Jules POV

Today is Friday, i should be happy i have the weekend off to be with my daughter, but i don't understand how am feeling. Its like something big is about to happen and I always feel this way when something bad wants to happen.

I felt this way when my parents died. I felt this way the day Tyler brought the pictures home...i also felt this way when...lets forget about those other times and focus on why am feeling negative today!!

I don't know the big bad thing that wants to happen, but i sure hope it doesn't involve an accident. Cant have one of those.

Tonia left yesterday cos something important came up at her work, and yes, she left with James. Maybe that's why am so down, but deep down i know its not that. This is a feeling of dread. And am not so sure i can take it anymore. Maybe i just need to rest, and all will be fine.

Taylor cried herself to bed when Tonia left,  I wept a little myself but life must go on.

She made a promise before leaving thou. And that's to come back immediately after whatever they called her for has been dealt with.

She didn't want to leave. With Tyler showing up here, and almost taking over. She knows i need her support in a time like this.

I was brought out of my musings when i felt my phone vibrate. Am at work, cant out my phone on ring. I double check to see if am free before checking the ID. The number is an unknown one, i have always been wary of strange numbers because i didn't want Tyler locating me then. But now that he is here, who could it be? It could be Tonia. We've not spoken since yesterday, and have tried calling her, but her number is off, same thing with James.  Don't understand whats going on. But i sure hope its me been paranoid.

"Hello" i said immediately i picked the call.

"Oh my God Jules! Am so happy you picked up! I was so nervous you weren't going to do. How are you? How have you been? And i hope Tyler is not there cos i don't want him to know am calling you. They asked me to wait till you get here, but i just couldn't. Have missed you so much!"

Oh God! Its Tyler's sister! The only girl in their family. Her voice have changed a bit but i recognize that energy anywhere.

"Who is this?"i asked to be very sure.

"Its me Caroline!"

"Caro!" Why will she be calling me? "How did you get my contact? Oh my God, how are you doing? Its been so long!"

"I will tell you everything once you come home, am doing good over here, i have missed you so much. How is...!"

"Hold up Caroline! Do you mean you are here at my house?" I asked her urgently...

"No, no Jules, i mean home in California!"

"Alright Caroline, i miss you too and all but i am not coming back there. I am here to stay no matter the pressure. You cant tell me you've forgotten the things your brother said i did,  right? You hate me too right?" I asked in a hopeful voice, i cant bear it if she hates me...

I heard her sigh loud and clear, its not like am trying to paint Tyler black, but its just the truth.

"Jules...even thou i was young when you left, i have always believed you are innocent. I never hated you, nobody did. We all knew you were been framed up, the Jules we know is loyal, and our brother was just so stupid to see the truth glaring right at him... I love you, you are the big sis i never had. When you left, i acted out, i did all sort of things just to make Tyler look for you. But...all those things are in the past now. Thank God he found you! I am so happy! Now we can be together and be sisters again! Don't worry, i know he didn't sign the divorce papers, you don't have to explain anything..."
