Ellie POV

The cold wind goes straight through my thin jacket. All I've got now is what I'm wearing, my phone and the necklace my real mother gave me.

I guess getting pregnant was the last straw for my father and the step monster, it's not as if I was disruptive or anything but the step monster hates me and my father loves her.

I have nowhere to go now, unless... No. My thumb hovers over his name... Jake Brockman. I cave and call him, I don't expect him to pick up thought. It's 2am, Sunday night.

"El?" I hear his sleepy voice through the speaker on my phone. "Are you there?"

"Uh, yeah. Sorry for calling so late." I stutter, shivering from the cold. "My dad kicked me out."

"Really?" Jake sounds shocked and alert now. "Where are you?"

"Somewhere near school... I think." I mumble, looking at my eerily dark surroundings.

"I'll come and find you." Jake announces, I can hear him moving around.

"No. Don't do that." I hastily reply. He doesn't need to come and find me. It's my fault I got kicked out.

"Well come stay at mine then." Jake replies. "If you aren't here in 10 minutes I'm coming to find you."

"Fine." I grumble.

"Good." Jake replies. I hang up and begin to slowly run/jog to the Brockman's household.

It takes me 7 minutes to get there and I lightly knock on the white door so as not to wake anyone else up.

About 10 seconds pass before a topless Jake appears, navy track suit bottoms hanging low on his hips. I blush at the sight and he pulls me out of the cold.

"Bloody hell El, you're freezing." Jake whispers. I take off my converse and follow Jake up the stairs. When we reach his room I shrug off my jacket and hang it on the back of his door.

When I turn around Jake's sitting on his bed staring at me.

"What?" I ask, crossing my arms and looking at the floor.

"Are you going to tell me why your Dad kicked you out?" Jake asks, patting the bed next to him.

"Um, well. No I wasn't really planning on it." I sigh, crossing my legs and yawning.

"Tell me tomorrow." Jake yawns, standing up and rummaging through his drawers. A minute later he chucks an All Time Low top at me.

I hold it up and raise my eyebrows at the brown-haired boy.

"You can either wear that to bed or sleep in your jeans, which doesn't seem very comfortable to me." Jake smirks.

I sigh dramatically as he sits back down on the bed. I'm about to take my top off when I remember he's staring at me.

"Close your eyes." I hiss at him.

"El, I've seen you naked before. This isn't much different." Jake laughs. I feel my cheeks heat up.

"Close. Your. Eyes." I growl.

"Okay, okay." Jake surrenders, closing his blue eyes. Quickly, I strip off my top and jeans before pulling on the top which end just below my but.

Heaven forbid if I was any taller...

"Where am I sleeping?" I ask Jake, whilst looking around the room for a couch or cushion or something.

"In my bed." Jake casually replies.

"Where are you sleeping?" I ask, confused.

"In my bed." Jake replies, moving over so there's room for me as well.

"But-" I start to protest.

"if you don't hurry up I'll steal all the covers." Jake teases. I groan before climbing into his bed.

Jake wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me against him.

"W-What are you doing?" I whisper, I can feel his warm breath on my neck.

"If you haven't noticed El, my bed is not designed for two people to sleep in and I don't want you falling off." Jake chuckles lightly and I feel his chest rumble against my back.


Ellie POV

"Jake, are you up?" A female voice shouts as the door swings open and Sue Brockman walks in. "Jake remember that-"

Jake and I suddenly sit up and try not to look guilty or anything. The blonde haired woman is just staring at us, her mouth slightly open and her eyes flitting back and forth between us.

"Mum, I can explain." Jake says quickly.

"You better explain." Sue says exasperatedly.

"Can we get changed?" Jake sheepishly asks. Sue just glares at him so I take that as a know.

"Did you two have sex?" Sue asks, walking further into the room and shutting the door behind her.

"Yes." Jake says at the same time as I say "No."

I glare over at Jake. "Well, we didn't last night but we have before..." Jake trails off as his mum continues to glare at him.

"I'm so sorry Mrs Brockman." I say. "I called Jake last night because my father kicked me out and I had nowhere else to go. Don't be angry at him. I'll leave."

"Wait, your Dad kicked you out?" Mrs Brockman asks, her eyes widening. "Why?"

"That's what she won't tell me." Jake groans.

"Well um, I'm going to leave you two to get changed. Then come downstairs." Mrs Brockman tells us before leaving again.

"What the hell Jake!" I hiss, turning towards him.

"What?" He asks confusedly.

"Why did you tell your Mum we had sex?" I whisper the last word.

"Because... Um, I'm not really sure. It just slipped out." Jake admits sheepishly. I sigh, taking off the top Jake gave me and putting back on my clothes from the day before.

Jake throws on his uniform and I follow him out of the room.

"Who are you?" Karen, Jake's curly-haired little sister, asks me when we enter the kitchen.

"I'm Ellie." I smile.

"Are you Jake's girlfriend?" She asks.

"Yes, she is." Jake replies for me. I send him a what the hell look but he shrugs it off and whispers "It's easier if you answer yes, fewer questions from the little twit."

"Morning." Mr Brockman, Pete, says. He grabs some coffee and sits at the table opposite me. He glances at me for a seconds before going back to reading his paper then a few seconds later his head snaps back up to look at me.

"Have I gained another daughter overnight?" Pete asks.

"This is Jake's girlfriend, Ellie." Karen states, sitting next to me. "I like her."

"Karen, Ben can you go watch some Tv or something for a few minutes." Sue asks, hurrying into the kitchen.

"Fine." Karen sighs dramatically before following Ben into the lounge to watch Tv.

"So?" Sue asks, sitting down next to Pete as Jake sits beside me.

"Well, El's parents kicked her out and she called me last night and I said she could stay here but I didn't want to wake you up or anything." Jake rushes out.

"I know that Jake, but why did your parents kick you out Ellie?" Sue asks me. All three pairs of eyes stare at me and I let my wavy brown hair fall into my face.

"Um because... I'm pregnant."
