Four or Dead

Chapter 81

Jayden 12

Asher has been checking the time on his phone every few minutes since Emma called to say she was coming home. I'm not sure if this will be a quick visit or if she is officially moving back in, but I am just glad to see her again so soon. The house is oddly quiet without her here. It's hard to believe how we handled the silence before she ever came to live with us. Things have changed so much, and it hasn't slowed since the day we brought Emma into our lives

Something is off with her though and it has me worried. I know she is dealing with a lot, I understand more than anyone given my past, but it's more than that. The way she keeps looking at me, and how she seems a little nervous around me making me wonder if she's upset with me for some reason. Things seemed good with us before she left, more than good. So what could it be? .*

A knock comes at the door and Asher is out of his seat faster than lightning. Emma's smiling face greets him as soon as the door opens and he pulls her into him immediately. She lets out a small surprised laugh but wraps her arms around his waist. Asher's head raises from where he was resting it on top of Emma's head and focuses on the guy standing directly behind her

Wyatt

I vaguely remember him, but that's about it. He seems to have turned

into Emma's shadow, and I can't say exactly how I feel about it. If she is interested in him I guess we can't be too mad. She already has the four of us wrapped around her finger, what's one more? I'*)

Asher moves away from the door to let Wyatt in but he doesn't let Emma go, instead, he tucks her into his side while giving Wyatt a look of disapproval. I *)

"Play nice," Emma warns him and Asher lets out a grunt of an agreement

Wyatt closes the door behind him and stands awkwardly waiting for someone to offer him to sit or move. Emma tears herself from Asher and takes Wyatt's hand and leads him into the living room where the rest of us are waiting. Leo and Logan stand to greet her with a kiss on the cheek and I give her a small smile that she returns with one of her own

"So you missed us so much that you couldn't stay away huh?" Logan says to Emma

"You could say that." She shoots back with a sassy smirk

She leads Wyatt to a spot where they can sit side by side. She looks at him and they seem to have a quick silent conversation before he nods his head and she clears her throat. She hasn't let go of his hand even when they sat down, and it looks like she's holding it even tighter now

Something is wrong if she is so tense. >)

"Actually I also came because there's something I need to tell you all." She pauses and takes in a breath. "First I want to say that no matter how you feel about this news, anything that happens after is my decision to make. I won't be pushed aside unnecessarily. I know you guys want to protect me from all the bad that's coming but I won't let that happen. I have men depending on me, and I am working with The Angels, not for them. So if we cant come to an understanding I will have to handle things on my own. Okay?"
