Chapter 9

Emma Windsor P.O.V

I parked my car out the front of my house, slowly walking to the front door. As I reach the kitchen, I noticed a white paper on the bench. I walk over to it, my eyes widening when I see a red substance on the note. It was blood. 

Ryder will pay, 

But first, we need to cut all the things out of his life that he loves

And that is you, Emma.

As soon as my eyes read upon the last word, a window shattered, and I turn around, letting out scream. A brick was lying across on the floor, hearing a large truck driving away. My heart was pounding in my chest, as I let out a small whimper. 

Who was this? What did Ryder do to them to make my life be threatened?

Their trying to cut me out of Ryder's life, so that obviously means....

I felt like to vomit all of my insides. Were they REALLY going to kill me? I felt sick again just thinking about it. My body was shaking with terror, so I grabbed my phone, dialling Ryder's number. 

Within a blink, Ryder was at my front door step. I quickly let him in, until his concerned eyes scanned me over. 

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" He asks, worry spread all over his handsome face. I nod my head, showing him the note. His gorgeous eyes scan over it, and I couldn't help but check him out. He had a grey shirt on, and bagging trousers. His hair was all messy and wet, seeming that he just went for a run. 

He looked hot. 

Wait, how am I checking him out at a time like this? A person is threatening to kill me!

"Your staying at my place." He mutters, his jaw clenching when he notices the brick, and the broken window. I cross my eyes, staring at him with disbelief. 

"What? No." I say, clearly confused. 

"It's the only way I can keep you safe." he says, a light blush tinting on my cheeks. He stared at me with all seriousness, and I was forced to fight back. 

"What am I going to tell my mom? 'Oh, hey mom, yeah, someone wrote me a death wish and I won't tell the police so I'll just stay at Ryder's! Oh and, the window is broken.' " I say, sarcasm dripping in my voice. He runs a hand through his messy hair. 

"Your sarcasm is not helping. We'll tell her that were back together, and your staying at my place for awhile. I'll get the fucking window fixed anyways." I stare at him for a couple of minutes, neither of us saying a word. Why did I agree to this?

"She won't believe it, but it's worth a shot. But don't pull any moves, Mr BadBoy." I warn, and he hold his hands up in defence, smiling. I looked at him in awe, he was so cute. How was I going to manage living in his house? I sigh in annoyance.

I quickly grab everything I need, and text my mom. As we leave my house, I stare at Ryder's motorcycle. My mom always wanted me to get back with Ryder so maybe everything will be okay. 

"There's no way I'm getting on that," I say, and he smirks, chucking me a helmet. 

"Chill, babe. At least you have a helmet." He smirks. I sigh in annoyance, getting on. I hesitantly put my arms around his waist. I haven't been this close to him in awhile.

What an adventure that awaits.
