Chapter Eight

Jagger's P.O.V.

I could still feel the touch of her lips molding with my own. I could still hear the blood curtling screams she cried when the perimedic took her away from me. I could even hear the screams now in my head over the song I was singing.

Gale called me over toward his drum set once the song was over. "Are you that worried about Emma?"

"Gale, her dad is no longer here. Emma is no longer here. I'm in love with her, dammit and she's not here. I need to protect her yet I can't." I growled softly. "Can you see why I'm going crazy now?"

How could I be in love with her even after five years on not being there for her? Everything about her was so tiny and frail to the point where I wanted to keep her safe. I have never been more protective over someone who isn't my sister yet here I am more protective over Emma than I am Echo..

Gale sighed. "Ya, I'd be the same with your sister if I were in your place. Go, I got this." And when he says I got this, he means he's gunna be playing the drums and singing while the rest of the band plays with him. Thank God I actually had guys in my band that could sing.

I gave him a thankful glance before running off stage, half the fans probably wondering where the hell I was going but right now they didn't matter. Emma mattered, she's all that mattered and nothing more.

Just as I was about to get into my car someone grabbed me from behind before turning me to face them so they could continue to bother me by screaming in my face. "Where's my daughter!?!? I know you know where she's at! What have you done with my daughter??"

The man before me was Emma's father. Did he see that it was her on stage with me or did he just pick me out of random?

"What so you mean Sir?" I asked hoping that I could actually lie when it.meant protecting this girl I loved more then anything in the word.

"My daughter?! You are the damn neighbor that came just after she fell! Where is my daughter?!"

"Oh." I said thankful he hadn't realized that Emma was on stage with me. "Sir.she and I don't know each other. I'm sorry I don't know where your daughter is at but I really must go."

I moved to get into my car but he yet again stopped me from getting in. This man was beginning to piss me off.

"Don't lie to me boy!" He screamed at me or well screamed in my face. Was he drunk? His breath smelled as if he were.

I got up in his face feeling very pissed off now, he's lucky I don't just kick his ass for hurting Emma. "My girlfriend just had a panic attack over an hour ago! She was taken to a hospital while I was forced to finish the concert! Let me leave here so I can go see her!" I then pushed passed him and into my car where I speed off toward the hospital. I needed to get to my girl! I needed to make sure she was okay.

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

Emma was sitting up in the medical bed when I walked into her room. She was talking with Echo who looked up to smile at me before Emma looked up at me blushing slightly. Does she remember that kiss even though she was having a panic attack?

Echo left the room leaving the two of us alone.

"Hey." I said softly.

"Hey." She said back.

I walked over to sit on her bed. "How ya feeling?"

She laid dowb so that she was turned to face me. "I've been better."

I smiled down at her. "You scared me." I then leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Please don't do that again."

She nodded. "So how was the concert?"

"I ran out just before the last song. The guys could tell that I was a little on edge with you here." I rubbed the back of my neck looking down at my hands. "I guess I worried over nothing, look at you. You're perfectly fine."

"I'm glad you came." She whispered.

I nodded.

An awkward silence passed over us or until I stood ready to leave. I don't know why I wanted to leave I just knew I had to.

"Jagger?" She caught my hand in her own making me look down into those bright green eyes of hers. She looked like a doe stuck in the head lights. Dammit why did she have to look so innocent!

I forced myself to say something to her instead of just standing there like an idiot. "Yeah?"

"Why did you kiss me?" I sighed heavily not wanting to hear that question. Why did I kiss her?

I shook my head before pulling my hand from hers and walked away. It was like ripping my heart out and leaving it with her.
