Tears came to my eyes.

How do I do this?

I turned and looked at him. He shook his head. I could see the worry in his eyes. I turned the gun quickly and pulled the trigger. There was a slight pressure to my neck and my dad fell. I felt the knife fall on to the floor. I went to the bathroom and took my hand from my neck. A scratch. Nothing serious. Just then Gale barged in the door and I ran out. He grabbed my dad and took him out. I ran to Jace who was trying to stand up. I knelt down next to him and he set his hands on my cheeks. I pulled him to me.

"It's ok," I nodded, "I'm ok. You're alive. We're ok."

"You're fucking insane," he looked at me, "why did you do that?"

Tears came to his eyes.

"He would have killed you," I shook, "I couldnt let that happen."

"Lola you could have just died in front of me," he shook.

"But I didn't," I wiped his tears, "I'm right here in front of you. Right here. And I'm ok."

He kept his eyes locked on mine and I pressed my forehead to his. I moved his head to my shoulder and he wrapped his arms around my waist. He brought me to him and held me tightly. Gale walked in.

"Thank you," I mouthed.

He stuck his thumbs up and walked out. He shut the door quietly and I heard his car pull away.

"I love you," he sniffled, "I love you so much. Don't ever scare me like that again. Don't ever do that again."

"Shh," I whispered, "it's ok."

"I heard you," he looked at me, "when your dad had you. You told him you still loved me. Is that true?"

I looked at his eyes and nodded. He smiled and stood up. I stood up with him and took him to my room.

"Stay here," I said, "I'll be back."

I called Jeff and Mike. They came by and took my dad. I didn't want him around this house. I didn't want him here at all. I walked back upstairs to Jace. He looked at me.

"Thank you," he said, "for saving me."

I smiled, "my pleasure."

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed a towel. I wet it a little and walked back out to him.

"Here," I said, "this'll stop the bleeding. I'm going to change."

"I'm sorry," he sighed.

"Don't be," I shook, "it's ok."

I took off my shirt and put on a tank top. I walked back over to him and sat down. I laid down on my stomach and his hand touched my back. I smiled and turned my head. I looked at him and sat up. I moved towards him.

"Let's watch a movie," I smiled.

I stood up and grabbed my case of movies. We started going through them and decided to watch paranormal activity three. I put it in and sat down next to him.

"Oh," I said, "here."

He looked at me and I pressed my lips to his. He was surprised at first but then kissed me back. I pulled away and looked at him.

"For dodging the other one," I laughed.

He kissed my forehead and sat back. I curled up close to him and he set me in his lap. I leaned my head against his shoulder and watched the movie.
