" Lisa ? you awake ?" A familiar voice.

"Ah Lisa , Oh my , Lisa are you okay , How you feeling ?" 

"Jake?" I whisper with pain.

"I'm here babe, I'm here " Jake hushes me and strokes his finger against my forehead.

" Where am I? What happened?" I sit up.

" We're in the hospital babe, your dad shot you aiming for Jemmah... you saved her Lisa" he whispers.

" I what?" I reply back .

"Lisa? Oh baby, how can that man do that to you ?" my mother comes running and Carl behind her .

" I'm fine mom, where is Jemmah is she okay?"  I tell my mother who has tears running down her face.

" Sweetie she is fine , but your dad did hit her quite a lot so she has a broken arm and bruises." Carl assures me .

" Can I please see her ?" I tell Jake and he nodds.

" Thank you Jake " and with that he went out of the room.

I look down at my shoulder and that is where the bandage was , so that means that is probably where I got shot...

" Lisa?" I look up at the person who is standing by the door.

Jemmah.

" Jemmah!" I smile widely with joy.

She comes running towards me and she hugs me with such glee.

" I'm so happy you are okay" she sighs

" I'll give you guys some space" Mother smiles and Carl is the first one out the door with mother behind him.

" Jemmah, are you okay?" I look at her in her eyes.

" Yes , I'm fine , what about you ?she replies.

" I'm alive and breathing so , I am really good "

" You risked your life for me ... you took that bullet ... why?" 

" Because he was hurting you to hurt me ... and I would do anything for you , I promise no one will ever hurt you again."I hug her and she sighs in my embrace.

" Thank you!" she sighs again.

" Anytime love" 

" Hey" Jake walks in the room.

" Hi" I reply and Jemmah lies down next to me on the hospital  bed.

" Aren't you guys gonna go home ?" I ask Jake and Jemmah.

" I talked to your mom and dad and I'm staying here while they are home and that involves Jemmah" he looks at her and chuckles.

" Fine " Jemmah groans.

" Jake come here." I pat the open space next to me and Jake walks over to take the seat.

" How many days am I staying here?"  I look at Jake .

"2 days , I will tell the school what happened."?

" Thanks , I am really happy your here." I kiss his cheek softly.

" I am never leaving .He stares into my eyes. 

"Well... I'm gonna leave now and check myself out and leave... I'll see you tomorow morning Lisa" she tells me and gives me a final hug .

"Haha" Jake chuckles nervously breaking the silence.

I wonder if 'Dad' is in jail , or he is still hiding ... either way he won't stop. I'm not safe anywhere .

"Liz, how you feeling ?" Jake looks at me with a smile.

" I'm okay."

" I was so scared ...  I .. I didn't want to lose you." he gazes into my eyes.

"I was scared to , I still am , Jake he won't stop until I go back to him and be his punching bag again. I'm scared, he almost shot Jem, he is willing to murder someone, I didn't know he had it in him." I sigh resting my head on his shoulder.

"Everything will be okay, I promise he won't come near you again , otherwise me and Christian will beat the brains out of that guy " he chuckles.

"Thank you " 

" Anytime, cause I will be here for you all the time" he holds my hand and I stare at it .

This felt good , it felt special , it was different . 

" Sir will you be staying for the night " A nurse walks in and looks at Jake.

" Yes I will be " he looks at her and then at me .

" Very well, then I will register you " she nods and Jake shrugs his shoulders. 

"Thank you " I tell the lady with a smile and with that she walks off.

" I'm so tired, I think its the drip that they gave me " I yawn while laying down .

" Then rest I will be here" and he lays down next me , with my back against him and his arms around my waist.

"Sleep Babe" he whispers and with that I doze off to the darkness and feel warmth overlap me at the same time.

*THUD*

*THUD*

"Jake , SHHH"

*THUD*

" Jake?" 

I turn around to see Jake right next to me sleeping , the room was dark.

" You can run but you can't hide"

"Who is that? What do you want?" I sit up grabbing Jake's shirt slightly .

" I want you back ...princess... daddy needs to do some unfinished buisness" 

" Leave me alone " I look around the room , there is nothing there.

" You have something that I need, something that I want , something that will destroy you , and make you understand who the hell you are messing with "

" WHAT DO YOU WANT!?"

" HAHAHA!!!"

"STOP!" I yell

"NO" I scream

"PLEASE,NO!!" I cry

"AHHHHH" I scream again and again.
