Chapter Thirty One

Two Months Later...

Emilia's POV:

Graduation is coming up and I couldn't feel happier to finish at this place we call school. Mom's death had put a toll on me these last few months and it wasn't pretty. I didn't go to school for two weeks after the funeral and Ash has moved back in with me. Ash still goes to college just doesn't go to his dorm room. He asked his principle to cancel his dorm room as of the circumstances here at home, so that when I move out and head to NY the house won't be empty and plus we really don't want to sell the house, all our memories are in this house and now that we share it we decided it would be for the best.

As expected the students all gave me looks of sympathy but I ignored it, I didn't need to put up with sympathy from people who don't know me or my family. Me and the group had started talking again a few days after the funeral, they understood why. As for me and Dylan, life couldn't be better. Dylan has comforted me if I ever felt down about mom and he just let me talk it out, while he just listened and spoke when needed to. Which I'm very grateful for. Dylan and me spoke the day after the funeral and I guess you could say Dylan was happy when I made the call for him to come by the house.

None of my friends know about my internship, but I told my brother who is very supportive of me wanting to follow my dreams. Mom would be so proud. I only wish she would be here for me every step of the way but sadly she won't be, only watching from above the sky's.

Thank god today is Saturday and I don't have to go to school. Haha yea nope I just had to get woken up.

"Emilia." a voice hummed and I ignore it,

"Emiiilllliiiaaa."

I groan in response,

"Get up sleepy head." and someone shakes my shoulder, which in return I whack my hand to push them away, "Ouch... so violent."

"Hold on a second." a voice says and I go back into dreamland,

All of a sudden a freezing cold substance is thrown on my body and I jump up, my body shaking and my blankets are all cold.

"WHAT THE HELL?!?" I yell,

"Well she's up."

With that I look to see who it is and just what I needed, there standing in the room was Ava, Phoebe, Hunter, Cory, Jace, Aiden, Leon, oh and I haven't forgotten my boyfriend. And I also figured who the voice belonged to and the same person had the bucket in their hand... Hunter.

Asshole.

"What are you trying to kill me?!?" I say with annoyance,

"Nope just needed to wake you up." I jump out of bed and start walking to the shower, and glare at every single pair of eyes in the room,

"What the hell for?" I ask really pissed off,

"Oh just that-"

"SHOPPING!!" The girls yell and I cover my ears,

"I'm not going!" I state, "Now get the hell out of my house." I say with finality and slam the bathroom door in their faces.


That brings us back to now, I just finished getting dressed and putting on some of mom's favorite perfume, it's what makes me feel close to her now. Today I plan on going to mom's place in other words the cliff by the beach where we let her ashes go. I'm still not myself as my mother did die not long ago, it feels like I just heard the news yesterday, I still have the same nightmare but really it hasn't stopped since I heard the news.

I head downstairs to grab breakfast, only to find the group spread out along the living room couch instead,

"I thought I told you guys to get out of my house." I state and walk towards the kitchen,

"Well we knew you would forget senior year prom, so me and Phebs thought it would be fun to go dress shopping with you." Ava tells me with a small smile, I just shrug,

"I'm not going to prom. I thought I mentioned that." I tell them. I really didn't want to go this year, mom would want me to go and I know if she were here right now she would shove me out the front door in my pj's.

"Oh come on Em. It's prom!" Phebs says with a smile and I shake my head,

"Sorry girls but I'm not going." I tell them and turn to the boys confused, "If the girls are here to go shopping, what are you guys doing here?" I question, I didn't like being all snappy and what not but first off I have a reason, my monthly best friend is back.

"Well, we kinda thought we could... um," Jace starts,

"We thought we could chill out here until you get back and then we can hang out." Hunter tells me and I nod,

"Well ok, but I'm not going shopping. In fact I have other plans for this morning." I tell them with a nod and grab a granola bar from the cupboard,

"Well can we come with?" Phebs asks politely and I give her an emotionless expression,

"Sorry but you can't. I'm going by myself so yea. Oh and Ash should be back soon with Parker so,"

At that statement Ava blushes lightly but I notice it and smirk to myself. Something is up with her, I don't know if she has the hots for my brother or his friend.

