before thanking him. Then placed his sheet music, and the CD in my bag. "When I finish our song, I'll give you a copy of it. Promise." He said. I spent the rest of the day, listening to Kieran practice his set for Friday. Falling more and more in love with him. 

Kieran P.O.V.

Today is the day, I'm performing at the end of summer festival at the park! I'm so nervous, but knowing that Emily has so much faith in me helps me get through it. The festival isn't until tonight, so I have some time to prepare. I also have a date with my girl, we're gonna go check out the preparation for the festival. I arrive at her place, and knock on the door. "Hey baby! Ready to go?" I ask, as my rose answers the door. "Hey babe! Yup just let me grab my bag!" She says, as she ducks back inside. "Okay lets go!" She says, as she grabs my hand and we start running to my car. When we get to the park, everything looks really cool. There's a ferris wheel, some games, like the water shooting game where you fill a balloon with water until it bursts. There's a cotton candy stand, a hot dog stand, a pizza stand, a candy kiosk. A small roller coaster, and then I saw the stage! It was awesome, they were setting up the chairs and the lights. I walked over to it, to get a closer look. "Hey guys, the stage looks great!" I tell the crew. "Hey thanks man, we're almost done setting it up." The dude working on the lights, says. "I'm performing here tonight, you know!" I tell them. "Oh nice, well have a good set dude!" He says, giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks man!" I tell him. "Come on baby, let's go over to the skate ramps." I say to Emily, as we walk over there. I do some tricks and skate around, while Emily writes. Every once in a while, she looks up at me and smiles. I love her so much. When I finish, I walk over to her and sit down next to her. "Hey, what you writing?" I ask, as I put my arm around her. "Actually I'm reviewing one of your songs right now." She says proudly. "Oh really? Can I see?" I ask. "No! It's not done yet." She says, hiding her notebook. "Okay, okay. Show me when it's done ok?" She nods, and kisses me. After the park, it was getting close to show time. Emily and I were getting ready, I decided to wear my black skinny jeans, a black button up shirt, the choker she got me, it was a tattoo choker with a guitar pic charm. My studded belt, and bracelets, and my combat boots. I finished my look off with my classic black eye liner, then grab my guitar. I was picking up Emily, so we could walk to the park together. When I get to her house, she's waiting for me on the porch. When she stood up, I think my heart stopped. She looked stunning! My mouth dropped open, at the vision of beauty before me. Emily doesn't wear dresses very often, she usually wears a skirt. But this time, she had on this beautiful black dress, with a ruffled skirt, and shredded tights, she had on some long fishnet gloves, with silver studded cuffs. She had a skeleton hand hair clip placed in her hair, a skull choker, and a necklace that had a moon charm on it. Instead of her usual converse, she had these really cute little black boots with a slight heel on them. "Wow! Baby, you look gorgeous!" I told her, finding my voice again. Emily blushed, and shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thanks babe, and you look very handsome." She said, caressing my cheek. "Shall we, my lady?" I asked, offering my arm. "Hehe, we shall!" She said. Emily and I made our way toward the park, when we arrived the place looked awesome! The street lights were on, and everything looked so pretty. When got to the stage, it was perfect! The lights were all set up, and the chairs had been put out. They even had a banner on the top of the stage, that said End Of Summer Festival. "I can't wait to perform tonight!" I said excitedly. "I can't wait to watch you perform!" Emily said, kissing my cheek. "Are you sure, you'll be okay being in the crowd alone?" I asked her. Emily has a hard time with crowds, and all the noises. I'm worried it might be too much for her. "Don't worry babe, I came prepared!" She said, as she pulled her headphones from her bag. "Awesome." I told her, kissing her forehead. I dropped off my guitar backstage, and Emily and I went to play some games before the concert. "For you my love." I said, handing Emily a plush dinosaur I won for her at the water game. "Oh, it's so cute! Thank you babe!" She said, kissing my cheek. "Anything for my baby." I told her, kissing her hand. She blushed and flashed that smile I love so much, I'm so in love with her. "I'm gonna call him, Little Foot, after the character from The Land Before Time." She said. I kissed her forehead, and we headed back to the stage. "I gotta go set up, are you sure, you're gonna be okay?" I asked her. "I'll be fine babe, you go knock them dead!" Emily said, before hugging me. "I love you baby." I told her. "I love you too, you're gonna be great!" She said. I headed backstage, setting up my guitar. 

