I liked walking with jay holding his hand it made me feel at ease knowing he was here. "Why are you being so nice jay you don't even know me all you know is my names Gemma and there's a guy called Jake coming after me. What if I'm crazed or something?" I say looking up to jay. "Well you seem nice and no one should have to go through what you've been through I hate people that could do that to people like you and besides I think Nathan would kill me if we didn't keep coming" jay says laughing as Leigh takes Nathans hat. "Thank you though jay I don't think you understand how much it means that your here. Yeah Leighs been a great help but if Jake did something to her it'd destroy her she's not as strong as me and you know what I did so thank you." I say stopping and giving him a hug back. It felt right on so many levels but it felt like we were being watched which put me on edge. He couldn't be here could he?

Nathans pov

As soon as I asked Leigh about her cousin she seemed to go a little quite. "You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to." I say putting my arm around her giving her a little hug. "No it’s just well I never got to meet her, she was born with heart problems and she was really sick doctors said she'd live a few weeks if my auntie and uncle were lucky. But she didn't she managed to live 13 months and died on boxing day but all this happened before I was born and I'd give anything just to meet her once." Leigh said with a few tears escaping her eyes. "Well I think she'd like you." I say putting my arm around her again but leaving it. "Thanks Nathan and by the way I have now claimed this" Leigh said taking my hat. "Let's see if you can live without it." Leigh said laughing. I took it back off her but instead of putting it on my head I put it on hers. "You’re like a girl version of me, with my jumper and hat" I say laughing before Leigh stops walking. "What's wrong?" I ask remembering the exact reason we were here. "Nothing this is home" she replied smiling.

Gemma's pov

We walked into our house, the cold hit me like a tone of bricks, also the house wasn't as messy as I thought which was a big relief, Leigh and Nathan walked in behind me and jay, 'Gemma I will go put the heating on' Leigh smiled as she past me, 'erm do any of you wanna a drink' I said trying to ease the awkwardness that had crept into the room. 'I’m okay thanks' jay and Nathan said at the same time, 'well okay make your self at home, I'm just going to take a quick shower' I smiled, I heard Leigh laugh behind me, 'Gemma you never take a quick shower' Leigh giggled, I smiled and just walked upstairs to my room, I sat on my bed taking in a few deep breaths, I don't think anyone knows how much this is effecting me, but I couldn't let my self get into that dark depression stage again.

Leigh's POV

After about an hour Gemma still hadn't come down from the shower.</span></pre>

<pre style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">"Do you guys want anything? Cup of tea or owt?" I ask getting up.</span></pre>

<pre style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">"Yeah cup of tea would be lovely" Nathan says smiling.</span></pre>

<pre style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">"Jay?" “Erm yeah sure" he replied. I made the teas how the asked and carefully carried them into the room. "I'm just going to see if Gemma’s out the shower and ok. I'll be back in a minute. Make yourselves at home just don't break anything." I say walking up the stairs and knocking on Gemma’s door. "Gem its me open up" I say softly through the door. After about a minute the door swung open and I could see Gemma’s tear stained face. I walked over and gave her a hug. "Gemma what's wrong what haven't you told us?" I ask knowing there's something more.</span></pre>