"Ok, well I'll be going now." and I quickly eyed each of the boys holding my gaze on my boyfriend who smiles at me, "And don't mess up the house."

Dylan hops up, walks to me and pecks my lips lightly making the others groan and turn away.

"Oh I'll make sure they keep the house clean sweet cheeks. Nothing to worry about."

We'll see about that.

I nod glaring playfully at the boys once more and left the house, as soon as I opened the front door I notice a package, and I know who it's from. They haven't sent anything for a while after mom's death so what could they want this time. I pick it up and carry it to my car.

As soon as I get in the car I open it and just stare at the open box. Are they trying to piss me off so much I could snap their neck off. I pick up each of the photo's carefully, looking through them and then seeing the note at the bottom. The photo's were from mom's funeral and some were at the cliff of me staring into space of the ocean on my own, some were even of Ash and me in the house, and ones of me at my school locker. So whoever they are they are freaking spying on me, I carefully open the piece of folded paper and freeze,

You know I'm watching your every move bitch. - Anonymous xoxo

Like that's going to scare me to not going anywhere. I put my car in reverse and speed down the road to my mom's place. Dodging cars, and going through red lights, was my thing when I'm pissed like hell and right now I'm more than pissed, I can't even explain what I'm feeling. Adrenaline running through my veins and I'm really wanting to punch someone in the face. I'm driving so fast everything out my window is all a big blur.

All of a sudden I hear a loud horn and feel a force push my car to the side and hear windows cracking. I'm suddenly feeling dizzy and black dots start take over my vision, my heart is racing and I can barely breath, my eyes are feeling heavy and can't seem to keep them open and then I fall into the darkness.

Dylan's POV:

"If she doesn't want to go shopping don't worry about it. And she doesn't want to go to prom so just leave it ok." I tell them, I understand why Em doesn't want to go. Emilia told me herself she didn't want to go to the prom prior to her mom's death. I already planned something else for her instead of going to prom, something special for her and only her.

"No, but didn't you want to go with her?" Ava asks with a sad smile,

"Yea but-"

"No but's Dylan. You finally settled down and you want to take her to prom. Maybe if you just ask her she might say yes." Phebs cut in and I shake my head,

"No. And that's final. You should understand why she said she's not going in the first place, and plus I already organised something for us to do rather then go somewhere she doesn't want to go." I say in a determined tone.

The door swings open in a rush and Ash rushes in up stairs with Parker in tow. Then I hear someone yell,

"SHIT!!"

I get up off my seat and run upstairs to where the yelling came from, to see Ash pacing up and down his room,

"What's wrong?" I ask them calmly and Parker snaps his head up to me,

"Where is Emilia?" he asks cautiously and I look to Ash to see him about to punch a wall, I quickly grab his arm before he does,

"She didn't say where she was going, only thing she said was she was going out." I tell them and Ash looks to Parker, "Why? What happened?" I ask in panic,

"She's not answering her phone. Come on we gotta go." He answers rushing out the room,

"Wait!! Can I come?" I ask and Parker nods, seeming Ash is too busy worrying about his sister. But now that I think about it she left a few hours ago. What if something happened? What if... wait no nothing happened. I hope.

At least half an hour later on the highway we get caught in traffic. There's only traffic if there... was an accident.

"Gee what the hell is taking so fucking long!!" Ash says slamming his hands once on the steering wheel,

"Ash, Calm down. Emilia will be fine." Parker assures him,

"What if she's no..."

"I'll call her to see if she'll answer." I tell them and Parker looks to me with a small nod and Ash's eyes flick to the rear view window with no expression to his face at all.

I unlock my phone to see I have a few missed calls, mainly from Hunter. I ignore it for the moment and call Emilia's phone,

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

You have reached Emilia, please leave a message.

Damn it. Why isn't she answering.

I go to click Emilia's name again except Hunter's name pops up.

