Confronting Them

Emily and Jayden were walking down a street.

"Do you love me?" Emily asked.

Jayden laughed.

"I don't love you, not anymore," he said.

"Why?" Emily asked.

"You're tainted! You're not pure," he explained.

"I-I thought that didn't change anything?" She asked, afraid.

"That's for show, but now, everyone thinks the same," Jayden told her.

The rest of the team appeared out of nowhere.

"We don't want you in our team anymore," Antonio added.

"Wh-what?" Emily asked in shock.

"We could find someone else to take your place. We'd rather have someone else," Mia told her.

Emily ran away. She was running across the street when a car went directly at her. Her father was the driver. The light was bright.

Emily sat up and gasped for air. She looked around and saw it was night. She got up and left the room, but when she opened the door, a bell went off.

Emily was confused, but walked away.

"Where are you going?" She heard someone behind her ask.

Emily stopped walking, but didn't turn.

"You-you don't want me here. No one does. No one needs me," she said.

"What?" Jayden asked in shock.

"He's right. Who would want me? I'm ruined, useless, a waste of space," she muttered.

"Who told you that?" Jayden asked, wanting an answer.

Emily didn't give him one. She just stayed quiet.

"Damn it, Emily! Don't close up again," he shouted.

Emily just stared at him, afraid.

"Who hit you?" He asked as calmly as he could.

No answer.

He got angry.

"I told you I'd always love you. I told you I'd never leave you. Why won't you believe it?"

"Let's go then. Let's see how much you love me."

"What?"

"He's the only person I've been with. It was forced. You can help me forget."

Jayden's eyes widen.

"No, Emily we can't."

"Why? Tell me why?"

"We're young. What if something happens? We have a duty. Yu don't want this, you're going to regret it later."

Emily got angry.

"Fuck you! Just leave me alone!"

"Emily, please try to understand."

"I do, you don't want me. Thank you for making it clear."

"Emily, stop!" He screamed.

Emily froze. She was scared.

"Your father told you. He hit you, didn't he?"

Emily nodded.

"Emily, he lied. Whatever he said, it wasn't true. What happened to the Emily I knew?" He asked, sadly.

"She died. The moment he was back, she was gone," she answered.

"No, Emily. She's in you somewhere. You just have to get threw this. We'll help. Whatever you need, we are here. Antonio is right, we are a family, and we don't leave each other," he told her.

Emily had tears in her eyes, and whipped them. She hugged Jayden.

"I love you. I don't deserve you, but I'm lucky to have you," she said, hugging him tighter.

"Let's get you to bed, it's four in the morning," Jayden said.

Emily nodded. Jayden picked her up and took her to room. He tucked her in and stayed with her until she fell asleep. Once her breathing evened, he kissed her cheek and left the room.

He went to wake Kevin up and tell him about his conversation.

"So he hit her? On the face?" He asked in shock.

"All she told me was that he hit her. And there was a red mark on her cheek. Put them together," Jayden told him.

"What are we going to do?" Kevin asked, eager to teach the guy a lesson on touching girls.

"We are going to confront him, and have a nice talk," Jayden said, smiling a little.

"We are helping," both men heard from the door.

They turned to see Mike, Mia, and Antonio standing there.

Jayden's smile got bigger.

"No one touches my sister and gets away with it," Antonio threatened.

Mia nodded in agreement.

They all sat down and talked about what they're going to do.

Once the sun was up, and Emily was waking up, they had everything set up.

Mia was to stay with Emily, and have a girl's day out. They guys would talk to her father.

The guys went to the park and saw him at the playground, staring at the little girls playing.

"Never changes," Jayden said from behind.

Emily's father looked up at him and smiled.

"Finally decided to leave that little bitch?" He asked.

Jayden's fist clenched.

"I'll never leave Emily," he said, trying to keep his anger at bay.

"You should," he said, looking back at the little girls.

"Listen, I'm not here to have a friendly chat," Jayden snapped.

"What do you want?" The older man asked, annoyed.

"I want you to leave Emily alone or we will hurt you," Jayden threatened.

Mike, Kevin, and Antonio walked up from behind and glared at the man.

Emily's father stood up and looked at the four men in front of him.

"This could have been avoided," he said, smiling.

"How?" Mike asked, angry.

"Kick her off the team. She is weak," her father said, "she couldn't even stop me. All those 'Nos' meant nothing. She couldn't fight back, weak. You don't need her."

Jayden tackled him down and started punched his face. Kevin and Antonio pulled him back when they saw Jayden had done enough damage.

The parents around them got there kids and moved away.

"Don't say that," he sneered. "Or else these guys won't be around to stop me."

The blonde man spit blood out of his mouth and laughed.

Two cops appeared.

"What's going on?" The female cop asked.

"This young man threatened me," Emily's father said.

"He raped and molested his own daughter," Jayden said.

Emily's father's eyes widened.

"Wh-what? That n-not true!" He lied.

"I can tell where Emily gets her lying skills," Mike whispered to Antonio.

The cops took all five men the police station and started to question them.

They found out, Emily's father was wanted for rape. Emily was his first victim, and his longest one. After he was kicked out of the house, and sued, he ran away and continued on other young girls.

He got life in prison.

The male rangers were happy and ran to tell Emily and Mia.
