Four or Dead

Chapter 73

Wyatt

Emma is here. She is with me finally. All those years watching over her and now I don't have to hide in the shadows anymore. I was so worried that if I told her that I had been watching her since freshman year that she would think I was a freak. The thing is, I wasn't completely honest with her on one thing because I didn't want to hurt her any more than she has been recent

The thing is, I did go after Asher and the others several times for hurting Emma. Back then I wasn't strong enough to take them on, and I caught on pretty quick that even though they bullied her they were also obsessed with her. It was like they say when you're kids...' the boys are pulling your hair because they like you.' I had told them several times to leave Emma alone, but they would beat me up and send me on my way with a warning. .7)

"Don't even think about talking to her or going near her." That's what they would growl in my face while I was curled up on the ground..')

But how could I tell Emma that? She loves them and besides...what good would it do now? Things are already going to hell. There's no point in rehashing past history.

I quickly finish showering and pull on a black t-shirt and sweats. When I walk back into the room I see Emma curled up on the bed right on top of the blanket. She must have passed out the second her head hit the pillow. I can only imagine the number of sleepless nights she's had since Zane took her. She was probably too scared that he would come for her while she slept, the bastard

I walk over to the bed and carefully pull the blanket over her. When I start to pull away she grabs my hand

"Don't go." She mumbles

I freeze. I'm not sure what to do. She's asking me to stay and of course, I want to if she really wants me to but I also want to give her some space

a little to give me some room, and I slide under the covers careful not to get too close to her. I took things a little too fast back at Zane's house, but my head was swarming with a ton of emotions and I was just so happy to see her. Now I'm kicking myself for taking advantage of her. So I am going to
