Loving You (Sequel: Friends To Lovers) (GXG)

Danger

He took a few steps closer to Emily as she stood still in her tracks, thinking on what the best course of action would be. He snarled at her, showing off his crooked smile and yellow stained teeth. Emily backed away slowly until her back pressed firmly against the kitchen wall behind her. Mr. Colin burst into laughter, pulling out a camera from his back pocket.

"You're even more photogenic than Taylor is... It's such a shame that I have to do such a horrible thing to you, but you cannot blame me. After all it is your fault for being involved with her in such a vulgar way!" He shouted. He started to take photographs of Emily as her face dropped to the floor, looking for a way around him.

I just have to distract him... He thinks that Taylor and I are together, correct? Well then I'll make quite the show about it...

Emily erupted into laughter, falling to the floor as she grabbed onto her stomach as if she was dying of laughter.

"You say that our love is 'vulgar,' huh? Do you want me to go into the details?  I'm sure you would think that it's much worse than what you know right now. What I will tell you though is that she is excellent in the bedroom..." Emily snickered, continuing to look around for a way out. Her eyes locked onto Rocky who had her phone out and was standing behind Mr. Colin, videotaping everything that had been going on.

"Filthy girl! You will be condemned to hell for those immoral acts! I guess you didn't learn your lesson from back then... Do I need to give you another one?" He laughed, flashing his camera again and again as he began to come closer to Emily again. Rocky took this chance to run behind Mr. Colin and knock into him, causing his legs to give out and leaving him on the floor.

"Hurry!" Rocky yelled, pulling Emily out of the room to get out of the orphanage. The two ran as fast as they could out of the kitchen and then out of the orphanage to go into the neighboring yard. They hid behind a few bushing, waiting for Mr. Colin to pass them. Soon enough, he did. Mr. Colin shot out of the door and down the road to scan the area for both Emily and Rocky. He quickly gave up and hopped back into his car to drive off in the direction of the school. When they were safe, Rocky turned to Emily and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you ok? That guy was really pissing me off! I was tempted to knock his in the place that counts, but the quicker he left the better." Emily nodded in agreement, keeping her mouth shut to prevent her emotions from taking her over.

That was... frightening... Too frightening... I can still hear the sound of the camera going off and his crazed laughing...

Rocky stopped speaking and pressed a hand against Emily's shoulder. Emily threw her arms up in defense before realizing that it was just Rocky.

"I'm... sorry... I'm still on edge I guess..." She insisted, trying to hide how scared she actually was. Rocky opened her mouth to say something, but instead just shut it and stood up to walk back inside the orphanage.

"You're fine... Let's go back inside... I'm sure our friends are worried about you..." Rocky tried to sound happy, but instead came off as worried and terrified about what had just happened. Emily stood up and followed behind Rocky while glancing back to the street every few seconds, waiting for Mr. Colin to come out of nowhere and do more unthinkable things.

The two stepped into the front door and were immediately rushed by their friends. Anne jumped forward at Emily, causing them both to fall to the ground with a loud crash. Anne cried into Emily's chest while Alix, Jane, and Taylor crowded both Rocky and Emily.

"They wouldn't let me come to help you! Rocky told me that she would go and help you instead because she didn't want me to go out and potentially distract you! I would've come if I could! I wanted to help! I knew you were absolutely terrified by the whole thing! I don't deserve you... I'm such a pathetic piece of—"

"Don't start to blame yourself," Emily sighed, "I'm glad that Rocky and them kept you from going. I don't want you to get hurt from a stupid stunt of mine..." Anne lifted her head off of Emily before giving a pitiful smile and placing her forehead against Emily's to gaze into her eyes.

"Not long ago you said that you were weak and not as confident as I am, right? Emily, to me you are so much more than that! You are our hero, you know that? You're my hero. I love you so very much, so next time you do something dangerous or if I do something then we will do it together. That's probably really idiotic of me to say, but if either of us are going to do anything dangerous then I want us to be together while we do it..." Anne admitted, shrugging slightly with a low chuckle. Emily grinned back at her and pecked her on the lips to surprise her.

"Alright. That sounds better than acting alone... I was worried that if he actually caught me that he would go for you guys next... I'm just happy that Rocky was there to save me, so thank you!"Emily exclaimed, turning to Rocky to five her a bright smile. Rocky smirked and gave a slight shrug before turning to Alix who in turn hugged her. Emily them looked over to Taylor who's face was bright red with tears dripping down her face. She dropped to her knees and scooted towards Emily before wrapping her arms around her.

"Thank you...! I can only imagine how scared you were... I'm sorry for putting you through that! I'm so so sorry!" Taylor cried out. Both Emily and Jane patted Taylor on her back and the group got together to give her a quick hug.

"It's not your fault, Taylor. We will bring your corrupted dad to his knees soon enough! We got proof after all... Plus, he took some disturbing pictures on Emily which really irritated me..." Rocky grunted, pulling out her phone to show the few photos and videos that she took of the altercation from earlier. Taylor snatched Rocky's phone, bringing it closer to her face before and slammed her fist to the floor.

"That man deserves to die! He's not even human even more!" Taylor screamed. Jane pulled Taylor back towards her to hold her close to her chest. She rocked back and forth, shushing Taylor to calm her down.

"Why don't you four go sit in my room? Lock the front door in case Mr. Colin comes back first though. I have to go give Ms. Riley the news." Emily said, standing up with Anne's hand in hers. The group nodded, heading their separate ways.

Emily and Anne rushed outside and knocked on the shed door and was quickly returned with a quiet voice.

"Hello? Emily, is that you?" It called out. Anne opened up the door and was met with a few kids who immediately began to cry out. Anne rubbed their heads and tried to calm them down, but once they realized the person they were hugging wasn't Emily they gathered around her instead. Ms. Riley stumbled out of the shed with a concerned look.

"Is it safe?" She asked. Emily smiled and giggled slightly, glancing to Anne for a quick moment.

"I believe we are for now." She replied, bringing the kids closer to her so she can hug each and every one of them...
