~ "Emily, the second I saw you, the first thing that came to my mind was 'wow'. You're beautiful Emily and I promise I'll keep you safe wherever you go. I'll be your knight in shining armour. Emily Parker, will you go out with me?" He said it so sincerely, I almost believed him. But of course, me being me, I kicked him where the Sun doesn't shine. ~
Emily Parker has been abused by her rich father, Jonathan Parker, since the age of 12. Ever since her mum died from Rectum Cancer, the loving father that she thought she had, disappeared and in his place, was a cruel, merciless man.
After moving to a new school in Chicago, she's bullied and unwanted. She doesn't have any friends or companions. She's a nerd that likes to keep her head down and study. The sooner she gets that done, the sooner she can escape.
She hides her embarrassing secret of what happens at home quite well. What she didn't know was that the Richards' brothers could see beneath her thick mask. They could see that her smile didn't quite reach her eyes, she was suffering from something and they made it their mission to find out what.
What they DIDN'T KNOW was that Emily has a hard time trusting people and she is one tough cookie! Her story won't be revealed THAT easily. Oh no no no. Read on to find out the trouble she puts the Richards' through...

"So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit.
His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that"
"What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears.
"Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek.
I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place.
"I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again.
Why?
There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add.
Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
