EMILY
The next morning...
"Hey." i smiled as i called out to the boys standing close to my locker. I feel glad to see the people who actually care about me but i just hope they don't leave me in the future because i don't know if i worth having friends like them. You know as Joshua says, i'm useless and unimportant.
I sighed, then got closer to the boys.
"Morning." They greeted.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ryan asked me noticing my sad expression.
"Did someone touch you? Is it him again or that asshole?" Chase rushed out the questions moving forward and actually angry. "Or-"
"No no I'm fine." I shook my head pulling him back before bringing out a smile to show them that i'm actually okay.
Chase narrowed his eyes at me not believing me.
"Are you sure? i swear-"
"I said i'm fine, nobody touched me." i said interrupting him. "See, no mark or bruise is on me." I said turning

I told the boys everything about what happened yesterday because I didn't want to keep anything from them. I feel like i could trust them. "You actually didn't know about all that before but Henry knew and didn't tell you?" Xavier asked, his voice deepening. I nodded and answered. "He wouldn't have called me his little sis if he didn't know." "That fucking asshole." Chase retorted looking over to Henry's group table which Henry hasn't returned after he walked out the cafeteria. "So what are you going to do now?" Ryan asked me raising an eyebrow. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know but i don't want to file a case against Joshua anymore." I quietly told them. "Why?! That motherfucker abused you since you were little" Xavier gritted out angry. I sigh looking down at my fingers. "I know. It's just that, i don't want to hurt Catherine's feelings. I could see the sadness in her eyes when she told me that Joshua left them som
Emily. "Emily wait up," Ryan called out to me as I hurriedly walk towards the roller coaster feeling excited we are currently at an amusement park and so far being here, it's been so fun. The rides and games we tried were extremely thrilling and awesome, It's been ages since I had this much fun. "Nah, I can't wait for you. You walk way too slow like a heavily pregnant woman" I whinnied but slowly reduced my pace. I just couldn't wait to get on the rollercoaster. "God I can't believe you guys want to get on that scary thing, ill probably throw up after the first round" Chase stated frowning his face and pretending to gauge against the thought. The guys have always been at my side the whole time and I couldn't help but feel like I'm being babysitted by them. I look up at him and pouted. "It can't be that bad, I tried it a lot of times when I was little." I whinnied licking my vanilla ice cream. God! this is the third of ice cream I've had so far and I just couldn't get tired of
Emily "Where have you been?" His voice was scarily calm. "I-i-i" I just couldn't find the right word to say or come up with. Joshua is in my room. Right now I wish that the ground will open and I will gladly jump inside. His eyes travelled down to the white leather in my hands. "Oh Emily" He chuckled darkly. "You know I hate it when you disappoint me." With each words he got up and took slow menacing steps towards me. I backed up against the wall in fear, feeling my heart pounding against my ribcage.The way Joshua is approaching me felt like a predator slowly stalking his prey. I was cornered, no escape. Earlier this morning he told me not to eat or make any food for myself but I was tempted like really hungry so I decided to sneak out to buy some snacks from the little savings I had. Now see where it has gotten me to. My eyes darted to the door and I thought about making a run for it which i did. Big mistake.
Emily I woke up and looked at the clock telling me it's 6:30am, time to get up and get ready for school. Yeah! Note the sarcasm. Its like my second worst place in the world. Sighing heavily, I crawl off the bed to the window and push the curtains aside. The window is still locked but the sunlight managed to pour in and bathe everywhere with its light. After the morning rays steals into my room, I get up to trudge slowly into the bathroom. I feel a lot better as soon as warm water rains on me. I like it when it's warm, it always make me feel at ease. When I was done, I put on a purple plain shirt, black leggings and a pair of white saddle shoes.I threw my black hoodie on, making sure to leave my hair down. Then I looked at the time and silently curse In my head 6:54am!. I need to make breakfast for Joshua or I'll end up beaten up this morning and i really don't want that. I hurried downstairs, did my chores and proceeded in making breakfast, which was
Emily "Huh?" I asked feeling confused. "I'm Xavier." he said stretching his arm. I gently took his big but warm hand feeling sparks and tingles."Emily." "The name's Chase M'lady." The boy with brown eyes said. He dramatically bowed and took my hand in his, placing a kiss on it. I chuckled and face the boy with blue eyes who smiled shyly at me. "Ryan." he said. I nodded and gestured for them to follow me. I took them to the office where they collected their schedules and locker numbers. Ryan is a junior like me while Xavier and Chase are seniors. I showed them around, the classes, gym, janitor closet, cafeteria, and other place in the school. When it was 7:55, I waved at them and went to my first period. Thankfully no one was in the class so I sat at the last seat in the back row. Eventually, students started filling up the class and I got dirty looks from the ones that spotted me. I gnored them all and focused on the biology teac
"what the fudge?" "Fudge?" Chase snickered. "I don't like swearing." I said glaring at him. I turned to face Xavier who was already looking at me with his usual blank expression. "Why did you do that?" "Do what?" "Defend me of course!" I exclaimed angrily. "Aren't you supposed to say thank you?" Ryan chirped. I forgot he was here considering the fact that he's been really quiet. "He made it 10× worse. He just made things worst for me!" "Don't tell me you were going to let that asshole order you around, i helped you the least you can say is thank you." He said getting angry. I shook my head backing away from them. "No! You don't get it? Because you defended me Henry is only going to get worse. He will start breathing down my neck every 24/7 in the school. Please I really don't want that." Giving them one last glare, I stormed pass them going to an empty class to sit down. I know what I
EMILY I opened the door gently and entered the house slowly closing it behind me. Inside was dark and quiet, too quiet. I quietly tiptoed going to the staircase. When a " You are late." voice boomed, making me let a small scream in fright. I turn around slowly to where the voice came from to see a figure sitting on the armchair close to the window curtain. 'Why didn't I see him there before?' Joshua stood up slowly and started walking towards me making step back with every step he took, I stopped when I reached the wall behind me. He looked down at me with an angry expression written on his face. I could barely see his face thou but I knew he was very angry. " Why are you late?" He growled at me. "I-I-Im sorry. I lost trac-" A punch at my face stopped me from completing my words. I let out a scream of pain, it hurt so badly."I'm sorry." I cried out. "Oh, you are now whoring around, Huh? With who? Tel
EMILY"Hello Emily." He said as his eyes roam my whole face and body. I couldn't help but gape at this guy standing in front of me. He was wearing a black leather jacket that was worn on top of his tight black t-shirts. His jeans tightened around his hips as he stood. I raise my eyes back to his face that holds a well defined jaws and perfectly lined eyebrows, the straight nose sitting at its rightful place and his lips.. so full and pink. All those handsome features were placed on the wrong guy. He was like a.. a sexy god, but I hate this god's gut standing in front of me.I look back at his eyes and I couldn't help but sqwirm under his gaze. I gently clasp my hands together to stop it from shaking but failed miserably. My whole body was practically shaking.I quickly drop my eyes to the floor when I saw him majestically walk his way towards me."Emily, eyes on me." He demanded with authority. I swallowed a huge lump at the back of my throat with it maki