Emily P.O.V

l'm standing in the crowd, waiting for Kieran to take the stage. All the other acts, have been pretty good. But I'm here to see my man, blow the crowd away! The lights start flickering, and I know it's his turn! I see him, handsome as ever. He walks out on that stage, and takes the mic. "Hello everybody! We all having fun out there?!" He yells to the crowd, and everyone cheers. Including me, I yell louder than everybody else. "My name is Kieran Danson, and these are some new songs I wrote!" He says, as he begins to play. My boyfriend sure knows how to cammand a stage, he's amazing up there! I know this is what he should be doing with his life, Kieran was born to perform. "Woo! That's my boyfriend!" I shout, and Kieran looks at me and winks. I put my hands to my heart, and swoon. He's playing so well, and his voice is so good! But the crowd starts to get rowdy, and I find myself caught up in the mess. The lights and sounds start to blend together, and I know I'm going into a sensory overload. My breathing gets rapid, and I start stimming a lot. Eventually it gets too much, and I end up sitting on the ground rocking while holding my headphones. I start to cry, and I just want this to be over. "Hey! Give her some space!" I faintly hear someone shouting, but I can't see who it is. "Get away from her! Move!" I hear the voice again, and I feel someone put their hand on my shoulder. I jerk away, because it's so much for me to handle right now. "Baby, it's me, you're okay. I'm here." I think it's Kieran, but I can't make him out. "Here, baby, let's love away from the stage." I feel him lift me up, and he carries me to a bench far from the stage. "There we go, try to breathe babygirl, it's okay." I try to match his breathing, and I start to calm down. "There we go, you're doing so well baby. That's it." He tells me, and slowly I come out of my sensory overload. "There's my girl, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." He says looking down. I can't speak right now, because that took a lot out of me. So I just lift his head up to face me, and try to give him a look that says it's not his fault. "Still, I'm so sorry this happened." He said. I hug him, letting him know that it's okay. I take out my notebook, and write something down to show him. "Thank you for getting me out of there." He read. "Oh baby, of course. And it's okay, that you can't talk right now. I won't push you, come here." He says, pulling me close. I always feel so safe in his arms, and he gently strokes my hair. I write something else down. "You were amazing up there, on that stage." "Oh thank you baby, it felt good to be up there." He said. Kieran took me home, and we cuddled on my bed for awhile. In comfortable silence. I had my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat. It always calmed me down, and helped me relax. I also held Little Foot, for extra comfort. When I was able to speak again, I whispered. "I wanna get a tattoo." Kieran looked down at me, and smiled. "Oh yeah? What were you thinking of getting?" He asked me, as he gently stroked my arm. "I was thinking a butterfly." I said. I love butterflies, and I thought a blue one would be really pretty. "Ooh, that would be really nice, where did you wanna get it?" He asked me. "My forearm." I said, showing him where I mean. "It will look beautiful on you baby." He said kissing my hair. "Of course, I'll go with you, it's your first tattoo. I know how anxious you get with new situations, I'll be there to help you through it. I promise." He said, kissing my cheek. Suddenly Kieran's phone rang. He answered it. "Hello? Yes this is Kieran Danson." He said. "Oh, thank you, that's really nice." He said. "For real?! You're not messing with me?" I wondered what was going on. "Yes! Of course! I'll be there! Oh, can I bring my girlfriend with me?" He asked. "Great! I can't wait to tell her!" He said, before writing something down. "Okay, great! I'll see you then!" Then he hung up his phone. "Baby! Guess what?!" He said excitedly. "What?" I wondered. "There was a talent agent, at the show tonight! She works for this big record company, and she wants to sign me! I'm getting a record deal!" He said. "Oh My God! Babe this is amazing! I'm so proud of you!" I told him, tackling him to the bed. "Thanks my love, I'm so excited! This is my first step, to being a rockstar!" He said. "You'll always be my rockstar." I told him, kissing his lips. "I love you so much my guardian angel." He told me, taking my hand in his. "I love you more, my rockstar." I said to him, before snuggling back into his arms. 

