The Girl Behind The Books #2

chapter 14

Emma's POV

"Basically, Charlotte texted Emma telling her if she doesn't do as she says, everyone is going to find out about Levi and Theo dating," Ian explained, "so Emma agreed and Charlotte made her drink 2 bottles of vodka and drive your car, called her while she was driving and told her to come to the beach, they had a small argument and yeah Charlotte is going to leave her alone- hopefully."

Brendon nodded slowly and turned to me. "I'm so sorry baby," He said, hugging me again as I sighed. "Well I'm okay so its fine, not your fault anyway," I replied. "Well, Simon and I have to go back now, keep each other safe," Ian said as Brendon nodded. "Thanks, dude, it was nice meeting you guys," Brendon said as Ian nodded agreeing. "Bye guys," I said as they walked out the door waving.

Brendon turned around to look at me as I gave him a weak smile. "Let's go home and get some rest, I'll spend the whole day with you tomorrow too," he said as I nodded. "I love you," I said, grabbing hold of his hand. We walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs.

"Should we try to find our friends?" I asked, looking up at Brendon. "No, it'll be fine, I'll text them," He said.

We got into his car. I put on the seatbelt and leaned back against the seat and closed my eyes. Brendon started to hum quietly, instantly making me feel relaxed and more tired. I exhaled slowly and glanced at Brendon for a split second before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

..

"Hey baby, we're at your house, time to get up," Brendon whispered, shaking me a little bit. "But I'm so tired," I groaned. I turned facing away from him. I heard him sigh then pull my seatbelt off. I felt my body being lifted off the seat.

I smiled a little when I inhaled Brendon's cologne and rested my head on his chest. I was half asleep while he carried me into the house and up the stairs to my room. He put me down on the bed and helped me take my clothes off. He then got up and grabbed my shorts and tank top off my chair and came back to me. I shook my head sleepily as he looked at me confused.

I tugged on his shirt, making him smile. He pulled his shirt off and helped me put it on. "Can I go to sleep now?" I whispered, yawning. "Wait wait, one last thing before you go to sleep," He said. He quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom, after a couple of seconds he brought my toothbrush and 2 cups, one empty and the other filled with water.

"Open your mouth babe," He said as I did. He grabbed my chin gently and started brushing my teeth as I tried my best to stay awake and keep my head up. I pulled my head back. Brendon moved the empty cup to my mouth as I spit out the toothpaste mixed with my saliva.

"Here baby," He said. He tilted the cup with water against my lips so I can gurgle the water then spit it out again in the other cup. After, he quickly took the things back to the bathroom and came back in a minute.

He pulled the light covers on top of me and climbed into bed on the other side. I turned to face him with my eyes closed and snuggled into his chest as he wrapped his arm around my waist. "I love you Brendon, thank you for everything," I whispered. He kissed my forehead. "Anything for my princess, I love you," He whispered. I smile as I drifted off to sleep once again.

..

My eyes fluttered open as I suddenly felt goosebumps on my arms.

It was freezing.

"What the fuck," I muttered, rubbing my arms trying to stay warm. I got up and realized I was standing on snow. Just then, I heard someone calling my name.

"Emma." I turned around trying to figure out where it was coming from. I heard it once more a little louder. And once again.

Just then, I tripped over something, falling onto the cold snow. I shivered, turning around to see what I tripped on. My heart dropped.
