Let The Rain Fall Down - Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zander opens his eyes as he puts his hand on his throbbing forehead. He slowly sits up when he remembers what happend. He scans the room with his blurred vision
" Em...Emily?" says Zander
He looks behind him as he see's Emily laying there, out cold. He rushes to her side and checks her pulse
" Emily?! Emily...Emily wake up. Come on, Em." says Zander
Emily wakes up as she looks up at Zander
" Are you alright?" says Zander as he helps her sit up
" I think so. Are you?" says Emily looking at his head
" Yeah, it's just a cut. No big deal." says Zander
Emily puts her head in her hands trying to focus. Zander looks down at her
" Are you sure your ok?" says Zander
" Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I just need a second to process all of this." says Emily
" Obviously whoever ordered those guys to grab you was pretty desperate if they were gonna do it on a public dock like that." says Zander
" I have no idea why this is happening." says Emily
" Sure you do, Em. As always, paying for the sins of your perfect, brother." says Zander as he stands up
" You don't know that Jason has anything to do with this." says Emily
" Come on Em. We both know that Sonny and Jason have everything to do with this. I worked for Sonny while you were gone. I know how these people operate." says Zander
" I just think that if I was in danger, Jason would have warned me or something." says Emily
Zander laughs
" I wouldn't doubt it. He always comes up on top on that pedestle you've made for him." says Zander
Emily glares at Zander as she stands as well
" Why are you acting like this NOW?!? Of all times?" says Emily
" Why not now Emily? What better time than the present to talk about the problems in our relationship, if you even want to call it that." says Zander
" Why not now? Gee Zander, let's see. Look around! We're locked in a god damn room like criminals! We need to focus on how to get out of here!" says Emily as she turns around
Zander looks at Emily
" I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." says Zander
Emily turns back around and faces Zander
" I'm just, Zander I'm scared. I mean these people don't care if we live or die." says Emily as tears well up in her eyes
Zander wraps his arms around Emily as he buries his face in her hair
" Hey, I'm here ok? I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise. We're gonna get out of here." says Zander
Emily closes her eyes as she rests her head on his shoulder.
" Why is it that everytime you've ever said that I've believed you?" says Emily
Zander smiles
" Old habits die hard I guess." says Zander
Suddenly someone begins to unlock the door to the room. Still hugging, Zander and Emily quickly look at the door
" Zander..." says Emily as she clings to his arm
" It's ok. Just stay behind me." says Zander as he slowly pushes her body behind him
