CHAPTER 7: Danger

EMILY POV

This was very awkward. For the past week my brother, Mr. Banner, and I have been working on finding the location of our parents for the past week. I have not said a word to Banner, and I think my brother was glad for that. I want to talk to him about that night, I really have been meaning to get to it. But almost any time we are alone he is working on something, or he finds some excuse to leave the room.

But now we were both finally alone. He was still working on something, but I could tell it was nothing important. My brother had left the room about an hour ago, and now I was just thinking of the right words to say to... Derek. Yes, I should start to call him Derek again, not Banner. It would onlly be fair considering the fact that he calls me by my first name. Now how to start this conversation?...

He was sitting about five feet away from me, reading something from a file. I scoot my chair over next to him and look at what he was reading. It was about him and his mom and dad. He looked about five years old in the picture, and I had to admit it was seriously adorable.

"Thats a cute photo, Derek." He jumps a small bit, obviously not noticing the fact that I have been sitting nearby him this whole time.

"Yeah, I know." I noticed how... Sad he sounded. I just wanted to hug him, but I knew that would just make this awkward situation even more awkwards that it was before. So, instead I just put my hand over his and give him a warm smile. I'm not usually this comforting, but with everything that has been happening, I seem to be changing.

"Your mom is really pretty." His mother had dark brown hair and blue-ish green-ish eyes. In the picture one of her arms was wrapped around Dr. Banner and the other was around Derek. They looked like the perfect family.

"She was, and she was really nice to." Was? Oh no, did that mean...

"Is... Is she dead?" I ask quitely. He nods slowly, still starin down at the picture.

"She had a heart attack when I was six years old, she died right in front of me. My dad was only less than a mile away, but without a phone or any other way to contact him, there was nothing I could do. That day was also the first time I had done what we call 'hulking out'. I was small since I was younger, but I could still do quite a bit of damage... I really miss her." I was awe-struck. He was so young when his mother had died. No kid should ever have to go through something like that, especially someone as nice as Derek. I lean over and embrace him in a hug. He needs someone to hug him, to be nice to him. Someone other than his father, someone like me.

"I'm so sorry." I feel him stiffen up for a moment, before he very, very slowly wraps his arms around me and hugs me back. It was a real sweet moment between us, me comforting him, and Derek letting me comfort him. He was really warm and inviting, so much that I honestly didn't want to let him go. I kind of just wanted to stay there and fall asleep. But, that would be extremely cheesy.

"You can cry if you want to, I won't tell the guys." I know when I think about my parents dying, I feel like crying. He paused for a moment, before I heard a small sob coming from him. Derek buried his head into my shoulder and continued to cry. I liked being the strong one for once, it made me feel like I could make a difference in other people's lives. Starting with Derek Banner.

We staying in the sam position for about five minutes before he pulled back and gave me a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Emily, I think... I think I just really needed that." Cheesy moment. I don't care though because he just looks so innocent right now.

"I know this might sound cheesy, but I'll always be here. I hate gossiping to, which means nobody should find out about this." He had to be one of the most amazing guys I have ever met. I have never seen a guy cry before, except that one time when dad was drunk and mom locked him out of the house. But, this was so much different than that.

"That wasn't cheesy, just you trying to be a friend." I was leaning in closer to him for the second time. I felt the same as I did last time, the need to be closer to him, to hold him and love him. He was so different from any other guy I have every liked, so... Kind, shy, nice, smart. Perfect...

"What if I want to be more than friends?" Our eyes connect, and I can see Derek considering this. I was very hopeful, until the moment he shakes his head.

"I don't understand how someone like you can love a monster like me." I jump up out of the chair I was sitting in and glare at him.

"Was your dad a monster? No. He was a hero who could control himself and what was inside him. You are to so just get over it, and accept the fact that I have a crush on you, alright?"

DEREK BANNER POV

She has a crush on me. Emily has been nearly ignoring me for the past week, and today she was comforting me and telling me that she had a crush on me. I mean, yeah I like her and she is really nice but I can't just risk someone like her over my damn feelings. I could hurt her and since I do like her to some extent I am going to have to cut this off before we both get to attached to each other.

"I can't control it as well as him, now if you don't mind I have to go and finish some work of mine." I snatch the file of my family and I off of the desk and make my way out. Before I can make it to the door, Emily grabs my arm and pulls me back. The watch my dad had given me when I was younger begins to beep, which means that my heart rate is getting a little bit high for my liking. As soon as I face her again, she her hands on the sides of my face and kisses me. It was a soft and sweet kiss, filled with so much feeling, so many emotions. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer to me, chest to chest. She tasted like a mixture of cherries and grapes, so perfect and beautiful. She slowly pulls back and rests her forehead against mine.

"I do mind." She says before giving me a quick peck on the lips and pulling herself out of my arms. I can't believe I just let her kiss me. Here I was about to leave to avoid her, and now I couldn't move away from where we were just kissing a minute ago. I knew I was probably blushing like a maniac, because that was my first kiss. Ever.

"You know this is really dangerous, Emily." She gives me a big smile.

"I'm the kind of girl who loves danger, Derek." She was seriously going to give me a chance. Emily was going to risk her life over what could just be a silly crush that would probably not work out.

And I was going to help her with that, because I had a damn crush on her to.
