Chapter 2
Audrey and Jack were quietly making their way back towards the bedroom when they heard some yawning from the room across the hall. Jack knew it was Heller. It was time for him to standup to his former boss and say what is right. Suddenly, Jack took Audreys hand and lead her towards the kitchen. He sat her down in the chair just as Heller opened the door. Heller got nervous once he didnt see his daughter in bed. He was about to head towards the kitchen to phone but stopped when he saw Jack and Audrey just staring at him.

"Jack, what the hell are you doing here, GET OUT NOW" Heller screamed.

But just as Jack was about to speak, Audrey retaliated towards her father.

"No, Jack stays my decision not yours."

Heller was surprised that his daughter spoke before Jack could.

"Audie honey please, he's no good for you."

"No you no good for me. Jack good for me, you not."

"But Audrey" but Heller was stopped by his daughters voice.

"I want you away, Jack stay with me, you dont."

Heller so wanted to listen to his daughter but his anger got the better of him. He then went to get a butcher knife and started walking towards Jack. Jack knew that was stupid as he pulled out his gun before Heller could get to him. Audrey was now screaming at her father.

"NO NO GO AWAY JACK HELP MAKE GO AWAY!"

"Not one more step or a bullet is in your brain."

Heller took the chance to take the knife in the first place but knew he had lost once Jack pulled out his gun. He slowly backed up and put the knife back on the counter. At this time, Jack went over to comfort Audrey but still had his eye on Heller. The rage in Jacks eyes made Heller realise he had went too far. Not because he threatened Jack but because he made his daughter cry.

"Mr. Heller, you heard Audrey and I think its time to leave us alone."

"She is my daughter and she cant think straight because of you Jack you" Heller replied harshly.

Jack was about to respond but again was stopped by Audrey.

"No not Jacks fault leave him alone, go away."

Just then Jack gave Heller a look that said dont make it worse do what she wants. Heller easily understood and made his departure back towards his room. Once he closed the door, Jack looked straight into Audreys eyes. He saw the loving eyes of hers that he had missed so much.

"Thank you Jack."

Jack was pleased that not only she knew words, but she knew what to say at the right time. She was getting so much better so quickly. Jack knew she was going to make it through this and so was he with or without Heller.

"Your welcome sweetheart. I love you with all my heart and I always will okay."

"I love you too Jack and I never stopped."

Jack was confused, why did Audrey only speak in complete sentences when it had to do with their love. But really he didnt care and just wanted Audrey to get better.

"Come on honey, lets get you some sleep."

Audrey simply nodded and the two headed towards her room. He was now believing that Audrey and himself would finally have their chance at happiness and it would never be taken away from them again.
