- Rushing to her

“Boss?” Drake called, his voice unusually shaky.
I disengage from Emma, who was lying on my chest while we watched a movie. It had taken a lot
to finally get her to forgive me. I didn’t mean to hurt her more than I already have. I wanted things
to go back to how they were when we were younger.
I was still confused as fuck and I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. Kissing one sister while in
a relationship and in love with another. I can still feel the taste of Ava’s lips days after but just like
with everything about her, I push her and the kiss to the back of my mind. 1
I’ve waited so long to be with Emma. I wasn’t about to ruin my chances with her again. Whatever I
was feeling for Ava was nothing. Apart from Noah, Emma was my world, she has always been. I
wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of that again.
“What?!” I ask him in irritation, pissed off that he interrupted my date night with Emma.
Today I was supposed to spend the night at her place. None of us wanted to go out, so we decided
on a movie instead.
He hesitates for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him.
“Spit it out Drake, I don’t have all fucking night”
Emma looks at me in question, but I just shake my head at her. I stand up and move a few feet away and she goes back to watching the movie.
“An intruder broke into Ava’s house. I think it’s the same person that has been after her”
“What?” I snarl.
I don’t hear anything after that. My heart is beating wildly. Fear gripping me like a fucking vice. I start moving. Putting my shoes and coat on.
“Ro, what’s wrong?” Emma asks worriedly.
I see her mouth moving but her words don’t register or make any sense. I just had this need to leave. To go and make sure that Ava was safe. That she was okay.

“I need to leave” I mumble and open her door.
I hear her calling my name but I ignore her. My mind and focus on getting to Ava as soon as possible. It’s like someone else was in control of my body.
I was on autopilot as I got down to the underground parking and get into my car. My heart breaking over and over again as I imagined the worst case scenario.
How the fuck did he get into her house? Where the hell was Drake? I was going to fire his sorry ass and beat the shit out of him if so much as Ava’s hair was harmed.
Breaking all the speed limits, I get to her house just as the cops do. I notice neighbors coming out of their homes, probably wondering why the cops were here at almost eleven o’clock at night.
I get into her house and my heart stops when I see her. She had a cut on her forehead, her lip was split and the left side of her face red, as if she had been hit.
Rage consumes me. It wasn’t that long she was in the hospital and now this. I was going to kill whoever did this to her and I was going to make it fucking painful.
I take a seat on her right and turn my eyes to Drake. My fury directed at him, the need to bury him. alive consuming. He was supposed to be watching over her. What the fuck was I paying him for if he couldn’t look after her?
“Are you okay?” the question draws my attention back to Ava.
Ethan was holding her hand tenderly. I wanted nothing more than to rip her hand from his. He
had no right holding her like she was his.
“My head hurts” she replies softly.
I know Ava, and I know she was fighting back tears. I can’t imagine what she felt when she was
attacked. All alone in her house.
She closes her eyes and leans her head back against the couch.
“Hey, keep your eyes open, talk to me…tell me what happened”
“I’m really tired and I just want to go to sleep, Rowan” her voice is small.
The vulnerability in her tone almost brings me down to my knees. I wanted nothing more than to
pull her in my arms and hold her. Which was just weird because I’ve never felt anything like this
towards Ava.

“I know but you have to wait for the paramedics. We have to make sure you’re okay”
I wanted to ran my finger down her cheek but I stop myself. The action would just confuse the
both of us further.
“Okay” she replied and opens her eyes.
Brian cuts in. “Don’t worry, they’ll be here any minute, meanwhile do you mind if I asked you a
families. Which means someone else is after her” Brian says more to himself than us.
“That’s what I can’t figure out for now” Brian answers frowning. “The fact that whoever it is, is

will go to any length to make sure the job is done”
I was about to speak when an officer interrupts us.
“Sir, we found blood on the kitchen floor” he says.
