I can hardly bear the scene in front of me... Chandler's in the fetal position on the floor crying his eyes out, I'm right beside him just rubbing his back, whispering in his ear trying to calm him down. Finally he stops crying, but he's passed out cold. I can't wake him up to get him out to the car, knowing he's a heavy sleeper I somehow pick him up and carry him out to the car. When Norman and I get him sprawled out in the back seat we're on are way home. Norman agreed I'd be a good idea I do that to keep Mingus from trying anything on me again. Plus he tolled me that he was gonna talk to Mingus about what happened, in front of me to embarrass him. Chandler's head was in my lap, his body in the middle seat, and his feet in Mingus' lap." Mingus, we need to talk..." I smirk, he looks horrified," But there's a GIRL in the car!" Normans eyes widen," Not that talk!" Mingus' face softens," Oh... good." Norman looks in the rearview mirror," It's about what you did earlier... why'd you do it?" He shrugs," It's fun to mess with girls, they always over react, plus I wanted a girlfriend." I glare at him," And what about the fact she kept denying you and tolled you she had a boyfriend?" He shrugs," I don't care, she can cheat." " And if she doesn't want to cheat? What if she doesn't like you?" He scoffs," Everybody likes me! I know she'll come crawling to me one day once she dumps his sorry *ss." I give Norman a look it said," Can I hurt him?" I didn't say it out loud but he got the message, he gave me permission to hurt his son... what father does that? Oh well," YOU'VE GOT THIS COMING FOR YOU, MINGUS!" Norman warns him, I unbuckle, by the way we just pulled into Norman's drive way because there's a cast slumber party tonight, carefully climb out of the car, go to Mingus' side, pull him out by his arm, drag him into the house, pull him into the living room, and have at it. I start punching him, and kicking him. By the time I'm done he's got a few bruises, but lucky him I didn't bite or scratch him." You deserved it and you know it, I don't like you, I never have liked you, and I will never like you! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOKED LIKE TILL I MET YOU!!!!!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL I WILL NEVER AND HAVE NEVER LIKED YOU, NOR WILL I EVER LOVE YOU OR HAVE I EVER LOVED YOU!!!! I HATE YOU, MINGUS REEDUS!!!!" He's backed up in the corner of the room cowering in fear, good, I hope he's scared of me. I turn around and walk into the kitchen, I remember that I never helped get Chandler out of the car. I walk out and see that Norman is trying to pull him out and keep the door open at the same time. I hold the door and he pulls him out, he then tries to carry the bags and him, I reach out and somehow get ahold of Chandler and into the house and in our room. I lay him down and get a cold rag, I put it on his forehead and lay down next to him. I hope he wakes up soon. I know he's just sleeping from exhaustion, but I can't help but worry. I know he's gonna be thirsty when he wakes up so I get him a bottle of water. When I get back he starts to stir, I see his eyes slightly open. I walk over and kneel beside him," Hey, baby, you okay?" He groans," W-water..." he croaked, I undo the lid on the bottle, help him sit up, and let him drink it. He finishes off the bottle and looks a lot better," I'm okay now..." he says, he doesn't seem breathless now." Good, I love you, Chan, I'd hate to know that you weren't okay." I stand up, walk around to the other side of the bed, climb in next to him, and hold him close." Baby, I hope you know that if you ever need me that I'll always be there for you, even in your worst. I love you." I tell him, he just snuggles deeper into my arms, he says something but I barely catch it," I'm at my worst, thank you for helping me, I love you too." I smile, I know I'm young, but like that song goes,' I might be young, but I'm old enough.' I used to love that song, in case your wondering it's I'm not to young to feel this way. I think, but I know it's from Shake it up. I'm pulled from my thoughts when I'm rolled onto my back, I see Chandler rolled us over," May I help you?" I ask, he nods. He then puts his head in my lap and puts my hand on his hair," Play with my hair?" He asks all shy like, I smile at him." Sure." He smiles back at me, I start playing playing in his hair. I make a mistake though, I accidentally get lost looking into his eyes. I'm trapped in his turquoise eyes, I stop playing with his hair, gently grasp his cheeks, lean in and kiss him. It's starts as tingles in my lips, but soon become bombs throughout my whole body. I pull away as the electricity becomes to much," I love you..." I manage to say," And I love you..." I hear Chandler say. We smile, I go back to playing with his hair when he asks me a question," When are you going back to your home town for the video?" I think a minute," A week from today, I won't be gone any longer than a month, I promise." He nods. I know we'll miss each other. The slumber party isn't very eventful, just people asking about why Mingus is covered in bruises and Chandler and I cuddling. Everybody else just seemed to talk, I wish I knew why he's scared of me.

