Bates Motel One Shot

You were looking forward to going to the school dance with your girlfriend Emma. It wasn't the dance that excited you but getting to go on a date with her was the most important thing as you enjoyed spending time with her a lot. You agreed to go and pick her up to take her to the dance so got to her house a few minutes earlier than the arranged time as you were beyond excited to show her your dress and see what she had chosen.

When you knocked on the door, her dad answered. You had met him a few times and got along as well as you were expected to get along with the father of your girlfriend.

"Hi Mr Decody, is Emma ready?" You smiled

"I'm sorry Y/N," he sighed. "She isn't feeling good. She was really excited but she's not going to be able to go."

Your heart sunk but you didn't blame her. All that mattered was that she was okay, as long as she was okay, nothing else really mattered.

"Can I see her? I understand if she's not well enough for guests," you said softly.

He stepped back from the door. "She'll be glad to see you."

You offered him a grateful smile before you rushed up to her bedroom. The door was open, and you could see Emma as you walked into the room, sat on her bed in a fancy dress but looking pale and pained.

"Are you okay?" You asked.

She raised her head and tried to smile at you, but it was shaky and uncertain.

"I'm sorry," she apologised. "I wish that I was feeling better than this."

You shook your head. "Don't be silly Emma. I would rather you be okay than being at the dance. Are you feeling up to me staying for a little while?"

She nodded her head.

"We could watch a film and see if there's any junk food I can raid from your kitchen?" You offered.

Emma let out a pained laugh as she shuffled back onto her bed so that there was room for you to get onto the bed with her too.

"I would love that."

You leaned in to press your lips to her forehead wanting to just be able to make her feel better.

"I'll go get some food and drink. Pick a movie and I'll set it up when I get back."
