1. Too Late

The Beginning.

Emma bit the end of her thumb, sitting curled up on the corner of the couch, wearing her blue jean skirt and white tank top. The blonde bangs across her forehead couldn't cover the wild, worried looking eyes of hers.

The tv was off, and all the lights in the house minus the room she sat in.

She jumped, closing her eyes when the phone rang. She opened them, narrowing them at the phone sitting on the coffee table and ringing almost tauntingly at her.

'He won't stop, and you know it..' Emma thought, and with a paranoid feeling, got up and looked around her empty, quiet, living room.

She glared back at the phone.

Snake and Spike had gone away to Grandma's, taking Baby Jack with them. She wished she told them to stay. She wished she told them that she didn't feel safe alone. She wished it wasn't too late to tell someone that he was scaring her. Stalking her..

The phone stopped, and Emma stared for a moment at it. She knew better though. He'll call again. Harass her, until she plugged the phone out- then come knocking on her door and windows.

'Call 911.' Emma thought to herself, going to pick up the phone quickly before he called back and yelped and jumped again when it went off, Rick calling her again. The 10th time tonight. She bursted into tears and looked around the house one more time before picking it up and yelling into the phone.

"Leave me alone, Rick!" she hung up, whimpering and dropped the phone, choking on a small cry before trying to just count to 10 and calm down.

It all started the day Jimmy or whomever pulled that prank on Rick, when Rick tried to force himself on her. Or maybe it started earlier than that.. . Rick tells her all the time that she started this. That she led him on.

But she didn't. All she did was stick up for him once at the Dot, and then he followed her around since. She tried to be the supportive, righteous person she was, but slowly, she began to see the person Spinner, Jimmy and Paige insisted Rick was. Abusive and scary. Mental.

The door knocked and Emma spun around, her eyes wide.

Her lights then went out and then a bang and struggle were heard, Emma's cries and pleas ignored by her attacker.

"Stop! No!"
