Four or Dead by G O A

Chapter 9

Asher POV

The man I am was Emma’s father stocked toward Emma’s bed to pull Leo away from her, but Jayden stepped in front of him blocking his way.

“Move.” The man said through gritted teeth, but Jayden stood his ground with his arms crossed against his chest.

“We aren’t letting you near her,” Jayden said pushing the man away. The guy must have been drunk because he stumbled back awkwardly almost falling to the ground. He stammered to his feet and launched himself straight at Jayden, and my friend easily sidestepped and let the old man fall face first.

“Hey! What’s going on in here?” A bulky man asked rushing into the room.

“Sir you need to calm down!”

The big guy grabbed Emma’s father and pulled him back while the man thrashed pointlessly in his hold.

“This is Emma’s father, and he isn’t supposed to see her until the police have spoken to him,” I said firmly while standing in front of Emma’s bed to block the old man’s view of her. The bulky guys who I can now see was a security guard dragged Emma’s father out an d the room fell silent again.

“Thank you.” A soft voice said from behind me, and I turn quickly to see Emma’s eyes looking in my direction.

I know she couldn’t see me, but she must have heard where I was because I could swear she was looking directly at me.

“As I said, no one will hurt you again,” Leo reassured her as he stroked her hair softly.

“But Emma, we need you to tell us, is your dad the one that has been hurting you?” Leo asked her.

She visibly recoiled into herself, but Leo was right, we needed to be sure she was far a way from the people who hurt her.
