Four or Dead

Chapter 22

Emma... Present...

After Asher and I made our way back to the cafeteria, the boys had already finished eating and Leo had saved some food for me. I ate quickly, well as fast as I could with the boys hovering around me. It was so strange and it would take time for me to feel comfortable with it but Iwas learning. To have four guys doting on me was probably every girl's dream, but to me, it didn't feel quite real. They were opening up to me, laying their hearts bare and I was still hiding things. (= I didn't want to hurt them or add to their worries but I was falling hard for this new life and I knew I needed to tell them everything before it was too late. So the moment we got home I asked them all to sit with me. "What's going on babe?" Logan asked and my face flushed at his words. z)

It was so strange to be called something like that without it being

attached to a disgusting remark.

"There is something I need to tell you all and I had hoped that having my father thrown in jail would fix this but now he's out and it has me worried. I was having nightmares about it last night." I paused and glanced at Jayden. "What is it?" He asked. Chapter 22

"I just want to say that I don't expect anything from you guys. If you decide not to help me regarding my father or don't want to deal with all my baggage I understand. Just say the word and I'll go." This had Logan shifting to object but I held my hand up to stop him. "I'm saying this

because you all didn't sign up for this trouble when you took me in.")

I looked at each of them to make sure they understood but they remained silent.

"Ok. During the summer my father told me he made a deal. A man he had done business with noticed me at a party and wanted to ask me out to dinner. I told him I was a minor and that he would need to speak with my father. I knew my father would object since he had other plans for me and dating would put a damper on things. The man went up to my father anyway. They spoke softly to each other for most of the evening and when they were done my father had a smile or his face.

"He told me that the man was willing to wait until I turned eighteen in a few short weeks before courting me. I knew better than to object, so I nodded in agreement. The day I turned eighteen my father had me dress up and the man came to our house. He told me that the man wanted me to marry him and he would wait until I graduated before carting me off to New York to live with him. That day though he wanted to share a special moment with me and my father had me take him to my room. That's where he...he thought us sleeping together and me being a virgin was a symbolic promise of the deal.

"Thad hoped that my father being locked up for what he did to me Chapter 22

would make the deal void, but then my father got out and I am afraid this guy is going to expect his deal to be fulfilled," I explained.
