Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

34. Veronica

I slowly opened my eyes. I was taking in my surroundings. I'm in my room. What happened? Robert? I looked to my side. I felt such a relief when I saw him sitting next to my bed in a chair. He was sleeping but he didn't seem to be in a peaceful sleep though.

"Robert?" He shifted slightly in his seat. I placed my hand on his knee and shook it.

"Robert?" His head popped up with wide eyes, blinking a few times. I giggled. That was cute.

"Emilia." He whispered and quickly came to sit next to me on the bed and took my hand in his.

"Don't do that to me. Don't ever do that to me again." He said in a cracking voice, like he was about to cry.

"What happened to me?" I asked confused.

He shook his head. "Last night you started to panic or something and passed out. I called the doctor and he told me that you had an anxiety attack."

"Oh.. I-I remember.." I whispered looking away from him.

"What happened to you?" He asked with so much concern in his voice. That's exactly it. He's the reason why I started to panic.

"You happened." I said looking away from him.

"What? Did I do something? Did I hurt y-"

"No! No, nothing like that Robert. You haven't done anything but being incredibly sweet to me." I reassured him.

"Then.. why did you panic over me?"

"Because... I can tell." I finally turned to him, looking him in the eyes. "I can tell how much you care for me and it... it started to hurt me. That... I can't return those feelings right now. I can't imagine how painful that must be for you. Knowing you're not getting the feelings from me that you deserve."

Tears started falling from my eyes but he suddenly did something I was not expecting. He started to laugh, really loud. He even had to grab his stomach because he was laughing so hard. I stared at him in shock and completely confused.

"Why are you laughing?!" He finally cooled down after a couple minutes.

"Oh Emilia. You're unbelievable." He said smirking at me.

"Seriously! What's so funny?!"

"That's just so.. you. That's so typical for you to be overthinking something so much. Yes, it's sad that you don't remember what we had but that isn't the point. I'm happy, I'm happy that I can see you, spend time with you. I'm happy that you didn't push me away after you woke up because I was a stranger to you but you didn't push me away and you have no idea how happy that made me. I do, really hope that you will get your memories back but even if you don't, we'll just make new ones and I'll make you fall in love with me just all over again."

Really? Is this what he's been thinking the entire time? Oh my God, here I was thinking that I was hurting him with my presence because we're not in a relationship anymore. Gosh I'm such an idiot! I even had a panic attack about this!

"You're unbelievable Robert."

"Unbelievable handsome? Yes I know." He said while winking at me.

What? Why? Do I...? I think...?

"Robert?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you? Did you maybe... say that before?" His eyes widened and a huge smile popped up his face.

"I-I did. A couple times actually. Why? Do you remember that?" He said in surprise.

"I think I do. It sounded so familiar." I whispered smiling back at him.
