Fated

Chapter 3

After they brought all of Emma stuff from her car in and put it in her old room, she started to make dinner. As she got out everything she needed she made the boys sit at the table in the kitchen with her so that they could do their home work.

She started to put everything in the bowl when her cell phone rang from where it was sitting at the table next to her brother. Logan picked it up and saw the call was from Pete. "Answer it please Logan my hands are dirty."

Logan flipped the phone open. "Hello? No she is busy right now Pete. I can have her call you back when she is done making dinner. Ok I will bye." Logan closed the phone and went back to doing his homework. He sat there for a second then looked back up at his sister and saw that she had stopped making dinner and was just standing there. "Em what's wrong?" When she didn't answer he got up and walked over to her and saw she was crying. "Emma what's wrong?" he said as he turned her to him and wiped away her tears. Logan could never remember seeing his sister cry not even one tear when their father had died.

"I'm ok it's just the onion." She said trying to turn back to finish mixing the food.

"I don't think so you don't even have any onion out. Emma did you and Pete brake up?" Logan wiped more tears from Emma's cheeks.

"Yes, I went to his house one day only to find him in bed with Taylor. I knew she was in town but I didn't think she knew Pete. She just laid there in the bed with a smile on her face like it was a payback. Then Pete saw me and tried to apologize but I couldn't listen I just walked through his apartment collecting my stuff that I left there said that it was over and left. He's been trying to talk to me for a month and a half. I don't know what I ever did to Taylor to make her hate me so much. I won't answer his calls or his texts. I'm better off without him Logan I promise. Now I need to finish making this and get it in the oven." She turned back to making the meatloaf and Logan went and sat back down.

When he sat down her phone rang again it was Pete. "Logan if it's him don't answer it." She said over her shoulder.

Logan picked up the phone and answered it even though she said not to. "Hey Pete." He listened for a second to Pete telling him to tell his sister he was sorry and that he wanted her back and promised not to do it again. "I have one thing to say to you; if you call my sisters phone again or try to talk to her again I will personally kick your ass into next Thursday. It was nice talking to you." And he hung up the phone.

"Logan that was unnecessary. Thank you though." Emma looked back at her brother and smiled at him. He was about to say something when the house phone rang. He looked at the caller id and saw that it was Evan's brother. He tossed him the phone to answer it.

Evan answered the phone and listened to his brother then he looked at Logan and smiled. "Hold on a sec Jay and I'll ask. Logan my brother has a stake out tonight and was wondering if it wasn't too much for me to stay here tonight he says he's really sorry but it just came up and chief won't let him out of it?" Both boys looked at Emma with pleading eyes.

"Well Em can he?" Logan asked his sister looking at her with the puppy dog face he always used when he wanted something.

"WellI guess so. Can I talk to your brother for a sec Evan?" she said while washingand drying her hands she reached for the phone. "Hello this is Logan's sisterEmma, I don't see a problem with Evan staying the night since it's a weekenddoes he need a ride home tomorrow?" she waited while he answered. "I see ok,see you when you come pick him up tomorrow then, goodbye." Emma hung up thephone and went back to making dinner.
