She Has My Heart Forever

Chapter 37 Big Brother Making Trouble

Rye POV

Emily and I are becoming closer friends and I'm glad. I love that. I really like her but its kinda hard right now. I mean, I'm trying to get my memories back but I always wanna spend time with my family AND with Emily. Either way today is a long day of school and she's picking me up.

"Rye! Emily's here!" mom calls from downstairs. I smile and grab my bag, heading downstairs to see her standing there with some other boy. 

"Hey Rye, my brother James." she says. My heart jumps up again.

"Morning. You ready?" I ask. She nods and I look back to mom. "We're leaving."

"Alright, have fun at school." she says smiling. I nod and we leave, starting our walk down the street.

"So, how is everything at home?" she asks taking my hand. We always hold hands for some reason but I LOVE it.

"Its really good so far, the memories are still pretty much gone but other then that good." I say making her smile.

"I'm glad." she says. Most of the way to school is quiet other then some small talk. Soon we're there and we walk in to see the rest. "Say, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out after school."

"Sure, sounds like fun. I'd like to." I say. She nods and we walk to class, math. I'm having such a hard time with it right now that I have to take extra classes from our teacher on the weekends. Bummer, I know.

 "Alright class." Out teacher says walking in. "We don't have much to do today other then go over what we're been doing the past few days." he looks to me. I sigh and look down.

"Don't let it get to you that you need help Rye." Emily says patting my back.

"It still sucks." I say. She sighs and pinches my cheek, taking me by surprise. "Hey!"

"What?" she asks smiling.

"You..that hurt!" I say rubbing my cheek. 

"Sure it did you big baby." she says. I smile but as I turn the teacher is standing right next to me.

"I'm...I'm sorry sir." I say looking down.

"I just wanted to tell you that this weekend I'm away so we won't be studying." he says.

"Oh..uhh..okay." I say. He nods and walks to the front of the class. I look back to Emily who's laughing. "Really?"

"What? Its funny." she says. I chuckle and we start our work.

~Break~

Emily and I walk down the hallway, talking about the upcoming test.

"You think you'll pass?" I ask. She shrugs.

"I'm not sure. I'm really worried about it but it shouldn't be that hard right?" she says. I nod. We leave the main building and as we walk I hear some noise coming from the elemetery. I look to Emily before walking there to see Jace being beaten up by some girl. I rush over to them and pull her away. "Whats your problem?!"

"Who are you?" she spits. 

"Why are you beating my brother?" I ask kneeling down to help him up. His cheek is cut and he has bruises all over his stomach. 

"Cause he didn't have my money." she says. I groan and stand up.

"You touch him one more time..."

"Or what?" she asks. She acts like she's the king of the school and she's like..8! I push her back and she stumbles over a bench, falling to the dirt.

"That." I say before turning back to Jace and picking him up. "I'll take you home." I look to Emily.

"I'll go with you." she says. I nod and we make our way away from school and to my house. I open the door to see mom sitting on the couch.

"Rye? What are you doing here and what happened?!" she asks after seeing him.

"He was being beaten by some girl. I brought him home." I say. She nods and takes him from my arms.

"I'll take care of him, okay? You two go back to school." she says. I nod and we rush back to school just before break is over. Thankfully I don't live to far away. We walk in but before we get to class a man from the police stops us.

"Rye Mellark?" he says. I look to Emily.

"Yes." I say.

"Is it right that you pushed a little girl back on the playground?" he asks. Wow...thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard a cop say.

"Yeah but she was beating my brother." I say. He sighs and nods.

"She stumbled back and hit a rock, causing bad bleeding on the back of her head. She was taken to the hospital." he says. 

"What?! I didn't push her that hard. I was just helping my brother." I say.

"I understand that but we have to call your parents and head to the station." he says. Well....I guess I'm a criminal now.
