Mason

Part 6: Lazy Day 2

"I'm doing everything you say!" I yell "or am I not good enough to handle kicks and punches?" I yell going inside the house. I walk into my room and stay in there for a while when my Dad came in my room

"I'm sorry Emma." He says "I just really need you to be able to protect yourself." He says

"Just leave me alone." My past self says

"I have to report to work, it might be long." He said

"It always is." I say and he leaves.

I start to wonder again seeing many beautiful flowers everywhere. I walked up to Masons room seeing no one in there, I close the door and lay on the bed. I lay on my side with my hands by my cheek and closed my eyes.

/one week after her dad died/

After a week since my Dad had died I never leave my room. I went to a cafe and saw my mom cuddling up with someone, I ran back home and went into my room. I took both my hand and put them on my head and screamed, I through everything in my room and tore up anything. I fell to my knees and my mom came home and saw me in the middle of my disastrous room crying. The day after that I couldn't remember anything.

MASON'S POV

I walk into our room seeing Emma on the edge of our bed, asleep. I cover her up with covers and look at her face, her neck had slight bruising, I touched her neck with the most gentle touch. She stirred a little but stayed in the same position.

"Dad?" She whispered in her sleep

"You love her, don't you?" Dave said

"I don't love her, she just reminds me of Grace." I say

"Then why'd you do this to her?" Dave asked getting close

"Don't question me." I threatened

"Is that what you said to her before or after shoving her into the wall and had your hands at her neck, or should I say life at the tip of your finger. And after that you went to that bar and fucked another chick!?" He yelled making Emma stir in her sleep again "you know that's the same exact thing you did to Grace too, and you remember what she did?" He asked

"Stop Dave!" I yell

"She hurt herself and ran to me." He said "how long do you think it will be when she turns to me and stays with me unlike Grace?"

•Flashback•

After me and Grace got back from a killing I did she kept asking me what I had done. I threw her against a wall with my hands grasping her fragile neck, I left and went to the bar and had sex with a chick. I came back and she just new what I had done, I left and went downstairs and slept. In the morning I found her, shallow breathing in the tub with slightly slit wrists. We took her to the doc and she got attached to Dave because he was there for her, but she gave up on him and went to me.

•End of Flashback•

"Mason?" Dave said "you can't forget her. Come on man, she's right in front of you." He said pointing at Emma "you're doing everything you did to Grace."

"Shut up." I whispered

"And once you make her slip away, she'll come running to me." He chuckles. I attack him and we start to fight

"What the hell!" I hear Emma scream "go outside and do that!" She yelled. When we both stared at her she just got up and left

"Emma, wait." I say but she still leaves "she isn't Grace!" I yell "Grace was more special." I say

"Are you sure it's not Emma who's more special?" He grins, I punched him and started to go after Emma.

EMMA'S POV

I hear people arguing and a punch. I see Dave and Mason hitting at each other

"What the hell!" I yell "go outside and do that!" I yelled but all they did was stare at me, Masons eyes showed sorrow and Daves eyes show lust. I sigh and get up leaving the room

"Emma!" I hear Mason call after me but I kept walking down the stairs, I open the door to the back but it shuts and Masons heavy breathing is behind my neck "you have to listen to me Emma." He says with his hand still on the door

"I'm good." I say

"No." He says "we need to talk." He said

"You're just going to say sorry and do it again." I say, he let's go of the door and I walk out. He follows and grabs my arm setting me down on a bench outside "there's more to what happened the day your dad died." He said "I know that you know I killed him."

"I know what happened." I said

"No, you don't." He sighs "my dad kidnapped Grace when she was twelve and I was four-teen, we started to play and become friends as we grew. She became apart of our gang by the age of fifteen, I was seventeen and we where in love." He said "until when I was nineteen and she was seventeen we where expecting a child, that day someone turned us over to the police and your dad had shot Grace. He did not only kill Grace, but my unborn child in her."

"What, so you decided to take revenge by hurting me!?" I yelled standing up

"No, Em you don't understand." He whined "your hair, eyes, lips, and even your body are just the same." He says grabbing my hand "one day I did the same with her as I did with you yesterday. She had slit her resists but she was fine, she then turned to Dave and he took from me but then came back to me." He said

"I'm not Grace." I said taking my hand back

"I know." He said looking down "and I can't make you into Grace." He looked at me

"How are you sure the baby wasn't Daves?" I asked

"Don't say that." He whispers

"What can I say then!?" I yelled "should I not say that either?" I yelled

"Could you stop being stubborn." He got up and looked at me

"I don't know can you change my personality?" I said he sighed and grabbed my jaw crashing his lips into mine. I hold his wrist that's on my face as it hurts from my bruised neck, I hesitantly push him away and go back inside his house. I walk upstairs and into his room, going inside the bathroom shutting the door I lean on the sink and wash my face.

It started to get dark and I realized I haven't talked to Trisha all day, I ignore it and lay on the bed while Mason's in the shower. I close my eyes and force myself to sleep when the water turns off, I stay close to the wall and curl into a tiny ball.

When Mason walks out I act asleep, he lays down next to me and touches my hair

"I know you aren't asleep." He says "Grace had the same smile as you, same sent, same hair color." He sighs "I try to tell myself everyday, you aren't Grace, but you are just like her." He says sadly "I won't make you into Grace because" he takes the tip of his fingers and glides them up and down my arm "you are exactly like Grace." He stops and takes his hand off "except she'd sleep closer to me." He said

"Probably because she actually loved you." I say turning towards him "that's another thing that's different." I say "I don't, and won't, love you. I won't ever join this gang and I'll never give up my life if you do something to me because I'm a fighter." I say "my dad taught me well and I know I'll see my mom again."

"But the thing is, love." He said and takes my hand "you will love me, you will join this gang, and you will be mad if I cheat on you which won't happen. And you won't see your mom again because she doesn't love you, she doesn't even care if you are at her house anymore."

"My house." I say correcting him

"No love this is our house now." He grins.
