HI! I'm so sorry but I have made a mistake.

I got a review telling me I had uploaded episode 12 one more time but just named it chapter 13. That was almost right. What I actually had done was forget the real chapter 12. and posted chapter 13 instead. So when I was posting chapter 13 it was the same as 12. That means I left out a part of the story... No now I made a big chapter with the end of 11. the REAL 12 and then 13. And just because I made this mistake (which I'm so sorry for) I will ask for your forgiveness by giving you a extra long 14th chapter. I will upload it right away

This is how the story was suppose to be posted in the correct order, hope you enjoy!

Here you have : the end of 11 + chapter 12 + chapter 13

with a new name : "This is a big mess"

At first I thought I would stand in my room for hours but I started to calm down and just stood there sobbing, still holding a firm grip around Zac's safe body.

"are you ok ?" he said and pulled away a little to see my face.

" no..." I answered, shaking my head.

"can I get you anything ?" he asked and I could hear by the tone of his voice that he didn't really know what to do.

" no... I … I think I want to sleep.. but in the living room."

Zac just obeyed. He walked me down the stairs and I waited in the living room while he prepared the couch for me. He did it fast and kept glancing at me to make sure I was okay. When he was done I sat down on the couch and started taking big breaths to calm my heart rate down. Zac went down on his knees in front of me and placed his hands on my knees.

" If you want me to stay , I will.."

"I'm fine.." I said. I didn't want him to get into any trouble.

"okay... Sam will be out in the hall until 1 a clock and then he will change with a agent named Frank.. but I'll make sure to be up when you wake up. get some sleep... and if you want to contact me you'll have this from now on. " he said and handed me a small little thing. It looked like one of those toys that Bella has, called "tamaguchi?" or something. A small black little box with one button on it.

"If you push that button my ear set will beep like crazy and I'll be wide awake in a second." he explained and put it in my hands.

I looked down on it and then up on his. A small and weak smile appeared on my lips.

Zac did the same. And then he did something he knew was wrong but he didn't want to stop himself. Before he got up from his knees he leaned in and placed a kiss on my forehead and whispered:

" just push the button.. I won't let anything happen to you" and with that he left.

..

I laid down on the couch with the black little box in my hand... I pulled the cover over me but I couldn't sleep.. my fingers stroke the button over and over but I can't call him here because I can't sleep , That's ridiculous ! But I didn't want to put it on the table as if someone would take it. He had kissed me. Only on the forehead but still! Even though the circumstances I was in I still felt butterflies just thinking about it.

After a while (that felt like years) Sam whispered something to another guy and walked away , without even bother to tell me what was going on. And he knew I was awake since he been looking at me from time to time.

"who are you ?" I whispered to the man in the hall.

"Sorry miss, didn't see you were awake. I'm agent Johnson." he explained

" no, I mean, what's your first name?"

" I don't see why that's relevant ?"

"please... I know the name of the guy who's guarding tonight and if you want me to trust you , I'd prefer you say your name." I said , feeling a bit paranoid.

" I understand , miss... My name is Frank." he said. I sighed out in relief.

" sorry for being so childish, I just... I wanted to be sure..

" I understand miss."

"call me Vanessa, I only let people call me by first name"

" I promise you , Vanessa , that I will not leave this hallway until you do." he said, even giving me a friendly smile.

"Thank you"

" It's my job." he said ending the conversation and turned his back to me.

I'm getting tired of that sentence by now ! It's almost like they say it too distance themselves every time they get a tiny bit personal. When Frank arrived I knew it was 1.00...

but I didn't know what the time was when I feel asleep because I had so much in my head.

What was happening ? First Paul get's a mysterious message and then someone chases me and now they broke into my room ?

And why only me? The message clearly said: "I know where you live and I know where your kids live" and then a picture on Bella and Nick. Not me !

And how did they get in ? And how come they knew exactly where my room was and only destroyed my room ? And only chased me from work, not the kids from school!... and why now?

Sometime after those thoughts I fell asleep...

next morning

" Hi, how is she doing ?" Zac asked Frank while walking up to him. He had just woken up, taken a shower and walked straight to the living room. He was alert but only because of coffee. He hadn't been able to sleep at all.

" she was awake when I got here... she wanted to know my first name. Did you tell her my name?"

" Yes I did. I gave her my caller and told her your name. If Sam would have changed with a stranger she would feel unsafe and call me. We don't know how those guys got in, it might as well be a inside job. We don't know that " he said, a bit irritated. Why did everyone have to question every single decision he makes?

" clever thinking, boy... " Frank said, noticing Zac's frustration.

"Thank you,sir"

" She fell asleep around half past 2.. but she's been rolling around and I don't think she's been sleeping so well."

"Nightmares?"

" That would be understandable"

Zac nodded and knew exactly what she was dreaming of. He felt so useless! He should protect her but how does he protect her from her dreams? And how could he let her walk into her room alone?

He didn't even want to think about what could have happened if the men in her room had been armed and prepared.

"Where is she? Is she okay, and the kids?" Charles said concerned and stressed as he ran into the house. Zac walked up to him and stopped him from walking into the living room.

