Two days alone and I can already feel my world crumbling. They all left, Shannon, Matt, Steph, and Jeff. Hell, even Shane, whom I've never even spoke to left. I'd even talk to him right now.

I stared at the ceiling just thinking.

I finally threw the blankets back and rolled out of the bed.

Lucas came into the room, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. I smiled and picked him up. Matt 'hired' me to baby-sit him. Since Lucas is like his son.

"Hey, Lucas." I said as I ruffled his fur.

I sat him down on the bed then wandered into the bathroom. I took my pajama's off and climbed into the shower, the hot water calmed me more than anything else. The clear doors quickly clouded from the hot water.

Being alone for two days, no social contact is killing me.

The bathroom door swung open, Ryan walked in.

He glanced at the shower stall, his eyes became wide, "Jess!" He said, shocked.

I covered my self with my arms, "Ryan! Get the fuck out of here!"

He covered his eyes and ran out of the room.

I turned the water off, dried off and pulled Jeff's shirt over my head then put my pajama pants on. I wandered into the living room. Ryan was sitting on the counter top, his face blood red.

"What did you want?" I asked as I went to the refrigerator and got a diet coke. I felt his eyes on me the entire time.

"I was looking for Shan' but I can see he's gone." The lust in his eyes made my stomach turn.

"Yeah, he's not here right now." I said before opening the can.

Ryan put his hand on my arm, I tensed and moved away from him, "Oh, uh, Can you come by the shop today?"

"I took two weeks off and Shannon said I didn't have to go back until he came back." I said, becoming super uncomfortable.

"Well, I need some help around the shop. The new guy can't do jack-shit." He said, stepping closer to me.

I swallowed hard, I really just want him out of my house, "I might be there after Jeff calls."

Ryan gulped, "Sure."

"You can leave now,"

He looked me up and down, "Are you sure you don't want me to stay?"

I backed away from him.

"I mean 'cause it looks like a lonely girl like you needs someone to keep her company."

"Ryan, just leave."

"C'mon." He pleaded, stepping dangerously close to me.

I bumped into the wall, "Ryan, leave right now."

He huffed angrily then stormed out of the house, cursing me the entire way.

--

I put the pizza in the over and closed the door. I hopped up on the counter. My cell phone, the house phone, and every other phone we had was sitting beside me.

Fifteen minutes passed, with me just kicking my feet and staring at my pizza.

The phone rang, I immediately grabbed it. I answered on the first ring.

"Hey baby!" I said excitedly.

"Baby?" Matt asked. My face turned red.

"I thought it was going to be Jeff." I tried not to sound disappointed.

"Nope, just me."

"Can I talk to Jeff?" I asked quickly.

"No. How's Lucas?" Matt snapped, I smiled. He needs to have some kids.

"Fine and Dandy, he's asleep in my bed right now."

"That's my boy, here's Jeff. That's all I wanted."

My heart skipped a beat, "Hey Baby," Jeff's sweet voice echoed through the phone.

I smiled, "Hey sweets,"

"What were you doin' earlier? I called."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, I called about half an hour ago, and no one answered. It's okay, what's new?"

I yawned, "Nothing, Ryan came over and he gave me the creeps really bad."

Jeff's tone immediately turned to anger, "What did he do? Jess, if he did something to you I'll kill him."

I could hear Shannon in the background, yelling.

"He told me he needed me at the shop, which is bullshit because Shannon said he didn't want me there without him around."

"Is he gone now?"

"Yeah, but I had to force him to leave."

"Please come out with me, I'll talk Vince into letting you be my manager. So you don't have to stay at home by yourself. I'm worried, " He pleaded.

"What about Lucas?"

"Lucas," Jeff started but was cut off by Matt yelling, "Send Lucas to Dad's."

"I will, but I swear to god if I get left…"

I could hear the smile in Jeff's voice, "You wont be forgotten."
