As i was getting ready for bed, in the room i shared with sid and juliet, sid came into the bathroom.
"Hey" he said. "Thanks for earlier and trying to help me even though you could have gotten hurt more than you already have".
"I guess i would risk anything for you" i shrugged. "Your welcome."
"You would?" He said. "Well thanks  that means a lot you were there when you were".
I smiled and walked out as he stays in the bathroom and juliet looks at me.
"What?" I questioned.
"You like him" she tell me.
"How did.." i paused.
"It's easy to tell and it's ok he is still single i haven't come with him because i got back with him" she continues. "Also i am glad you were there in time too".
"I tried my best and i guess i am happy to know i can be ok to like him now" i said. "Anyway what were you thinking! Taking that phone".
"I know.. i just didn't expect it to happen" she said. "I feel bad for what i did, pretty sure jordan won't be happy when we get back".
"I am sure he won't" i agreed. "Just make sure this never happens again".
"It won't i will be sure of it" she nods.
After more talking and sid joining us we eventually fell asleep. Mine didn't last so long after seeing what happened to sid today it shaken me up and my dream became a nightmare. I saw sid still being beaten up and no one was listening or helping and things got worse and jordan was there and things were more violent. I was shaken awake by sid.
"Hey.. hey wake up" he said. "It's ok"
I look at him and breath heavily making sure i was really awake and it was a dream. I hoped i would calm down but i couldn't. I have only had a few of these but i felt as if i couldn't breath, and tears running down my face.
"Lottie? Lottie it's ok" he say but his voice sounds distant. He holds on to my hand and i felt it, slowly but surely it bought me back to what was happening in now instead of what had happened before and what could have happened.
"I.. i think i am ok now" i nodded and say quietly.
"What was that you weren't speaking to me just crying and breathing heavily" he said worried.
"The stuff that happened with you being beat up" i shake. "I had a nightmare, and i am worried that it will get worse than it is, what if something bad happens to us?"
"This was what i was afraid of" he sighed. "I want to get you out this now i can't have things like this stressing you out".
"It happens, i am used to it" i tell him. "I have anxiety i think that's the cause them".
"Why didn't you say..all this won't help you" he looks at me. "All this will be pressure on you and you still only got here".
"I know but i can't stop, the things he will do once he knows who my family are, i need to do this" i tell him. "I will be fine it will be a one off thing".
"Let's hope so, i don't want all this to effect you" he nods. "I do worry about you".
"You do?" I question.
"Of course i do" he said softly. "What if i talk to him?"
"You would?" I questioned.

And he did, only it went as anyone expected.
"You owe me so no backing out, any way i heard your cousin is scott right i can make sure things are really diffcult for you" jordan said.
"Jord come on she.." sid trails off.
"No it's my final answer stop trying to get around me sid it doesnt work anymore now you both stick to the plan" he snapped and walked away.
"So much for him going easy i am sorry" he sighs.
"It's ok" i shrugged. "I can do this it won't get too much".
He nodded and walked with me to school. We met juliet on the yard and she smiles.
"Hey sid, lottie" she said.
"Hi just had to run into jordan" sid answered her.
"What for now?" She demanded. "You know after last time we tried to compromise with him."
"I know i just thought he wouldn't understand" he said.
"No, you know he wouldn't, either way lottie is one of us there is nothing we can do, and lottie you can't back out when ever anymore" she sighed.
"I know it was only a favour now i am trapped in" i tell her.
"All i can say is get used to it" she said. "Anyway we need to go bell just rang, i am sure we will have to get more sometime".
She goes to her class when she gets to it and says bye to us. I am left with sid just for a few more minutes.
"She is sounding very jordan by the second" he pulls a face. "See you later"
"Yeah you too" i smiled.
He is mostly right she is sounding like him but i know i need to toughen up more. I can do this i know it.
