Jermaine's POV
It's been a week since Ocean and Michael came home early from their visit with DJ. They still haven't told me why and I'm starting to get worried about Ocean's behaviour. One moment she happy as anything and the next she's agitated, I've spoken to Michael about it but he keeps brushing it off saying she's just stressed.
I'm just finishing getting ready and the house phone rings.
"Hi i'm looking Ocean Jackson"
"She's not here right now can I take a message?"
"Could you please ask her to call Doctor Warner. It's about her missed appointment this morning"
"Appointment for what?"
"I'm sorry sir but it's against patient, doctor confidentiality to discuss that. could you please ask her to call me back when she gets a chance?"
Shortly after I hang up Ocean and Michael come back from grocery shopping. "Hey a doctor Warner called saying something about a missed appointment?"
"I'll call him later and reschedule " Michael shrugs. I'm about to speak when Ocean rushes upstairs and I hear her being sick. "What's wrong with her?"
"She just has an upset stomach. I think it was that take out we had last night. I haven't felt to good myself either" Michael says carrying the groceries into the kitchen and I follow behind him. "So why didn't she go to the appoint?" I frown confused. "Because it's probably just food poisoning she's fine she just needs to get it out of her system that's all" he shrugs. "Is everything ok with you two? You still haven't told me why you both come home so early last Saturday, what happened?"
"I did tell you. DJ wasn't feeling good and he just needed some rest" he tries to brush it off again, but I can see he's hiding something "so why was Ocean so agitated when she got back?" I ask not letting it go this time. "She was just tired! what's with all the questions?" He frowns "because there's something your not telling me and somethings clearly wrong with Ocean, she's been acting strange for weeks now. What's going on!?"
"She's just stressed that's all! How many times do I have to say it!?" He snaps rolling his eyes then walks out with a glass of water.

Michael's POV"Are you feeling ok, baby?" I ask Ocean going into the bathroom with a glass of water. "Mhm" she smiles through pursed lips taking the water from me. "Do you need me stay home? because I can always..."
"You can't call in sick again" she cuts me off. "I'm fine. I'm just gonna take a bath and try and get some rest"
"Well call me if you need anything ok? And I'll come straight home"
"Baby, I'll be fine. Plus Jermaine's here so you have nothing to worry about" she smiles kissing my temple. "Now get out while I take a bath" she giggle motioning me out of the bathroom.

Jermaine's POV
About and hour after Michael leaves for work, Ocean comes downstairs in sweat pants and one of Michael's hoodies (which is all she seems to wear these days) to get something to eat. "You feeling better now?" I smile going into the kitchen to join her. "Yeah, much better after my bath" she smiles "I'm making something to eat do you want some?"
After we've finished eating Ocean starts clearing the table. As stretches her arm to get one of the glasses her sleeve moves up slightly and I notice a slight bruise on her wrist. "What happened?"
"I bumped into the breakfast bar this morning" she shrugs covering it back up quickly and turns putting the dishes into the dishwasher. "So what happened on Saturday?" I ask casually and she shrugs "we already told you" she mumbles and starts checking the windows are locked and puts the stopper in the sink and I look at her confused. "Ocean, is everything ok?"