Chandler's POV

I wish I wasn't scared, I love her yet I'm scared of her. How does that even work? I'm scared of Trista, yet I still love her? WAIT! Trista?! I know I love her, but why am I scared if her? I know she's capable of tackling Norman, she tolled us she knows how to fight, how to use a gun, and I know she knows her way around a knife, and I know what she did to Mingus, but I know she's also gentle and caring. She's so gentle, I've seen her almost cry from accidentally hurting me. I love her so much, but I can't help but to be scared when she raises her hands to touch my face or hug me or something. I always flinch away, and every time I do I can see the hurt in her eyes as she tries to assure me that she won't hurt me. I break her heart every time she tries to touch me, and every time I break her heart I end up breaking mine even more. I hope she'll bare with me, I'm trying to get over it. I've noticed her emotions and eye colors: happy- blue, sad-blue grey, mad-grey almost black, pissed-red, depressed- light grey, and excited- bright blue. I love when there bright blue, when she's happy I'm happy, but when Mingus was messing with her I wanted to help, I just couldn't, I was to scared to get hurt," Baby, wake up, it's time to get up." I groaned, I didn't want to. I pushed who ever it was away," Chan, please, baby, you need to get up." I heard shuffling in the hallway, then a whimper," Chandler, please, I think they're here..." it was Trista, she's obviously scared." Who's here?" I heads her sniff," Luke and Hana..." I sprang up at that, I grabbed her arm, grabbed the guns from the side table's drawer, handed one to Tia, and ran to the secret hide away in the closet. There was food, water, a bathroom, and a Queen sized bed, we'd be safe here, plus it's sound proof. I put the guns on the bed and looked at her," Are you sure we're safe here?" She asked in a whisper," No need to whisper, it's sound proof in here." I tolled her, I reach over and pull her close. This time I wasn't in her arms, she's in mine. I love her, I'm not as scared now." Baby girl, I love you, I'm sorry for always flinching away when you try and hug me or something." I feel her wrap her arms around me and burry her face in my chest," It's okay, Chan, I love you. I understand why you flinch away, I'm trying to let you heal from it. It's hard on both of us, but we'll get through it." Luke was sent to jail, but Hana wasn't, maybe there working together." Do you have your phone with you?" She nods her head," Yeah." She hands it to me and goes to sit on the bed. I call the police, and thirty minutes later Hana and Luke are being pushed into a police car screaming that there innocent. I holed Tia close to me and see that Mingus and Norman are standing in the door way looking confused in nothing but there under wear... oh God." Tia, don't look." I tell her as I cover her eyes and guide her back to our room." Put some clothes on." I tell them and they scurry back to there rooms. When we get to our room I let go," What was that about?" She asks," Let me put it this way, the people who live here are putting the rest of tree clothes on as we speak." She cringes," Thanks for covering my eyes." She awkwardly goes to get her clothes and heads to the bathroom. I chuckle and get my normal clothes on to, I put on a pail orange button up, blue jeans, and black sneakers. I do my hair like I usually do.

Tia's POV

I get my clothes on and try as block out why Chan tolled me. I'm putting on a pair of baby blue miss me jeans, a blue tank top with a white and blue netted half shirt over it, and a pair of nikes the same color as my jeans. I brush my hair out and do a side braid. I don't put on make up, but I do brush my teeth and go back to our room." Hey, baby, you wanna go to the movies?" Chan asks me," We've got a meet and greet at twelve remember?" I tell him," Yeah, but we've got four hours to spare." My eyes widen," It's only eight AM?!" I ask, I usually don't get up till Twelve as it is," Yeah?" He answers weakly," Baby, I'm not mad, just shocked." I assure him." let's head out." I tell him, we get Norman to ride with us, he wants to watch his own movie, while we watch Annabelle. I jump at all the scary parts, while Chandler is practically in my lap. I understand why, with everything that's happened I'm surprised I'm not doing the same. After we finish, well Chandler accidentally spills it, I just let him sit on me. After the credits hit he gets up, but if I didn't have his hand he would have ran out if there. I make him help me get the popcorn off the floor and throw it away. A few fans notice us, but don't bring any attention to us. We take pictures like old friends and give them out autographs. We leave in a strange manner, I'm walking out with the big baby I call my boyfriend on my back. We get a few strange looks, but we don't get approached by anybody though.
