I was currently sat on the couch hands bandaged up thanks to Jake , getting an earful from Mark who hasn't let me speak once yet to explain myself.

"Your first day back and what you've already missed a class and got into a fight! You are supposed to be trying Bailey! I told you to stay out of trouble and what do you do get into a fist fight with a boy at school! What do you have to say for yourself!" He bellowed causing me to flinch slightly.

"Can I explai-" he cut me off sharply.

"Your supposed to apologise I mean for god sake Bailey we brought you far away from home so you could get away from this life but you just cause trouble anyway how on earth do you think your are going to improve and get any better if you do shit like this! I mean what the hell is this for!" He presses the remote and a popular video comes up of me hitting Jack. Him calling me a bitch trying to hit me and me going full attack mode on him.

Funny thing was it didn't have what he did to Jenna so there was no context at all. "I'm extremely disappointed with you I'd hope you'd of done better! By staying out of trouble Bailey!" He said lowly.

Emily was looking at me shaking her head and she replayed the video. Putting her head in her hands.

I looked down and swallowed. "He hit her." I looked up to Mark frowning. "What?" He said.

I swallowed again.

"He was hurting Jenna grabbed her by the hair and slapped her, I've witnessed similar things and jumped in before he could do anything else. I was only thinking if he put his attention and anger on me she'd be safe. I - I can handle this stuff..... I know how to defend myself.... I- I've gone through it...." I spoke quietly tears welling in my eyes.

Emily looked at me sadly and walked over giving me a hug. Mark sat down on the table in front of me. "I'm sorry Bailey, the jack ass may of deserved it but leave it to the boys we can't afford you getting into trouble again... you took it too far." He said carefully.

I nodded. "I know but I did it and I saw red and I- I—" I groaned in frustration.

"It felt good... and I hate that it did!" I got out throwing my arms in the air. He gave me a knowing look.

"Just keep your head down tomorrow ok? and no skipping class ok dinners ready in an hour." He got up and left. Emily rubbed my back. "It's ok sweetie, we'll get through this. You have a anger management and therapy session tomorrow after school." She got up and walked away.

I walked up stairs into Ashley's room where Ashley and Sam were cuddling and Jake sat at the desk. Their heads snapped up to me Ashley hugged me. "Everything ok?" I nodded.

"You sure Because I'm certain I felt the house shake Mr. Anderson is one scary man." Jake spoke up joining in the hug Sam joining as well.

"Yeah I'm fine he calmed down when he finally let me explain. Told me to stay out of it next time and let you guys handle it." They all nodded pulling away from the hug.

"So that means I hold you back whilst Sam beats the shit out of them." Jake joked making us laugh slightly.

"Exactly" I muttered jumping on the bed.

"Think you'll be aloud to go to a party on Saturday?" Jake asked. I looked at Ashley and she shrugged.

"They might if your good this week." I nodded.
"Guess I'll force myself to be on best behaviour they'll be no like you know at the party right?" They looked at me for a second.

"No. No drugs just alcohol I'm throwing it so I'll be making sure there isn't any." Sam spoke up I nodded.

Good I can't be tempted into old ways. I don't know if I'm strong enough I mean I gave into a cigarette so easily. Ashley gave me a sad knowing look.
