Emma's POV:

"Breakfast!" Tyler yells from down stairs. It's been 2 days since the Joshua incident. I haven't slept.. Eaten or really smiled since then.. Why would he do this? I really thought he loved me.

I walk down the stairs and I see Josh and Tyler.. Tyler scratches his head and shrugs. I go to walk back up but Tyler yells "wait!" I look back and josh gets up. He turns around and he looks horrible.. His hair is everywhere and his eyes are more than his hair. I turn around fully and sit on the third step. I begin to ball my eyes out.

Josh hurries over and tries to comfort me but I push him away and start to shake in fear of him turning against me again.

"Please Emma I won't ever hurt you ever again." He starts to cry..

But he isn't hurt like you.

"Emma please I.. I hate myself for what I've done. I didn't mean to hurt you. It was stupid. I love you so much I can't even explain for my actions. I hate myself god damn it I just want to hold you."

I look up... What a mess.. Why have we become so emotionless and mean. What happened to us.

"Joshua. P-please." I begin to feel sick and dizzy.

Tyler rushes over and pulls me into his lap.
"Shh shh. It's okay Emma."
I get up and hug Josh
Tyler is confused but I need his Embrace.

Josh picks me up, brings me upstairs and lays me down on the bed.

He cuddles me and starts to hum "lay me down by: Sam smith."

'Yes I do I believe
That one day I will be
Where I was right there
Right next to you

And it's hard
The days just seem so dark
The moon and the stars
Are nothing without you

Your touch, your skin
Where do I begin?
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you

Deny this emptiness
This hole that I'm inside
These tears
They tell their own story

Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you
You.'