" Sir... I mean, Charles, she is fine but asleep and she hasn't slept much, The kids has no idea except that a loud noise appeared when they were playing."

" What happened?! The guards mentioned a shooting? Is she okay ?!"

" Calm down, she is fine. I was the one shooting. I tried to shoot one of the intruders" Zac explained.

" oh... can I see her?"

" she's in the living room.." Zac said carefully and moved out of the way.

Charles walked in and sat on his knees by the couch , stroking a bit of hair out of her troubling face and his heart broke a little every time he saw her painful face and her moving , caused by the nightmare she was having. He stroke her cheek and tried to wake her from her nightmare.

" Vanessa.. It's me, charles..." he said and I opened my eyes. As soon as I saw his concerned face I let all emotions loose and tears streamed down my face as I hugged him.

"I saw the 2 men... they looked right at me..." I sobbed. Charles sat beside me, moved my legs over his lap and help me tight in his fatherly arms.

"They went through all my things.. how did they even get in ?" I cried out.

"I don't know,sweet heart... I don't know.." he said, slowly rocking me back and fourth. It doesn't matter how old a woman get's, she will always need a father figure and Charles is the closest I got.

Zac had told Frank to go and now he stood there just watching her and Charles. He wanted to be able to comfort her like Charles did... Last night he wanted to kiss her, and stay with her until she fell asleep. Instead she told him about the other guys that was staying and left her his caller. Most of all he had want to stay with her through the night, not only to comfort her but that way maybe even he could have gotten some sleep instead of staying up wondering how she was.… Just standing here watching for a distance is not really what he actually wanted.

He was just about to turn away and leave them to privacy when he saw her lean towards the living room table to leave the caller there. That brought a smile to his face. She had hold on to it the entire night.

"Tell me what to do, I'll do anything" Charles said.

"this is to much to ask... but do you think you could call Rebecca ..." I sobbed. Rebecca is Julies sister, Liams aunt who lives in Spain.

"ofc ! She'll be glad to.. are you sure though ?"

" he is safe here.. I was also suppose to be safe here but who ever they are they still managed to get in ! "

" sch.. I'm sorry.. " He said while stroking my arm.

" I want him as far away from all this as possible... I'll miss him like crazy, but at least I know he will be safe."

"I'll make the call.." he agreed and kissed the top of my head.

"and could you bring him to me?..."

"ofc.."

Charles stoop up and walked into the kitchen slowly and I could hear him dial the number.

Zac was standing in the hall, talking on the phone. Of course I took my chance and tried to eavesdrop.

"3 sir... yes.. I know, sir.. I wasn't in the house … That's not my responsibility, it's the guards at the gate, sir ! … no sir.. ofc not sir.. yes sir.. No, she's too unstable.. She's in shock sir ! … I don't know... can it wait ?... okay sir.. yes sir.. Bye sir"

" What does he want you to do ?" I said , curious and serious. Zac turned to me surprised. "You are not the only one who listens to others conversations. " I said with a slight smile.

"oh , that was my boss"

"and he blames you for those … men , being inside?" I said.

"yes... at first but it was the guards at the gate's fault and he knows that."

"okay... what else did he want you to do"

"That's not important" he said and shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing.

"you swore to be honest.. I can take it. " I said, smiling at him.

"he wants me to ask you questions.. to get helpful information" he said, quietly almost like he was hoping I didn't hear.

"ask me." I said simply and turned to him completely.

" it can wait if you don't feel ready.. it can be very real when you have to go through it all again "

" ask me !" I repeated.

"fine... I'm going to walk you through what happened and to that I need you to close your eyes..."

I hesitated but forced my eyes to shut. I heard someone walking in and I quickly opened my eyes again. I don't know what I was scared of but I didn't feel safe at all. Sam had entered the room and had now thrown up his hands in the air looking innocent.

"it's only me.." he said and received a pretty serious glare from Zac. "chill , bro ! " he said and Zac rolled his eyes at him and turned back to me.

"close your eyes."

I closed my eyes again, even more scared then before but then I felt 2 hands taking mine. He was holding my hands and squeezed them light to let me know he was there through it. I'm guessing Sam didn't like that since Zac said in a angry tone :

"Shut up , or leave ! "

No one answered and no footsteps was heard so I guess he shut up.

"Okay.. Remember when we got out of the car.. you walked into the house and started walking up the stairs.. but you turned to me in the middle... and said..."

He stopped his words and I could feel the awkwardness in the room. I had my eyes shut but I could imagine how Sam looked at him , curious to see where that sentence would end.

"I know what I said." I said to put Zac out of his misery.

" good... and then you continued up the stairs,right ?" he continued and I just nodded.

"and what happened next ?"

"I opened my door and then they stood there … and -"

" wow, slow down.. who stood there?" he said and it was hard to focus because all I could think of was the fact that he was holding my hands ."

" I don't know..2 men.. no 3 , but the third one was half way out the window.. he didn't turn to me, but the other 2 did... "

"okay, you are doing good.. now what did they look like.. can you describe them? "

" they.. one was taller than the other... They had muscles and the taller guy looked a little Italian... I'm not sure, I have only dated one Italian before.. " I said, making his chukle.

