Can You See Me?

Big Baby

Dustin launched in front of me to shield me from any threat. Christian walked towards the door.

  “Chris no.” I whisper yelled.

  “You'll be ok. I promise.” I squeeze dustin's hand hard as Tyler pulls out a gun. Chris slings the doors open and there is nobody in sight. The boys relax but i let a piercing scream release from my throat. On the floor was a remains of a black cat with its head chopped off with an envelope in its paws. I walked away from Dustin and grab the envelope.

  You can't hide her forever Chris. She's ours now and you can't stop us this time. You should also check on her parents every once and awhile.

   I rush to the counter and grab my phone and dialed my mom's number. I panicked more and more as the phone ringed in my ear.

  “Hello?” my mom's voice echoed through the receiver

  “Mom?! Are you ok?! Where's Dad?! Are yall alright?!” I cried.

  “Honey we are fine. Calm down please. What's going on?” I looked at Christian for comfort but he was reading the letter.

  “Mom this is going to sound crazy but I need you and dad to leave the country. Don't come back or answer any calls until I come and get you. Send me a letter with the place you're staying and i'll come as soon as is this is over. If anything happens I love guys so much.”

  “Emily what are you talking about?! We aren't leaving you!”

  “Mommy please just do it for me. Its my death wish. Please just leave.” I hung up the phone before she could respond. I placed my phone on the counter and fell to the floor on my knees.

   “Emi!?” Dustin ran towards me and brushed my hair out of my face. His face morphed into concern as he felt my head.

  “You're burning up and sweating.” thomas just threatened to kill my parents. My effing parents. I'm going to kill that son of a bitch with my own two hands if he ever lays a hand on my family. A cold object cooled my body as it was placed on my head.

  “Breathe E, nice and slow.” Tyler was on his knees as well but with my head in his lap. Christian was clenching and unclenching his fist. Dustin grabbed a bag and gloves and began to pick up the cat.

  “I want to kill him.” i muttered.

  “Believe me, we all do. But you need to get better before we even hatch a plan to catch him.” I sighed in agreement and gently pushed the ice pack off of me. Dustin shut the door and washed his hands in the sink.

  “Dustin order pizza, Tyler get Emily's hospital bag ready for tomorrow and Emily come with me now.” Christian barked as authority dripped from his full lips. I slowly followed him up the stairs and into a small office on the left side of the hall. He walked in and motioned me to shut the door. I did as told and took a deep breath before i turned around again.

  “Are you ok?” i nod not trusting my voice.

  “It's all my fault i should've just killed right then and there when i had the gun but instead I…”

   “Pointed it at my head.” i finished for him. Guilt crowded his face and turned away from me.

   "I never meant for it to be like this. I never meant to get you involved with my ways" he said before plopping down on the chair that sat behind the desk.

  "It's all right Christian. I know you would never hurt me or put me in danger on purpose. You did what you thought was right." i took a small step forward, afraid to anger him.
