LUCAS’ POV.

I pulled on a sweatshirt after taking a warm shower, and looked at the lotion Emily gave me. I would have preferred not to use it, but Emily would think I didn’t like it, and that wasn’t the case.

Keeping it safe and pretty for when I wanted to remember my most beautiful new year was my intention.

Shortly, someone knocked.

“Come in.” I said, applying the lotion onto the back of my palm.

“Happy New Year.”

I turned to look at John as I massaged the lotion onto my hands.

“Smells nice.” He said, and I looked at my hands. “You don’t use this kind of stuff. Who gave it to you?” He asked, coming closer to me.

“Someone.” I replied, sitting in the chair, trying to clear my desk.

“Someone I know?” He asked, and I focused on clearing the desk. He took the lotion and studied it. “Seeing that you don’t want to reply, and also seeing that this is exactly the kind of thing Emily likes to receive as gifts, I’m guessing she gave it to you. Because there’s no way you’ll know exactly wha

    183EMILY’S POV.Lucas and I packed up our things.“Did I forget anything?” I asked anxiously, sweeping my eyes over all the things in our room.“Relax. If you forget anything, you can always buy it.” Lucas said, dropping a kiss on my cheek, as he passed by to get his phone.“Why do I just have this feeling that I’m forgetting something?” I asked again. “Ah! It’s killing me.”“It’s just what happens to everyone when they’re traveling for the first time. Relax. It’s just two weeks.”“I know, but everything has to be perfect for our honeymoon.”“And you’ve been thinking about forgotten things for almost an hour.” He said, closing up the large traveling bag we had dropped our basic necessities in. He wheeled it out of the room.“Lucas!” I whined.“I’m done baking!” Dahlia said downstairs, to the kids who were watching movies.“Dahlia’s the best baker! Her honey cookies are dope.” Sadie said.“I’m glad she’s now living here. I need these things.” Derella said, snatching a muffin from Dere

    182EMILY’S POV.I woke up the next morning, and squeezed my eyes shut due to the amount of light coming from the open window. Still with my eyes closed, I smiled because I could already hear him humming.I sat up, and opened my eyes lazily, pushing my messy curls out of my face. Lucas was on the sofa. Apparently, he had ordered clothes for us, and was checking them out.“How can you look beautiful even with a puffy face?” He asked, and I chuckled.“You came just yesterday, but I’ve already produced a thousand smiles, when I couldn’t produce up to fifty in the past year.” I said, cocking my head to the side, and he looked up.“Keep smiling, Emily. You’ve cried enough.”I was discharged that day, and I forced Lucas into wearing a dull cream couple hoodie with me, and white joggers. I wanted everyone to see him, and know he was my man. For no reason, I’d just stare at him, and smile. He was everything to me.Everyone had breakfast together, and surprisingly, the table wasn’t dull like I

    181LUCAS’ POV.The doctor left me worried, and I paced around, hoping Emily would be fine. After half an hour, Mira sat me down, held my hand, and looked into my troubled eyes.Maybe I should have come sooner. If I had come sooner, maybe I’d have been able to take her away safely before approaching John.“What if she doesn’t make it?” I asked, desperate to hear something positive. Even if she lied, I was willing to take it, as long as it was positive.“Look at me, Lucas. You don’t know what Emily has braved. She will definitely pass through this. If at all, just to see you, and stay with you. Emily is very much in love with you, and will do anything to stay with you, so you just calm down, and relax. She won’t leave.” Mira assured me.Will patted me on my shoulder, and got up. “Lucas, be strong. We will all have a drink together, and talk. Welcome back. I really wanted to stay, and talk, but something came up. You don’t mind if I leave first, do you?” He asked, and I shook my head.“

    180LUCAS’ POV.My eyes widened as Emily fell against me.“Emily!” I held her belly, which was bleeding, and took off my coat. It seemed to be a little too big to tie around her securely, but I wrapped it around her tightly. She coughed, and blood spilled down her mouth, dribbling down her chin.Her whole face was contorted in pain, twisting as she groaned. Her bloodied hand held on to my white shirt, and she squeezed, trying to hold on.“I got you… I got you….” I said, still trying to stop the bleeding.My heart was racing, and cold sweat rolled down the side of my face. John had actually done it. He had dared to shoot Emily.“It’s… it’s not my fault. You made me shoot her.” John said, in a terrified voice. “You did. You did, Lucas. You killed her. You should have just left…”“Agh…” Emily groaned.“I’ll call the ambulance. I’ll call them. Just let’s stop this bleeding. It’s too much.” I said, terrified, in a trembling voice.If Emily happened to leave me. I didn’t think I’d be able t

    179EMILY’S POV.The look on John’s face was one of glee, as he narrated his horrible story.“It’s over! It’s over when I click this.” He bragged, then began to laugh. “Lucas, what happened to your face.” He laughed again. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost. Why? You don’t like this? I get it, I really do. You’re just reuniting with your lover after spending over a year apart, but now she’s about to be blown into bits and pieces.”Slowly, he moved backwards. “Don’t move, Lucas. It won’t take me a second to click on this. Make a move, and I’ll run. Right before you catch me, I’ll click on the remote, and blast her.” He threatened, and Lucas held me closer. I looked at him.There was fear on his face, and I hated that look on him. His worry played in his eyes as he glanced from the remote in John’s hands, to John himself. His brain was probably running at fifty miles per second.“You can’t do anything, Lucas. It is my turn to watch fear alive in you. Just go back. No one wants you here.

    178EMILY’S POV.“Emily.” He called, and immediately bridged the gap between us, taking long strides towards me. He took the gag off my mouth, hastily, then stared deeply into my eyes, his pupils darting from left to right.“Have you… have you been well?” I asked, as my eyes watered once more. “Have you… have you been fine?” My voice wobbled terribly. “I’ve been waiting… I’ve been waiting for a long time.” I said, not wanting to burst into tears. Once more, I was seeing him. I was in front of him, and he was in front of me.His eyes spoke volumes, and so did mine. He was the only one in the room; the only one I could see. Slowly, he nodded, and his eyes watered, as he pulled me to him.My whole face crumpled, and squeezed as I wrapped my arms around him.“I’m here.” He said, but I only wrapped my arms around him tighter, like he was going to run, going to disappear on me. “I’m not going anywhere, Emily. I’m sorry. I…”“It was hell, Lucas.” I whispered.“You don’t have to say a thing.
