A Time To Love

Chapter Four

*Emma’s p.o.v*

Why was he doing that? Why was he making me feel wanted? That asshole trying to mess with my head.

I huff slumping down at out lunch table.

‘What’s up your butt?’ Ava questions.

‘Him.’ I grumble in response making Zach burst into laughter.

‘Shut up idiot!’ I slapped his arm.

‘So what’s wrong?’ Sasha asks.

‘I got partnered with him today in dance and he kept messing with me and being nice to me.’ I tried to explain.

‘What do you mean?’ Ava said confused.

‘In the dance we were doing he had to dip me down then bring me back up and he pulled me back up quite hard, then he whispered in my ear before kissing just under my ear.’ I extended my explanation.

‘Well that’s the desire he has for you as you’re his soul mate.’ Matt mentions.

‘Meaning if you make him jealous he’ll want you all to himself.’ Ava suggested with a glint in her eye.

Ava then went on to tell us her plan.

Zach stands up taking me with him, his arm snaking around my waist pulling me close to his body. I can feel the eyes of Jay burning into me. Zach notices and leans down kissing my cheek then forehead. We continue to make our way to the door of the food hall.

Pain shoots through my wrist, jolting my whole body. Hot tears roll down my cheeks, I spot Jay sucking the face of a red head. The pain heightens immensely making me scream out, the sound echoing off the walls. My body felt limp as I tumble to the floor, blacking out as I hit the ground.

*Jay’s p.o.v*

I rip myself away from the girl as I hear Emma scream, jumping to my feet. I watch as she falls to the ground.

‘You bastard!’ Her brunette friend yells at me.

‘How dare you reject her, she never did anything wrong!’ A blonde screamed, a boy who was obviously her soul mate pulled her away.

I ignore them and rush to Emma’s body lifting her into my arms carrying her away out of the view of everybody.

I carry her to her dorm and lay her down on her bed sitting behind her lifting Em up so she is resting on my chest.

I lean down kissing her neck in the same place I had earlier.

‘Stay with me, Em please wake up.’ I say leaning my head against her own.

I wish I could have her as mine, but I never can. It’s not safe for her to be with me.

My beautiful Emma. I kiss her neck again before running my hand through her blonde hair.

‘I’m sorry you have to be stuck with me for a soul mate, you deserve so much better.’ I whisper loving the feel of having her in my arms.

As she began to stir, I moved away from her leaning against her bedroom door.

*Emma’s p.o.v*

I woke up and remembered what had happened, the food hall, Jay.

I looked around and noticed I was in my bedroom and Jay was leaning against my wall.

'Why you here.' I ask curiously.

'I may not like you but I wasn't gonna let you die.' He said sternly.

'You should have.' I replied standing up facing him.

He switched our positions and trapped me against the wall.

'Don't say that, don't you ever say that.' His voice raised showing anger but also……hurt?

'Why not! It's not like you want me so why do you care.' I shouted shoving him off me.

'I don't.' He retorted before stalking out my dorm.

Why can’t he just want me like a normal soul mate? What made him not want me? Well I’m going to find out.
