Four or Dead Chapter 28 Two Years ago...Emma...

Jayden was sitting at an empty table in the library waiting for me. He hadn't seen me yet so I could run if I wanted to but he would find me and I wasn't going to risk that. Out of all of the Angels, he scared me the most. He was cold and never showed his true emotions. I was also intrigued by him because of his lack of emotion. While Asher was stoic and broody, Jayden is unmoved and unreadable.

"H-hi," I said as I stepped up to the table.

He didn't bother looking at me he simply says, "Sit."

I did as he asks as quickly as possible leaving one seat between us. "Where is the paper?" He asked me, his eyes fixed on his phone.

I ruffled through my backpack and pulled out the slightly thick packet of paper and slid it over to him. He let out a sigh like I had already made a mistake. "Why is it this thick?" He asked.

"I-1 included references for all the information I found in case you wanted to see how accurate everything is," I explained.

I wanted to be as thorough as possible but he seems to not appreciate Chapter 28

the extra paper. He grabs the packet with slam of his hand and I flinch. The motion catches his eye and he smirks just a tiny bit.

"You're a jumpy thing aren't you." He says his voice just a little amused.

He was letting things slip through his cold facade and it had my insides twisting with nerves. Just like when a kidnapper doesn't bother hiding his face because he plans to kill you anyway. The slips of emotion coming from Jayden had me wanting to run in the opposite direction so badly. I had no idea that those moments were showing me how much he wanted me to see the real him, and run away forever. I watched him skim through the packet and I am well aware that he had barely read it. When he quickly closed it he stood and walked to the nearest trash can and dumped it inside.

My mouth dropped open and my eyes followed him as he returned to his seat.

"Nothing about that meets the standards our project should be at. I gave you time to do this right and you still can't manage that. Just how stupid are you? This isn't an elementary school book report. Do it again. You have one more week before I kick you out of our group and I take over. You will get an incomplete and that will be the least of your worries." He threatened and I nodded and lowered my eyes from him just like I always did.

L always tried to never look anyone in the eyes if I could help it. The eyes are the window to the soul and I was sure if anyone really looked they would see the darkness where my soul should be. That innocent Chapter 28