Kieran P.O.V.

Today is the day! I'm getting a record deal, and I feel good about this one! I know my last opportunity for one, did not turn out great. But something about this one, feels right! Emily is coming over, before we head to the appointment. I hear a knock at the door, and I know it's her! "Baby! You're here!" I said, pulling her in for a hug. "Hehe, hey babe! Do I look okay? I wasn't sure how to dress for this meeting." She said, looking down at her outfit. Emily always looks beautiful in anything she wore, and what she was wearing right now was perfect! "It looks great, baby. It's perfect!" I tell her, kissing her cheek. "Thank you, well lets go!" She says, as she drags me to the street. I love how enthusiastic she is about this, it makes me feel more sure of everything. We meet up with the talent agent, in the park. We all sat down at one of the pinic tables. The talent agent was a blond woman, her hair was tied up in a bun, she was wearing a black pantsuit, with black heels, and had black rimmed glasses. She was holding a clip board. "Hello, Kieran right?" She said, holding out her hand to shake. "Yup that's me, thank you for meeting with us. This is my girlfriend Emily." I said introuducing my love. "Nice to meet you as well, and your beautiful girlfriend." She said. Emily blushed, and kind of hid behind me. "Emily is autistic, so she might not reply back to you." I said, gently squeezing Emily's hand to comfort her. "Oh that's alright dear, I'm still happy you came." The talent agent said. Emily smiled. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Amanda Jacobs." She said. "As you know I'm a talent agent, for a big record label. Maybe you've heard of it? It called Broken Heart Records." As soon as Amanda said that, I was floored. "No way! The Broken Heart records?! You guys have signed so many amazing emo artists!" I said, excitedly. "And I plan on adding one more name to that list." Amanda said with a wink. I smiled. This could be the start of my music career! "Now, I know you're still in school. So we'll take that into consideration." Amanda said, as she jotted notes down on her clip board. "And because you're still under 18, I'll need to ask your parents some questions about things." She said. "Oh, it's actually just my mom, I only live with her." I said. "Oh okay, no problem. Do you mind if I call her up?" She asked. I nodded, and gave her my mom's number. While Amanda was on the phone with my mom, I turned to Emily. "I think it's going really well." She whispered to me. "Me too, this could be huge for us!" I said. But then Emily looked down, and turned away from me. "Hey, what's wrong babygirl?" I asked her. "It's just, what am I gonna do? You're gonna be this huge star, and I'm just gonna be left behind." She said. "Hey, you are not gonna be left behind. You're gonna come with me on tour, and you're always gonna be by my side." I told her. "But I wanna be more, than just your girlfriend. I wanna do something." She said. Then I had the best idea ever! "I've got it! What if I ask Amanda, if you could have a job as my official song reviewer?!" Emily's face lit up, and she smiled. "You would really do that for me?" She asked. "Of course babygirl, you are a fantastic writer. The world show know that." Emily hugged me, and I kissed her head. Amanda hung up with my mom, then turned back to us. "Okay, everything is confirmed with your mom. She said, you need to finish school." I nodded understanding. "But she seemed really happy for you." I smiled, my mom was always supportive of this dream of mine. I really appreciate it. "That's great!" I said. "Hey Amanda, could my girlfriend have a job?" I asked her. "Well, that depends. What kind of job?" She asked. "Emily is a very talented writer, she writes reviews of my songs. And she's so good at it! Is there any way she could do that professionally for me?" I asked. "Hmm, I'll have to see some of her work." Amanda said. "No problem!" I said. Emily pulled up her blog, and showed Amanda. She was looking over one of her reviews, very carefully. Emily was so nervous, she started to stim a little violently. I gently grabbed her hand, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She calmed at my touch. "Well, Emily. Your boyfriend was right, you are a very talented writer." Amanda said, smiling at her. Emily blushed. "You also seem to know your stuff, when it comes to song structure. That's always a good factor to have." Emily nodded. "I think I could give you a job doing this. You are now officially Kieran's personal writer." Emily clapped excitedly, and signed Thank You with her hands. "You're welcome dear." This was amazing, not only was my dream coming true. But I get to live out my dream with my girlfriend, and she now has an incredible career as well! This could not get any better! "So, we'll finalize a couple things. You let me handle the paperwork, and once you graduate. Consider yourself a member of Broken Heart Records!" Amanda said. "Thank you, thank you so much!" I told her. "No problem, I will see you in June." She said, then walked off to her car. 

