Chapter 6
Emily woke up in a sweat and kept back from screaming. She hugged the blankets tight around her. She closed her eyes to get the nightmare from her mind. It's been bothering her for about a week. It was becoming scarier and too real in her mind. She blinked to keep the tears of fear from falling. She learned since she was young not to show fear. But the feeling that something bad was going to happen scared her worse. With that thought, Emily got out of bed and walked from her room, down the stairs. She went to the kitchen and poured herself some water. She sat in silence until Jason came down.
"Hey. What are you doing down here?" Jason asked and sat in a chair.
"Couldn't sleep." She answered, staring at her water.
"Yeah, me too. Are you okay?" Jason asked as he watched her stare.
"Of course." She answered. In all truth she was far from all right. The only thing she wanted to do was go to Lucky and hug him tight. She felt so safe and secure when she was around him. And that's the only thing she wants right now, to feel safe and protected.
"Are you sleeping?" Jason looked closely at her.
"Yeah, just cause I can't sleep one night doesn't mean I'm not." Emily justified.
"That's true, but your pallor and the forming of bags under your eyes are proving your lying." Jason pointed out.
How would you know if I'm lying even if I had physical changes? Emily thought bitterly. She let her thoughts go back to where Jason was convincing her to go home with him. She felt so...wanted. Then reality hit, Brenda found out she was pregnant. Emily shook her head. It was all about pity. Jason wanted to give her a better life. In a way he had, he gave her food and all the necessities. But she could do without those. She never told anyone, not even Lucky, what she really wanted. To be loved. She wanted to be loved, was that so hard to ask? She always snuck out at night when she was living with her dad and looked through the windows of other families. Hugs, kisses, conversation. It seemed like a curse, a curse that told her she could never have that. Then she was adopted, she was so excited she would finally be loved and needed. Well, that didn't happen, now did it?
"Emily?" Jason asked, trying to get her attention.
Emily walked over to the sink and put her glass in it. "I'm going to bed." Emily said finally, walking away and up to her bedroom, leaving Jason alone.
Author's Note:I have no idea when I'm gonna update this story again, because I seem to have trouble writing the next chapters, so I hope updating chapter 5 and 6 is gonna keep you satisfied until I can write chapter 7 at least. If you will hit the review button, I hope that will help my block on the story, or just do it cause I need some feedback. Well, thanks for reading and your future patience.
