Chapter Twelve

Emily’s POV

“Em?”

Are you kidding me? All I want to do is make out with this boy! God! I turned to see…

Andy. Dear god, I’m going to kill him.

“Hey Andy. What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to hide the annoyance in my voice.

“I’m on a date, with that bartender from the other night. Why, did I interrupt something?” he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

“Of course not.” Harry answered quickly, resulting in Andy raising his eyebrow at the two of us.

“Good.” He smiled, dragging me towards the bar.

“God Andy, shouldn’t you be with your date?” I asked, pulling away from him and sitting on a stool.

“He’s serving you a drink sweetie. Harley, this is James. James, this is Harley.” Andy introduced.

“Hey.” James smiled, offering his hand.

“Hi. And my name is Emily.” I replied, looking him over.

“Good to know.” He grinned and then continued to serve other people at the bar.

James was definitely the guy Andy would go for. He had chestnut brown hair, tan skin, a nice built body and a small mole on the top left if his upper lip. If he was straight I would definitely be interested.

“So, what’s going on with you and curly?” Andy asked.

“Nothing, something, I don’t know. I was trying to find out but you had to come in.” I said, giving him a glare.

“Aww, does lil’ Harley want her first kiss.” He teased, making James laugh.

“Funny. But you know very well I’ve done a lot more than kiss. It was with your brother.” I smirked, downing the shot that was in front of me.

“TMI Harley, TMI!” he groaned.

“But if you must know, Harry and I have kissed. And it was perfect. But I don’t think he likes me.”

“Why not little one?” Andy asked, giving me a hug.

“Because. He didn’t ask me to be his girlfriend. I bet he only kissed me because I had a nightmare again.”

“What?”

Oh shit. I thought. I told Andy the nightmares stopped years ago.

“You told me they stopped years ago!” he growled.

“They did, but they came back a year and a half ago. I didn’t want to worry you.”

“Honey, I told you that you could call me. Why did they start?” he asked, giving me a hug and rubbing my back soothingly.

“I got a call from Daddy and then that night I saw a news story about the war overseas and I was scared it was him. They said people were dying. So almost every night since then I’ve had a dream that I get a call and Daddy’s dead.” I whispered, tears falling onto my cheeks.

“Oh baby, Come here.” He said, pulling me into a big hug. “I’m going to take you home okay?”

I nodded and listened as he told James he would call him later.

“Wait, I need to tell Harry.” I said.

“Okay hunny.”

We made our way to Harry and the other boys and I told them that Andy was taking me home. As I turned to leave I was immediately stopped by Harry.

“Em, I’m coming with you. And don’t try to stop me.” He said as he saw me open my mouth to protest.

I just nodded and followed Andy out to his car.

Andy’s POV

I’m still mad at Harley for not telling me the nightmares came back, but seeing her face when she told what happens during them, I felt my anger fade away. Even though I met Harley through my brother, I still feel like I’ve known her my entire life. I feel like I need to protect her from everyone, including my idiotic brother. That Harry kid seems good for her though. I mean, he seems to care about my Harley a lot. I’m driving towards her place with Harley asleep in the back and Harry in the front with me.

“So, Harry. It appears you like Harley then?” I ask casually, trying to fill the irritating silence.

“Uhmm, yeah. I do.” He mumbled, looking at his fingers.

“Good. But know this, if you even think about hurting her, just for a second, I will kill you.” I said with a plain face, still facing out the windshield.

“I-I would never!” he stuttered nervously.

It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.

“Chill dude, I’m just kidding. But honestly, Em’s been through a lot. She needs someone to look after her.”

“I won’t leave her until she asks me too.”

“Good. Now having said that, you can carry her to her room.” I smiled.

He smiled at me then picked Harley out of the backseat and carried her inside. I hope this boy will be good for her.
