"JAMES STOP IT!" I yelled at my brother who was beating the shit out of Jack. "STOP JAMES! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" I tried to pull James off of Jack, but James turned around and slapped me.

I started to cry. My brother has never hit me because he knew that Reese hurt me enough.

Jack saw what James did and flipped him over. Jack started punching him in the face. He didn't stop until I pulled him off.

James' and Jack's knuckles were both bleeding terribly. Jack had a bloody lip and James had a bloody face. I sat James up and looked at him.

"Why are you so stupid?" I asked.

"I'm protecting my baby sister." he spit blood out. "I'm sorry for hitting you."

"You need to stop doing that, I'm nineteen James." I ignored his apology.

I went into the bathroom and got the necessities I needed to clean Jack and James up.

James sat on the counter and blew on his knuckles. I got a wash cloth and put some rubbing alcohol on it.

"This might burn a little." I looked up at James.

"You need to stop doing that I'm twenty-one," James mimicked me.

"Okay smartass." I put the cloth on his hand and he winced in obvious pain.

"Told you." I shrugged.

I got a wash cloth with water on it and put it on his face.

"I'm gonna let you clean the rest of that off because I'll hurt you more."

I wrapped his hand up and let him tape it together himself. I walked over to Jack and sighed.

"What am I going to do with you?" I laughed.

"Hopefully not do that as painful to me as you did your brother." he laughed.

"Never would I ever hurt you." I kissed his cheek.

Jack pressed his forehead to mine. I sighed, pulled back, and started to clean his hand.

After I was done I put the kit back I walked out to the living room, but Jack and James weren't there.

"Jack," I called.

No answer.

"James."

No answer.

Where the hell did they go?

"I STILL DONT APPROVE OF YOU DATING HER! SHE IS TOO YOUNG FOR YOU! TWO YEARS IS A LOT! YOU CAN GO TO BARS AND DRINK LEGALLY, SHE CANT! You're going to go out one day, get totally shitfaced, and you're going to cheat on my baby sister! Do you know what she will feel like afterwards? You're going to crush her into millions of pieces, and I don't want to stand by and watch that happen to her. We can still be friends, hell we have always been, but whenever you talk to me, please don't talk about my little sister and yours relationship. I don't want to hear if you fucked her senseless or if you got good head from her, just don't tell me. Got it?" I heard James in the other family room.

"Yeah. I totally understand man," Jack said in a calm voice.

I walked into the room and they were hugging. I padded over to Jack and laced my small fingers through his big ones.

He looked down at me and kissed my forehead.

"I have to go. I'll call you later so we can make plans to see mom and dad sometime soon. They miss you." James came over to me and hugged me.

"I love you James."

"I love you too Bailee." James let go and smiled at me.

"See you around Jack."

"Yeah." Jack hugged James.

"Bye."

"Bye," Jack and I said in unison.

We heard the door click shut and we were alone again.

"Can we have a chill out day today?" I asked Jack.

"Yeah."

Jack picked me up by my legs and threw me over his shoulder.

"Jack! Your ass is in my face!" I laughed.

"You know you want it to be!" he laughed and smacked my butt.

"Watch it Finnegan." I wrapped my arms around his abdomen and held on.

When we got to Jack's room he threw me on the bed and plopped down next to me.

"Bailee can I tell you a secret?" Jack looked at me.

I nodded. "mhm."

He whispered in my ear, "I love you."

I giggled and hugged him. He pulled me closer to him and I laid my head on his chest.

"I love you too."

Jack stroked his hand back and forth on my back lightly while I played with his hair.

I fell into sleep shortly afterwards

* * *

"Yeah I'm leaving right now," I heard Jacks voice.

I groaned and he kissed my forehead. "I love you baby. I'll be back soon."

Jack shut the door and I heard the front door open and close.

I sat up, wondering what he was doing. I rubbed my eyes and stood up.

I walked to the front door and looked out the window. Jack was getting into a black SUV. Being curious, I looked at what time it was and saw that it was three thirty in the morning.

Jack doesn't have any friends that would be calling him and picking him up at three thirty in the morning.

I walked back to Jacks room and sat on the bed.

Minutes later I heard moans and groans coming from a guy. Then I heard tire screeches.

I ran out to the front door and swung it open. I couldn't process why this would happen.
