EMMA'SÂ POV
"Miss Emma! Please wake up." I heard someone call me.
I groaned and rubbed my eyes yawning.
I opened my eyes and saw that I was sitting on a chair near the hospital bed where Carl lay. My head was resting near his hand and a doctor was calling my name.
Oh wait he is calling me.
"Y-yeah doctor...is everything alright?" I asked getting up from the chair.
The young doctor smiled at me.
"Yes Miss. Everything is alright. The patient has started reacting to the treatment but we still don't know when Mr. Smith will wake up."
I looked at Carl's sleeping form. He looked calm. Like he had no worries at all.
"When will he wake up doctor? Can we do anything to bring him back to consciousness?" I asked with a worried expression.
The doctor gave me an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry dear. But we can't do anything. You can only pray to god for his well being."
I half smiled at him and nodded.
The doctor left the room.
God! Please give me my Carl back.
I sat near Carl holding his hand in mine.
I am here since yesterday and he has not shown any sign of waking up.
I puffed air out of my mouth.
The door of the room opened causing me to snap my neck in its direction.
I saw Aiden standing there with a bag in his hand.
He came in and sat besides me.
"Hey" I said.
"Hi. Um...I brought you some McDonald's in case you are hungry. I mean you are here since yesterday. You can go home and get freshed. I will stay here with him. Don't worry." He said handling me the bag.
He is right. I am hungry but I can't go home. I cannot leave Carl like this.
"You know you don't have to worry so much. He is a warrior and I know he will come back. Don't worry please and go home." He said reading my thoughts.
"I know...I know he w-will come b-back. But..." I was cut of by my own cries.
I started sobbing.
Aiden cupped my cheek and made me look at him.
His eyes showed worry.
"Emma...please don't cry. You don't look good while crying. And when you smile, you make everyone else around you smile. We need to be happy because that's what Carl wants. He will not like seeing you crying." Aiden said wiping my tears.
I nodded.
"My car is outside with the driver. You can go home now and come after lunch if you want. But don't worry. I am here." He said holding my shoulders.
"Yeah..I will go." I said and took the bag of McDonald's he brought while going out of the room.
I went home in the car Aiden told me to go. But my mind was still in the hospital. I feel helpless seeing Carl like this.
I was very hungry and so I ate the food Aiden brought on my way back.
Reaching home I was greeted by a worried Stella.
She said that Aiden had informed her of what happened and since then she is very worried about Carl and me.
She is like an elder sister I never got. I always wanted a sister but Tina was nothing but bad to me. But Stella is really good.
I took shower and changed my clothes.
I wanted to go to the hospital but Stella was not letting me go.
"You need rest Emma. You were there in the hospital night and I know you couldn't sleep entire night. So rest a little and you can go in the evening." She said stopping me from going to hospital.
I suddenly had a thought.
The doctor said that if I pray then God will help me. God will give Carl back.
But I never went to church.
What should I do?
I will ask Stella about it.
I looked at Stella who was cleaning the kitchen.
"Umm..Stella." I called her gaining her attention towards me.
"Yes dear." She said looking at me.
"Do you...do you go to church? Do you pray?" I asked nervously.
She smiled.
"Yes I go to church every sunday and I pray. Why do you ask?" She asked me.
"I..um..I want to pray. For Carl." I said looking down nervously.
"No need to ask dear. We will go to church tomorrow as it is sunday only." She said making me happy.
"Thank you Stella. You are very nice." I said hugging her.
She hugged me back.
"You know I can see the way you have started falling for Carl." Her words caused me to blush.
I started fidgeting with my fingers.
"Its okay. Carl loves you very much and I am happy you feel the same."
Do I really love Carl?
I like him very much and I care for him. Hell! I love him very much.
I love Carl.
AIDEN'S POV (before when emma left hospital)
I saw Emma's small figure leaving the room.
She was so innocent for our world.
She deserves a good and happy life. Not the one which Carl lives. His life is always at stake and until now he did not have any weakness but now, he has Emma.
Emma has become his weakness and somehow mine too.
I still remember when I saw Emma for the first time. She was so beautiful and fragile. I wanted to make her mine that instant. But I couldn't stop Carl from having her. He is the boss here.
I thought he will keep her safe, but I was wrong.
Carl's rivals have found out about Emma.
They will definetly try to harm her.
I can't let anything happen to this beautiful flower. She is too good to be hurt.
I know what I have to do. And I will do that.
I will take her somewhere away from this place. I will keep her safe and happy with me.
Afterall she is my little flower.
I don't care if Carl wants her for himself. He can't keep her safe and I can't leave her to be his.
I will have her. I will have my Emma.
I will take her with me.