Emily P.O.V.

I am so incredibly proud of my boyfriend! After we graduate, Kieran and I are going to be in the music business! This doesn't feel real! But then reality got in the way, because our first day of senior year starts today. I am so not looking forward to going to school, school for me is like I'm in a constant state of panic. I'm anxious all the time when I'm there, it's very draining for me. Physically and mentally, when I get back home. I'm usually too tired to anything that requires brain activity, but somehow I still manage to get my homework done on time. At least I have Kieran to help me through it, he's so sweet. We meet everyday at break at our lockers, before we head off for lunch. He asks me, how I'm doing. Then we walk to class to together, usually holding hands. He offers to carry my books, and tells me how pretty I look. I also compliment him, because he's so handsome! Anyway, I'm on my way over to his right now. We're gonna walk together, like we always do! I knock on his door, and there he is. "Hey beautiful! Mwah!" He says, as he kisses my cheek. "Hey babe." I say back. "Ready for school?" He asks me. I shake my head. "Hey, it's gonna be okay baby. You have that awesome pass now, whenever you feel like you need to. You can flash that pass, you can go hang out in the sensory room." He reminds me. "Plus, I'll meet up with you at break. And in between classes, to make sure you're doing okay." He says, squeezing my hand. I nod, knowing he's right, then we make our way to school. When arrive, and go inside. I'm already overwhelmed with how many people are in the hallways, I begin to stim and my heart picks up speed. But then, I feel a hand on my shoulder. It's Kieran, telling me I'm okay. "Hey baby, I'm right here. I'll be with you, until we have to go to class." He said, taking my hand. I nod, and we head to the front desk to pick up our schedules, and our locker numbers for the year. "Okay my love, this is your first class. Do you have your plushie? And your fidgit?" Kieran asks me, before we depart. "Yup, I'm gonna miss you." I say. "Aww, I'll miss you too baby. I'll meet you at the lockers, it's great that they're right beside each other again!" He says happily. "Yeah, it's perfect! Have a good class babe." I tell him, before kissing his cheek. "You too my rose, I love you!" Kieran says. "I love you too!" I say back, before he walks away. I walk into my first class, and try my best to be brave, and to use my resources to get through it. This class actually sounds fun, it's a singing class! I don't sing very often in front of Kieran. But I do sing when I'm alone, and I do love it! I take a seat near the middle row, and put my headphones around my neck. I place my bag down beside me, and reach my hand inside to pet my dino plush for comfort. I take a deep breath, and wait for the teacher to instruct us. I actually end up enjoying the class, and when it's over I can't wait to tell Kieran about the song we're learning. I meet up at our new lockers, and wait for him. Someone next to me, slams their locker closed. And it scares me, I put my headphones on and try to breathe. It was really loud. Then I see my amazing boyfriend, turning the corner. "Baby!" He says, running up to me and giving me a deep pressure hug. He knows those help me calm down, and relax. I squeeze him back just as tight. "Hey babe!" I say, looking up at his beautiful eyes. "How was class? Were you okay? To be honest I was worried about you." He said, brushing my hair back. "Class actually wasn't too bad, and it's sweet that you worried about me." I say, kissing his cheek. "I'm glad class went well for you, I wish mine had been better." He says. "Did something happen?" I ask. "No, it was just boring. And I missed you." He says, winking. "Aww, hehe." I say with a giggle. "I missed you too." I whisper back, and he blushes. Another class goes by, and then it's lunch. Kieran and I both hate the cafeteria food, so we usually pack our own lunches. After we grab our lunch bags, we head out to the pinic tables on campus. Kieran knows the cafeteria makes me anxious, plus it's still nice enough outside, that we can enjoy the warmth, and the sunshine while we