Here's chapter 17! Hope everyone likes it :D

Tom's POV

After spending some personal time with Emma, trying to make as little noise as possible, we lay in bed together.

'Shall we go get a drink?' I asked as I absentmindedly stroked her shoulder, she turned to face me.

'Sure.' She smiled before climbing out bed and slipping her clothes on, soon we were both ready and we walked out of the room, hand in hand, towards the bar of the hotel.

'Go get a table, I'll get the drinks.' I mumbled into her ear before kissing the top of her head. She squeezed my hand softly before leaving. After receiving our drinks, I turned away from the bar and scanned the patio area for Emma. I didn't find her at first so walked further outside.

I soon found her sitting on a table looking upset, I wondered what was wrong with her. As I walked closer the crowd separated and I realised what had upset her. There standing next to her was her arsehole ex boyfriend, Emma was looking anywhere but at him and soon she turned towards me. Her eyes lit up and she smiled gratefully, I walked over to her and handed her drink to her.

'Are you ok?' I asked her, before leaning over and kissing her sweetly not paying attention to her ex.

'Fine, now you're here.' I realised what she meant and turned to towards the man.

'Look I don't know what your problem is but could you leave Emma alone?' I warned before staring at him sternly, watching Emma swirl the ice around her glass out of the corner of my eye.

'I just want to talk to her.' He argued before bending down and pulling on Emma's arm so hard he knocked the glass out of her hand and it rolled off the table and smashed on the floor. He pulled her again forcing her to stand up, I glanced at Emma. A look of scared was covering her face and I didn't miss the tears rolling down her face. I walked over to him- whatever his name was- and gently placed myself between the two of them, making him let go of Emma.

I pushed her behind me, tucking her away in case this got violent, and held her hand behind me.

'Leave her alone, she's done nothing to you.' I remained calm, watching the man before me.

'Fine I'll leave her this time. But I'll come back.' He told me before looking over my shoulder and shouting to Emma. 'You know it as well as I do Emma, you belong with me!' I waited until he walked away before turning towards Emma and wrapping her in my arms allowing her to sob into my chest.

I stroked her hair gently, waiting until she finished crying. My eyes scanned the room and I saw Dougie talking to a girl with red and yellow hair. He looked happy as he talked to her, I told myself I'd ask him about it later. When Emma finished crying, I lead her silently up to her room before tucking her into bed and leaving to return to my room.

I fell asleep hoping that her ex wouldn't bother us anymore. After all why should he?
