Tangled Love
CHAPTER 53
"Emily, the police are here."
Police? Why? What have I done?
I wake from my hazy sleep and roll over, finding myself falling through the air. I let out a small yelp and land hard onto the cold floor with a thud.
"Urgh, that hurt." I groan, turning to look up at an amused Jake who was chuckling quietly, stood in my doorway.
"Get up Muffin, they want to speak to you," he says, running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah, we are going to take care of it. The police can't provide you with much safety Muffin, they're useless. Tell them why you moved here, say you don't want to press charges against Trevor and that you refuse to go back. That should do it."
He holds out a hand and I gratefully take it, groaning as Jake helps me to my feet.
"You'll be fine" he whispers, before kissing the top of my head. I nod against his chest, feeling panic and worry settle inside me. I run a hand through my hair in an attempt to make myself look more presentable.
