Chapter 4 - A Promise?

Jessica's POV

It's been a week since I have been hurt and they took me in. They gave me clothes and my parents haven't come looking for me so I guess they don't care much about me anymore. Emmett and I still go to school and I do fighting still, but I sneak out with Emmett a lot and we go places. He took me places I have never been and I have slowly grown closer and closer to him and I enjoy his company and I love sleeping next to him. He makes me feel loved and I haven't felt that since dad died. I've bonded well with his parents Rose and Ethan and his aunt Lacy, Lacy's husband is nice and very well mannered. Everyone is treating me nicely, but they are also treating me like I'm a broken doll. It's fine though I've enjoyed their company and Lacy is like a mom to me, but so is Rose. Emmett and I don't walk around school together I wish we did though. It's strange to wish for something like this.

Rose gave me a room in her house and I love the colors. I figured I should give Emmett space to be a guy, plus they've done a lot for me and I am so grateful. I'm still scared though with everything that's been happening I mean nobody has come looking for me and it's strange I would think they would be searching to find me and drag me back to that stupid house. There is a knock at my bedroom door "Come in" I yell and Rose walks in with a plate of food. "Hi dear, I thought you might be hungry." She says with a smile and I smile back. "Thank you. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused." I say trying not to cry. "Oh honey, It's alright we love having you here." She says and reaches for my hand she squeezes it gently and I smile at her. "Umm if you don't mind is it okay if I play music and do some dancing?" I whisper trying not to be a burden. She nods and walks off. I turn on the Bluetooth speaker the song that plays is 7 rings by Ariana. I start off easy and then get into it. After the song finishes I hear clapping from behind me I see Lacy, Rose, Daniel, Ethan, and Emmett I stare at them and I turn red. "How much did everyone see of that?" I say in a low voice shy, Emmett has shocked all over his face and it's embarrassing. "We saw it all, Wow you can really dance!" Ethan says and I look down at the floor. "It's my escape in a way. I don't just do fighting I do dancing." I whisper lowly.

"Wow, you should join Emmett's gang, they have dance-offs and you would kill it," Daniel says and I look to Emmett waiting for an answer if I have permission to do so. "Umm if you don't mind Emmett?" I say and he still has his shocked face on. Rose elbows him and he stutters "U-uh yeah, I mean sure yeah that's cool." He says trying to act like he wasn't shocked. "Oh um one more thing, I'd like to teach the choreography. If that's okay." I say trying not to ask too much of him and he nods walking out of my room and I scream with joy. I decided to not eat anything I know Rose brought me food, but I'm not hungry.

11 p.m.

Emmett walks into my room and I'm listening to my music and watching Instagram videos. I stop what I'm doing. "Hey, what's up?" I ask looking at him as he walks and sits at the edge of my bed. "Jessica, I promise I will keep you safe, but if you join my gang and do all of our dance-offs...What if you get hurt?" He says with such worry in his voice and I gently rub his back and lay my head onto his shoulder. "I know you're worried about me, but we did have a fight and I remember that I beat your ass in that match," I say with a giggle and he looks at me shocked. "Oh shit, you didn't know...." I cover my mouth and back away from him. "It was you who fought me back then..." He says with such shock in his voice and I panic. "No! That was someone else!" I scream and run to the balcony. "I'm sorry... You weren't supposed to know I'm strike." I say quietly while he stands in front of me. "You kicked my ass in a fight..." He whispers and gasps which makes me jump. "What?!" I squeal from his gasp. "I WAS BEAT BY A GIRL!" He screams and I look at him with my really expression. At least he knows I can protect myself.
