Nancy's pov

I woke up and it was nine o'clock I decided to get up and make Jessica some breakfast. We had a bit of a fight last night, I have noticed that she hasn't been herself lately, since she got back from the hospital after being shot, she is very jumpy and isn't really eating. I don't know what it is but I intend to find out I don't want to go to mum and dad about it unless I have to because they have a lot on with Oliver. But if it's serious I will tell them. I walked into the kitchen to find that Jessica was already up and sitting at the table with a cup of tea, ''morning'' she didn't answer I'm not sure whether she didn't hear me or she is ignoring me ''have you eaten'' again no answer she is definitely ignoring me. I went over and put the kettle on and sat down at the table as I sat down Jessica got up and left. There was no way I was going to be able to find out what is going on if she isn't talking to me I would have to have someone else talk to her but who. After thinking about for a few minutes I decided I would ask Lee and if she doesn't tell him I will have to tell mum and dad.

I woke up and it half eight I couldn't go back to sleep so I got out of bed. I went over to my press and grabbed out a white hollister t-shirt, a grey tracksuit and some socks. After I was changed I put my hair in a ponytail and went into the kitchen. I didn't feel like eating so I just made myself some tea. After I made my tea I sat down at the table and went on my phone. After about twenty minutes Nancy came in ''Morning'' I didn't answer I have decided that if I ignore her and avoid her I can keep her of my back for a bit. ''Have you eaten'' again I didn't answer this time I decided to leave. I walked into my room grabbed my shoes and coat and decided to go for a walk. I walked out of the pub and decided to go to the park it was still early so there was only a few people open up there stalls.

After Jessica walked out of the kitchen she went into her room and came out a few minutes later with her jacket and shoes on. She walked past the kitchen and down the stairs, Jessica never left the pub without telling anyone. I decided to go into my room and get changed. After I had changed I went into the kitchen and this time my dad was up and making breakfast. ''Morning'' I said as I walked into the kitchen ''morning nance, is your brother or sister up yet'' ''Jessica went out and Lee is still in bed'' ''where did she go'' ''I don't know'' ''what do you mean you don't know'' ''she just left without saying anything'' ''how long ago'' ''about ten minutes ago'' ''keep an eye on this I am going to look for her''. After Dean went to prison Jessica has been getting phone calls from withheld numbers and they never say anything, it's just heavy breathing. Mum and dad won't let Jessica out on her own in case something happens to her.

Jessica's pov

I walked to the park and sat on a bench. I don't know what to do any more I don't feel safe at home, I am always looking over my shoulder and I always feel anxious about everything. I was deep in taught when someone sat down beside me. I turned and saw my dad. "What are you doing out here on your own" "I just wanted a walk" "Jess what's going on with you, you haven't been yourself for weeks" I went to speak but I didn't know what to say. ''You haven't been eating,I know you haven't been sleeping, you have been really jumpy'' I wanted to make up some excuse so I didn't have to tell him the truth but I didn't know what to say, I am also really scared that if I don't tell someone now things will get worse. ''I'm sorry'' I don't even know why I am saying sorry but that is the only thing I could think of saying ''what are you sorry for'' ''I don't feel safe at home, I'm terrified that Dean is going to hurt us, I keep having nightmares when I do sleep, I'm so tired that I can't eat. When I am on my own I keep having panic attacks'' ''how long has this been going on for'' ''a few weeks'' ''why didn't you tell us'' ''I didn't want to worry you'' at this point I was in tears, (again). All I ever do is cry people must think I am really weak. ''It's our job to worry about you, I promise that things will get better, whenever you have a nightmare I want you to come into me and your mum and whenever you have a panic attack I want you to ring one of us even if we are in the next room just ring and hang up, just make sure you always have your phone on you ok'' ''ok'' ''me and your mother will help you get through this, I promise I am never going to let Dean hurt you'' ''thanks dad''. He put his arms around me and gave me a big hug, telling someone about how I was feeling made me feel a bit better. I know it's going to take time but hopefully things will eventually get better. ''How about me and you go get some breakfast and then we can go see your mum and Oliver'' ''ok''. We got up and walked to the cafe. My dad put his arm around my shoulder, I finally felt safe.
