Jan's POV

I was going to talk to my mother, I was going to help Sadie. No matter how much it took, I was going to make her life better. I was determined to help her out, I had a feeling my mother would be a big help, since she was a prosecutuer and she dealt with the sort of thing at least I hoped she would, I needed to do something and fast.

"It's going to be okay Sadie, I am going to help."

"We all will."

Les startled me a bit, I had forgotten that I was with him but the more the merrier. Sadie was still shaking and snobbing in my arms, I had never seen someone so emotioanlly distraught in my life but if you were in her situation you would be the same way. I felt terrible and I felt like a bigger asshole than before. Jesus, Jan why did you have to be such an asshole to her in the first place?

I sighed as she clung to me and then I pulled back and dried her eyes as she tried to smile but ended up crying as I grimaced and said," Sadie, when you're siblings get off school? Maybe we could go get them and then go to my mother's house and we can talk."

"I don't know."

"Sadie, Jan's going to help you. I am going to help you as well, give us a chance and don't push us away."

I think that was her problem, people wanted to help her but she ended up pushing everyone away. People that cared for her and wanted to her help but she had come to conclusion that she could do this on her own. She didn't need or want anyone's help and that was her mindset, it was a mindset that wasn't working anymore and now she had to take care of herself or she would fall apart.

Sadie's POV

So maybe I couldn't do this on my own, maybe I needed the help and most importantly my siblings needed the help. Seeing Jan and Les here made me nervous but anxious for the help. I didn't realize that Jan cared, I thought what I said to him went in on ear and out the other but maybe I was wrong. Maybe he did listen.

"What time do your siblings come home?"

"Around three."

I shifted my weight and looked at Jan who looked back at me and responded," It will be okay Sadie."

I just hoped he was right, I hoped everything would be fine. I didn't know if it would be fine, I didn't want to abandon my siblings and that's what I felt like I was doing. I didn't want to end up like my mother, not at all. I couldn't do that to them.

"Sadie? Are you okay?"

"I am just thinking about stuff."

He sat me down on the front porch and said," I am going to help you Sadie, I know you don't like me very much but I can help."

"I highly doubt it, what can you do?"

"Sadie, don't be like that. He's trying to help you."

I knew he was but what could he do? Why would I need to talk to his mother? Why now? I was bound to find that out soon.

Jan's POV

We waited for her siblings to come home, I called mom while at Sadie's and told her that I needed to talk to her. She didn't press me for information, I was planning on talking to her about sadie and what I could do to help out. Looking at Sadie, I knew she wasn't in the mood for talking; she looked extremely wiped out and drained so I decided not to take her over to my house, I knew she was probably going to pass out in her room after putting her siblings to bed.

"Saide, will you call me if you need anything."

"I will."

I smiled as Les kissed her head and responded," Call me if you need me."

She nodded and as I saw a tear fall down her cheek he wiped her tear as she smiled and retreated back into the house, I watched as she shut the door leaving the two of us standing outside. I was at a loss for words, I knew that I would most likely be back here tonight, if I knew my mother she would tell me to take her over here and talk to Sadie. I hoped that by telling my mother that somehow Sadie's life would get easier. I hoped.

The day passed with thoughts running through my brain, mainly ones that were making me think how tough I had made it for Sadie instead of realizing that most kids didn't have life handed to them on a silver platter like me. I was begining to realize that I made her life worse than it already was and I felt like a prick. By the time, I got home I was hoping my mother would be around and I was in luck, she was. She was sitting on the back porch reading a magazine and I asked," You busy?"

She looked up at me and said," No, I'm not sweetheart. Do you need something?"

"I need to talk to you."

She set down her magazine as I took a seat next to her and said," It's about Sadie. I have found out somethings and I need your help."

"My help?"

"Mom, she takes care of her siblings. Her mother is alocholic who is never home. It's been like that for years, Sadie holds two jobs and takes care of her siblings. Mom, she's losing it. She takes Adderall so she can get her studies done, her mother comes around once in awhile it's usually to harass Sadie."

"You should feel ashamed of yourself Jan."

"You don't even have to tell me. I went over to her house on my lunch with les and she was basically falling apart. I told her to call me if she needed anything."

"Well seems like her mother can be taken to court. I can prove it if I talk to Sadie but I'm afraid that Sadie can't watch after her siblings until she wins gardianship of her siblings and if not they will have to be placed in foster homes."

"That's just it, if that happens she feels like she will be abanding her siblings."

"Poor thing."

I sighed as my mother looked at me and said," See what I mean. Not everyone lives the simple life like you do. You're friends are in for a cruel reality check when they get into the real world. I am very glad that Sadie gave you one, I was hoping you would realize that not everything is easy."

"I do now mom."

"JAN! You have a phone call."

I rose from my chair hoping it was Sadie, I picked up the phone and said," Hello?"

"Jannn, can you come get me? Mother's here and she's not happy at all. Her boyfriend just came in and he's looking for me. I'm afraid."

Fear and anger rose through me, I signaled to my mother and said," I'll be there in a second Sadie, I promise."

"Pleaseeee."

Before I could respond, the phone went dead and I was fearing that he hit Sadie. I was hopign he didn't or I'd never be able to forgive myself.
