“Boss?” Drake called, his voice unusually shaky.

I disengage from Emma, who was lying on my chest while we watched a movie. It had taken a lot

to finally get her to forgive me. I didn’t mean to hurt her more than I already have. I wanted things

to go back to how they were when we were younger.

I was still confused as fuck and I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. Kissing one sister while in

a relationship and in love with another. I can still feel the taste of Ava’s lips days after but just like

with everything about her, I push her and the kiss to the back of my mind. 1

I’ve waited so long to be with Emma. I wasn’t about to ruin my chances with her again. Whatever I

was feeling for Ava was nothing. Apart from Noah, Emma was my world, she has always been. I

wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of that again.

“What?!” I ask him in irritation, pissed off that he interrupted my date night with Emma.

Today I was supposed to spend the night at her place. None of us wanted to go out, so we decided

on a movie instead.

He hesitates for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him.

“Spit it out Drake, I don’t have all fucking night”

Emma looks at me in question, but I just shake my head at her. I stand up and move a few feet away and she goes back to watching the movie.

“An intruder broke into Ava’s house. I think it’s the same person that has been after her”

“What?” I snarl.

I don’t hear anything after that. My heart is beating wildly. Fear gripping me like a fucking vice. I start moving. Putting my shoes and coat on.

“Ro, what’s wrong?” Emma asks worriedly.

I see her mouth moving but her words don’t register or make any sense. I just had this need to leave. To go and make sure that Ava was safe. That she was okay.
