I Think I Love You

chapter 27

Alex and Rachael were sleeping when Alex got the call, waking them both of up, startled.
"Alex, pick up the phone. Tu telephono."
Alex reached over picked up her phone from the top of drawers, shocked at who was calling her and at what time she was calling her. 1 am.
"H-hello?"
"Alex... H-help me p-please."
Emily's voice was shaky and faded. She began to cry as soon as she heard Alex's voice, to the point where she couldn't breathe.
"Emily... What's going on? Are you ok? Where are you?"
Alex sat up quickly.
"I-ill send my d-direction. J-just come n-now, bring a b-blanket and a b-box.. P-please."
Emily hung up the phone as Alex jumped put of bed, causing Rachael to wake up.
"Alex? What's going on? Where are you going? Is everything ok?"
She took a blanket and a box along with her, running around the room looking for her keys. Adrenaline rushed through her veins as she thought about Emily, she sounded hurt. All Alex could think about was the pain in her voice, the fear.
"Come with me now. Emily's in danger."
Rachael jumped out of bed and followed Alex as she finally found her keys on the dining table. Once they reached the door Alex received a message with Emily's location. She got in the car with Rachael and put the location in her map and began to drive. The drive was about 34 minutes away from where she was, and luckily there was no traffic. Once she arrived where Emily was she lowered her window, stopped the car, and finally got out, with Rachael holding the blanket.
"Emily!"
She stopped in her steps as she heard faint crying, Alex and Rachael began to run towards Emily. The crying getting louder as they got closer to her.
"Emily..."
She spotted Emily on the floor, naked, curled up into a ball, crying.
"Oh god... Emily..."
Alex fell to her knees beside her and took her phone out to use the flashlight to see what was going on. Emily was cut open, with the blood seeping from the cuts, and bruises that covered her body as well. She was shaking and continued to cry.
"Emily, what happened? Who did this?"
She didn't answer, instead she laid there, still shaking and crying, so Alex tapped her shoulder lightly, which caused her to flinch in fear.
"Please.. D-dont h-hurt me."
"No Emily never. Its me Alex, you know I would never do anything to hurt you. Let me pick you up, and I'll take you to my house. I promise I won't hurt you."
"O-ok."
Alex signalled for Rachael to come over and help put the blanket over her body.
"When I pick her up, you wrap the blanket around her. Ok?"
Rachael nodded and did as she was told. Alex made her way to the car with Emily in her arms, and Rachael opened the passenger seat so Alex could lay Emily there.
"Its gonna be ok Emily. I have you."
Alex teared up as she got a closer look at the cuts and bruises, then she looked over at Rachael.
"Rachael, get the box and pick up all her stuff please, then load it in the trunk."
Rachael glanced at Emily and walked away to get her things on the floor.
