Chapter Six

"She's not going with you!" Andy yelled.

"Fine but it wont be my fault when the cops search this place because you lead then here!" Jagger shouted back.

"Fuck you Jagger!" Andy snapped.

"What came all this way just to tell me that?" Jagger snapped. "Now I can see why I was so thrilled to here you went to fucking jail!"

My body shook in my best friend's arms as the two fought with one another. I hated the yelling and screaming, it always lead to me.being hurt.

"Shut up dumb fucks can't you see Emma is scared shitless!" Gale yelled as he pushed himself in between the two.

Andy looked over at me, his face twisted with anger and regret. He moved toward me but I immediately screamed shrinking away from him, he reminded me so much of our father yet in a younger body.

Andy's face twisted even more before Jagger pushed passed him slightly walking towards me. "Emma?"

My eyes were on him as he moved no kneel down in front of me, his electric blue eyes never leaving my face.

"I'm sorry for scaring you." He whispered. "I should have thought differently after you had told me about you dad. Forgive me?"

I just stared at him a moment longer, I was acting like a little kid in her mother's arms yet I was seventeen in the security of my best friend's arms.

"Emma?" Andy whispered from behind Jagger making me shrink away.

"Andy fuck off for a sec!" Jagger growled lowly glaring at my.brother before turning to me with a softened look in his face. "Emma forgive me, please?"  He stretched out his arms toward me as if to pull me to him yet I flinched slightly.

He sighed heavily.

I just watched him.

"Echo why don't you take Emma to her room to calm.down for a bit." Jagger stood before kissing my forehead. "I would never hurt you. I know its been years since we've been friends but you.have to trust me when I tell you that."

I grabbed his hand before he could leave me. "Don't let anyone hurt me." My voice was a whimper but he still heard me.

"I promise." He told me.

Echo then pulled me to my feet before leading me to my room.

Jagger's P.O.V.

I watched as my sister lead Emma away from us all. My eyes were on the two of them as they disappeared from out view and into Emma's bedroom. What was it about that girl that made me want to protect her in a way I've never wanted to protect anyone else?

"Dah fuck was that Jagger?" Andy snapped.

"It's called caring." I said softly before walking out of the room.

I grabbed my leather jacket before walking outside to smoke as I leaned against the railing of the porch. How is it that she gets me all worked up over nothing yet its everything all the same?

I sighed heavily taking in a long drag of my cigarette just as Andy came outside leaning against the porch railing next to me.

"Look I'm sorry okay but five months in jail-"

"Don't fucking say it changed you!" I snapped interrupting him blowing out smoke . "It doesn't change you till a year or so." I smirked. "I was there for two after beating the shit out of some dick for being a dick to my sister." I shook my head. "Shouldn't have gotten that long but they added time after looking at my juvenile record."

Andy was silent a moment. "I'm supposed to be your best friend man, you never told me that before."

"I shouldn't have to, its my life." I shook my head. "It's funny how you always have that one person stuck inside your head. That one person you can't wait to see, that you know is out there waiting for you." I took in another drag. "She wasn't waiting for me nordid she know I loved her when I knew her." I let out the smoke in a sigh. "Funny how I still love her after all this time."

"Who is she?" Andy asked.

"A girl that will be the death of me." I sighed. "Now if you.excuse me I'm gunna go check on your sister."

Andy nodded as I flicked the cigarette butt to the ground. I then went inside to see my sister slipping from Emma's room.

"She okay?" I asked with concern.

She nodded. "She cried herself to sleep but she's okay."

I nodded saddened by the thought of her crying over what Andy and I had scared her over. I feel so guilty!

I made my was toward her room where I opened the door slowly, she lay there curled in a ball snoring slightly. I wish I could make her pain go away.

Emma's P.O.V.

I woke up sometime later when someone gently stroked my cheek while whispering my name. I opened my eyes slowly to see that it was my brother.

"Hey." He whispered sadly.

"Hi." I whispered back.

"So I want you to go with Jagger tonight." He whispered, sounding as if he were defeated. "I think he will keep you safer then I can."

I sat up stretching slightly before saying. "What time does he leave?"

"Now." He said.
