Emma
I open my eyes and the first thing I noticed was I wasn't in my room. The second thing I noticed was someone breathing beside me. I turn on the bed to see Jace sleeping soundly beside me and I smile. He looks really peaceful with his blonde hair almost covering his eyes and his usual cocky demeanor replaced by a peaceful one. I know I probably look like a creep with my crazy bed hair staring at this foolishly handsome boy but what can I say?

I can't help myself as I lean in to kiss him and he wakes up immediately.

"Hey" he grins through his sleepy haze.

"Hi" I say praying he doesn't notice my bad morning breath. Either he doesn't notice or chooses to ignore it.

"Sleep well?" He mumbles and rubs the sleep out of his eyes. So cute.

"Not really. You were snoring in my ear the whole time" I say.

"Yeah right. You slept halfway through the movie" he says. "I guess I tire girls out a lot."

"You perv" I hit his chest playfully.

"Ouch" he glares at me. "Violent much?"

"Yes" I retort. "Now, I have to go brush my teeth. I'm sure you've had enough of my morning breath because I know I've had enough of yours."

"No. Don't go" he whines like a five year old and grabs my wrist to prevent me from moving and I do the only reasonable thing that comes to mind. I take a deep breath and exhale through my mouth straight in his face

"Oh God" he chokes and let's go of me. "That is horrible."

I roll my eyes and hurriedly rush to his bathroom. Opening the closet, I find my toothbrush (yes, I have a toothbrush in his house for days like this), and brush my teeth. I look in the mirror and cringe. My hair looks like it just survived a tornado (wait -is that popcorn?) and I look like an ape who was woken up with a bucket of cold water during his hibernation.

I splash cold water on my face and try to tame my hair. I check myself one more time and I look somewhat presentable and step out.

Jace is still lying down on his bed lazily and I walk over to him. "Hey you" I snap my fingers. "Come feed me."

"'Limme 'lone." His voice is muffled by the pillow but I can make out what he said.

"Don't be lazy" I roll my eyes and begin the difficult task of pulling him off the bed.

After a few pulls, I'm positive I've broken my back.

"Martha will prepare breakfast for you" he groans. "Just leave me alone."

"But I wanna eat breakfast with you" I whine.

"Ugh, fine" he groans and gets up with a huff. "I hate you."

"No. You love me" I smile and he shakes his head.

"Apparently you're right" he sighs sadly.

I grin and we go to the kitchen for breakfast. "Where's Martha?" I ask.

He thinks about it for a while before groaning. "It's Sunday so she's out for the day."

"Good. Now make me breakfast" I shove him.

He raises an eyebrow at me. "Do you want to get poisoned?"

"Never mind" I wave him off. "Cereal will do."

He walks over to a cupboard and brings out a carton of Lucky Charms and Cornflakes.

He looks at them as he turns to me. "So I'm not sure what you--"

I cut him off by snatching the carton of Lucky Charms out of his hands and hugging it. "My love!"

"Ouch" Jace says and puts his hands over his heart in mock hurt.

"Get over it you douche" I roll my eyes.

He brings out a carton of milk and two bowls, setting them on the counter. Soon enough I'm enjoying my bowl of Lucky Charms.

"Is this your favourite cereal?" He asks and I nod. "I guess we have something in common."

I'm too busy eating to reply him and soon enough my bowl is empty.

"How the hell did you finish before me?" He asks in disbelief.

I let out an unladylike belch and he laughs. "Never mind."

"I have to go because I'm picking Emily up at we're going to the hospital" I say.

"Do you want me to come with you?" He asks as he rinses his bowl.

"No. I don't want to drag you to where you don't want to be" I shrug.

He pulls me closer to him and rests his forehead on mine. "I don't care where I am as long as I'm with you."

"Awww that's so sweet. You're such a romantic" I grin

"What can I say? I'm a ladies man" he smirked.

I huffed. "Not funny." I quickly ran upstairs to grab my phone.

"See ya" I blew him a kiss as I left the house.

When I got home, I quickly showered and changed. Grabbing my keys, I leave the house and hop into my car. I press in the address Emily sent me into the GPS and begin driving.

"Yes, you can see him now but he's unconscious. He's responding to treatment so he should be awake soon" the doctor smiles.

"How about the.. other thing?" Emily asks.

"Well, we conducted an MRI and we found out that he won't be able to walk for a few months" he pauses to let in sink in. "But with therapy he'll be on the wheelchair for a maximum of five months."

I thank the doctor as he walks away. I turn to Emily and she's smiling. "Did you hear that? He'll still be able to walk!"

