Jems was so worried that Emily wasn't back yet. She kept pacing back and forth in the living room, clutching her phone tightly in her hand, checking it every few seconds. Her heart was racing. Her mind was spinning with a thousand terrible thoughts.What if something happened to Mum? What if Jessica hurt her? What if,Knock. Knock. Knock.Jems' heart leaped. She ran to the door, expecting to see her mother. But when she opened it, it wasn't Emily standing there. It was Ethan. Before she could even process it, he pulled her into a tight embrace.Jems froze, completely shocked. Her arms hung limp at her sides. She didn't know what to do. She could feel his heartbeat against her chest, fast and strong. She could smell his cologne, and she inhaled it like she had missed the smell."I heard what happened," Ethan said, his voice muffled against her hair.
