Possessive meets Fierce

Chapter 16: Learning More

-Eva's POV

We get to the library doors and I gently push the door open. I feel Asher standing behind me. I hear the turning of a page and walk in. I sit down next to Leila while Asher begins walking around the room.

"Hey sis, did you find anything interesting?" I turn towards Leila who then puts her legs over my lap.

"Great Expectations by Charles Dickens." She says closing the book and placing it on her lap. I chuckle. Who reads something like this at her age?

"That's an interesting choice." Asher comes and sits in a chair beside us. I can feel him looking at Leila and me.

"So where is everybody?" Leila says looking towards Asher.

"My friends fell asleep with your sister in the theater."

"Figures, Cara can't stay awake for any movie we watch." Leila states back. "I'm sorry what is your name?" I smirk at my sister's cheekiness.

"Asher Moore" He says reaching out to grab Leila's hand.

"Leila Willow," She says shaking his hand. "Hey sis, is this your boyfriend?" I abruptly spin my head towards her and glare at her. I can hear Asher trying to stiffen a laugh.

"No, he is not my boyfriend..." I answer "He is just a friend that I met a few days ago." I can hear Asher talk under his breath but don't really catch what he said.

"The way he is looking at you says otherwise." She says nonchalantly.

I can't help but laugh at her. "Well I wouldn't know how he looks at me."

"He is given you the look that dad used to give mom." That stopped me dead in my tracks from continuing my laughing fest. Mom & Dad... I feel Leila reach for my hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"It's okay Leila, don't apologize." I squeeze her hand and give her a forced smile. "I'll be back in just a minute."

I get up and start walking towards the door. I can feel Asher stand up to. I turn back towards him and gently shake my head letting him know that I need to be alone for a second. I walk out the door and close it. I walk to one of the bathrooms and go inside slumping down on the door for a minute. I take deep breaths trying to control the tears from streaming down my cheeks. How I miss you guys.

I pull out my phone. "Hey can you come get me?"

-Asher's POV

I was about to get up and follow Eva out but I see her gently shake her head at me. I know she wants to be alone so I sit back down and just stare at the door she just closed. I turn back and see Leila already looking at me.

"My sister has went through things that no one should ever have to go through. I hope you are patient with her." She says still looking at me. I nod my head at her.

"You sound to wise for your age."

"Eva trust you otherwise you wouldn't be sitting with me right now." She says gesturing towards me.

"Do you mean close to you or close to her?" I ask leaning forward onto my knees.

"Both." She says standing up walking towards a bookshelf. "She maybe blind but she would be willing to kill anyone who hurts me or Cara. May want to mention that to your friend that seems to be all over Cara." She says putting her book back on the shelf.

I can't help but smile at her. She is straight forward and isn't afraid to speak whats on her mind. She comes and sits back down in front of me.

"How old are you?"
