Stranded

~Forty Three~

Emmalyns POV

"Hey, there she is" said Peter coming up and kissing my cheek "I'm so sorry I couldn't come up to the hospital, work had me in deep" he said pulling me in for a hug

"Its okay" I said "I honestly am feeling a lot better than I did" I sighed sitting down on the couch

"Aright I have to get back to the hospital, Peter watch her please, make sure she takes he-" "-Her drugs I know" he said finishing dad's sentence

He sighed "antibiotics" he corrected and kissed both our cheeks and walked out

Peter sighed "What do you want to do?" he asked

I smiled "you don't want to know what happened?" I asked back 

He nodded making a funny face "Are you kidding? Of course I want to know, but you need rest and I know you probably don't want to talk about it so.." He said and shrugged

I laughed "your not wrong" 

He stood up "want anything?" he asked and I nodded "Uh my maroon sweater" I said and he nodded running up to grab it, he tossed it to me and walked to the kitchen then came out with my antibiotics and water

I put it on and take the drug and water from him

"Take one now and when you wake up in the morning" he paused  "I have work tomorrow, I'm sorry but I have to get up early" he said kissing my cheek 

"Its okay, what time is it?" I asked and he brought out his phone "6:40pm, work wants me in for 4:00am, its so dumb" he said making a face making me laugh

"Night" I said which he returned, and he closed his door 

It was really weird being back here, I was a little scared but each scar I have shows me I can be stronger

So 5 minutes later when a knock on the door echoed the house I stood up at lightning speed

No no no no

Deep breaths Emmalyn

I was still a little woozy so I had to hold on to the wall and railing for help, I held my hand over the stitches and took a sep towards the door

"Hello?" asked a male voice, I held my ear to the door and listened

I sounded like he was groaning 

"Emmalyn?, Peter?" he said

I took a deep breath and looked out the peep hole and saw the silhouette of him, I looked over to the small closet we had, I opened it and saw Pete's old base ball bat

I took it and placed my hand on the knob 

Taking deep breaths I opened the door ready to hit who ever it was when he caught it 

I opened one eye and saw him, my eyes widen at his state

"Aiden? W-what happened to you?" I asked dropping the bat and pulling him inside

He nearly fell over but I caught him

"Aiden Charles Taylor, tell me what happened right now" I demanded

"Jake is what happened" he said grabbing the railing

First aid kit!

I walked him up the stairs "You went after him? Are you crazy he had a knife on him Aiden" I said annoyed he followed what he told me 

"Yeah I know that" he said removing his hand from his side

"Jesus Aiden" I whispered helping him into my bathroom "You need to be quiet Peter is home" I said sitting him down on the edge of the tub
