Over protective

Chapter one (3 years earlier)

As I sat on my bed crying my eyes out I was thinking of all the memories that flashed thorough my head, when me and my dad first went to the movies when we both worked on the twins nursery for a week and how we had that paint fight. More memories i thought of and made me cry harder. My dad, our dad.. he left us for her, that damn Young skank who lived across the street, she was a air hostess who always wore her skirt a little to high. My mom had found a note:

"I'm so sorry Tanya
I'm leaving you for her, Vicky, you know the air hostess who lives across the street? Well yeah were moving to Florida to be together, were deeply in love. I'm sorry but we have been together for nearly 20 years now and I feel like our marriage is dead. I left the divorce papers in the office draw bottom left. There is a note stuck on it with the new address were me and Vicky now live. Send when you have signed them. Tell the kids I love them, I'm sure there under stand.
Yours faithfully
Terry."

I remember just about an hour ago our mom reading it to us and I instantly broke down in tears I still am. But on the other had by brother..well he can't let it process. He punched a wall and stormed out the house. An hour later my mom is in the office probably struggling to sign the papers and my brother still missing. I, still on my bed crying. I just can't believe it he's gone. I jumped when I heard a knock at the door. 'Jess, Jess are you in there?' It was my brother, I was relieved he was home. I sniffed and I heard the door crack open. I turned to see my brother with hair sticking out here and there with slight red eyes but probably not as red as mine. 'Ohh jessie' he cried out through tears. He came over to my bed and I will never forget this moment but he hugged me, like a genuine loving hug, sure we had hugged before but not a lot, not like this. I rest my head on his shoulder and I couldn't hold it in no more I just cried on his shoulder and he did the same.
He pulled away after about 5 minutes and said calmly 'hey stop it now, we...we need to.... Uh..' 'need to what?' i asked trying to hold back even more tears. 'We're the oldest your 11 almost 12 and I'm 14, the twins are still a year old we need to help mom every way we can, ok?' He looked me straight in the eyes. I just hugged him, I could hear his heart beating as I leaned on his chest. Sure I wanted to help mom but I couldn't even think like I could talk. I just needed to sleep. 'We can't just let mom do all the work now, we need to help her Jess, we need to stay strong' I nodded slightly. I heard him sigh under his breath 'I love you Jess' I looked up to meet his slightly red watery eyes 'love you too' I said as i tried my best to smile. He tried to smile back, he kissed the top of my forehead, a thing he has never done before. I put my head back to his chest and tried to control my breathing. 'What are we going to do now since... well ..uh we have no dad, I mean like will we be ok?' I could feel James arms tense around me as I said the word "dad".
' I..uhh... Yea were gonna be ok, I promise you Jess' he said as he quickly kissed my head and leaned his head on mine.
'Are you tired?' He asked. 'Mmm' I mumbled a yes into his chest. Before I could get up I was picked up bridal style and placed back on my bed but under the covers. He crouched down and asked 'are you gonna be okay'? I nodded. 'Ya sure I could stay her for a while until you fall asleep'?
' I'll be okay' I mumbled against the duvet. He nodded and stood up he towered over me and hesitated for a moment. He walked over to the door and and exited but before he closed the door he popped his head around 'if you need anything I will be in my room or if you want mom she's in the kitchen with the twins last times I checked' I nodded and he left. Turning up to look at the ceiling and thought about what just happened. Wow my brother being human and nice to be for once, I mean not like he wasn't mean to me it's just we argued now and then nothing serious. I kept on thinking about our arguments we've had and laugh a little of how stupid they were. I closed my eyes and I soon dozed off.

( couple hours later into midnight)

'Hey Jess! Were are you boo?' I giggled as I stood behind the big oak tree in our back garden. 'mmm, I wonder were my jess is?' My dad said, he knew were I was hiding but being 6 he wanted to fool me into thinking he couldn't find me. 'Hmm I wonder if my Jessie is over here?' I put my hands over my eyes thinking no one or nothing could see me. All of a sudden I felt two strong arms around my tiny waist. 'ah, I got Ya boo' I heard my dad say as he spines me around. I giggled so hard as my mom and brother came out with trays of food, it was mid afternoon and the sun was shining so brightly. It was Father's day and I couldn't be more proud to hand over the home made gifts I had made my dad. We all sat at the table and started to dig in to the Father's Day meal. Watching my mom and dad share smiles across the table and then back at us 2, I couldn't of been more happier.
(End of dream)
I woke up to the sound of tapping at the window, I shrugged it off and tried to get back to sleep. My eyes felt a lot less sore, but I still felt sad and horrible inside, maybe it was because of us, of me?
I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts when my bedroom window smashed, I saw a black figure step into my room. As the figure walked over I hid more and more behind the sheets, glass crunched against the carpet. He crept further and further until I was more horrified of who or what it was.
We made eye contact and as that exact moment i started to scream. 'Shut the fuck up' the figure growled at me ' shut up you little shit!' the figure then said I a low voice. 'Mommy! James!' I screamed ever so loudly.

~James Pov~
I was dreaming about Jessie and I with our dad. We was at his work place fixing cars. I remember we had a fun day, then coming home to mom with a cooked meal on the table. I guess it was more of a flash back then a dream. All of a sudden I woke up to screaming. Jessie!
I jumped out of the bed and grabbed my bat and stormed over to Jessie's room.
I burst in and saw a man putting his hand over Jessie's mouth.
'Shut the fuck up' the guy said, I crept up behind him and whacked him so hard on his head. I rolled his half conscious body into the floor and I started punching the sick fuck. I kept pounding his face harder and harder. Its like everything around me i just.... blanked out. It wasn't till after moment that my mom was trying to pry me off the guy and shouting my name. 'JAMES! JAMES STOP IT' was all I could hear coming from behind me when all of a sudden I heard a lighter voice 'James, please, please' I looked over to see my little sister. Terrified, of what happened, what I did, I've turned into a monster. I looked down a the guy and stood up, he was covered in blood. I could already hear my mom calling the cops and most probably paramedics. I wiped some of his blood down my shirt until my hands were clean. I looked over at Jess, she was crying. I stepped over to sit on her bed. I put my head in my hands. What have I just done? Have I killed him? All of a sudden I felt arms wrap around me I tensed and then realized who it was. Jess. 'Thank you' I heard her say through tears. From this day I'm letting no one hurt my family as hurt they already have been. Especially Jess, I'm letting no man or boy ever hurt her EVER.....