"Hunter what do you wa-"

"Bro, Emilia's in hospital. The hospital called us like I don't know ten minutes ago. Tell Ash and go now."

"WHAT!!" I yell, making Ash and Parker look at me with panic, "What do you mean she's in hospital!?!" I say in panic and just that sentence alone alerts both Ash and Parker.

Ash cusses under his breath and goes to swich lanes so we can head to the hospital, just as we are about to turn into the turning lane we see a crushed side of a car, more precisly a white GTR or should I say Emilia's GTR. They had the driver's door cut off, not only that a truck was there to. Police surrounding the scene.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Dylan? DYLAN!! Are you there?"

"Ah yea, what were you saying?" I ask, honestly still shocked,

"Go to the emergency room and ask for her."

"Ok bye." with that I hung up,

"Ash. Emilia is-"

"I heard." he says through gritted teeth, "In the emergency room right?" he says in panic and I nod, then figured he wouldn't have seen it,

"Yea." I say quietly, "I knew I should have gone with her, this is all my fault." I bang my head back on the head rest, this is seriously my fault.

"It's not your fault." Ash says so quietly, I barely heard him.

Suddenly my phone vibrates and I look down at my phone to see an blocked number and the words,

It wasn't your fault but mine. LOL.

At that I freeze. The fuck, who would think this is funny. Once I get my hands on whose fault this is I'm going to fucking kill them. I grit my teeth,

Who the fuck is this? I reply

You will soon find out, Dylan.

How the fuck do they know me.

"How fast can we get to the hospital?" I ask pissed off and sensing my change of mood Ash looks back at me,

"As soon as possible. I need to see my sister."

"Where is Emilia Josephine?" Ash asks in panic and the nurse looks up with a sad frown,

"She just came in not long ago. May I ask what relation you are to her?" she asks and Ash grits his teeth,

"Her brother, now tell me what is happening to my sister." he demands looking furious,

"She is currently in surgery, we haven't heard anything yet so your just going to have to take a seat and the doctor will call you as soon as she is out of surgery." she tells him and I look to the guys in panic,

The guys go to take a seat but I leave to go outside, I need a cigarette now. I need to know if she is okay, and if she's not I don't know what I'll do. Who the hell would say that my girl's fucking car crash is funny. There dead to me. It was most probably that person who keeps sending her those stupid packages, who would fucking do that in the first place.

I go to flick the lighter on only to have it snatched out of my hand, I look up to see it was Parker.

"Parker. Can I have my lighter back now." I say irritated,

"Look, I'm sure Emilia wouldn't want you doing this to yourself, would she?" He asks and I glare at him, as he takes a seat next to me, "She always told me she hates people smoking, that's why Ash stopped."

I snatch the lighter back and light up the cigarette taking a long drag. "Listen Parker. Emilia is my girlfriend and she already knows I smoke so.." I trail off,

"Her accident wasn't your fault Dylan. I can assure you that much." he tells me and I shake my head taking another drag,

"Yea, well it definitely is someone's fault." he looks at me confused, "I'm sure you know that someone is harassing Em," Parker just gives me a blank stare, "so he didn't tell you. Well you see someone has been sending her these anonymous packages with notes and this person has kinda been stalking her. Taking photo's of her and what not." I take out my phone and show him the messages on my phone, "The person sent me this, and I want to fucking kill them." I tell him, Parker's eyes widen,

"What the fuck? Have you told Ash? Oh he's going to fucking kill them no I'm going to fucking kill them myself. Geez. Fuck, she's like my little sister how could someone do this to her?"

"I don't know man, but I want to find out who did this."

"If they know your name then they must know who you are, right?" he asks in a rush and I take another long drag,

"Yea, we already figured that much. Emilia already tried figuring it out before we left for England, that didn't go well. Someone is out to get the both of us."

Suddenly my phone vibrates again, Parker looks first and I can tell already he looks furious, he shows me the message and my eyes widen,

You will never find out who I am. Haha.

Attached to the message was a photo of me and Parker sitting where we were right now. They're watching us. I look around to find no one suspicious. Oh once I get my hands on them they're dead.
