Tangled Love
CHAPTER 97
Jake's POV -
I turn around and walk back through the hospital doors making my way through the route I've now memorised. I push open the door leading to the private rooms and head for number 52, the one Emily is in.
She was still asleep when I left her but the nurse told me she'd be waking up soon. I don't want her to wake up alone but on the other hand I don't know how to react when she does wake up. She looked terrified before, her eyes wide and her body trembling. I curse myself for standing there frozen to the spot, I should have helped her.
All the days of waiting for her to wake up and it finally happened. I definitely didn't expect it to go the way it did but I completely understand why she was so freaked out. Jones kidnapped her, mentally broke her down and tied up her up for weeks. The marks on her wrist were still healing from the ropes he'd used. I stop outside the door and wait a moment before pushing it back slowly and walking in. I stop as soon as I notice she's awake and sitting up. Her eyes stare straight into mine and once again I remain rooted to the spot.

"Its good to hear your voice again, thought I lost you there for a moment."
My own voice comes out quiet and I fiddle with the small white tablets in my pocket once again.
"Are you okay?" She asks me and I nod quickly, my gaze landing on the floor.
I'm not okay, I'm definitely not okay but I can't let her know that, I need to be strong for her.
