Welcome to my world of fiction!
A/N: This is my first attempt at a romance story. I saw the Red Band Society pilot yesterday and I totally fell in love with the show. It's an amazing show and it also made me tear up. I also started shipping some people together, including these two. Hope you enjoy. 3

"Leo?"
Leo looked up from his phone. He hesitated before saying anything.
"…Yeah?"
"Is Jordi back from surgery yet?" Emma asked, sitting on the edge of Leo's bed. He sighed.
"Do you see him in the room?" He asked, annoyed. Emma looked down. He mumbled a apologetically and looked down at his phone while Emma moved closer to him.
"Is our session over? I'd like to go back to Candy Crush. You can go back to thinking about your dear Jordi."
Emma frowned. Was that really what he thought? If she didn't know any better, it sounded like Leo was jealous. She smirked slightly.
"Don't I have the right to worry about my future boyfriend?"
Leo put his phone away, mumbling under his breath. He got up from the bed and sat on his wheelchair. Emma scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"I'm kidding."
"Didn't seem like it last night." Leo replied. Emma stared blankly at him.
"I saw you guys slow dancing! So don't say that you never meant that little boyfriend comment, because I know you did." He added, wheeling out of the room.
Emma got up from the bed and followed him. Leo made a right and went through the doors that would bring him to Emma's room, knowing she was following him. He paused before rolling in and turned to Emma.
"Terminus. You get off here." He said, smiling sweetly at her. She pushed his wheelchair in her room, then sat on her bed. She grabbed a book and hit the back of Leo's head with it.
"Ow! What the hell?!"
"You're an ass. I don't like Jordi. Not like that."
"So you brought me here to tell me that?"
"You brought me here!"
"He doesn't even like you. Not like I did."
Emma stayed silent.
"Emma…" He got up from his wheelchair and sat next to her on the bed. "What happened to us?" He said, holding her hand.
Emma jerked her hand away. Was he being serious? He knew what he did. What happened. It wasn't something she could forgive so easily. She had been by his side through thick and thin, and that's how he repaid her. By cheating on her.
She moved away. "You know what happened."
"I said I was sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it!" Emma exclaimed, getting up. She hated what he had done to her. He made her fall in love, made her feel like she was the only one for him, made her feel like she was finally important to someone. But he blew it all away by cheating on her with that other girl. She tried to forgive him, but it wasn't easy.
Leo looked down. "I still love you."
And with that, Emma slapped him. "Don't even start with that crap! You're probably having sex with that cheerleader-"
"Kara's a total bitch."
"If she would've been there instead of Mandy, would you have kissed her?"
"How many times do I have to tell you that she kissed me?!"
"Your lips weren't exactly all innocent. Same for your hands."
Leo looked down. Yeah, he had messed up pretty badly. But he loved Emma. He needed Emma. And even though he knew Jordi probably had a thing for her, he didn't care. Emma was his. Since the day she walked in, she was his and only his. He didn't care much about the other girls. She made a difference for him. She was the only one he actually, truly loved.
"I love you." He repeated.
Emma hesitated. "I-" He cut her off by kissing her.
She couldn't help but kiss back.
"I love you too." She said, pulling away. He smiled at her. Losing his leg wasn't the worst. Losing her was. But now that she was back in his arms, he would never let her go that easily again.
