The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I have been here for four hours, and Rosie hasn't woken up yet. Thankfully, she is stable, which helps a little with my nerves. I'm trying to prevent my mind from wandering to the darkest places by reminding myself that she is still stable, but as time passes, the effect of this is starting to fade. I told Knox last night and he told Sabrina who didn't take it well according to what he had told me. She wanted to come, but I told Knox to tell her to wait until Rosie woke up. As for Kendall, she learned about what happened yesterday. Instead of coming, Emily asked her if she could stay with Holden and Lily because the two of them had not been okay after learning about what happened to their sister. I'm trying to

to hold myself together, but it is not easy. I don't know for how long I'm supposed to keep the strong façade. I'm anything but strong. The moment I arrived, I stayed in front of the window for an hour, doing nothing but watching her, hoping she'd wake up, but she didn't. The doctor said that was normal and she was supposed to wake up anytime throughout the day if her vitals remained stable.

"Here you go," I say, handing Julian and Emily the coffee I bought them. I'm trying to keep myself busy, but even while doing that, Rosie is the one consuming my thoughts. "Thank you." Emily offers me a small smile. She looks better than the way she looked yesterday. She is dressed in some black leggings, a beige top, and a black cardigan.

"The accident is all over the news," Julian mutters as he scrolls through his phone. "I expected that to happen, but I really wish they could give us some privacy."

"I can call the security company my family deals with to bring us some bodyguards to the hospital," I suggest. I want to help in any way. I want to feel useful and helpful. Seeing Rosie like that makes me feel helpless and I hate the way this feels, so I just want this family to feel that I can offer them any sort of support.

"Thank you, but I've already called them. We deal with the same company," he gently reminds me, and I nod.

There must be t be something I I can do. I can't just sit there and do nothing. It doesn't feel right.

"I'm going to check on Rosie," I tell them before walking away. If there's nothing I can do for them, I can at least stay with my girlfriend in some way. I know that she cannot see me, but I don't want to leave her on her own.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Once la I arrive, rive, I see a flood of medical staff running inside the ICU, making my heart sink. I rush, attempting to see anything from the window, but they're hindering my view. I see a nurse walking out of the door, and I dash towards her. "Is she okay? What's going on with her?" I frantically ask. "She is okay. She's actually waking up and the doctor is making sure that she's okay." Not once in my life have I felt this kind of relief before. Rosie is okay. She is okay. She woke up.

I rush to the waiting room to deliver the news to her parents. I'm finally able to put them out of their misery.

When

Julian sees me jogging towards him, he quickly stands up with worry written all over his face. I know that he's thinking of the worst, but I'm not here to deliver any bad news. "She's awake! She woke up," I breathlessly say. His tense shoulders fall in relaxation when I tell him that and Emily's eyes tear up while a smile gets drawn over her lips.

The three of us rush to the ICU. Julian knocks on the door, not knowing if we're now allowed to walk inside or not.

Once a nurse opens the door, Julian quickly says, "My daughter is inside. We learned that she woke up. Can we please see her?"

do you know these people?" the doctor asks Rosie when we approach her.

"Let t me check with the doctor." She keeps the door half open and I try to catch a glimpse of my girl. She doesn't take long to come back and when she opens the door, I sigh in relief. We're about to see her. Finally, we're going to see her without any glass windows between us. "Rosie, "Of course." She slowly nods as her eyes move among us. Her eyes linger on me for a couple of seconds and I try to tell myself that the look of confusion that flashes through her eyes is something I've completely imagined. "These are my parents and this is Silas." "Cupcake, are you okay?" Emily coos as she holds Rosie's hand.

"I have a

e a headache, and my body is in pain," she replies her eyes moving among us.

"This is normal, Rosie. The accident was terrible. Do you remember what happened exactly?" the doctor asks her.

She stays silent for a few seconds, attempting to remember anything about the accident. "No." Her voice is shaky. I want to hug her and assure her that everything is going to be okay. to leave you

forehead. "I'm so thankful that you're okay, cupcake. I can't believe that I almost lost you."

"Can you please raise the back of the bed? I want to sit up," she requests, looking at all of us. Julian reaches for the remote control of the bed and raises it until it's good enough for her. "Was the accident that bad?" Rosie quietly asks. Yes, cupcake. It's a miracle that you're alive," Julian tells his daughter as he kisses the top of her head. "A car hit you from behind while you were on your way to Silas yesterday."

A frown appears between her eyebrows as she looks at me. "On my way to you? Why was I on my way to you?" She genuinely sounds confused.

"We were going bowling together," I remind her, but her confusion only increases.

"Together? Why were we going together? Since when do you go out together?" Her last question hits me hard and I try to hide my shock. There is one thought in my head and I try to ignore it. I look at Emily and Julian and the same worry I have inside of me is drawn all over their faces. "Rosie, we have been dating for over six months," I utter the words that I'm aware are about to reveal a lot of things.

Her eyes widen for a second before a smile appears on her face. Soon, her smile turns into a laugh and I try to hold myself together.

"This is a nice prank, guys. As if Silas and I would ever date." Everything I have ever planned with her has just been destroyed in the blink of an eye.
