Part 5: Em...Look at me...

Heyyyy I'm backkkkk

(Btw I'm going to make it so that from now on, whenever Hideo, Emika, Tremain, Rider, etc gets interviewed the person doing its name will be Sam! I think this will be easier instead of having like five billion names soooo yeah! But if anyone has more names I'm totally open to that to)

ENJOYYY ❤️

*⚠️Warning: Abuse⚠️*

HIDEO'S POV-

"-HIDEO!!" I just chuckle. They told me this wasn't a kids show, so I said what came to my mind. I mean come on how did they think an 18 year old boy who reads wattpad for a living would respond to something like that. But if ever asked if I regretted saying that, the answer would be. No. Not at all.

I chuckle once more and turn my attention back to Sam. Before I can comment on the weird look he is giving me, he smirks and my eyes just flick around as I give a small uncomfortable laugh.

"Your making me uncomfortable." I say in a monotone voice. He pulls back for a second before quickly laughing. Before I can even react though his hand reaches out and he snatches my phone.

I give a small laugh but stay silent. I may look  calm on outside but on the inside I am panicking. I have thinks I want to keep a secret. So that means that very last thing I need is someone going through my phone.

He twirls it in his hand for a second before smirking.
"We're going to be calling a couple people." I try and crack a smile but nothing really shows through.  I already know that the second they see Emikas name they will call her. Not just cause I have her contact but because compared to everyone else who has both their  first and last names. Emika Chen is labeled....

Em's ❤️

Yeah...Just a little suspicious. We both came to an agreement years ago that we wouldn't say anything about our relationship for safety reasons.

So no. I don't need to dismantle every carefully crafted word, look, and action just so nobody would suspect anything by letting someone go through my phone.

I smile through clenched teeth and force a laugh before saying.
"That sounds fun and all but maybe we could do that another time." Sam narrows his eyes before they light up again with a malicious glint. I shrink back. He knows. He somehow opens my phone and gets in.

Okay, this has gone to far. I stand up and try and reach out for my phone but he just pulls it out of my reach.
"Sam, love you man. But like come on. That's my phone! Give it back."

Sam just laughs, and pushes me back. He slams his hand into my chest a little harder then I would have liked and I stumble back a little. I stare up at him....I always thought Sam was so nice...I mean I could never picture him hurting me or anyone for that matter.

So yes. I'll admit. It surprised me when I peered down and rubbed my chest a little from the impact. A second later his eyes gleam as he finds what he's looking for.

"Em's? With a heart?" He wolf whistles before pressing the button to graph her in front of us.

(Graph is just a fancy term I created for a holographic FaceTime 😂)

It takes nearly five rings for Emi to pick up which alone is pretty concerning considering she almost always picks up before the first ring. I swear, it's like the girls sixth sense. She just knows.

But when she finally does pick up I can instantly see that something is wrong. Her head is bowed down and turned ever so slightly to the side. As if she is looking at or trying to hide something.

"Hey Hideo! Can I ummm...Call you back, in like...Uh...Ten minutes." She sounds pretty breathless and almost like she has been crying. Forgetting about the rest of the crowd I step closer to the phone so I'm the only one in view.

"Yeah, of course. Are you okay?" My voice lowers down and I try and make it as calming as possible. She gives a sharp nod and then hangs up. Or at least she thought, even over the phone I watch as she presses her finger just a little to high for the end button to register her touch. She slowly shakes her rainbow waves away from her face and let's her lead lift up.

My breath catches in my throat as I see what she had been hiding. A large bruise covers the side of her face and her lip is covered in dried blood from where it has previously busted open. More tears threaten to spill over.
But I could tell you who's.

"Emi...Look at me..." I whisper. Her head rockets up to meet mine.
"I thought I hung up on you." She states with a humorless laugh. There is a ghost of a smile on my face from the inside joke. But at the moment that is the last thing I care about.

"Who did this." My voice is deadly calm. A smile flits across Emi's face.
"You need to get so overprotective. I just walked into a door." I stare at her through the screen and cock an eyebrow.

"And did that door hit you back." My voice is flat and so sarcastic that it even brings Emika to give me an eye roll.

"Really Hi-" I cut her off.
"It's not fine. Somebody hurt you Mi." She looks me straight in the eyes and is silent. A moment later I hear her let out a sigh. It's so full of sorrow and regret that the only way to explain it would be to say it's like an exceptance breath.

I would only explain it as a single breath that is produced when you know that you have lost the fight. You know that there are no more battles for you and your armies to win, and no more wars to partake in. It is a breath that states that you are done. That you are finished.

"Ren." While her words are clear, her voice is barely above a whisper. Yet, somehow I still catch it. My lips lift into a deep scowl and red flashes across my eyes. How dare that man hurt her. How dare he lay a finger on another human being for any reason at all. No reason could it ever would justify this action. No matter who you are, what power you hold, you need to treat everyone with respect. You treat them will the upmost importance and no matter what you do you never let them hurt like how Emika is hurting now.

"I will kill him." I manage to growl out. She just rolls her eyes.

"You would look terrible in orange don't you even dare." Her joking doesn't even deter me from my nearly murderous rage. Keeping my face void of any emotion. I place my hand over my heart as if I was offended.

"I would look absolutely amazing in orange thank you very much." I growl out. She just raises an eyebrow. I want to laugh but then I remember the situation and my thin lips that has once arched into the smallest of smiles fades away.

"Why didn't you tell me he was hurting you. Or even Asher he would have done something. Tremain to im sure." She looks down and a tear drips down her   cheeks.

"I hide it once, and then I hide it again. So I figured I might as well hide it every time after that. I guess after a while I just got sued to it." Her voice was light...Almost airy. But anyone could tell that each word held a deeper meaning.

My heart almost seems ready to rio itself apart. I'm supposed to be a good boyfriend. How could I not have noticed. I turn my eyes up to hers.

"That is never something you should be used to Emika Chen." My voice is soft, and it cracks at the end. I hadn't even realize that soft tears had been dripping down my face.

It may take months or maybe even years to piece apart and examine what exactly Ren did to her. Maybe we would never know the true extent of what Ren has said and done to her, and maybe we wouldn't ever know the entire effect it had on Emika. But what I did know is that never again will Ren touch Emika.

Ever.

Cause she is my family.

And everyone should know, that never under any circumstance should you mess with my family.

Don't worry...I'm well aware how terrible this one was...I promise a better one will come out soon 🥲💔✊
