My Brother's Best Friend Is My Mate

Chapter 30: Stay With Me

There is alot of blood. But not quite as much as whoever did this wanted. Liam immediately looks at

me, his eyes, a glowing amber, searching my body for any cuts. I don't see a trace of blood on his face

or anywhere else, which is weird because small cuts decorate my hands almost as many as the

smashed glass across my lap. "Are you okay?" Liam asks worriedly and I nod, a obvious lie, because I

don't want him to worry about me. My head is pounding and I feel like I'm going to die. I touch my

forehead and almost gasp when I feel a sticky, wet substance on my fingers, supposedly blood. Liam

looks as if he doesn't believe me but he doesn't press me about it as he focuses on the situation ahead

of us, literally. Before Liam and I can even say anything more, I see a bulky figure walk up to the side of

our car. I quickly roll my window up but the person smashes the window with his own hands and rips

the car door off. I hope Liam has insurance. Liam is outside in a flash, in inhuman speed and he tackles

the man. The man falls to the floor with a frozen expression on his face and I look away. Oh my God, I

just witnessed someone die in front of me. I sound like a psychopath but okay. Before Liam can get

back to me someone else sneaks up behind me and drags me out of the car, pulling my hair in the

process. In seconds he has me outside, with his hands wrapped around my throat. I try kicking him but

he feels like a bag of cement which isn't very effective in my situation. Liam finally turns around and his

expression is stone cold. "Give us the girl and we'll let you go." The man's gruff voice echoes in my

ears. Me? What good would I be to him? Liam's eyes clear over and his eyes go back to normal within

a second. "You can take the girl." He states with a unreadable expression on his entire face. "Liam-" I

try but he stops me with a look. "Don't." He interrupts and my stomach falls. The man seems surprised

that Liam gave in without a fight, I expect he was really expecting a wrestling match. Suddenly I hear a

crack and the arms around me loosen. I whip around and see Spencer standing behind the man. What

is she doing here? I turn around to see Liam coming towards me. "You fucking sell out! What were you

thinking? I could've gotten killed. And to think I thought I could actually trust you." I hit him repeatedly in

the chest before I feel Spencer pull us apart. I can't believe Liam would do me like that. "Can you stop?

He called me here to help you." Spencer says and my heart stops beating in my chest. Liam looks as if

he is holding back a laugh and I suddenly feel terrible. "Oh my goodness! Liam, I am so sorry for the

terrible things I have said to you." I feel like giving him a hug but that would probably be awkward for

him right now. Liam shrugs it off and I can hear Spencer laughing her ass off. "You should've see your

little hands beating against his chest.... like a little dinosaur. " Spencer cannot contain her laughter.

"Don't do that again." She continues and I laugh, all my anger at her for forgetting my birthday

disappearing. "Are you still going back home?" Spencer asks looking down at the ground. "I don't think

that would be a good idea. There are obviously people after you Emerald. I want you near me, where I

can know you're safe. Where I can protect you." Liam says all in one breath. "I mean, if you want to

stay-" Liam starts again but I interrupt his caring rambling. "Of course I do." I answer and Liam smiles.

He scratches the back of his neck and then walks off to call someone on his phone leaving Spencer

and I in a deep silence. I'm the first one to break the silence. "Spencer I am so sorry for lashing out like

that earlier. It was extremely immature and I feel really bad for saying the things I did and acting the

way I did." I tell her. Spencer looks up at me and I squint under her gaze. "I'm the one sorry. I forgot

your birthday. But all I wanted was to prank you!" She screams out in excitement. I am suddenly

confused as Spencer does a little jig, hopping around on one leg. "This was a prank?" I can barely get Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

the words out as Spencer laughs again. "Yup, and you fell for it. How could I forget my best friend's

birthday. Happy Birthday Emerald!" She teases and I hit her lightly on the shoulder. "Let's not fight

again." I tell Spencer as she wraps me into a hug. "We're always going to fight. Plus, I really enjoy

kicking your skinny butt." Spencer laughs again at her own joke. We both pull away from the longest

hug I've gotten gotten Spencer into. "Ha ha ha....very funny." I say. Spencer smiles and she looks at

Liam for a little while before looking at me. "I love you, my non kissing soul mate." Spencer hugs me

again and we both sit down on the hard asphalt road. "I love you, my totally not funny non kissing soul

mate." I say and Spencer throws her head back in laughter. And just like that, my non kissing soul mate

is mine again.
