I woke up to find myself in the hospital. I remember running out of the Dot and just falling down. I must've passed out. I look around to see Jay and Joey sleeping in the chairs around me. They looked so peaceful and I didn't know what would happen if they woke up. I just looked around the room.

Then the nurse walked in. "Oh Ms. Nelson you're up. We were worried about you. Your brother and father have been with you ever since you got here." She says to me. I wanted to laugh. She actually thought Jay and Joey were my dad and brother. I hope she didn't wake them up I'm not ready to deal with their fighting right now.

"Em, your awake! We were so worried about you!" Joey says to me. Jay starts laughing. "What's so funny?" Joey asks him.

"Some family you are. You wait till she's in the hospital and then start worrying about her and acting like you care. What about the Crew? We were there through everything. We're always worried about her. We're the ones who raised her." Jay answers back. He was right.

I knew this was going to get ugly. "I want to go home." I told Jay. I couldn't stand staying here and listening to him and Joey fighting anymore. I didn't even know why Joey was here. He knew I wouldn't go home with him. Last time it took a bad beating for me to leave and it'll just uglier if they try.

"I'll get you out of here soon I promise." Jay says to me. I started smiling.

"I don't think so. She's going home with me. This was the last straw. I let you keep her for six years and be glad I didn't press charges for what happened last time you came to my house." Joey says to Jay. "She shouldn't be living in that place. God knows what you guys are doing in there. She probably collapsed from all the drugs you have her on."

"Joey, I refuse to go home with you. Like Jay said they raised me for the last six years. They're family more then you and Craig ever were. I WILL NOT GO TO YOUR HOUSE!" I yelled. I can't believe he still wants me to go to his house.

"Well Emma you don't have a choice. I never told you this but when your mother and I got married I adopted you. I didn't agree with you being in the Crew and let you live there. But after seeing you collapse like that I think its much better if you come home with me!" Joey says.

Am I hearing things? Did Joey say he adopted me? Why is he telling me this? Why now?
