Help Me

Chapter 7

Jake's POV

"Jake?" Emma chirps out.

"I saw you and you need help." 

"I'm fine, I can help myself." I get lost in her maze of words and stare into her beautiful minty eyes. I can see that they are perfectly lined with makeup. Her dark aurburn brown hair fits her beautiful face. "I'll see you tomorow." 

"I can help, you need it, I can help." she closes the door on my words. I sigh, her honor has overcome her need for help.

I can hear hushed shouting from inside, then Emma rings into my brain, "please be there, please be standing out side, I admit that I need your help now."

Emma Runs out the door but my standing there stops her. "I need you." she whispers. 

I go behind her and rush her along to a safer place. One we reach the park that is a few blocks away we stop. "When do you want to go back?" I ask.

"He really doesnt pass out till around midnight. Sorry. I really don't want to talk righ now." 

"Do you want to go to umm... whats his face... Dereks?" I ask her relizing she probally wants the comfort of her adonis boyfriend. 

"No." her thoughts read. "I guess, sure." is what really comes out. 

"How-"

"I'll walk." she cuts me off. 

"You can stay, I wont ask, you don't have to tell me. Unless you really want to go to Dereks. It's up to you, I guess."

"I just want to be alone."

"I know where we can go." I saty beheind her speaking the directions to my family's aparment.

"Is this your house?"

"No it's an aprtment complex. I'm on the third floor. My mom and sister are out, I'll leave you alone."

I lead her into the neat room and guide her to the unused bed. "I'll be in the living room, I'll give you space. I'll come back in a couple hours."

I can see the tears form in her eyes and her voice cracks as she talks. "Thank you." 

I shut the door and walk out. My bed is being used, and by a Pestinoul, a plain mortal, a human. I can hear the heavy breathing and sobs come from the beautiful lifeform laying in my fresh bed. I can tell I helped but I can tell she is scared. I want to hold her and tell her she will be safe, but what would that do. Scare her? That would make a mess.

                                                           *****************************************************************

"Emma," I whisper into my room. "It's midnight." I creep into my room and see the blue curtians whipping around from the wind outside. I peer out the window and see a fire escape leading to the ground. I look around the room before shutting the window. I can hear my mom and sister in the room over talking about 'the girl'. I slam the window hoping they hear and sense my anger. 

I go and plop down ont the unmade bed. I can see a paper that must ahve survived the crazy winds on the window. "Jake, thanks for the help. See you in schhol. --Emma" 

All my work to make her notice me and save her, she walks off in the moonlight, back to her hell. I quickly make the bed and get to work on the homework. My sleepless nights are boring so I've somehow made them work to work them to my advanage. I know that school tomorrow will be awkward, but I know what I must do. 

                                                                  **********************************************************

My alarm sounds to tell me stop reading and ge ready, like a normal kid, but not before checking i on Emma. "Like nothing happened. I can totally act like this whole Jake thing never happened. If I talk about it, it will remind me of Jake. I cant think about him."

Some odd feeling fills every part of my body. Blood drains my face, my stomach dose flips, and all my dignaty is gone. I did this because I heard her. She said she liked me. I helped her thinking she liked me, and now, shes gonna act like nothing happened. My feeling has drained and replaced by an angry mob overwhelming me. 

I storm to the bathroom pushing past my sister and into the cold shower. Its usually hot, but since I'm enraged I thought a cold shower would help me. It didnt. I look at the clock quickly and shout to my mom, "Leaving." I fall into my car and punch the steering wheel. "What a bitch! How could she do this!" I shout. I look arond and it seems as though no one has heard me, thank god. 

I take off, new plan in mind. Even though I am pissed at Emma something won't let me drift away. I feel because I have powers we are connected. I know her thoughts, her secretes. Life without them, without her would not be the same.
