I guess James didn't get the memo. When someone knocks and you don't answer that should be enough to walk away. Not for James, no, he opened the door to find me crying on the floor by my bed.

He shut the door, running to me. He hugged me rocking me back and forth gently, rubbing my back. "What's wrong Love? You're scaring me."

I can't tell him what just happened.

"It was them right? They did something to you. I saw Amanda and Kyle together coming from inside. Fuck! Taylor, what did they do!?" He brushed his hair back with one hand.

"It's her." I sobbed. "She's the threat."

"I'm calling Dave, he's outside-"

"No!"

"Yes! Taylor this isn't a game! You're carrying our child! My child and I'm not going to hide." He said taking out his phone.

"Hold on. Just hold me." I cried. "Make us feel safe for a minute."

He sighed putting his phone down. He wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my belly, through the loose shirt. He kissed my temple, rocking me back and forth gently.

"Nothing's going to happen." He whispered. "You'll be safe. I promise that I won't let anything happen to you two. I love you, both."

"I'm telling." I whispered.

"What?"

"Call Debbie. My dad. You're parents. Dave. I'm telling them everything." I clarified. My mind was set. James is right, it's not a game. This is our baby in trouble. I'm not going to New York and I'm not giving my baby away.

"Lets get you in the shower and I'll go call them."

"No, don't leave me alone. What if they come back? Austin is with them too."

"That son of a b-, I knew he was no good." His jaw clenched. "Lets get you to that shower, yeah?"

I nodded, letting him help me up. I had cried so much my eyes were tired and my eyelids felt heavy. I couldn't open my eyes much, and he knew it. He grabbed some clothes for me before guiding me to the bathroom. He had me sit on the counter while he turned on the water.

He turned back to face me, and slowly took off my shirt. "Wow, you can really see your belly now. It's beautiful. I'm not letting anything happened to it." He kissed my belly softly before standing and kissing me. "I'll be right here, while you take a shower to calm down okay?"

"Okay." I said slipping off the counter to undress and get in the shower. I had a warm shower while James called his mom to kick everyone out. He said it was an emergency and that I wanted to talk. That I was in trouble. 

I got out of the shower drying myself. I put on the clothes James brought for me. "James, you should've gotten me a bigger shirt."

"For now it's okay, you're telling them about it." He got the brush running it through my hair.

After he was done he walked me back to my room where everyone was at. Debbie and Jenna sat on my bed. Layla laid across the bean bag chairs with Molly. My dad and Mark stood by the bed. Dave sat on my desk chair.

"What's going on?" My father asked so serious it scared me. James gave my shoulder a squeeze.

"I..." I felt myself lose air. "It's Amanda. She's the one who sends threats. She's after me."
