Rose bed of lies

49

Zack pov

I watched the car that she was in drive away, I'd be lying if I said, I didn't wanna grab her arm, lock her downstairs, where no one could ever hurt her not even herself I'd make sure of it but that be a tad bit psychotic

And in this moment, delaying her from seeing her father, I think would probably make things worse.

I know I'd see her at school tomorrow,
I was making Zoe dinner, she sat at the island playing on her tablet. I knew I should've made Emma eat before she left,
I think I was too focused on the leaving part
The house felt empty, it's crazy. I wanted her gone so bad, God finally answered my prayer. This shit is why I don't believe in God like you're gonna tell me that someone is sweet and innocent as Emma goes through the shit that she does every day?? and she's all about that church shit she should've had the life that I used to think she did.
If There's a God how could he put her through that? how could he put someone who loves him through that? How could he take away my sister?

I Served up Zoe, some chicken pot pie myself
I sat in the chair that Emma usually did.
After we finished eating, I took Zoe up to bed once we finished one of the Mickey Mouse movies

"Zack.." she said half asleep as I carried her up the stairs.

" yes hun?"

"Did she have to leave?" I knew this was gonna be hard on her. This is why I didn't want her to get attached.

" yeah she did. She has her own family, but don't worry I plan to have her back here very soon"

"Really!?" Her eyes basically burst open

" I wouldn't lie to you, now close your eyes we're going to bed remember?"

she closed her eyes with a glued on smile I tucked her into bed

It was about 7 PM at this point I couldn't help just pacing around the house. I wasn't tired,
I knew what I was about to do would make Emma hate me, but that's okay She can learn to like me again.

I dialed her number hopefully, I don't regret this
It rang once twice three times

I honestly didn't think she was gonna answer for a second

" funny funny didn't expect you to call me so soon?"

"Amber"

" so serious, what's up?"

" it's about Emma"

"Oh, you mean that adorable little thing?
What did you to to her? I'll cut you"

"Whoa calm down I didn't do shit. Well I did, but that was then, I have a lot to tell you like a lot. I think it'd be better if you came over"

" be there in 30" she hung up the phone with that
Damn, not even a bye

My stomach was in knots. I hated this feeling.
I waited on the couch with some whiskey. I couldn't help wonder what Emma was doing right now. Wonder if she was okay? Did her dad and her already talked? Did he hurt her?
I wanted to text her, but what if he has her phone or something? Would that make things worse?

We had said before she left that she would text me first but what if she just doesn't, she didn't seem too sure that she'd ever get away?

What if I've lost her? I'm acting like some clingy dog, you know I'm a lot of things, but at least I have self-awareness

I wonder if other people talk to themselves as much as I do

The front door opened

" not even a knock huh?"

Amber smirked, grabbing the whiskey glass out of my hand, and taking a sip as she sat down

She was in a full black leather suit,  her and I only messed around a little bit, but I don't really know how to explain our friendship, She was honestly in love with my sister. She loved her more than anything. We actually only slept together because she said I looked like Zara that if Zara was a guy, I'd be her doppelgänger. She used me to help her get over it, though I don't think she ever will be, honestly I did the same

And as weird as it was sleeping with someone who was only sleeping with me because I looked like my sister, I couldn't say anything because I used bodies like hers to fill the numbness in me after Zara left I didn't care about anything else, but Zoe I just cared about not feeling empty

"Soooo what do we need to talk about?" She asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

" The light family and Jackson"
