Maddison pulled away from the kiss looking up at him, "Jake I can't I'm so sorry!" She turned and would have run but the crutchs and cast hindered the fast escape she need! Jake was stunned enough to let her walk away by the time he came to his sense's she had made it down and to her car.

Maddison pulled out of the parking space thankful the doctor had cleared her to drive again it wasn't easy with her cast but it wasn't the foot she needed to drive with anyways. She looked in her rearview mirror to see Jake standing there and it broke her heart but she pushed down on the gas getting home in record time. When she made it inside her dad and brother were watching some speical on Larry Bird, she smirked thinking at least it wasn't another Michael Jorden speical! Before she could make it to her room without them noticing her father looked up seeing her there," Princess your home!"

Maddison smiled at her father," Hi daddy!"

Nate looked at her noticing that she had been crying, " hey Madds you said you had that study guide I could use for the history test right?"

Maddison and their father looked at him confused because when had Nate ever chossen school work over anything to do with sports?

Maddison slowly nodded," yeah I do let me go get it for you!"

Nate smiled at his dad before following her, "okay now that dad is not within hearing distance wanna tell me who made you cry so I can go kick their ass!?" He had been feeling hopeless since the family found out that Maddison had cancer and he'd been angry with no real outlit!

Maddison stopped in her tracks turning to look at him," okay tough guy go ahead beat me up!"

Nate frowned, "Madds really tell me I'll go put them in their place!"

Maddison turned and kept walking reaching her room but before she could slam the door Nate pushed his way in," Go away Nate!"

Nate smirked, "when have I ever listened now tell me what's going on!"

Maddison sighed before sitting on her bed ," Jake knows what's going on and he told me he loves me and I left I had to it wouldn't be fair to him to!"

Nate sighed sitting next to her, " Madds why wouln't it be fair to him?"

She looked down,"because I'm sick and if it gets bad why would I want him there to watch it'd break him and no matter how bad it got he wouldn't leave he's to nice to!"

Nate put his arm around her," don't you think if he actually did love you it'd be harder to just stay away?"

Maddison looked up at her brother not seeing the guy everyone else did , even if he could be a jerk to her he was always there for her and he needed her like she needed him. "Nate I hate when your right!"

Nate chuckled with his regular smirk,"now go and tell him you love him but remember if he so much as kisses you I'll break his neck!"

Maddison laughed throwing her arms around then she got up as she made to open the front door she looked up to see Jake standing there! Before he could say anything she kissed him. When she pulled back she smiled at the shocked face, "I love you to!"

A:N= I am so sorry for making you all wait! I hope this starts to make up for it! R&R!

XOXO

you know you love me
