Emma's POV: I opened the door and to my horror it was my professor. He was supposed to be calling over today anyways but it slipped my mind. Shit I missed so much lessons. What the fuck do I tell him?!. I panicked before spilling out "IM SORRY PROFESSOR HIDGENS" I held the door opened for him but instead he pulled me in for a hug." Jezuz Christ Emma where have you been! I was so worried you didn't even call in sick! I even had to ring your parents to see if you were with them. I was even about to go on a search party for you!" He ranted on. I gulped and he looked disappointed in me. He released me from the hug and I looked down "come in professor.." I say. He did so and I walked in after closing the door. He looked at paul "who are you?" He asked rather harshly. I saw paul tense a little " uh..I'm paul...and uh...uh..." the professor looked over at me " Emma why is he in your apartment? Wait Emma you never told me you were seeing someone and I'm Henry Hidgens please call me Henry" he said to paul. I blushed before quickly replying "Nowerenotathing". He looked at me again. I felt my headache coming back. I put my hand up to my head. Paul seemed to notice. "Henry do you mind if I put Emma to bed? Um...I don't know what your thinking but she just has a headache and ..I'm I'll explain everything to you I a few minutes I'm just gonna grab some uh...painkillers for her and she needs rest" paul said before walking over towards me. Henry only nodded slowly. Paul helped me to my room after about 5 minutes because I gave him shitty instructions. When we got there he pushed open the door and directed me towards the bed. I sat down but he literally forced me to lay down. He said if I needed anything just shout for him and I only nodded. I felt my eyes grow heavy before I knew it I fell asleep.
Paul's POV:
I made sure Emma was okay before heading back down to where henry was at. I sat down ."okay ...I never even knew Emma was in collage and two what happens was one day she got hit with a bike got a concussion so I said I'd look after her since I brought her to the hospital then after about a few days my house got broken into and blah blah blah then these people knocked us out. Luckily Emma got help but I'd prefer if she didn't. She called my emergency contact number who was my crazy ex then when we were at the hospital she attacked Emma and now Emma has a maher headache...." I said he seemed to understand. " sorrry I just get over protective of her.... she used to live with me a few years ago and used to do my shopping and everything. Her parents lets me honest haven't seen her since like 10 years ago and her sister broke her. I gave her everything that she wanted but she didn't ask for much. She was always the one who stood out and never had any friends. After she moved out of my place she got her own place and gets me shopping every Thursday. I was so scared of what happened to her because for two weeks she hasn't been coming around with shopping. I'd usually offer her tea or coffee and we'd talk forever....she's just like the child I never had" Henry spoke. I felt sorry for him. Emma of course didn't have it easy but for 10 whole years never seeing her parents? Is it that bad of a relationship they have? I sigh and smiled at Henry" she should be okay...I'd even probably lose it if something happened to her" I admitted . I looked at the photos around the place again and noticed a picture of a younger Emma with Henry. She had a smaller version of wiggly more of a small key ring plush and was on henrys back. How long have they known eachother? I wonder...I got lost in thoughts till mine and henrys head turned towards a heartbreaking scream coming from Emma's room. Me and Henry ran up to see what was happening and realised Emma was breathing heavy and she looked so pale. I ran over to her and shook her gently"shhh shhh Emma wake up" I pat her back and her eyes widened before launching herself into me. I hugged her. Henry just eyed me but I could tell he was just gaining my trust. After a short while Emma's sobs we're getting quieter and Henry came over towards her aswell . He put a hand on my shoulder and he said " hey Emma remember when you were a child and you got nightmares? Remember how I used to tell you it's gonna be okay...well it is Emma even now you have paul confirming it too...it's okay dear it's okay". I looked up at him. He really was a father figure to her
