His Secret Obsession
Chapter 50

(Emery)

Asher took my hand firmly, his eyes darting to Carson as he too gripped Jackie and pulled her close. This party had to be the most chaotic thing I had ever witnessed in my life. Like honestly it looked like one of those wild parties from a movie..I don't know how it got this bad but Mack was definitely in over her head. The difference between this party and the ones in the past was that Carson usually watched over the house whenever she had people over, but he didn't want to be involved..I'm guessing that's why it ended up this way. "Let's get you two to the office first and then Carson and I will bust the party up." Asher explained and my heart clenched. What if something bad happened to them?

"Baby." I breathed, looking up at him worriedly.

"It will be okay, I promise." He spoke gently before bending down and placing his lips firmly against mine.

"Let's just get you guys to Mack, then we can assess the situation. We might just have to end up calling the cops." Carson added, looking down at an equally worried Jackie.

We didn't know what kind of people were here but I didn't want them to take any chances against some hostile drunk or something.

"Let's go, and if you see Ethan let me know, I want to have a couple of words with him." Carson said while firmly gripping the bat he was still carrying..I guess it was better to be prepared.

We walked towards the front door, which was left wide open while people filing in and out of the house. Carson looked fuming mad, which I can't blame..there was dirt and mud all over the front carpet, and even a few of their decorative potted plants were shattered on the ground. It looked like someone else had the same idea to bring a bat and just smashed everything..what kind of people would do this to someone's home?

"My parents are going to be livid." Carson yelled above the music.

Asher continued to look straight ahead, his arm now firmly around my waist as he walked with me towards the back hall.

There was a DJ like always up on the stairs and people were dancing in the middle of the room. I couldn't help but feel multiple eyes on me as bodies swayed back and forth as we fought our way through. Random hands reaching out and gripping my arm or waist were firmly pushed away by Asher as I turned my head into his side.

"Move the f**k out of the way!" Carson shouted, practically squishing Jackie to his chest as he walked with her in front of him.

Even a few girls began rubbing their hands across Asher, making me glare at them with annoyance..what the hell, was everyone on drugs or something?!

After weaving through the dance floor, we were now in the hallway where multiple couples were making out or doing something much worse..I feel like I was pretty much walking blindly at this point. I kept my eyes shut the whole time as my arms firmly wrapped around Asher's waist, fisting his shirt in my hands as he lead me through the house.

"We're almost there baby." He breathed against my ear and I nodded my head.

I feel like I have never been in such a scary situation in my life. I know I might of been overreacting but with the loud music, people yelling, and the random hands grabbing me earlier..I felt overwhelmed and shocked by this whole situation. No wonder Mack called me..this was bad, really really bad.

We finally made it to their dad's office and we noticed a few guys by the door laughing. The doors were made of glass and you could see through them unless you pulled down the blinds.

"Hey cutie..let us in, we just want to talk." The guys teased, tapping on the door once more.

Carson placed Jackie beside us before barreling forward, lifting the bat over his head.

"Get the fuck away from there right now!" Carson shouted, startling the two guys as they stumbled back. Their eyes went wide with fear as soon as the bat came into focus and they put their hands up in surrender.

"Chill dude! We were just having fun!" One of the guys who had blonde hair said, trying to act like they were just playing around.

"If you two don't get the fuck out of my house right now..I will make it so you never wished you stepped a single foot in it." Carson's voice was low and promising, causing a chill to shudder through me as Jackie huddled against my side.

"Fine! Whatever you say man..no big deal." The blonde spoke once again, stepping away cautiously as they slipped past us and took off running down the hall.

Once it was clear, I raced to the office, looking through the glass doors and noticing the room was dark and seemingly empty.

"Mack, Mack are you in there? It's me Em." I hollered, knocking on the door as I quickly noticed a dark figure popping its head out from under the desk.

"Em!" Mack sobbed, trying to get to her feet before stumbling forward. After a few more attempts she was able to get to the door and fumbled with the lock, trying to open it.

As soon as the door opened she flew into my arms, her head burying into the crook of my neck as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"It's okay, we are here now..it's all okay." I tried to soothe her, rubbing her back calmly as I felt Asher pulling us into the office before closing the door and locking it once again. This time though he shut the blinds so no one could see us. "I'm s-so-sorry." She stuttered, her tears soaking my shirt as Carson began to pace back and forth, running his hand through his hair.

"What the hell were you thinking MacKenzie?!" He yelled in disbelief, making her pull away as she wiped her eyes and sniffled..

She look at Carson with shame filling her eyes and I could tell Carson felt bad for yelling at her.

"Fuck..come here." He gasped, tugging her arm as he pulled her into a hug, making her cry even harder.

"I messed up Carson..so many people began showing up and then the whole Ethan thing." She choked out, making Asher tense beside me. His hand gripping my own now as he refused to let go even though we were in the safe confinement of the office. "Did Ethan hurt you Mack..more than you said he did?" Asher asked softly, trying not to upset her more as she shook her head no.

"It's..it's not me I am worried about." Her voice was barely a whisper as she drifted her eyes toward me.

I looked around in confusion..why was she looking at me like that?

"What the fuck does that mean?" Carson asked in frustration, sharing a glance with Asher.

"He has pictures..of Em..ones he could only have if he followed her..and..and he said he wants her..he is crazy Carson.." She began to cry again and my jaw dropped. Pictures of me? What kind of pictures? Before I could even process what she even said, Asher pulled away from me, dropped my hand, and yanked the door open angrily.

"Where the hell are you going?" Carson shouted, my mouth unable to move as I felt like I was in shock now.

"I'm going to kill the fucking guy." Asher said in the coolest calmest voice I had ever heard from him and it scared the hell out of me..because I thought he just might do it.