"Yes I heard. Now go see your brother" I push her towards his room.

"You sure you don't wanna come?" she asks and I shake my head."

"If you need me, I'm out here" I smile and sit down on the uncomfortable metal chair.

She gives me a thumbs up and disappears down a hallway. I turn on my phone and begin texting Jace.

Me* Hey

Jace* Hey kitten ;)

I roll my eyes at my newly assigned nickname.

Me* I'm at the hospital and the doctor said he'll still be able to walk after a few months of therapy

Jace* Really? I told you it'll be alright

Me* Yeah, you did. What are you doing now?

Jace* Sitting in a corner and thinking about how I miss you :(

Me* I'm serious

Jace* I'm Dumbledore

I just stared at the latest text from him and sighed, shaking my head.

Me* Did you really just say that?

Jace* No, I texted it

Me* Bye!

Jace* Nooooooo.......

Me* Drama queen

Jace* Drama king

Me* You know there's no such thing as drama king

Jace* Sure there is. It's you!

Me* I have to go now, the doctors here

Jace* Okay...

Jace* Bye

Me* Bye

I remove the text and decide to call my long lost friend. I dial the number and on the second ring, it's connected.

"Hello?"

"Hey Char!"

"Emma! I've missed you sooo much. Mia told me everything that happened and I wish I there and--"

"Breathe Charlie. I missed you too" I smile.

"Yeah. Mia told me everything that happened. Everything" He repeats.

"Did she tell you I'm dating Jace" I ask.

"That was our main topic. You know I don't approve of this Jace character" he started.

"That's because you've not even met him" I cry.

He scoffed. "I've seen enough pictures to know he's--"

"Hot" I say and roll my eyes. "Even if you're a guy you have to admit he's hot."

"No."

"Come on. I don't want my boyfriend and best friend to start off on the wrong foot" I press on.

"Just drop the subject of his alleged "hotness". I've heard enough from Mia already" he sighs.

"Okay. I'll Facetime you this night and you'll talk to Jace face to face. Well... not face to face just face to .. er.. screen."

"Alright. See ya" he hangs up.

As soon as he hangs up, Emily appears in front of me. "Hey."

"Hi, how is he?" I ask quietly.

"He's injured badly and he's out but as the doctor said, he's getting better" she sniffed.

"Oh you poor thing" I sigh and pull her into a hug.

"I don't want to cry" she says and her voice breaks.

"It's okay to cry" I say. "But I'd rather you not" I add and she laughs.

"I'm staying" she says when we finally pull apart.

"I'm sorry?"

"I'm staying at the hospital" she repeats.

"Emily. I love you and I know you love your brother, but I can't let you stay here."

"You don't have to stay here with me."

"You must be really delusional if you think I'm letting you stay in the hospital alone" I laugh.

"You don't understand. I have to be here. What if he wakes up?"

"The doctor will call us to inform us" I say matter-of-factly.

"No but--"

"No buts" I say firmly.

She sighs and I take that a sign of acceptance. "Look. Do you want to go home now or to my place? Mom is coming back today and we'll be getting ready to move."

"I can't move" she sighs.

"What do you mean?" I furrow my eyes in confusion.

"If  Sal comes out of the hospital, he'll probably be confined to a wheelchair. I can't leave him alone with a maid."

"But you can't--" I start but she cuts me off.

"Look Emma. If it was me would you move? Or Jace?" I don't answer and she raises an eyebrow. "See. I can't leave him."

"Alright" I sigh. "I can't object to that. But I can drag you out of here."

I stand up and drag her out of the hospital. "See?"

"Yeah yeah" she rolls her eyes. "Can we get some coffee."

"Sure."

Hey guys. Did I update late? I'm not sure but sorry if I did. I would've updated earlier but, it's Christmas. Who enjoyed their Christmas? Mine was boring. What did you do during this special time of year? If you'd like to share your Christmas experience comment here. I'll love to hear them.

Also thanks to Bri_bri0513 for all the comments in the last chapter. They really made my day.

What's your favourite series and favourite character in it? Mine is Leverage and my fav character is.. wow, this is tough but I'll have to go with... Parker. She's fun, smart, pretty and really, really, flexible.

I'm sorry but I don't watch Friends, Pretty Little Liars, Big Bang Theory (shocker?), The Originals, Game of Thrones and pretty much every other series that's popular. I watched a bit of Teen Wolf and Vampire Diaries though. I also hate Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek and Hunger Games.

Bye guys (I hope you're not mad at me.)
