I couldn't believe, what I was reading.

The little white bubble had a text written in caps: Is Martha a whore or sold to a pedophile?! We got the pics to prove it! O_O''

I opened it and there were like seven pictures with me and Sweeney hugging, but worst of all kissing.

I felt so ashamed, that I handed the PC back to Ann and said in a trembling voice:,, Tell the teacher, I didn't feel too well. I'm going home…''

She hugged me and nodded. I grabbed my backpack and ran for the door.

I felt tears rising in my eyes as I heard everyone yelling and calling me names like: Oh, look! The little whore's late for work!''

Or:,, Where's your client? Waiting to screw you behind the corner? Good luck, next teen mom!''

I tried not to show them I'm weak, but I just couldn't control the waterfall of tears, which caused everybody to point and laugh. I ran down the street and almost got killed by a car, but I didn't care. My only goal right now was to get home as fast as I could. I ran up the stairs and fell in my bed, crying my heart out. How didn't I see this coming? I mean I should have been smarter than this, to kiss him on the streets, especially with the Everdeens stalking, gossiping and torturing me like this. I jumped as I heard a knock on the door. I rose up, wiped away the tears from my red face and went to open it. I opened it slowly, cautiously and peeked out the little space. It was Sweeney looking worried and ashamed. I opened the door and let him in. We didn't say anything, but went to my room and sat down.

I don't know if he was reading my mind, but he didn't say anything, but hug me close as I sobbed in his chest:,, I'm so sorry, that this happened. I completely forgot about the Everdeens. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…''

He tilted my chin up, making me look in his eyes and said:,, It's okay. I'm the blame here too. I was the one to kiss you the first place…''

I shook my head and jumped up, raising my trembling voice a little:,, No! It's not okay. I won't be able to go out in public ever again. I…''

I remembered about Sweeney.

I turned to him and quietly asked:,, How did you find out about this? Did Ann tell you? Did they hurt you? Tell you anything? Please, tell me, I need to know this.''

He sighed, rising up:,, I was walking down the street to get some fresh air, when a group of teens like you asked me, why I seduce young girls like you for dirty purposes. I didn't understand what the heck they we're talking about so I said, that I don't know what they we're trying to say. So they started to yell at me if I won't leave this city or better yet the continent, they'll call the police to arrest me for this. I asked them where did they get this idea, when they showed me the pictures and the so called ''tweet'' in some profile named Everdeen_gossip_girls. So then it finally hit me, but they left, warning me about this. So I went straightly here, because I know I would find you here after a problem like this.''

He saw my crying increase so he wrapped his arms around my trembling body and whispered in my ear:,, Shh, it's okay. We'll tell them it's just a misunderstanding. I mean we are married right?''

I raised my eyes up to his dark ones and shook my head:,, Yes, but not here. It's too complicated. And they won't listen, trust me, I know them. If we'll mention our marriage, it will make it even worse. In the 21st century, age is an obstacle in most of the countries, including here. If we would live in India or some place like that, then it would be legal, but not here.''

He nodded and lightly kissed my fore head, rubbing my back lightly.

,, I can't go back there, Sweeney. I just can't.'' I sniffed.

He whispered in my hair:,, We can get Toby to stay with you, while Joanna and I take care of the twins?''

I looked at him and asked:,, How will he help? He needs a protector as much as I need one now.''

He smiled sweetly:,, Well, that's why you can look out for each other at school. That's why I picked Toby. He'll blend in pretty good I hope.''

I nodded and sighed:,, Okay. I'll get him. I want to see our children too.''

He smiled and nodded. So I took my necklace and got really nervous, thinking about the reaction Toby will give, seeing me like this. I opened my eyes again and I was in the living room. I heard laughs from the bedroom. I entered it and saw Joanna and Toby playing with the twins. They we're so sweet, that I instantly smiled and went closer.

,, Mum, you're back! Uh, where's Mr. Todd?'' Toby hugged me.

I smiled weakly and said:,, He's back at home. But I have a very important mission for you. I need you to come with me to school to help you learn something and to keep me company… Now what do you say?''

His eyes shined:,, Oh, yes, I will, mum! I won't let you down on this. I promise.''

I sighed in relief to hear him agree on this.

I turned to the twins and Joanna:,, How's it going here?''

She smiled and sighed:,, It's a little challenge to put Benny to sleep, but other than that, we're doing great.''

I nodded and looked at the twins, who smiled and reached for me as their eyes met mines.

I hugged them and kissed their foreheads, whispering:,, Oh, how I've missed you two so much. I wish I could just take you with me. It looked like that they didn't want to let me go.

As I gave them back to Joanna, Anthony came in and bloomed in a smile, seeing me:,, Oh, welcome back, Mrs. Todd. How's it going there?''

I frowned and sighed:,, Awful, Anthony. Sweeney and I are in the center of gossips, that are ruining my life there.''

He lightly patted my shoulder:,, Oh, well, we can only hope that it will get better.''

I nodded and said:,, Thank you, Anthony.''

He smiled and returned to Joanna:,, Joanna, I have a very important question to ask you…''

He put his hand in his right pocket and I saw that it was a box.

He was going to propose to her, when I quickly jumped in the conversation:,, Um, Anthony? I need to speak to you in private.''

He nodded and followed me in the kitchen:,, What is it?''

I smiled:,, Well, first of all, I'm happy for the both of you, but maybe we should wait for this when we're together all. Like this Saturday?''

He nodded and blushed:,, How did you know?''

I giggled:,, Well, I'm a girl, who knows that this is the way all novels start. And I saw the little box's corner sticking out. Be glad it's black so she didn't see it. Maybe instead of proposing, maybe take her out for a dinner, huh?''

