Will we (I) make it?

New Family.

~The Wheeler's House(3)~

A knock is placed on the door and Bree opens it. "Hey. Hi Jake."

"Did you know?" "Jake you have specify-" "WHO TOLD! Did you know? and don't lie to me Bree."

"We'll talk about this when we go in." Kim says putting her hand on his back softly pushing him in.

The five of them walk in and sit at table and Jake's anxiety quickly spikes.

The awkwardness can be felt so Kim starts talking, but Jake is listening at all. "So-" "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.I'm sorry, i'm sorry,i'm sorry,i'm sorry,i'm sorry." Jake keeps whispering and no one hears.

"Jake? Did you hear what Detective Evans said?" Logan asks. "Yeah.." He says lying. "So, Jake. We know he's been hitting you. While we investigate you'll be staying here and if it's proved right to the judge, your dad will be sent to jail." Agent Jones says.

"No, you can't send him to jail. I-it's not his fault y'know? He wasn't always like this, after my mom died he just couldn't deal with it anymore. He's all I have left, you can't." Jake says standing up and looking at the others.

"Jake. You have us." Bree says holding his hand. "But you're not my dad!" Jake yells and falls back into the chair. "Jake, he hits you!" Kim yells. "And who told you that? Devon?" Jake asks.

"Yes, he did actually." Kim says. "What? N- no he didn't...." "Ms. Fairchild actually noticed too, they just want to help you." Kim says. "We all do."

"Then don't send my dad away." Jake says gritting his teeth. "We're wasting our time here. Jake you have to stay here end of discussion." Agent Jones says and two gets up to leave.

"Jake..." Bree says but he's already halfway up the stairs.

He opens his new bedroom door and sees his duffel bags in the middle of his room. He goes to the bathroom and open the mirror cabinet and grabs the black box with him and Devon on it. Jake grabs it, sighs, and does it.

Afterwards, Jake just lays in bed and Junior gets home and Jake phone blows up with calls from Devon, but he ignores them. A quick knock is then places at his door, it's Junior.

"Hey, I heard what happened. I'm sorry." Junior says at the door and Jake reluctantly gets up and opens it. "It's fine." Jake leaves the door open then lays back on his bed.

"So, what're they doing now?" "I'm living here." Jake says sounding sad about staying there. "You say it like it's a bad thing."

"JUNIOR! Get ready you have cross-country practice!" Logan yells from downstairs. "Bye." Junior closes his cousin's door.

~The Evan's House~

"What the hell mom?! You swore!" Devon yells barging into the house. "I trusted you." "Devon, you and I both know what probably would've happened to him if he stayed." Kim says putting her hands on his shoulders, but he quickly he quickly shrugs them off.

"Mom, I know you want what's the best for me but if you really did you would've left it alone." Devon says he grabs his coat, phone and heads to Lexy's.

~~~Time Skip~~~
~~~Month Later~~~

Lucas was given six months then probation then therapy. Kim apologized to Jake and Devon and they accepted. Jake has slowly, but surely been getting better, he's decided it's safer to live with Bree and Logan and so did his dad, he handed over his parental rights. It's now summer and everything is perfect.
Until it's not.

~The Wheeler's House(4)~

It's Saturday and Bree forced the boys into a family game night. Every weekend Jake hangs out with Devon and Junior finds some party.

"That was funny. I never knew Logan was so competitive, especially at uno." Jake says laughing. "Yep. It's his guilty pleasure. Jake, can you grab me a glass of water." Bree asks and Jake nods.

Junior and Logan share a conver-sation about more games to play then,
