Leon laid next to Jaylyn and watched her sleep. He just wanted to watch her. He hadn't slept next to her in a long time. Jaylyn was clung to him. She was laying on her side facing away from him and holding his arm over her side and between her arms. Leon was pressed against her back. He was leaning on his elbow just listening to her breath and watching her. He knew once she woke up she would move away from him.

"Mm." moaned Jaylyn turning to face Leon and cuddle against his chest.

"How you feelin." whispered Leon pushing her hair out of her face.

"I'm in a little pain. . . I'm sorry I ruined your night. I'm sure you had a lot of females trying to be your New Years Eve girl." said Jaylyn.

"You're the only one I wanted to be with on New Years Eve and I got what I wanted, except for the kiss at midnight but hey. . . " said Leon.

Jaylyn sat up and didn't even give Leon a chance to say anything else. She leaned over him and kissed him sweetly.

"Thank you." said Jaylyn getting off the bed and pulling her sports bag out from under the bed.

"What are you doin." asked Leon sitting up.

"Packing some of my stuff. We're goin to Vegas today remember." said Jaylyn going to her closet and pulling out some clothes.

Leon looked at some of the clothes she was pulling out and was about to put them back. He didn't like the clothes she was getting but he figured she was going to be around him all weekend so it would be fine. This would be his chance to get her back.

"You wanna just ride with me to Mia's." asked Leon.

"I don't know if I want to leave my car here. I'm gonna leave it at my parents house. I'm sure Josh would love to tear up my car especially now." said Jaylyn not even realizing she was letting Leon know Josh was who did that to her.

"Josh did this to you." said Leon calmly.

Jaylyn stopped what she was doing and looked down. She nodded slowly like she was ashamed.

"Baby" whispered Leon. "He's not gonna touch you again."

"I don't wanna talk about this right now. It's over. I just wanna go and have fun." said Jaylyn trying to forget the pain she was in from head to toe.

"Fine. I'll help you pack. I don't want you here by yourself in case that bitch comes back." explained Leon starting to get some of her stuff and hand it to her.

"Thanks."

Leon and Jaylyn packed up her sports bag for the trip and headed out. When they got to Jaylyn's car Leon saw a for sale sign on the window and was surprised she wanted to sell it. He didn't say anything to her about it because he knew she probably didn't want to talk about it.

Jaylyn and Leon dropped her car off at her parents house and said bye to Leon Jr. He didn't want to see his parents leave so he clung to Leon and almost started crying when they had to leave. Leon and Jaylyn both hated seeing their son cry so they were both contemplating not going but Mrs. Johnson insisted that he was just getting at that age when he wanted to be with his parents at all times and rushed them out the door while Leon was distracted.

They were walking next door when Leon stopped Jaylyn. He took a hold of her arm and turned her to face him. Jaylyn looked at him surprised and instinctively went against him as if she was waiting for him to kiss her. He looked down at her and got mere inches from her face.

"Why are you selling your car." asked Leon letting go of her arm.

"What." asked Jaylyn sadly because that was not what she was expecting.

"Why are you selling your car." he repeated.

"Um. . . I just. . . I can't afford it anymore. The maintenance on it is becoming to much." explained Jaylyn.

"You can't sell your car. That was from your brother. If you needed money you should of come to me." said Leon sort of upset that she would resort to selling her car before asking him for something.

"I don't have the money to keep it in good condition anymore, I've got a little mouth to feed."

"He's my son too you know. If you weren't so damn stubborn then you'd let me help."

"Leon. . . " said Jaylyn as he started walking away.

Leon walked in the house, leaving Jaylyn standing in the yard. He was pissed because she said Leon was her son and acted like he had nothing to do with the conception of their son. Jaylyn walked in the house shortly after and everyone immediately moved toward her when they saw the bruises on her face.

"Are you ok." asked Mia.

"I'm fine. . . Really. . . Leon took good care of me." said Jaylyn trying to move out of the center of the group.

"Well then are we ready to go." asked Vince. "I'm ready to gamble."

"Ok. Dom and Leon wanna take their own cars so Jaylyn how about you ride with Leon so he's not all lonely." suggested Vince wrapping his arms around his fiancé.

"I don't mind." said Jaylyn looking over at Leon and seeing a pissed off look on his face.

"Whatever." he said walking past her picking up his bag on the way. "Let's roll then."

"You heard the man." said Dom clapping and nudging everyone toward the door and grabbing his and Letty's bags on the way out.

Everyone got in their cars and got situated for the long ride. When they were on the road they started beeping each other on their Nextel phones. Leon wouldn't talk to Jaylyn and it was starting to annoy her because she didn't exactly know why he was mad. They drove for about an hour without any talking.

"Ok what is your problem." said Jaylyn finally frustrated with Leon's silence. "You haven't talked to me in almost an hour."

"Don't worry about it." mumbled Leon.

"Just tell me. . . GOD I HATE WHEN YOU DO THAT SHIT." shouted Jaylyn.

"YOU KNOW WHAT MY PROBLEM IS. . ." shouted Leon glancing at her to see her roll her eyes. "YOU ACT LIKE I DO NOTHIN FOR MINI ME. LIKE I'M JUST SOME LOSER FATHER THAT WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. WELL FUCK THAT SHIT AND FUCK YOU. I BUST MY ASS TRYING TO HELP YOU WITH MINI ME AND YOU WON'T EXCEPT IT. I DO EVERYTHING I CAN FOR YOU AND YOU CAN'T EVEN COME TO ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING."

"Leon." mumbled Jaylyn. "I'm sorry if I made you feel that way I didn't mean to."

"Whatever. I'm so tired of this bull shit with you." said Leon.

"WHAT BULL SHIT. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING."

*Blebleep*

"Leon." said Dom over the Nextel phone.

"Ya dawg." said Leon glaring at Jaylyn.

"Do you wanna stop for something to eat or keep goin. We've only got maybe another 2 hours. I say keep goin."

"Ya let's just keep goin." said Leon.

"Cool." said Vince.

Jaylyn crossed her arms and looked out the window with a mean look on her face the rest of the trip. She didn't know why her selling her car was such a big deal to Leon. It was her car. Jaylyn didn't mean to make it sound like he wasn't trying to help take care of their son because he did. He offered money and bought him clothes and stuff all the time. She started to feel really bad for what she said to Leon realizing that he was truly hurt that she didn't ask him for help.
