Chapter eleven

Emma's pov
My head aches so bad and i feel weak all over my joints. Everywhere was dark, I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I felt a hand on my chest, pushing my chest. I tried to respond but I could not respond. I was hearing voices even though they were not clear enough. I felt a mouth on mine, forcing air into my mouth. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw Lucas. My eyes widened in shock because his mouth was on mine. What the actual fuck?

"What the fuck is happening? Are you out of your mind?" I said to Lucas weakly. I gave him a slap on his face and pushed him away from me. Someone gasped and the person was Eva. "Why did you slap him?" Eva yelled at me. I groaned because my head ached the more as she yelled at me. "I'm done! I'm done with dealing with her. Now, get up from my bed now!" Lucas yelled at me. His bed? I looked at my surroundings, what happened? What am I doing in his house? Or room? Oh my goodness.

"Did you rape me?" I blurted out because that was the only thing I could think of. " Emma! Don't say that",Eva cautioned me. Lucas stared at me with so much anger and disgust in his eyes. "Rape you? Where is that even coming from?" He asked as he shook his head. " Then what happened? Why am i in your room? Why do I feel so weak? Why did you kiss me?" I yelled weakly. " First of, I didn't kiss you. I'm not attracted to you in any way so get that into your head", he said to me and I rolled my eyes.

" You should be grateful, Emma. He risked his life to save yours", Eva said. Risked his life to save mine? " Lucas was almost killed by a big animal when he tried to save you. We found you on the floor in the streets, you were unconscious so we brought you here and what he did was CPR to revive you back",Eva explained. Now I remember what happened. I was going home then I saw a really big dog with red eyes coming close to me. I passed out I guess.

"You are an ungrateful bitch. I saved your life and the first thing you did was to slap me? I regret ever helping you",Lucas said to me and I bit my lip feeling guilty already. He saved my life even though we were enemies. "I'm sorry, I did not know. I'm sorry for hitting you, I'm sorry. Thank you for saving my life",I apologized sincerely. " Keep your apology to yourself",he replied and walked out of his room. He used my words against me, I know I deserve it.

"You are too hard on him , Emma", Eva sighed and I sighed too. "I had no idea, I thought he did something bad to me. Astrid said he raped a girl when they were in high school so I thought he did the same thing to me. It's not my fault",I said. " Astrid? That guy must be really out of his mind. Lucas has never done such thing and I'm sure of that. He is Chris's childhood friend and they know each other to well. Don't believe that Astrid guy. He is evil",she advised and I nodded. " Thank you for helping me. Thank you so much",I said to Eva and she smiled.

" I didn't do anything. You have to thank Lucas and Chris. They saved your life",she advised. " Let me go get cloth and water. You are burning up", she said and left me alone in Lucas's room. I looked round the room, it doesn't scream Lucas at all. I closed my eyes, I feel so weak and exhausted. Joan? Why didn't she pick me from school? Is she okay? Where is my phone?

Lucas entered the room and sat on a couch beside the bed. "You need to leave like right now",he said. "Uhm.. I can't go home alone tonight. My sister, I need my phone",I stuttered and avoided his gaze. " You know if not for me, you would have been dead and the first thing you could think of when you woke up was me raping you. Are you that low?" he raised a curious brow. " I'm sorry. I really appreciate you, thank you for saving my life",I said. He rolled his eyes and gave me my phone.

" Call whoever you want to call. I don't want you to sleep in my house all through the night", he said. I deserve that.I dialed Joan's number several times but she didn't pick up. What's going on with her? Why is she not picking my calls? "My sister is not picking her calls. I don't know what's wrong",I groaned. " Then call your parents. Your mom ? Or dad? Or your boyfriend? Call somebody, I want you out of this house. I have done enough for you",he said and I sighed.

" My dad is dead, my mom and I are not in good terms. I do not have a boyfriend, my sister is the only person I have and she is not picking up her calls. Please let me stay here, I can't go out. Damn it, I can't even stand up from this bed all by myself",I said sadly. Lucas eyes softened a little bit then he frowned again.

"I'm sorry about your dad. Keep calling your sister. And you have to change that nasty behavior of yours if you want to have a boyfriend",he advised. I rolled my eyes and frowned. He left me alone in the room again. I'm worried about Joan. I called her again and she finally pick up after the fourth ring. "What the actual fuck Joan?" I said in my usual angry voice. "I'm so sorry, Emma. I know I forgot to pick you from school and I'm so sorry for that", she apologized.

" You are not sorry. Did you even care about my condition? What if I was kidnapped or killed?",I yelled at her. " I'm sorry, sis. I hope you are okay? It's our mom, I received a call that she fell from the stairs. I had to rush her to the hospital that was when I found out that she has cancer. Our mom has just few months left to live", Joan explained and broke down into tears. The phone slipped away from my hand.....
