Jazz's P.O.V.

halfway through Kaden lecturing Harry and I on, A. how to treat your siblings, and B. the fact that all we ate was frozen pizza and poptarts, I jumped up from the couch and ran to the bathroom, emptying my stomach. 

"Shit, hey you're okay kid.", Harry said softly as him and Kaden came in. 

"I'm-I'm fine.", I choked out. 

"You're freezing cold and sweating.", he said pulling his jacket around me.

"Cold sweats, shaking, throwing up- you're having withdrawal.", Kaden pointed out.

"Y-Yeah."

"How long?"

"A-About a month."

"A month?", Harry whispered, "Why-Why didn't I know?"

"I controlled it until nighttime. I thought you'd get mad or feel guilty."

"Yeah but I'm not upset with you. I would have helped you before now."

"I-I didn't know vaping was nicotine. I wouldn't have started if I knew how hard it'd be to stop."

"We're gonna help you." Kaden nodded,

"And I'm really proud of you for staying."

"Me too.", harry said softly. We all sat on the bathroom floor, Harry's head on my shoulder as I leaned on Kaden, 

"Thanks for coming over."

"Of course. But you guys called on me for help and I'm taking it seriously. From here on out, I consider you my kids. That means you're required to come to family dinner at my house twice a week, I'll stop in randomly to check on you, and you both agree to my rules and consequences. Okay?"

"Okay.", we both chimed. 

"Good. Let's get you to bed babe. You need to rest.", he said softly. They both stood up as Kaden picked me up and carried me to my room. 

"Thanks for taking care of me.", I yawned as he covered me up.

"Don't mention it kid. Get some rest." 

Kaden's P.O.V.

"Our dad really messed her up.", Harry whispered as we sat in the living room, "Our parents got arrested when she was eight and when they were away for good, she told me dad was sexually abusing her. We don't talk about it now, I tried to get her help but she's convinced it didn't happen."

"Maybe it's better that way for now."

"Probably."

"Listen, accepting you two as my kids means you have to follow the rules too, adult or not, okay?"

"Okay. It's been awhile since I've had any rules or structure either.", he shrugged.

"I know. What I'm saying is hand over the cigarettes." He froze, 

"I... didn't think you knew about that."

"Well I do. Get them." He sighed, pulling a carton out from under the couch and handing it to me. "Thank you. If I catch you smoking again- and I will catch you- I'll have your ass. Got me?"

"Yes sir."

"Good."

Mia and I ran into our family doctor at the grocery store. He was a little older than my dad and had been there when I was born and when all my kids were born. Well, almost all.
