Chereads / Scarred Angel Emmett’s story / Chapter 3 - Her secret

Chapter 3 - Her secret

Flashback...

I know what everyone is thinking...Why is she wearing such a rich beautiful outfit...Well, it's because even though I get beatings I'm a strong person.

I walk down the alley to the door and bang 2 times, Jeremy opens the door and I smile at him. "Hey, Jere!" I say and hug him, he hugs me back "Hey Jess, you ready for a fight tonight?" He says with so much excitement and I nod. You see I like to fight...who am I kidding I love it! I get dressed into my outfit, put in my contacts that change my eye color to green and walk out into the ring. My opponent looks strong, but he won't win. I know I seem cocky about it all, but nobody has beaten me yet...

"Alright let's begin the match! EG vs. Strike!" The referee yells. We get into stance and circle each other, he throws the first punch, but I move out of the way grab his arm and flip him onto the mat. They call me strike because I don't usually take too long to win a fight. EG gets up and tries to come at me, but I kick him in the abs making him fall back and I punch him in the face. "The winner is Strike!" Jarrett yells and holds my arm up. Everyone cheers and EG lays there on the mat, I hold my hand out to him and he accepts the help. "How about a drink?" I say smirking at him. "Well as long as you're paying..." he says in his cocky voice and I just smile and walk towards the bar. "2 of the most expensive drinks, Bobbie," I say and he starts making them. EG walks over with his head held high like he's a king, I chuckle at that. "Alright Miss, why buy me a drink?" He asks and I just smile. "Honey, you put up a good fight, but you know there is a little secret...Never leave yourself open." I say and I hand Bobbie the money for both drinks. "If you'll excuse me I must leave," I say and head towards the back of the place to retrieve my things. "Wait!" EG screams, but I ignore him if I don't get home before my 8 PM I'll get beaten again. Jeremy gives me my money and I run home with my bag.

End of flashback...

I wake up and feel great, but I'm not in my room. The memories of last night come flooding back to me and I sit up, nobody is in the room which gives me a chance to escape I make my way to the door and open it slowly there is a long hallway. I walk down the hallway and grab a candlestick that is on one of the tables. I walk slowly with caution a door swings open and he walks out without a shirt on and in a towel. We stare at each other for a few seconds before I bolt away from him. "MOM, LACY! SHES AWAKE AND TRYING TO ESCAPE!" He yells through the hallway I reach the stairs and the ladies from before are at the bottom, the guy in the towel is behind me and I head for the nearest door, it leads to a room with perfect bright pink colors and a light blue touch to it. I lock the door and see a balcony, I look outside and the pool is right there which is a perfect escape!

The doorknob turns and shakes and I jump a little scare before I head for the bathroom lock that door and see 2 doors...Oh god...I pick the first door which is the closet it's filled with dresses and ripped jeans, they look untouched for at least a few years...I wonder whose room this was. I hear the door bursts open. I close the closet door quietly. "Jessica we aren't going to hurt you...Just come out and we can talk about this." The male says and I scoot farther into the closet til I hit the wall. "Jessica sweetie, you called me mom earlier I won't hurt you please come out." One of the ladies say and I slide down the wall and start to cry. Someone opens the closet door and I stay where I am and just cry, the guy comes over and tries to comfort me, but I smack him away I don't want anyone to touch me anymore I'm so sick of it all. "Go away!!! Leave me alone, please! I didn't do anything wrong!" I scream and the ladies walk in with sorrow in their eyes and I know they know.....

Emmett's POV

I try to comfort Jessica but she smacked me away, mom and lacy enter the closet and they have so much pain on their faces because of the room we are in. "Jessica. It's okay." I say in a soft tone and hold open my arms for her to cry on me so she doesn't feel alone I want to embrace her so badly! She hesitates before she hugs me and buries her head into the crook of my neck, I embrace her and lift her up slowly and walk her out of the closet to my room, she holds me tight I know she doesn't want to let go. I open the door to my room and go inside "Jessica can you let go for a minute please, Angel." I whisper softly and she lets go, I grab clothes from my dresser and head for the bathroom and get changed.

I walk out after 5 minutes and she is curled up on my bed asleep, I chuckle a little and lift her up, putting her under the covers. I climb in bed next to her and she immediately cuddles me, she lays her head on my chest. She's such a little child when she sleeps it adorable. I decide to sleep for a little while with her. I let the darkness consume me...
