The Baby Project: Book 1

Chapter 25

Blake's POV

"So is this your new girl?" Max smirked circling Emma who was tied to a chair

"Don't you dare fucking touch her you bastard!"I yelled trying to get up but the ropes around my hands and feet held me back to the chair

"Oh I won't. I wouldn't say the same for these two other there though." Max gestures to two older looking men who were looking at my girlfriend with greedy eyes. I gave max a death glare. If I wasn't tied up I would be lunging for his neck.

"Don't give me that look Blake...if you hadn't told her everything and brought her into this whole mess she would be safe and probably dating a boy that isn't so...messed up" Max smiled evilly

"He isn't messed up" Emma spoke up for the first time we were brought here

"Oh but he is my dear girl. You see we all are messed up here. I for one love to see people cry in pain. It sorta soothes me" max told Emma while taking a little pocket knife from his pocket

"Stop don't hurt her! Where's the boss?" I yelled from my seat trying to move forward

"Someone duck tape his annoying mouth up please" max rolled his eyes and continued walking towards Emma who just sat there staring at the knife.

"Emma I'm sorry! I love you! Please Emma I'm sorry look at me!" I yelled right before duck tape was put over my mouth

Max slowly walked up to Emma placing the knife on her cheek. I watched a tear roll down her face. She look directly at me with a straight blank face and no emotion.

"Blake Stevens I hate you" Emma muttered before shutting her eyes waiting for max to finally make his move

I struggled in my chair trying to get out. I screamed so hard but the duck tape muted me. This is all my fault. I saw max slice Emma's left side of her face and watch blood run down. I immediately start sobbing at the fact that I practically caused her this pain.

I listened to Emma's unbearable screams of pain and shut my eyes not wanting to watch it anymore.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

.......

"Blake!" Emma yelled shaking me causing me to open my eyes. I looked around the room panting. I was in Emma's room. No ropes. No Max. I turned my head towards Emma and saw she had no cuts and that she was fine too. I sighed in relief and quickly brought my lips to hers and gave her a hug which still hurt doing with all my bruises.

"I'm sorry Emma don't hate me" I said as I was replaying her words in my nightmare

"I would never hate you Blake. It was just a bad dream. It's ok. You're fine" Emma calmed me down bringing my breathing back to normal. I gently pushed her out of the hug so I can see her face again. I kissed the place on her face where max cut her and rubbed my thumb over it. Emma gave me a confused face but didn't utter a word.

"Wanna talk about it?" Emma asked climbing onto the bed next to me

"No" I mumbled realizing that her sheets where kind of wet from my sweat and I still had sweat beading my forehead

"You don't have to. I was so scared though" Emma said softly wiping my face with her sleeve

"Why were you scared? I asked her

"Well I never saw you looked so frightened before. It was a whole different side of you even though you were dreaming. I was scared of what made you act that way." Emma said
