Broken

Chapter 14

Emily's Pov

Ugh!! One week of no school. What am I supposed to do in a week? Why the hell should the teachers go to a school board meeting for an entire week?

Okay, okay. I'm just pulling your leg. I'm super glad that there's a week of no school. Why? Well, for the simple fact that I don't have to see Mike nor Jessica.
So this week I'm going to the one place I enjoy going to.

Luke's Pov

I've been sitting on the couch for almost two hours, and I'm incredibly bored. That is until Emily came downstairs wearing something that I would have never expected her to wear.

"Where are you going?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Out," she said and walked out of the door.

I ran after her. Since our moms were at the house, I didn't bother locking. Emily got in her car and was about to drive away when I quickly got into the passenger seat.

"What are you doing?" She asked while looking at me. "I'm going with you. I have nothing to do," I stated, and she just sighed and drove away.

Emily's Pov

"Why are we at a children's hospital?" Luke asked, confused. "Just come on," I said and got out of the car and made my way over to the front entrance with Luke following closely behind.

"Emily!" Bella squealed as she saw me. She immediately ran up to me, and I lifted her as she wrapped her arms around my neck, and I wrap my arms around her small body.

"Hey, baby girl. How have you been?" I asked as I looked at her smiling face. "Great," she said happily.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Bella whispered as she pointed to Luke, sitting on a small chair, reading to all the kids there.

I smiled at the sight of him. "No, he's just a friend," I stated as I looked back at Bella.

Bella is truly the only friend I have. Her parents left her when she was three years old after she got cancer.

She's six now, and her cancer is vanishing if you could put it like that. She's healing so fast, but the doctors have only one problem.

When she's finally ALL better, she has to go to foster care. I honestly don't want to let her go. She like my baby sister.

She's truly the only one that keeps me from thinking about taking my own life. Just thinking about how she never gave up encourages me.

She's constantly telling me how excited she is about getting a family, but that breaks my heart. Bella is like my rock.

She keeps me from breaking apart. Every time I start having thoughts about hurting myself, Bella's face pops into my head. I could never do that to her.
