Emma's POV

The icy grass crunched beneath my feet. A single snowflake landed in the palm of my hand. It melted after a second. I stood there silently, staring at the tiny puddle in my hand. More bits of snow began to fall into my hand. My hand was numbing from the chilled water in my fist. I felt someone touch my shoulders while I was admiring the wintery weather. "Ah!" I jumped and spun around.

"Emma, it's just me."

"Go away! I can't even look at you right now!" I screamed at Leo.

"Emma, look, I am soo sorry. It was just a thing of the moment. You know I didn't mean for it to happen." He reached for my hand and I pulled away.

"That's not just something you can apologize for and then it's done, gone, forgotten!"

"Emma-"

"Don't." I turned and walked away. My eyes were full with tears.

Kara's POV

"Kara, I'm not mad at you." Hunter stopped me to say.

"And? What should I care. You were gonna leave me that night with your parents. You almost died yesterday. It wouldn't have impacted my life."

"You know I only went because of my mother. She never would have let me stay after knowing I was better."

"I really don't care about your excuses Hunter. We are over. O-V-E-R over!" I looked at him to see a blank stare looking back at me. After a moment I began to walk again. "Besides, I have Leo now." From the corner of my eye I saw that catch his attention. He ran to catch up with me.

"Leo? Really. Are we talking about the same Leo here? I don't mean to offend you now, but he would not leave Emma for you."

I stopped and looked Hunter in the eyes. "He did." Then I turned, walked into the girls bathroom, and locked the door. I slid down the wall and just sat there.

Suddenly a stall opened and Nurse Jackson walked out. "Boy troubles?"

"What?"

"I said, boy troubles." Nurse Jackson was WAY to good at reading people.

I stood up and responded, "Yeah, kind of."

"You do know Leo loves Emma right?" I gave her a disgusted look. "No matter what you Kara, he always will. There is a special spot in that boys heart for her... You guys may have had one night, but you have to realize what he was going through."

"How did you know about that?" She finished washing her hands and drying them. Then she unlocked the door and walked out. I followed her, "Nurse Jackson! Nurse Jackson! How'd you know that?"

She just continued to walk with a smile on her face.

I twisted around to see Hunter leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his lips. I stomped over to him and grabbed it from him. "If I can't have one, then neither can you." Then I walked away.

Leo's POV

I was walking around the hospital when I found myself outside Emma's door. I lifted my arm and knocked on her door. I heard no noise. The door was locked and the lights were off. The room was dimly lighted by a single candle. I peeked my head through the glass and saw Emma laying on her bed. Her eyes were open. I looked at her and motioned toward the door. She shook her head no and she flipped over onto her other side. I knocked on the glass and said, "Emma come on. I just wanna talk to you."

She slid off her bed and faced me. She walked over to the glass and shook her head no again. I tilted my head down, looking more deeply at her. I mouthed the word please and stared at her without blinking.

Emma's POV

No one could say no to those eyes. They just make your heart melt. NO! I blinked and a tear ran down my cheek as I shook my head no one last time. Leo slowly rotated around and started down the hall. His head hung low and he shuffled his feet. I swung the door open and yelled Leo down the hall. He turned to face me. I saw one foot pick up and step toward me. Then the other.
