Getting that call made me think, what if he tries hurting the people i have become to love? But i didn't want to worry anymore, Justin will protect me. So i went the rest of the day not bringing it up to anyone. We spent the day watching movies and watching the kids. No school, also Zack complained about how he hurt because of Andrew and his friends. 

"Shut up Zack, take it like a man," Rylee says throwing popcorn at him. Layla laughs at the two as she sits next to me, Justin was on the floor sitting by me as well. 

"Not all of us are ex fighters Rylee," Zack says throwing some skittles back at him. Justin gasps.

"Man, not the skittles," He says picking them up and eating them as Layla and i burst out laughing. 

"No man you are just a whimp," Rylee says throwing more popcorn at him. Zack gets up and grabs a handful of skittles. Layla and i look at each other with fear, we all know that is about to go down. 

"Every man for themselves," Layla shouts as we take off running in different directions. Layla runs to the basement and i follow. 

"Girls VS Boys!" Justin shouts with a laugh as we hear him and the other boys walking around looking for us. Layla behind the couch while i run to the spare room and hide under the bed. 

"You can't hide forever," Rylee says walking past the room. I cover my mouth to stop from laughing as he doesn't even think to look in here. I hear someone walking up stairs and listen for anything else. Suddenly Layla screams and i hear laughing. 

"Zack put me down.... AHHHH Jessica! Help!!!!" she screams while laughing. I hide a laugh and stay where i am, what part of every one for themselves didn't she get. I can hear her screaming all the way upstairs until it was silent down here. I don't dare come out through because knowing them they have a plan. I see Rylee walk past again and i hold my breath.

"Got you!" Justin says pulling me out from behind by my feet. I scream and get up fast and run. He laughs as he chases me. I run down the hall and almost slam into Rylee. He smirks and tries grabbing me but i dash up the stairs. I run past Zack and Layla who, is being tickled on the floor. I laugh as i run around the corner and run into Justin. He wraps his arms around me laughing.

"How did you get up here?" i say out of breath.

"There's two stair cases you know," he teases pulling me into the living room again. I laugh as we all sit and catch our breaths. Man, i haven't laughed that much in years. I look at see Justin smiling at me.

"What?" i asked leaning back into him.

"Nothing, you're smile is just beautiful," he whispers kissing my head.  I smile and hit his chest and jump on the couch.

"Now what?" i asked out of breath still. Brooke starts crying just them, guess out screaming woke her up.

"Looks like it is dinner time," Layla says. I groan.

"You and your food, you are gonna get fat," Rylee says to his sister. Layla gives him the death glare and Zack and Justin back up.

"Oh man, you don't say that to a girl," Zack warns as Layla stands up and grabs a can of pop. Rylee's eyes go wide.

"You wouldn't dare," he says backing up. Layla smiles and they both take off running chasing each other around like four year olds. I shake my head and go upstairs to Jazzy's room where Brooke is sleeping as well while we stay here and pick her up. She smiles and hugs me. Jazzy follows me out and we get Jaxon too and go down where Justin is already got food out. I smile and place them all and they eat.

Later that night i was laying in bed, Justin was asleep next to me with his arm around my waist. I smiled, when he sleeps next to me i don't get my nightmares anymore, it's like i have a sheild around me when he is here, like nothing can hurt me. I looked back at the ceiling and think about the call. My uncle has been in town this whole time, why hasn't he made any attempted until now to get to me? I don't understand why he doesn't leave, he knows he is wanted by the police now for child abuse. I just think there is something bigger going on, like something we don't know about. It's just another thing to add to my worry list i guess, my Uncle, Maddie, School, Allison, and Andrew now. Why does life have to keep throwing me curve balls, i really don't need this now.

I want to have a normal life, what ever that is. I want to be able to wake up with my family, go to school and have friends and not have people hating me, and to be a perfect girlfriend. But i can't be any of those things. I want Justin to be able to have a perfect girlfriend, but i don't think i can ever be that, but i can try, right? I don't know, maybe i am over thinking this and all, maybe i just need to go with the flow, things will end up playing out, they always do.

The next morning i wake up and Justin is still asleep, i remove his are carefully from my waist and get up. I stretch and walk downstairs where Zack is eating some cereal.

"You stayed last night?" I asked as i got a glass of water. He nods and looks up.

"Yeah, i was having some problems at home, so i usually crash here," he says leaning back in his chair. Hmm, i didn't know he had problems at home.

"I'm sorry..... I shouldn't be nosy," i whisper taking a drink.  He chuckles and leans so his elbows are on the counter.

"It's alright, i mean we know a lot about you it is only fair you know about me....My mom got remarried, and i don't know. Something about the guy makes me mad, like we don't get along and i can't stand him. Yesterday he yelled at my mom and yelled back at him for it, we got in a argument and i walked out.... I don't want him there, but he makes my mom happy so i leave it be," he says with a sigh. I look at him in shock, who knew someone had problems close to mine.

"He doesn't...hit you does he?" i asked in barely a whisper.

"One time...We got in a big fight about him drinking and crap, it ended with him tackling me to the ground and we got in a fist fight, but my mom broke it up....I just don't know what she see's in him, he is a prick," he says running a hand through his hair.

"Well, sometimes we can't change things, we just have to fight through them," i say making him smile. "What?" i say taking another drink.

"Nothing...Just you give advise so well, yet you struggle the most," he says with a smile. I shrug and take a seat next to him.

"I guess because i know what pain is, i understand people. I don't want someone to go through what i went through," i says setting my glass down.

"well, for what it's worth, you are a great friend Jess," he says making me smile. We sit and talk for awhile until Justin comes down with a look of pain on his face. I get up and go over to him.

"Justin what's wrong?" i asked worried, he didn't look hurt so what was it?

"You're mom," He says looking at me with pain. My mom? what about her?