eat. "You would not believe, what happened in music class." Kieran said, as he took a bite of his sandwich. "What?" I ask, bewildered. "Okay, so this guy Ryan. He sits in the back of the class, he's kind of moody, and doesn't really talk to anyone." Kieran says, kind of describing how he used to be. "Anyway, we were grabbing our instruments, and when he got up to get his keyboard, he tripped over one of the guitar cases, and fell into the cymbols." Kieran, said trying not to laugh. "I know, it shouldn't be funny. But the whole class was laughing, and I did feel bad for the guy. But it was like, something out of those fail videos online." Kieran said, chuckling a little bit. "I love your laugh." I say, swooning. "Aww thanks baby." He says kissing my cheek. "I'm in a vocal class." I said. "Oh really? That's wonderful!" He says. "Yeah, I actually really enjoyed it." I say. "The song we're doing, is Helena by MCR! One of our favourites!" I say, happily. "No way! That's so cool! Could you sing a little something for me, right now?" He asks. I look away nervously. "Oh baby, I'm sorry. You don't have to, if you're not comfortable." He tells me, placing his hand on mine. "No, I, I want to." I say. He gives my hand a squeeze, and I take a deep breath. "What's the worst, that I can say? Things are better if I stay, so long and good night. So long and good night." I sang. Kieran looks at me, and he has his mouth hanging open. "Um, was that okay?" I ask, a little unsure. "Oh My God! I had no idea you could sing like that!" He says, with a huge smile on his face. He looks so shocked, and surprised. But I know it's a good shocked and surprised. "Baby, you're voice is beautiful! You should sing more." He tells me, pulling me into his chest. "Thanks love." I tell him. "Hey, would you like to do a duet with me? There's this song I've been working on, and I think it should be done as a duet." He says, with that sparkle in his blue eyes. "You really want me to record a song with you?!" I ask, in disbelief. "Of course I do, baby! What do you say?" He asks. I think about it, and it would be pretty cool to do a song with him. "Okay! Let's do it!" I say. And his face lights up! "Awesome, this is gonna be so good!" He says. And I giggle at how cute he gets when he's excited about stuff. "You're so cute." I tell him. "Aww thanks, but seriously you're the cute one my rose." He says, as he kisses my hand. I blush, and playfully push him away. "You're a dork, hehe." I tell him. And he smiles. I love the way he smiles. We were talking about, how awesome the record deal is gonna be. When someone walks by, and knocks my headphones off. "Emo freaks!" They shout at us. Kieran picks up my headphones, and gives them back to me. "Hey, say that to our faces, you jerk!" Kieran shouts back. "You wanna make something of it Danson?" He says. "You don't mess with my girl like that!" Kieran shouts, and places a protective hand on my arm. "Why shouldnt I? You know she's just dragging you down!" The guy says. "Oh that's it, no one talks about my girl like that!" Kieran says, and he goes running over to the guy. "Kieran, wait! Don't do anything stupid!" I yell towards him. "I'd listen to your pathetic girlfriend, because I'm gonna mess you up!" The guy said, pounding his fists together. "We'll see about that, and she's not pathetic! Emily is the best thing that ever happened to me!" He said, before the guy punched Kieran in the gut and he went down. "KIERAN!!!" I shout in fear. "Emily stay back, I don't want you to get hurt!" Kieran shouts at me. I do as he tells me, even though I'm terrifed. The boys get into it, Kieran punches and kicks the bully. But the bully is bigger and stronger than Kieran, and send him to the ground. He repeatedly kicks Kieran in the side, and I swear I hear bones cracking. I can't bear to watch, so I cover my face. Eventually the principle notices what's happening, and comes out to break up the fight. "Hey, hey, that's enough!" Principle Reid says. "You, my office now!" She says to the bully. "You okay, Kieran?" She asks, leaning down in front of him. "N-no." He says weakily. "Hang on, I'll call an ambulance." She says, dialling her phone. 

Kieran P.O.V.

