It was an hour into the party and Jaylyn still hadn't shown up. Leon was a little worried. He knew Jaylyn was usually an on time person or if she was late was never that late. He called her cell phone but she didn't answer so he called the house and yet again no answer.

*Where the hell is she.* he thought looking out the window watching for her.

He didn't care about the people dancing and drinking around him. He just wanted to know if Jaylyn was ok. She always answered her phone, no matter what because it could be about Leon Jr. Leon watched for her for awhile and finally gave up. He couldn't take it anymore. It was 11 o'clock and she wasn't there. He had to go find her. Mia, Vince, Dom and Letty were even starting to worry. They all knew Jaylyn was looking forward to the party.

"Hey guys. . ." shouted Leon over the music. "I'm gonna go find Jaylyn. I just need to know she's ok."

"Let me go with you." said Dom and Vince.

"No ya'll stay in case she comes. I don't want ya'll to be away from your girls when the ball drops."

"No it's ok. I'm worried about her to." said Mia.

"I got it don't worry about it." said Leon walking toward the door. "I'll call when I find her."

"Ok. Good luck." said Mia wrapping her arms around Vince. " I hope she's alright."

"I do to." said Vince.

"Let's kill the party early. I'm not really in a party mood anymore. I'm really worried about Jay." said Dom putting his arm around Letty's shoulder. "It'll just be us to then."

"That's good." said Letty wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him sweetly.

Ever since Leon and Jaylyn broke up, Dom and Letty got closer because they realized what was at stake. They didn't want to lose each other. Dom stopped cheating on Letty and she chilled out on him and started trusting him more.

*Bang Bang*

Leon looked all over for Jaylyn and couldn't find her anywhere. He knew she wasn't with Josh because she said she didn't know what he was doing. He thought hard about where she would keep a spare key and looked around the apartment building for ideas.

She had one at their house and he knew she would have on there to. He looked at the lights and knew she wouldn't let it be that convincing. He got a smile on his face and ran down to the bottom floor; he loved being able to read her. He climbed under the stairs and searched for the key and found it almost immediately.

He ran back upstairs and unlocked the door. He walked around the apartment searching for her or anything that would tell him where she was. Finding her was becoming a mission for him.

"Jay." shouted Leon walking down the hallway. "Jaylyn."

"Leon."

Leon stopped dead in his tracks when he heard his name.

"Jaylyn." he said softly pushing her bedroom door open slowly. "Holy shit."

Jaylyn was laying on the floor in one of his old baggy shirts with a busted up lip and bruised face. She had bruises all over her arms. Leon ran to her and dropped to the ground next to her.

"Oh my god baby." said Leon looking over her body, scared to touch her. "What happened. Are you ok."

"I hurt so much." cried Jaylyn.

Leon picked her up and laid her on her bed.

"Do you want me to take you to the doctors." asked Leon knowing how much Jaylyn hated the doctors.

"No I'll be fine. I just need some sleep." said Jaylyn tiredly.

"Let me help you get cleaned up baby." said Leon pulling Jaylyn into a sitting position.

She couldn't stop groaning in pain.

"No, let me just lay here." cried Jaylyn.

Leon forced Jaylyn up to walk and helped her walk into the bathroom. She sat on the toilet and looked up at Leon. He got a towel and some antiseptic and started cleaning her cuts.

"Ow." said Jaylyn fighting with Leon to stop but he just held her still.

"You need to clean these if your not gonna go to the doctors. It'll get infected." explained Leon.

Jaylyn stayed still until he finished. She remember when she was the one cleaning his cuts when he got in a fight with a guy who was talking to her while they were broken up before they had Leon.

"Let me get you some clothes to change into." said Leon walking back into her room.

He came back with a pair of sweat pants and another one of his baggy shirts.

"At least now I know where all my clothes went after you left." joked Leon placing her clothes on the sink. "I'll let you change. I'll be in the living room."

Jaylyn just nodded and watched him leave. She changed as fast as possible without hurting herself. She didn't want to explain to Leon that Josh had done this to her. She was embarrassed that she wasn't the strong girl she was when she was with Leon.

Jaylyn walked into the living room and found Leon pacing the living room.

"I'm sorry I ruined your night." whispered Jaylyn making Leon stop pacing.

"You didn't. I wanted to spend it with you anyways."

Jaylyn cracked a small smile.

"Well you need your rest so I'll head back to the house." said Leon.

"Wait." said Jaylyn taking a hold of his arm. "Stay here with me. . . Please. We'll just watch the ball drop and go to sleep."

Leon just nodded his head and let her lead him back to her room.