He nodded and went back to the room, sending Toby to the kitchen.

,, Ready to go?'' I smiled.

,, But, shouldn't I pack something?'' He asked.

I shook my head and said:,, No need. I have a little brother the same age as you, so you won't be alone then.''

He smiled and said:,, Okay, then let's go.''

I giggled and took his hand and we were on our way. After we made it back, Sweeney was already waiting for us. So we told everything, that he needed to know and settled Toby in. Next day we walked to school the secret way I discovered two years ago. Thanks to that we made it with 15 minutes to spare and we weren't seen by anyone.

We heard the bell ring from the outside when I said to him quietly:,, Ok, now I'll take you to your classroom and remember; don't make eye contact with anyone, just hold on to me, when it's recess and in case they ask you something you are my stepbrother from London, go that?''

He nodded and took my hand, lightly squeezing it as we entered the building that smelled like crushed dreams and spirits, and of course books. Everyone's attention was turned to the both of us. Toby tried to keep his gaze down as we crossed the hallways and corridors.

We finally made it to the 3rd grade's classroom and I said:,, Uh, Mrs. Kinsley? This is my stepbrother, Toby. Could you make him feel at home while he stays here? That way he can continue learning and I could return you a favor later, what do you say?''

She looked at him and then smiled:,, Of course, Martha. He can stay here with my class. Don't worry, dear, you'll be welcomed here.''

I poked Toby lightly and he raised up his eyes to hers and quietly said, bowing a little:,, Thank you, ma'am.''

She smiled and showed him his seat next to Heather Jefferson, the sweetest girl I know in this school.

She was a short, fragile redhead with light blue eyes and a sweet smile. She was on the top of the list in the smartest student's list in the little class's category. She greeted Toby and offered him a seat. He nodded and sat down, waving me.

I nodded and went to my classroom, where I was greeted by the Everdeens, Ann and the rest of the monkey clan I call boys. Except for Jared and Brandon. And let's not forget the venomous snakes I call the girls. We weren't a sweet and friendly class. We were very unstable, when it was about trust and friendship. I sat down in my seat and got mobbed instantly.

,, Who's the little brat you brought here?'' Annika grinned at her sister.

I growled, not raising my eyes from my hands, that were starting to slowly shape in fists:,, He's not a brat. He's my stepbrother, visiting from London.''

They giggled and asked:,, He sure must be embarrassed my you too, cause we saw the way he walked, all shameful and shy. You just made him see what true bitch you are…''

I could take it anymore, so I jumped up in my seat and punched Annika in the nose, growling at her:,, How dare you insult my family like that? If people would know the things I know, they would start to open their eyes for the truth! I know that in the fourth grade you were stealing wallets and phones from the wardrobes. I caught you taking them to the black market, to get money for cigarettes from the ninth graders. You are just a pathetic, sad, hopeless, stealing, liar!''

I kicked her so hard she collapsed on the ground. I was shaking from anger. She coughed up some blood and stood up, swaying unstably.

,, You want a fight…? Then I'll give you one!'' She tried to hit me, but she missed every time.

I guess I hit her bit too hard, but she deserved it. Everybody backed up so far, they were almost digging in the walls. I was sure I looked like a psycho with vampire like eyes.

I felt like Annika was my imaginative Judge Turpin and, oh, how I loved seeing her bleed.

I walked closer to her and rolled her on her back with my foot, with a maniac's smirk on. She looked terrified, but still trying to not to retreat.

I pressed her down with my foot and growled through my teeth:,, By the next morning that gossip profile better be gone or next time I won't go easy on you…''

I let her go and turned to Katrina, growling like Sweeney would:,, You'll be next… I swear it.''

And with that I took my bag and exited the classroom in time with the bell.

Ann ran to me and said:,, Wow, you'll be in such honor to finally tell the truth about the Everdeens, but I think you'll get detention for this…''

I turned to her and she jumped a little:,, I have an alibi; they were the guilty ones to even make that gossip profile. I just did that, because they insulted me, Sweeney and Toby too. So I taught her a lesson for this bitch business, cause I finally had enough of them gossiping around.''

We walked in to Biology class and it was the frog dissection day.

I wasn't too big of a fan of taking life from these poor souls, but today I just wanted to slaughter everybody here I hated, which would end up with a mighty bloodbath. I escaped the principal and got home safely. I went to my room, where Sweeney was sitting at my desk and reading my book, I wrote. I startled him, when I asked his opinion about it.

,, Sorry, pet. It's amazing. You wrote this by yourself?''

I nodded and sat in his lap, sighing:,, I returned our lives back the way they were supposed to be today…''

He raised an eyebrow:,, Aand, what did you do?''

I kissed him lightly and said:,, I beat up one of the Everdeens and told them to shut the profile down or I'll beat the crap out of them… You wouldn't mind if I would borrow your razor, would you?''

He looked at me and smirked:,, Not. At. All.'' He kissed me.

I giggled and laid against his chest:,, I can't wait for the summer to come again…''

He chuckled and said:,, But school just started.''

I looked up at him and sighed:,, I know, but I want to get back to London and live happily with my two daughters, two sons, a fuzzy jaguar kitten and the best of all, a loving husband.''

He smiled and picked me up bridal style, carrying me to bed:,, Well, I just want to live this moment forever with you.'' He laid me in it and lay next to me, pulling me close to him, as I rested my head on his chest.

,, I love you so much, Sweeney.''

He kissed me and softly said with a smile:,, I love you too, pet.''

That moment I felt like I was in heaven.

With Sweeney, next to me…
