Underground

Chapter 43

Emery's POV

"I called dibs on the last piece" I heard a voice from downstairs waking me up.

"But I'm hungry So give it to me," I heard Zara's voice.

I think Zara and Isaac are fighting over food.

I looked to my side but Xavier wasn't there, where did he go. I set up and saw there were clothes on the end of the bed. it was an outfit and by the looks of it, grace and Zara picked it out.

I got up from the bed with the clothes in my hands and walked into the bathroom. I set the clothes on the counter and saw there was a shower basket full of shampoo, conditioner, and other stuff. I grabbed some of the shower products and got in the shower.

After taking a shower I  washed my face and brushed my teeth. I threw on the outfit, it was white sweat pants with a white crop top and a tan sweater. I zipped up the sweater halfway and brushed my hair, I put everything back and walked out of the bathroom.

I looked down and saw there were shoes on the floor at the end of the bed. I picked them up and they were black Nikes, I grabbed the socks from the shoes and put them on, I put the shoes on and walked downstairs. I heard everyone's voices coming from the kitchen, I walked into the kitchen and everyone was at the table laughing and eating, but Xavier wasn't there.

"Morning" I hear a deep husky voice.

I turned my head and saw Xavier cooking food on the stove, and I could get used to seeing that. I walked over and jumped on the counter behind him.

"How did you sleep," he asked looking at me then back to the food.

"Amazing," I said smiling.

And it's true, in the past week I finally got to sleep and it felt amazing. I got to sleep without a bad dream waking me up. I don't know how I was able to sleep but I did and I'm happy.

"Good," he said, "here, eat some breakfast," he said, handing me a plate with 2 pancakes, eggs, and bacon and my mouth started to water.

"Thank you," I said.

"You're welcome," he said, giving me a peck on the check.

I looked down to the plate and tried to cover me blushing.

"Are you blushing?" Xavier asked.

"No," I said looking at him.

I was.

"You were," he said, going back to cooking food.

I shook my head and laughed, I jumped down from the counter and sat down at the table with everyone else.

"Morning," I said, taking a bite of my food.

Woah, Xavier knows how to cook. This is so good, I wouldn't mind if he would come for me every day.

"Morning," they said.

"So, I was thinking and me, you and Zara go to the mall" Grace asked from the left side of me.

"That sounds great considering I need new clothes but I Have to go see Rain and I still have to work later today," I said.

"Maybe tomorrow," she asked.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure," I said, eating more food.

"So have any of the strippers give you a hard time, cause if they are I won't be scared to smack a bitch" Zara said.

I know damn well Zara won't hesitate to throw hands with anyone, then Grace will probably jump in.

"No one hasn't given me a hard time, "I said.

"Ok, but if they are, just give me the word and I'll smack a bitch" she said, stuffing her face with food.

"Ok," I said laughing and eating my food.

I was listening to Isaac and Elijah talking about cars but distracted when I felt a hand on my thigh. I turned my head and Xavier was eating his food, he was eating with his right hand and his left hand was on my thigh.

"You know it's not nice to stare at someone who's eating," he said.

"Sorry," I said, smiling looking away.

"It's ok," he said.

He brought his face closer to me "I like it when you stare at me" he whispers at me moving his hand up my thigh.

I closed my thighs trying to control myself and I think Xavier noticed because he was smirking.

"Xavier, "I said, placing my hand on top of his to stop him.

"What," he asked, smirking.

"We're at the kitchen table with everyone," I said.

"I guess we just have to wait till we're alone then," he said.

I smiled and nodded while eating my food.

"So Emery, we need you to do something," Elijah asked.

"Ok, what is it," I asked.

"We need you to watch some footage," Isaac said.

Footage?. Why do they need me to watch some footage?

"Why," I asked.

"Well it's footage from them the same night of the incident," Xavier said.

"Ohh," I said.

I don't know what to say, I was shocked when they asked me to watch footage of the same night I was raped.

"So I just sit and watch the footage," I asked.

"And see if you can spot the guy that, you know," Elijah said trying to find a word.

"That raped me," I said.

"I was trying to find a different word but yeah that works too," he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"But you don't have to do it if you are not ready, "Xavier said.

"You could wait and think about it if you want," Grace said.

"If I watch the footage and I spot the guy, what are we going to do," I asked.

They all looked at each other not knowing what to say, or they did know what to say but didn't know how to say it.

"We have a friend who is a part of the FBI and he said we can give him the footage and they handle it from there," Zara said.

It took me a couple of mins to decide, can I shit there and look for the guys that rape me. Would I be able to see the guy and not get flashbacks?

"I'll do it," I said.
