A Broken Heart

Chapter 4

Opening my eyes groggily, lifting up from my place on Emmet's chest I stare out among the passing greenery, "Where are we?" I ask no one in particular. My mothers eyes lighten up the drivers seat, "It's a surprise." "Fine." I huff. Emmet chuckles, whispering, just loud enough for him and I to hear, "Your adorable when your angry." He did not. I playfully punch him in the arm, repeatedly may I add, "Take that back, I'm not adorable!!!" Holding his hands up in surrender "Fine, your beautiful..." His voice lowering "and adorable..." Arghhh, he knows I don't like being called adorable, but whatever it is cute when he says it and that's when I cuddle back up to him, "You know I called you adorable right?" He asks, surprised. "Yeh..." I reply dreamily. The smile lighting up his face, he may of won this one but I'll win the next. But then again I do say that every time...arghh stop contradicting yourself Holly. I see Rose nudging Emmet "Looks like you won, how do you do it?" "Don't know really maybe cause I'm awesome like that!" She laughs. "I can hear you, you know that right?" They both look at me feigning shock "Oh my gosh, Emmet she knows!!!!" They fist pump. "Heyyyy, what about me, you two can't gang up on me!" I whine. Emmet leans down placing a peck on my lips, "We can but your my only true partner in crime." "I love you." I whisper, "I love you too."
"Now, someone tell me where we are going?!?!" I shout. "Look for your self.." Emmet whispers... Oh. My. Gosh. Thai. "Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!" I jump out of the car. We enter the glass doors and sit down at a table near the window, water begins to trickle along the surface beginning a wonderful water-piece on the cold glass. Emmet plays with my fingers under the table listening to Rose's stories about Europe. The waitress comes over collecting our order and congratulating me on my race, I use to participate in alot more events but as things got more difficult I focused on my two favourites, 200 & 100m. The more I listened to Rose's adventures the more envious I became, she could do whatever she wanted, not having to consult a doctor first, she could bring up a family when she wanted, live life and not have to worry about her last breathe, love with all her heart, not needing to worry about hurting them. I was jealous, of everything she could accomplish, even eventually I'll have to stop running, competitively, because congenital heart disease doesn't count as a disability only my legs do and I will grow out of that too, the only way I could ever make it to the olympics is if I run able-body times, I'm running about 16seconds for the 100 at the moment, and i'll need to be a lot faster for able-body times. I notice that everyone is looking at me, "Sorry, I didn't hear what you said, can you please repeat it?" Emmet looks at me, worried, "We were just saying how you got a PB today." "Really?! What was my time?" Excitement filling me like water, I have been training every day for two hours so it would be amazing if I got a PB! Rose smiles widely "15.56 seconds!" "Oh my gosh!" Among the excitement a pain rips through my chest lingering at the top, I bite my lip to stop the tears from flowing, and a scream escaping, "Uhh, I'll be back" I flash a glance at Rose, hoping she gets the clue. Rushing through the tables I push open the door, tumbling into the stall. Lifting my shirt off I look down at my chest scanning for the source of the pain, my eyes fall upon the bruising and the blood trickling down my scar, tears begin to roll down my cheeks, "Holly! Are you ok?!" Her voice thick with worry. My lips letting off a barely audible sound "Rose! Im in here" Fumbling with the lock the door releases, her glistening eyes meet mine, her body hugging me close. "Oh, Holly!" She whispers... "Does it hurt?" I couldn't speak, for fear of breaking, I needed her to know I am strong even though I am petrified. "I love you Rose." She screams, "No Holly, your time is not near yet, you'll live. This IS not the end." Her phone to her ear, voice frantic she calls someone. I see Emmets face in the doorway, his face calm but it's his eyes that torment me, the emotions that flash through them. I mouth, 'go' but he steps forward wrapping his arms around my limp body, nuzzling his neck close,

"I'm not going anywhere Holly"

Those 5 words ring constantly into the black void now captivating my body.

I love you Emmet...
