—————————————————————————————————-

Adrien's POV: 

"Louis!" I heard a familiar voice scream. I turn my head and see Emma; holding Hugo in the rain. Charlotte was leering over them holding my umbrella. I saw Louis begin to sprint over there so I followed. I had no idea what was going on but Emma looked fearful. 

Once we reached them, Louis kneeled on the wet floor next to Hugo. I saw him whisper something to Emma. She looked surprised; then she nodded and got up. "Hey Adrien." Emma walked over to me and grabbed ahold of my arm. She linked my arm with hers and began taking us away from her brother. 

"Um...Emma." I was about to question her. Why she was leaving her brother in the hands of Louis but something about being next to Emma made me feel happy. She looked up at me with her emerald eyes and hummed. Like a questioning hum; telling me to continue with whatever I was saying. I didn't want to. "Never mind."

 I looked down at her; she had tears in her eyes but she was silent. No matter how much I liked it being just the two of us; she was upset and I needed to comfort her. "Emma... are you oka...." 

"I'm fine." She uttered as her voice broke. She clearly wasn't fine. I didn't like this. I needed answers. What's wrong with Hugo? Why is Emma taking me away from them? And why is she saying that everything is fine when she is crying? 

"Emma..." I exhaled "you are clearly not fine." I held her hands in front of me, caressing them in my own. I looked up at her and pleaded "please, tell me what's wrong, I can help" 

Then Emma did something.... unexpected. She shoved my hands aside and wrapped her arms around me- giving me the biggest hug I think I've ever had. I was taken aback at first but then I sent the hug back and squeezed her tightly. I nuzzled my head into the top of her hair. I felt her move beneath me so I let her go. "I'm sorry." She cried into my chest. 

"Hey, it's ok." I stroked her hair as she cried. She put her arms between us and pushed me off of her. 

"No it's not, this is all my fault." She flung her arm to the side and then cradled herself. 

"Hey, no it's not." To be honest I had no idea what was wrong but I assmumed she meant the whole 'homeless' thing. "It's not your fault." 

Emma was not convinced "yes it is. I hadn't come here, that would've happened." She gestured over to where Louis and Hugo were. They were quite far away but I thought I saw a kwami for a second. I shoved that thought to the back of my mind and focused on Emma. "If I hadn't been the same age as you this wouldn't happened." She gestured to me; flailing her arm around. I felt somewhat offended but I didn't know why. I didn't even know what she meant by 'this'. "IF I WASN'T BORN THEN...... then everyone would be fine." 

I had snapped. 

"Emma, you are amazing. I haven't even known you for that long but what I do know is that you are an intelligent, brave, bold and definitely pretty girl." I paused. I saw her tense up as I walked over to her. "I'm not going to stand by and let you doubt yourself like that." I hugged from behind with all the passion I had. It was subtle but I felt a her rest her head on my arm.
