Chapter 40

{Sadie's POV} "What is HE doing here?!" I hiss through clenched teeth. Lucas just stands there in his white polo and powder blue sweater vest accompanied by a matching bow tie. He has a mischievous smile on his face, probably thinking something sexist and dirty. "What? You didn't wear those short shorts for me sweetheart?" I spring forward fist clenched when Andrew's strong arms hold me back. "Let go!" I scream. I give up when Andrew doesn't budge. "Sadie, he's just an employee." Lizzie speaks up. "You have got to be kidding me! You don't understand what he did to me!!!" "What this?" He slams me against the wall and forces another kiss, this time lifting up my shirt a little. I struggle but let Em take over.   She grabs his collar and throws him off of me. Then, he lands on the floor. I step on his shoulders to make sure he can't get up. Em kneels on top of him and slips a knife from somewhere. She raises it up to his neck the blade ready to slit his throat. "Next time you pull that one on my best friend or me you're dead! Do you understand me Lucas Brown?!" "Uh huh! Please don't hurt me!" He whimpers but, Em shows no mercy. "Why? Because you didn't hurt us?" She lifts the knife off of his throat and grazes his temple. Not a fatal wound but, wide enough to need stitches and to cause pain. Matt pulls Em off of Lucas and grabs his feet. Andrew comes up behind me and grabs his shoulders next to my feet that now have Lucas's blood on them. "Ok Sadie that's enough." I step off of his shoulders and look at Lizzie. "Now why are you here?" I ask in a somewhat rude voice. "To see this." She gestures to the floor. "So this was a setup?!" Em asks. "Ummm yeah, you can say that. I wanted to see your teamwork." I look over at the guys who have Lucas pinned against the wall with his wrists above his shoulder blades. Lizzie pulls out handcuffs and hands them to Matt. He cuffs Lucas but, Andrew doesn't let go. "I'll take him boys. That was phenomenal teamwork you four demonstrated. Have a nice evening. The rest if the night is yours I promise." With that Lizzieleaves the room. "That was a sick setup." Em says. I just sit on the floor hugging my knees to my chest. My head is buried in my knees and I am rocking back and forth. Em sits next to me on the floor. "Sadie, its ok it's over." "This was the second time tonight." My voice quivers. "I can't do this." "What's that Sadie?" "Kill people." I look down at my foot that has sticky blood on it. "Sadie, he's not gonna die." "I know but-but they are using us!" I exclaim. "She's right." Matt joins us on the floor. "Training starts tomorrow at ten- Lizzie" Matt read the sticky note out loud. "I guess that means we should all get some sleep." Andrew says. We all silently agree. Em hugs me and so does Matt and they walk out the door. "Tomorrow should be fun.” Andrew said sarcastically. "Totally." I return the sarcasm and Andrew cleans off my foot and I crawl under the covers. Andrew lies down on the couch. "Andrew, what are you doing come here!" I said taping the empty side of the bed. "Are you sure? After tonight?" I smile. "Of course Andrew! You need to protect me! After all we are engaged." I wink and he hops in bed and he wraps he muscular arms around his body. We both find sleep easily and slip out of consciousness within ten minutes.

Chapter 41

{Matt's POV} I wake early to the light coming in through the drapes. Em is curled up with her head on my chest. I kiss the top of her head and take in her scent. She rolls around. "I'm sorry for waking you honey." "Huh?" She nuzzles into my shoulder. "I don't wanna get up!" She says into my shoulder. Her eyes meet mine. They practically sparkle. "I know." I look at her sympathetically. "I think I'm gonna go check on Sadie. Wanna come?" She mumbles nonsense. I can understand why she's wiped out. "Be back soon!" I kiss her cheek and quietly slip out of the room in my white t-shirt and sweats. I reach the end of the hallway and knock on the door. {Andrew's POV} I cuddle with Sadie. She is sound asleep. Sadie hasn't gotten enough sleep the past few days so I let her sleep. I hear a knock at the door and Sadie jumps. "It's ok." I whisper. "Hey it's Matt." I hear him call. "I have to get it." Sadie frowns and rolls over. I get up and run over to the door. I open it. "Shhh!" I whisper. Matt motions for me to step into the hallway. "Hey man." It has only been a day and it feels like I've know Matt my whole life and we're best friends. "How's Sadie?" He asks with deep concern. "Emotionally damaged, but she'll be ok." "Good, Andrew she can't get hurt. We all need to protect her she's important!" "I know.... I promised to protect her no matter what. How's Em doing?" "Tired." "Same with Sadie." I agree. Then, we hear an ear splitting scream from inside our room. Matt and I burst in and see Sadie shaking and crying. I sit down on the bed and put Sadie's head in my lap and stroke her hair. Matt sits beside us on the bed. "Shhh its ok, everything's going to be ok. I promise nothing will happen to you."
