Four or Dead

Chapter 49

Jayden...Present..

The guys were vibrating in anticipation for Emma to return home. She had only been gone a short time, but with how things had been between us when she left it made the time apart seem longer. I tried to keep my usual cool with the guys but that night I barely slept. Just knowing she wasn't in the house made me anxious. I have no idea how any of us were going to handle her being gone for weeks with Zane Dalton. I swear at his name in my mind. I hated that guy and I didn't even know him. J?!

He wanted Emma and that was enough to make me hate him. She was ours. She was right, we hold onto her too tight because to us she is precious. We had spent all those years hurting her, but you know what the old theory was about bullying girls. \*

'Boys pull pigtails because they have a crush on you.'

I guess there is truth in that. I could tell the other guys were as fascinated by Emma as I was back then, and now she is ours but now there was a chance we could lose her. As much as I try to reassure the guys that there is nothing to worry about, my insides are twisted with worry. I can't lose her. If I did there was no way I could come back from it. I had already lost everyone I have ever loved and she was my second chance

"Hello? Is anyone home?" My heart stops at the sound of Emma's voice

echoing through the house and a rare smile spreads across my face

I am going to miss that voice

I quickly gather myself and make my way downstairs to find Logan lifting Emma in a desperate hug. Her eyes meet mine over his shoulders and she smiles at me

"Hey, Jay." She says walking toward me once Logan sets her down

I reach out and brush a strand of her hair aside and she leans into my touch. This girl had my heart now and all I wanted to do was sweep her up in my arms and lock us together in my room for days. But we only had tonight. One last night

"Don't get shy on me Jay." She says stepping closer to me and giving me a sly smile

"Never," I whisper to her before meeting her lips with mine. \*

I didn't usually show affection in front of people as much as the others but I was desperate to touch her

She smiles into our kiss and wraps her arms around my neck. The feeling of her body against mine makes my heart clench in pain. How could I let her leave us? I needed her here in my arms just like this forever. She pulls back from me and looks me straight in the eye and we share a silent moment wrapped in each other
