A Lemma Fanfic - Red Band Society

Emma stared at Leo in complete shock. One minute they were arguing over her saying he liked Kara and him denying it of course and the next he was kissing her. She didn't understand how it had changed so fast. She done what she was probably best at, she walked away. She went straight to her room to think about recent events. Maybe that was the best part of having no roommate, there was no one to interrupt her thoughts, except the nurses of course coming in every now and again to see if she had eaten. She stared blankly at the wall as she sunk into a flashback.

Emma had just arrived in the hospital. As far as she was concerned it was going to be the worst experience in her life. She was 16 years old and had been admitted into the hospital for Anorexia Nervosa. Her own parents didn't even believe that she had it and called her an attention seeker and also refused to visit her. And then she met him. She had just walked into the cafeteria and saw him. He had spoken to her the minute she walked in which made her smile "Admittedly it's not my best look." He had said to her referring to the small fedora hat that was placed on his head. Emma shrugged it off with a smile trying to make him feel better "It's just a little small." She replied. "These were all sent by my sister, I think this one might actually be hers." He said with a laugh. "For what it's worth you have a nice head. I don't think you need any hats at all." Emma said with a smile mentally scolding herself for being so awkward. Leo passed her the hat and Emma giggled a little as she tried it on. "Looks way better on you." Leo commented. Emma smiled as she thanked him. They talked for a little more until Emma excused herself. Leo had given her the hat and she said goodbye. That was the first day she met Leo Roth and she was extremely grateful for it.

Emma sighed softly to herself as she came back to reality. She looked around the room and knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight unless she had spoken to Leo about what happened and what the hell he thought he was doing. Emma slowly got up out of her bed and walked down the long hospital corridor until she got to the elevator. She stepped inside and pressed the appropiate button to get to Leo's floor. Once the elevator opened she walked along to Leo's room. Emma saw him and Jordi talking and slowly knocked on the door. Both Leo and Jordi looked over at her. A huge smile appeared on Leo's face which made Emma feel awful. "Um hey, Leo can we talk?" She asked him quietly all her confidence quickly fading. Leo led her out of his room and they walked alongside each other. Leo had subtly tried to grab her hand but Emma knew and slowly moved her hand away. They came to a stop when they reached the cafeteria; the same place that they met. Emma stared down at her hands and slowly looked up at him as they sat down "Leo.. What was that?" She asked him referring to the kiss. "Emma.. I love you, I know you love me too. So what's the problem?" He asked her. Emma looked at him "I can't trust you Leo.. Kara is here now. Who is so much prettier than I am. Who's to say it's not going to happen again?" She asked him. "I was an idiot, and I'll admit it. Please just give us a try." He begged her. Emma shook her head "Show me you've changed then I'll think about it." She told him walking away to her room to get a good nights sleep.