I was in horrible pain, my sides felt like they were on fire. My head hurt, I knew for sure I was bleeding. I could barely move, but then I feel a gentle hand brushing my hair from my face. I try to look up to see who it is, but I wince when I move my head. "You're gonna be okay, babe. You're gonna be okay." I know that voice, it's Emily! Oh my God, she must be so scared. "I'm, I'm okay babygirl." I try to reassure her. "No, you're not! You're very badly hurt!" She says, and I know she's crying. My heart breaks, at how scared she sounds. I hear sirens in the distance, and before I know it an ambulance pulls up. Two paramedics come over to me, and help me onto a stretcher. "Who are you, young lady?" One of them asks Emily. "That's my girlfriend, Emily. She's autistic, and very scared right now. So please be gentle with her." I say, through ragged breaths. "Okay, Emily. We're gonna do everything we can to help your boyfriend okay?" The first paramedic says, as he crouches down next to her. I can barely see, as my vision becomes blurry. But Emily seems calmer, and she walks over to me. We get inside the ambulance, and it drives away. I slip into unconciousness, but I still feel a warm and gentle hand on my hand. I know she's there, I wish I could squeeze her hand back, to let her know everything's okay. When I woke up, there were bright lights. I heard a beeping sound, and someone sobbing quietly. I tried to sit up, but everything hurts. "Ah, Ow." I said, wincing and breathing heavily. When I was fully awake, I look over to my right. I see her, Emily. She's crying quietly, in the chair next to my bed. That's when I notice, I'm in the hospital. And I remember what led me here, God that guy was such a jerk. "Emily?" I call out to her, but my voice is a little rough. "Emily? Can you hear me?" I call out to her again, she turns around. She looks so sad, it breaks my heart. "Babe?" She asks, caustiously. "Hey baby, it's me." I tell her. "I was so scared." She says, and her hands are shaking. "I know, babygirl. But I'm okay now, I promise. I'm still in a lot of pain. But I'm better than I was." I tell her. She takes my hand in hers, careful of my IV line. She squeezes it, and I squeeze it back. "Does it hurt really bad?" She asks, concerned. "I won't sugar coat it, it does really hurt. Everytime I breathe too deeply it hurts." I tell her. "Well, the doctor did say you have a couple broken ribs." She tells me. Well that explains why my sides feel like they're on fire. "I must look like a wreck huh?" I ask, trying to make light of the situation. "You could never look bad, you're still my handsome sweet boyfriend." She said, stroking her thumb over my hand. "Thank you baby." I said, a small smile coming to my face. "Ah, ow. Ow." I said. I was shifting a little, and it hurt my sides. "Are you okay?" Emily asked me, with concern in her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, just moved too fast." I said, my breathing heavy. "Can you do me a favour my rose?" I asked her. "Anything, what is it?" She asked. "Can you come here? I wanna lay down with my angel." I told her. She looked nervous, and hesitant. "I don't wanna hurt you." She said, nervously rubbing her hands. "Oh babygirl, you won't hurt me. It will be okay, just lay down gently. I'll guide you through it okay?" I told her. She nodded. I helped guide Emily, up on the bed, and she gently laid down next to me. I felt her snuggle into my chest, and she relaxed for the first time since I saw her. "Is this okay? I'm not hurting you am I?" She said softly. "No, no you're okay baby. This is perfect, I have my angel next to me." She smiled, and that right there made it all worth it. "My ribs may be broken, and my chest really hurts. But you keep my heart in tact always." I told her. Tears came to her eyes, and I was worried I said something wrong. "Baby, don't cry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." I told her, as I carefully wiped her tears with my thumb. "It's okay, it's just I love you so much." She said, snuzzleing into me. "Oh angel, I love you too. So much, which is why I protected you today. I hate the thought of anything bad happening to you, because I know you've already been through so much." I said, kissing her head. "I never want to see you get hurt by anything, you're so precious to me. I hope you know that." I said, hoping she knows how much she means to me. "You're precious to me too, it was so scary seeing you so hurt. I hate the thought of losing you." She told me, and more tears fell from her eyes. "Hey, hey. I'm here. I promise nothing is gonna happen to me, I love you my angel." I tell her, and kiss her head again. "I love you too my rockstar, you should rest now." She says, kissing my chest. "I will, but after you go to sleep. I wanna make sure, you're resting before I can." I say. "Okay." She agrees, and she closes her eyes. My chest, and lungs hurt too much to fully sing to her, but I still manage to hum a few bars. I know it relaxes her, and I softly stroke her hair. In this moment it's just us. God she's so beautiful, and so sweet. I would kill for her, I love her more than anything. When I know she's asleep, I kiss her and whisper "Goodnight my angel, sweet dreams." Then I drift off too.
