Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 129

ok my time looking through the menus before settling on a Chinese place we all liked, and Drew placed our order. Since we had almost half an hoor before our food arrived, I decided to bring up a question that had been on my mind for a while. "So what do we do know?" I asked, addressing the question to everyone.

"What do you mean, baby girl? Josh asked.

"I mean, I'm safe from my father, so that problem has been taken care of, hut your dad and my mom are still missing. What do we do about that?" I Inoked at the four brothers. I knew they all loved their father, and I didn't want to sound uncaring because of my nonexistent relationship with my mother. At the same time, I wanted to escape this city and all its had memories; I wanted a life with all six of us, somewhere that we could all be happy. How did I say that without coming off and sounding heartless and uncating?

It turned out Drew had an answer. We are meeting with our family attorney, Mr. Shannon, later this week; he will know what steps we need to take After that we will continue with our plans like before. We are going to find a house for us, and as soon as we can, we will move there. I don't think any of us feel truly comfortable staying here especially with how easily you were taken. He paused, glancing at the other guys, who all nodded in agreement. "We want you safe, comfortable, and happy, and we will go wherever we need to accomplish that," The others nodded in agreement again, and I felt my eyes sting with unshed tears. They loved me enough to leave everything they built behind to ensure I was safe and happy.

"Sweetheart, why are you crying?" Jake asked, moving to pull me into a hug. All I could do was sniffle into his shoulder; it took me a few minutes to speak.

You are all willing to give up everything you have here to ensure I'm safe, but I can't let you do that. You have built so much here; I won't ask you to leave it all behind," I said with a trembling voice. "Love, we would do anything for you; if you want to leave the city, line, move to the other end of the country, great, wherever we need to go for us to be happy, we will," Patrick said firmly. "We will work it out," Mike promised.

"Besides, there were several houses we saw that we liked. After the meeting with Mr. Shannon, we will get serious about finding a place just for us." Jake promised, and I nodded.

"Thank you, all of you," I said, my voice still a little shaky. Before I could say anything else, all the guy's phones went off, and a computerized voice announced loudly that someone was approaching the front door. I jumped at the sound, my heart racing, and a squeak escaped my lips before I could stop it.
