He walks me over to my couch. I turn on my Apple TV and switch on Netflix.
While I scroll through Netflix trying to find something to watch, Jordan prepares the ice cream.
He's too sweet to be real. I really don't want to see the other side of him.
He walks in with two bowls of ice cream and spoons. He hands me one of the bowls. I slightly smile at him.
"Okay, it's been driving me crazy and I need to ask you." I nod at him. "Did I cause this? I mean did I make you cry." He asked worriedly.
I shook my head. "No, no, no! I just-" I sigh.
I just met him I don't want to burry him in my problems. "It's personal." I tuck my hair behind my ear.
"You can trust me Emma." I believe him but I don't want to break down again.
"It's family back home." I try not to get into detail, "I came here for a, hopefully a better change."
I take a deep breath and bite my lip to hold back the tears. "Do you want to share?" He asks. I guess I'm going into detail.
I nod shakily.
"My younger brother called me while we were at Starbucks and gave me the news that my dad got in an accident and well-." I take a deep, shaky breath. "He's in a coma."
"If I were to take a flight back to Scotland, I just wouldn't be stable." I sigh. "Now my brother has to live with my aunt and-" Jordan cuts off my rambling.
"Hey. Everything's going to be okay." He puts his hand under my chin lifting my head up.
I look straight into his emerald green eyes. "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay it's not the end." I give a slight smile, "Ed Sheeran." I say with a soft chuckle.
He pulls his hand back and leans back. "Let's have a Criminal Minds marathon because why the hell not."
He says, "I'm not complaining. Dr.Reid is a cutie." I say smirking.

|Jordan's POV|
I don't know how she is pulling through. Did her dad do something to her, that she doesn't seem to care much? Is she a late reactor?
I won't judge her I just want to help.
The episodes slide by quickly, along with time. She seems okay now.
"Hey Emm-" I realize she's asleep.
"Oh." I whisper to myself.
I take out my phone and check the time. 12:34 am. It's been that long? I wonder to myself.
I don't want to leave Emma sleeping on her couch, but I'm afraid to wake her up.
All or nothing.
I remove the blanket she had over herself and pick her up bridal style.
She is extremely skinny and fragile. A bit to skinny... Is she anorex-?
No...
This poor girl has been through so much.
I continue walking and put her down on her bed. I place a blanket over her cold tiny body.
I walk over to her desk and find a pen and a sticky note. I begin to write a note for her:
Morning sunshine! You fell asleep last night while watching Criminal Minds, so I brought you to you're room. Text me so we can hang out later.
I jot down my number, sign it Jordan, and place the sticky note on her nightstand. I turn off all the lights and walk back to my apartment and crash.
