Zack got me some new t shirts for Greenday, Blink 182, Yellowcard, and Paramore. I hugged him and kissed his cheek before moving on. Rian and Cass got me band bracelets for SWS, ATL, BVB, MMF, PTV, and FIR. My favorite from them though was a necklace that had a guitar pick with a bird on it. It was beautiful and my design I doodle on everything. Jack got me a T-shirt that said mini barakat on the back along with a random pair of vans that were signed by most of my favorite bands. I nearly fan girled but gave him a hug and kiss like everyone else. Alex gave me a box of guitar picks and strings. He also got me a leather jacket that said: Property of A.W.G. on the back. I got to Nicks present and giggled knowing he had already given me one but who cares I got him another too. He got me a Skateboard with my design on the bottom with red and blue and purple feathers on the bird. I hugged him and he just smiled. I kissed his lips softly and pecked his cheek like everyone else. I got Alex a hoodie with Thing 1 printed on the front. I got Thing 2 for Jack and told them I had one saying Thing 3. Cass got earrings and a matching skull and cross bones necklace. Zack got a bunch of CDs I knew he wanted. Rian got a t shirt that said RiRi on the back with my design.

After the presents were exchanged I put them up in my room and joined everyone for lunch or really breakfast since no one ate breakfast. We all ate a bunch of pancakes I made that were chocolate chip and banana. I also made regular blueberry ones and some toast and bacon. I didn't usually cook but, I still love it from when I used to with Lydia. "You should cook for us like every day forever." Jack said his mouth full. I laughed and Alex slapped the back of his head. We cleared the dishes and curled up watching movies in a blanket fort in the living room.

My phone rang and I groaned reaching out to grab it. "Hello?" I asked and I checked the time. 2: 17 am. Who is calling me now? "Hello. Did you really think you could get away with this?" I chocked on air when the voice came through. I heard murmurs and saw everyone still asleep. Cass and Rian were on the couch. Zack was in a recliner Alex and Jack were on one side of me and Nick was on the other. "Why do you keep calling me? It's over. You are not my guardian and you have no right to talk to me." I hissed viciously into the phone. Nick stirred a little and I tried to be quieter. I heard a laugh through the phone. A laugh that can give even the toughest man nightmares. "Over? Ha no it's not over. You can't run from me. Your pretty little self must be punished. Your tattooed freaks cannot stand in the way. I will find you and I will take you back with me. This isn't over until I say it is." He growled and my heart sped up. My jaw tensed and I nearly cried when he said one more thing. "See you soon." He said with laughter. My phone slipped from my hand and landed in the heap of brackets twisted around me.

"Love?" I heard Nick sit up but, I didn't break my gaze from the front door. Nicks arms wrapped around me and I knew I was shaking. I flinched at his touch and saw him wince out of the corner of my eye. "He called me." I whispered. "He's coming for me." I added and I felt Nick dig around. He placed my pills in my hand and I managed to swallow them despite my dry mouth. His arms wrapped around me protectively and I relaxed a little in his arms. "Your safe. I'll never let anyone hurt you." He whispered and I fell asleep hours later with tears running down my face and my arms desperately around Nicks. His very presence keeping me calm.

I woke up with a pounding headache. I shifted an untangled myself from Nick. I looked and saw Cass and Rian gone, probably getting dressed, along with Zack. Jack was still curled up asleep with Alex's two dogs. Alex was texting when I sat up. I looked up at him and met his gaze as I stretched. I knew I probably had dark circles under my eyes along with bags and maybe tear stains. He instantly looked worried but, I shrugged him off and walked upstairs. I passed Rian and Cass who both seemed worried at my appearance but, I need a hot shower and some clean clothes to feel okay.

I took a long shower and put my hair in a bun before pulling on Nicks t shirt and a pair of sweats with some fuzzy socks. I did nothing to cover the circles under my eyes and simply walked downstairs. Nick was in the kitchen eating some toast and handed me a piece with Nutella on it. I silently took it and ate. "You need to tell them what happened last night." He said and I nodded. "Yeah. Where are they?" I asked and he pointed to the dining room. I grabbed his hand and kissed him before pulling him into the room with me. I just stood there while they all are and then just said it. "He called me. He's looking for me. It's not over." I said and everyone tensed. Alex punched the wall angrily and Jack calmed him down. I walked out of the room and Nick followed me to my room. "I don't care if it's dangerous to be around you. We all love you and we will fight for you." Nick said reading my expression. I crumbled in his arms. He caught me and carried me to my bed. "When will it ever end? When I finally feel happy. When I finally have a family. He's coming for me. I'm dangerous to be around. I'm scared he's going after my family. Someone's going to get hurt." I sobbed and he just rubbed my back. "No ones going to be hurt. Especially not you. I love you and I'll never let him get to you. It's not over, I'm aware of that, but just by judging from Alex's reaction we both know we have three very pissed of bands that will do anything to end this. For you. I love you and so do that. Keep fighting my love because we won't give up until it's over." I pulled away and listened to him. My lips connected with his slowly and I pulled away resting my head in his shoulder. "I love you too."
