Overprotective

Chapter 26

"Emma are you okay?" The voice asked stepping out into the light. It was Brody. Seeing him made me burst out in tears and before I knew it, I was on the ground sobbing while Brody held me. The man was laying on the ground unconscious and it made me happy that he couldn't do anything to me.

"Brody did you find her?" Mason asked stepping into the room. "What happened?" He rushed over to my side and pulled me away from Brody.

"A man tried to.....you know." Brody answered. It took a minute but Mason's eyes filled with realization and they turned dark.

"Who the hell did that?" He growled. Brody pointed to the guy on the floor. Mason took a deep breathe and stood up with me still hanging onto him like a koala bear. He started walking into the kitchen where all of my brothers were waiting.

"What the hell happened?" Ethan questioned when he finally saw us.

"We'll talk about it later. Right now we need to go home." Brody said already starting to walk out the door. Mason followed with me still in his arms and everyone else followed. I was still having trouble calming myself down. I always read about that type of stuff happening to people, but I never thought that it would ever happen to me.

As Mason sat me down he tried to get me to let go of him, but I held on tighter. He finally gave up and sat me on his lap putting the seatbelt on.

During the ride home nobody said anything. Ethan kept looking at me through the mirror and he had this look on his face that meant that he was mad, but he didn't want to scare me by yelling.

When we got home Mason stood up and walked inside before setting me in the couch. Instead of sitting with me he pried my arms away from him and sat next to me instead.

"Anyone care to explain what happened?" Ethan questioned pacing back and forth in front of us.

"I would tell you, but I don't know the full story so I'll let Emma tell you herself." Brody answered smirking at me. All of the eyes turned to look at me and I gulped.

"Emma what happened?" Jason questioned.

"I won't tell you!" I blurted out. I didn't want to tell them and have them be mad at me.

"Someone tried to r-a-p-e her." Mason whispered.

"What?!" Ethan yelled. His face turned beet red. Jason and Blake were just looking at the ground like they didn't know how to react. "Emma is that true?" I nodded and he sighed before storming out of the house. Everybody else just stared at me.

"Who was it?" Blake asked quietly.

"I don't know." Brody and Mason answered. Before anybody could react Emily started crying and she ran up the stairs. Jason got up to go to her, but I stopped him and went up instead.

As soon as I was outside her door I could hear her sobbing. Thankfully she forgot to lock the door and I opened it to see her sitting in the floor with her head in her hands. I rushed over to her and knelt by her. She slowly leaned into my arms and began to calm down.

"I can't believe that happened to you." She mumbled.

"I know, but he didn't get very far." I commented hoping that it would make her feel a little bit better but she started crying even harder.

"It's scary how close it was to happening." I nodded. We sat there like that for a while, before Jason walked into the room.

"It's bed time girls." I nodded and got up before walking into Brody and I's room. Brody was already in the bed so I went into the bathroom and got ready before getting into the bed.

"Thank you." I said. I wasn't looking at him, but I felt him move closer to me. A cold hand touched my shoulder and rolled me over so that I was looking straight into his eyes.

"Emma I will always be there for you when you need me." He said before kissing me. I kissed back when all of a sudden the door blew open and there stood Ethan enraged.
