Shattered Girl (Emmy)

"If it makes you feel better Em, we don't spend much time in this wing of the house. Our rooms are all in the East wing, and it's where we tend to spend most of our time." With that, Josh turned down a hallway, and after a couple of minutes, we were in a more relaxed part of the house. Large overstuffed chairs and a couch were scattered around the large room, and a flat-screen TV hung on the wall, surrounded by several gaming systems. At the other end of the room was a small kitchen and dining area. I also noticed six closed doors, three off each side of the room. A seventh door looked like it led into a bathroom.

"Wow, much better, "I grinned while looking around. There was even a small library set up on one side of the large room, and I couldn't wait to explore it. I have always loved to read, but I never had enough extra money to spend on books, and the local library didn't have much either considering how poor our neighborhood was.

"Yeah we like it," Jake added as he walked toward one of the closed doors. " this will be your room, once you feel better we can help you decorate it however you want. He pushed the door open and carried me into my new room, setting me gently onto the softest bed I had ever laid on.

"I love it," I grinned looking around at the beige and pastel blue room. "It's perfect, I'm not changing a thing," still ginning I looked up at the twins. They were both staring at me with heated expressions that made me immediately blush, and I glued my eyes to the comforter studying it like there would be a test later.

"Hey, don't be scared baby, Jake already promised that we would all keep you safe. We would never do anything to hurt you." Josh sat next to me, gently rubbing circles on my back.

"Not scared, just shy," I say quietly, still not brave enough to meet Josh's eyes.

"Ok, Jake clapped his hands, making me jump at the sound of skin hitting skin. "Let's get you settled so you can rest, maybe take a nap before dinner?" our parents won't be here tonight, they have another dinner party to attend for Dad's campaign. We could order food, and just relax and watch movies. "How does that sound Em?"
