I was sitting on my bed waiting for Jeremy to get ready for school when suddenly a strong set of wind blow through the window. I stood up to close the window when I saw a piece of paper stuck on the window gap. I pick it up and it read:
'Miss me?- Dad'
All of a sudden I froze and can't hear or notice anything around me because the next thing I know is the paper being ripped out of my hand by none other than Jeremy, he must of finish getting ready.

"Emily, don't worry I'm here. I'm not going to let him go anywhere near you I promise and beside he is in jail. He can't go near you"
Jeremy said as he lift me up and lay me gently on the bed.

Tears start to flood down my face as the memories come flooding back. I'm scared but at the same time knowing I don't have to go through it alone anymore.

It is now lunch and I am lining up to get my food when I felt a warm pair of arm goes around my waist instantly knowing who it is.

"Hi gorgeous, feeling any better?"

"Yeah" I nod and whisper as I force a smile onto my face. I just can't help but scare of what he can do without being outside the jail. He can know dangerous people. The thought of that scare me.

He must have seen it right through me but he just sigh and kiss my temple lightly then turn back to talk to James and josh but his arms never leave my waist.

The rest of the day went by fast. Properly because I zone out most of the time and can't stop thinking about what he will do to me. How can my own father, my own blood do something to his daughter his.

Jeremy pov

I'm worried. And not because of the note but because of how Emily react to it. She is going to have really bad anxiety disorder soon. She just got happy and now he have to take it away from her. As long as I live he or whoever work for him will not lay a finger on her or be near her.

At lunch the boys notice her change in attitude so when she went to talk to Mia I told them quickly and they instantly agree that they will help me protect her.

It is now dinner and we are having spaghetti Mia is over to cheer her up but it doesn't seem to be working that well. Everyone is eating and finishing their dishes except for Emily. She just play with the food with her fork.

"Princess, you need something to eat. You didn't have much for lunch so just try and have some for me please?"

"I'm not that hungry. Excuse me I'm going to get ready for bed. Mia I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight boys and Jeremy I'll see you upstairs."

She gave the boys a wave, Emily gave me  a hug and a peck on the lips before making her way upstairs. We sat there in an awkward silent before Mia break the silent.

"Well it's getting late I should properly start to head home. See you guys tomorrow"

"Do you want me to drop you home?" James said. He is sooo into her they have been flirting to each other for days.

"Nah it's ok see you tomorrow"

After she left I just brought all the dishes to the sink and went upstairs to my room.

"I'm going to head upstairs to see how emily is going, you guys are alright with cleaning everything up?"

"Yeah man, just go up and make sure she is good"

I went to my room and about to open my door when I heard sobs from inside my room.  I instantly open it up to see her with her head in her knee. Seeing her like this brake me to pieces. As I made my way to her a piece of paper caught my eye I instantly pick it up and it read.

'This time I will not making the same mistake of spearing your life. And will kill you-D "

I went infront of her and lift her head up by her chin.

"I will NOT aloud this to happen ok. Now you need some rest" I said saying the word not a little louder but not too much to scare her. I lift her up bridal style and tuck her into the bed as I left and get change for bed. I went under the covers and wrapped my arm around her waist tightly as she snuggle into my chest.

"It hurt me seeing you like this and I will do everything I can to make you happy again. I love you" I said as I meant ever word. I love her? I guess I do I just never thought I would have the guts to say it. It just kind of slip out of my mouth.

"I love you too!" She whisper as she look up and we got into a short but our love for each other can be felt right through it. Then sleep overtake us.
