Jack's P. O. V.
"If my dad is there, just leave and you can go back another day," Wren said.
"No, he can't stop me. Just don't worry about it. Jonah will take you home and Daniel and I will go to the apartment and get your stuff," I told her.
"Just be careful," she said grabbing my hand. I sat on the edge if her hospital bed and leaned in to kiss her. She put her good hand on my cheek as she kissed me.
"Do I get a warning and a kiss too?" Daniel asked. Wren laughed as I lightly punched his shoulder.
"Be careful Dani," she said. We said our last goodbyes then left her with Jonah.
Dani and I walked through the parking lot and drove to Em's apartment. Wren gave me her keys since Em was at work. I was kind if nervous. Where would Wren's dad go besides the apartment? I know that if he's there he gonna try and stop Daniel and I.
We got to the apartment building and walked inside to the elevators.
"What are we gonna do if her dad is there?" Daniel asked. I thought for a moment.
"I'll talk to her dad, you just keep packing her stuff," I told him.
"Okay." We walked down the hall to her apartment. I stuck the key in and turned the knobbed. Luckily, it was empty inside.
"I'll get her clothes and stuff, you get all of her art and photography stuff," I told him. He nodded and grabbed a duffel bag that I pulled out of her closet.
"Wren?" Her dad walked into her room. "What the hell are you two doing here?"
"Wren is staying at our house for a few days," I told him, continuing to pack the few things I had left. Daniel went to her dresser to get her makeup and other things.
"Who told her that she could?"
"She's eighteen man. She can do what she wants."
"I don't want her staying with you two."
"Well she doesn't want you staying here."
"I'm her dad."
"You may have been able to forget the last and somehow forgive yourself, but Wren hasn't. She hasn't gotten over the fact that her own dad fucking raped her. Sorry if you don't think that that's a big deal, but it is so get over it. You made a mistake and now you get your consequences. You lost her."
"How dare you fucking speak to me that way."
"That's seriously all you care about? Do you not care about your daughters feelings? Wait, don't answer that. Of course you don't, if you did you wouldn't have raped her," I spat. I slung the bag over my shoulder and pushed past him, with Daniel behind me.
"You bring my daughter back to me or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?"
"I-I'll.. "
"Go back to prison asshole." I opened the door and walked out with Dani, slamming it behind us.
"Damn Jack, that was harsh."
"What are you saying?"
"Nothing. Maybe he actually heard you this time, though."
"Maybe. Even if he did, I'm not letting Wren near him again."
"I know." We took what we had packed and got to the car. I drove back to our house and took the bags upstairs to my room. Wren was sitting at my desk doing something on her laptop.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I asked setting the bags on the floor and walking towards her. I looked at her laptop and saw her editing software.
"Editing this picture." She pointed to a picture I had never seen before. It was of me. She must've taken it on the bus or something. I was laughing, looking at something to my left.
"When did you take this?" I asked.
"You were laughing at Zach on the bus. I took pictures of all of you guys together on the bus, but I love this one."
"I like it, too." I smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Was my dad there?" She asked. I stayed silent for a second. I went and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah, he was. But I took care of it, don't worry."
"Jack-"
"No, it's fine. I told you I took care of it. And I'll take care of it if he bothers you again."
"Thank you." She slowly stood up, holding her head. She walked over to me and sat in my lap, wrapping her legs around my waist.
"Does your head hurt?" I asked. She closed her eyes and nodded. I kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry babe."
"It's fine." She laced her fingers behind my neck and rested her forehead against mine. I held her close and slowly leaned back on the bed. She kissed my collarbone and snuggled into my chest. I rubbed her back and eventually we both fell asleep.
