Because of you

Chapter 23

Emma pov

I stopped dead in my tracks as the man I thought I wouldn't see anymore, wish I didn't see anymore, stood there, two metres away. My stephfather.

"Are you okay?" Harvey asked worried.

"Can we please go somewhere else?" I said, almost crying.

I was scared of my stephfather. He was married to my mom, untill, yeah, when she died. He also had an alcohol addiction, so yeah, I don't want to see him. He never abused me, but I know he can get aggresive when he's drunk.

"Yes, sure," Harvey said.

We walked off, but it was to late, he had seen us and was now walking towards us. Harvey grabbed my hand really thight as if he felt something was wrong.

"Emma," my stephdad said.

"Hello," I said, dryly.

"Who is that guy," he said, while pointing at Harvey.

"I'm her boyfriend," Harvey said protective.

"You? Ahahaha, you're not even worth the uggliest person on this world, you're patthetic if you think she will ever love you," he mocked.

"Excuse me?" I said in shock.

"I mean, look at him," he continued.

"He has done more for me than you and I know him for maybe a month, meanwhile I know you for years, you never cared about me, you only care for yourself," I yelled.

"Now you're going to far," he said threathening.

"What are you going to do about it?" I said, I know I was challenging him and I was doing dangerous stuff, but nobody can insult Harvey.

"Emma, calm down, we will go somewhere else," Harvey said in a calm voice.

"Yeah, run away with that slut of yours," my stephdad said.

"Oh no, you didn't," Harvey said in a really calm manner, that made me scared.

"Oh yes, I did," he said mocking.

Before I could do anything else, Harvey punched him right in the face and ofcourse, my stepfdad fought back.
