Finding and Changing Emily

Chapter 31: Daniel

As soon as we got into the room, I pushed Emily against the door. I began kissing her neck, her collar bone any place that I could touch. One of her hands was in my hair and her other one was unbuttoning my shirt. When she got it off, she ran both hands down my stomach, stopping at my waist. I then began to removed her shirt when she pulled away.
"Daniel, stop."
I looked at her and she had tears in her eyes. She went into the bathroom and locked the door.
"Emily?" I said as I knocked.
But there was no response from here. She stayed silent, I could hear her crying but that was it.
I left the room and went down the hall.
"Amanda?" I said.
"Daniel, what's wrong?"
"Emily." I said. "She locked herself in the bathroom. Please go talk to her."
She left and went into my bedroom. I decided that maybe I should figure out what I could do to make her feel better. James was in the living room, watching the tv is Spanish for something to do.
"Can we talk?" I asked him.
"Sure bro, What's up?"
I sat down and began to speak. I told him about how Emily and I were making out in the woods and then how she told me to stop and looked at me with fear in her eyes. Then I told him my secret. He was surprised by it, but he didn't judge.
"Dude she was raped right? That means that you need to make sure that she feels confortable with you. As for your secret, maybe you should tell her."
"James if I told her she would run from me. Who wouldn't?"
"Danny," he started. "If you don't tell her then it won't get better. You need to be honest."
I hated when he called me Danny but I knew he was right. I needed to tell Emily but the thing was, was I strong enough to do it? And what would her reaction be?