He quickly entered and closed the door behind him and I heard a click sound shortly after, making my eyes widen in shock. 'Did he just lock the door?' I asked myself. "W-what are you doing?" I stammer moving backwards with fear gripping me. He just smirked and started walking towards me and when he got a bit closer, he stopped. "Just wanted to have a little conversation with my little sis." He said shrugging. "L-little sis?" I furrowed my brow. He frowned."Don't you know?" I slightly bend my head sideways still confused. "Know what? I don't understand." He muttered some incoherent words under his breath that I barely heard before saying out loud. "Nevermind." Then he turned around, walked to the door unlocking before storming out of the room. While I thought, 'What the hell just happened?' I shake my head and also walk out of the room. I got closer to the dinning room and saw that Henry was already sitted
Emily If you know how it feels like when you are in need of so many answers to your questions but you don't know how to eventually get the answers then you probably know how I feel like now. A lot of questions rushed through my mind as I stood there in shock to see Henry. Joshua introduced me to them as his daughter and them to me as Mrs Parker and her son, Henry, I knew that immediately I saw the resemblance but that didn't answer the real questions going through my head. Like, what the fudge are they doing here? How did Joshua know these people? Is the Henry's mum Joshua's business associate or one of Joshua's girlfriend? But she doesn't seem like a person who sleeps around. Or wait, is she the woman he was talking to on the phone last night? Nah, expect he doesn't show his true colors to a woman, no woman would like a man as evil and devious as this man. But why is Henry here? What is really going on he

"Honey." I stopped singing when I heard a voice call from outside my room. "Honey." My mum knocks at the door and enters. Pausing my game, I sigh and faced her. "What now, Mum?" "Honey, I just wanted to remind you of tonight's dinner." She quietly said. I sighed. "I know mum, you already told me that about 7times."&n
When the bell rang indicating closing time, I went to the school parking lot where we all agreed to meet up.On getting there, I spot Xavier's white car and quickly went to wait behind it and about 5 minutes later, I saw the guys approaching me."Yo Ems." Chase called out when they got closer. I inwardly smile at the nickname but pretends to not like it. He has been calling me that since lunch break.I glare at him feigning annoyance while he just laughed it off and put his right arm around my shoulders but I quickly moved forward making his arm drop off me."Chase isn't going home now because he got a detention in Physics class." Ryan told me."Hey I can talk okay?"Ryan rolled his eyes.I faced Chase with a surprised face. "Detention? On the third day of resuming with us? But you are new. What did you do?"He shrugged. "Well I think I have gotten on the bad side of Mr Michael. Have you seen this man? Always
I gently opened the door and entered into the house before closing it quietly before me. Then i slowly walked into the sitting room and thank God I didn't see Joshua there. So I turned around to go to my room but stopped when I heard a noise at the kitchen. I gripped my bag tightly and quietly made my way to the kitchen. I immediately breathe out in relief when I saw Joshua standing close to the washing basin with his back facing me but he was on a call. "I miss you too." He said to the caller. "What time will you come? Let me know so I can get things prepared over here." I turned around going upstairs to my room not wanting to eavesdrop furthermore, beside I might get into a big trouble if he caught me. I got to my room and sat down on the bed, thinking about what the boys and I discussed about. I don't know if I should file a case against Joshua because I'm scared, I'm really scared. What if I loose? I'm very sure he will find me
"You know, i used to be a very happy kid, a kid that had friends to played around with. I was like a child who spent her days dreaming and living on fantasies. I didn't even know Joshua wasn't my real father because he raised me up like a real father would do, I used to call him Dad. Whenever he had the chance or was free from work, he would take me to some amazing places to spend time with me. However, our favorite place was the beach that was close to our house at Florida. We would go there at night to watch the stars." Smiling sadly at the memories, I glanced up at the boys to see them listening attentively. "When everything changed on my 10th birthday." ⬅⬅Flashback⬅⬅ "Bye Em, I promise to give you your present tomorrow and happy birthday once more." I smile as my friend wave at me. "Thanks Bulbu. Goodbye." I wave back at her before going down of the school bus that just dropped me home. I feel very happy today because it's my birthday. Dad