"okay good.. and the other man ?"

"The shorter was, well.. he looked like he was in charge."

" in what way ?"

" he.. he had that attitude in his face.. and both had brown hair, a little darker than yours...and I know I'm probably wrong but the short man looked like he had one brown eye and one black."

"That's good …. can you remember something more, did they say anything to you ?"

"no.. nothing, they just looked at me. The taller one looked at the shorter one almost like he

was waiting for instructions..but they had no weapons what I could see.. "

" so they didn't aim a weapon at you ?"

" no.. they just looked.. straight in my eyes and just stared.. they weren't even shocked or stressed.. they were calm..." I said slowly feeling something cold surrounding me. Zac squeezed my hands a bit.

" It's enough , Vanessa.. You can open your eyes.." but I didn't listen at him.

"he looked at me and before I ran out he opened his mouth... he was going to say something" I said and felt his hands move from my hands to my face instead.

"Open your eyes, vanessa !" he said like a order. I looked at him , surprised by his tone, but he only smiled at me. "You did good... That was a lot of helpful information.." he said.

In that moment Charles walked in the room with Liam in his arms. Zac moved and Charles handed me Liam. After that I didn't mind either Sam,Zac or Charles. I just embraced Liam in my arms and held him tight.

"FBI is flying Rebecca here right now, and then they offer to fly them back to Spain. " Charles said.

" good..."

"are you sure you want to leave him with her?" he asked.

"It's for his best.. besides, I think I need him more than he needs me."

"you are too brave for your own good." he said and gave me a fatherly hug.

"the question is if it's brave or stupid to run towards the gunfire. " Sam mumbled to himself but loud enough for us all to hear. Charles, who sat next to me, turned to Sam angry.

"It's brave ! if you don't have anything positive to say I suggest you leave the room! "

Zac looked shocked at Charles and couldn't help but smile when a ashamed Sam walked out the room.

"You too! You only confuse her, so get out !" Charles said , this time to Zac.

At first Zac didn't understand but then he understood that Charles knew. Charles knew what he and Vanessa had. Whatever you call it. That's just Great ! Like a dog with his tail between his legs he walked out, following Sam.

" Charles..." I said.

" You can't imagine how worried I got when the guards at the gate talked about how they never saw 3 men sneaking in..."

"It's okay.." I said and hugged him with my free arm.

"it's silly that you calm me down, and not the other way around." he said, chuckling.

" it kinda is... " I said, giggling. Sam reentered the room.

" Miss... would you mind joining us in a meeting.. we would like to hear your story and maybe you have some questions? "

some questions? Even if I'm on shock and tearful I can think of a few!

I followed Sam into the kitchen where everybody was gathered. Zac stood close to the door so I tried to stand beside him. I leaned closer to him and whispered:

" if everybody is here then who is at the gate?"

"they called in back up.. are you ok ? " he asked concerned.

" yes..." I said.

A big man with uniform stood in the center of the kitchen, leaning close to the counter while looking around the room. It only took me a second to understand that he was Zac's Boss. I remembered him from the very first night when she came back from Paris.

" I took a early flight to get here and I am tired like hell so lets get to work fast. I have about 20 men searching through the house. All rooms are being searched and I have about 5 men in miss Hudgens room to see if they can find out what the 3 unsubs was looking for. " he said and I was just about to protest about the fact that strangers were searching through my room, but Zac reached out a warningly arm in front of me and this time I decided to listen at him.

"I have talked to my men at the gate and I have made sure that the system is bulletproof and if you do your job properly we shouldn't have a problem. the window in the pool room was open but we don't think they got through that way. We had surveillance cameras there and caught nothing... The only people that walked through those gate's where the pool cleaner and a painter..

"pool cleaner ? " I said , shocked.

" yes, miss Hudgens?" he answered a bit shocked that I had the guts to even open my mouth.

"uhm... do you have footage of when they entered the gate?.." I said , shy.

" eh, yes , in fact we do.. " he said, surprised.

People let me through and when I reached Zac's boss he turned a laptop towards me and I saw how the man staring right into the camera... It was him! The Italian guy! How could I missed that he was dressed as a cleaner ?! I covered my mouth with my right hand and nodded.

"that is him.. One of the men."

" are you sure?" he said and now Zac had appeared by my side and he asked his boss if he could play the tape. His boss clicked on Play and the audio was weak but I could still hear what he said. He had an Italian accent too.

"Hello, Miss Hudgens called early this week and asked me to clean the pool" Zac stopped the tape and looked over at his Boss.

"I never saw any of their faces but this man is just as tall as the one I tried to shoot... and he is in fact not one of Va...Miss Hudgens employers."

"How can you be so sure?" he said doubtful.

"She would without a doubt recognize her employes and this man didn't call her by first name.. All her employees knows that miss Hudgens wants to be called by first name.."

" miss? " he asked and turned to me.

"yes... and one of the men I saw in my room was Italian.. I'm sure of that.."

"Okay, so now we know that one man entered by gate but how did the other 2 get in? " he said and turned to his other agents for ideas.

"they left through the window.. can't they get in that way ? " I said and he just laughed at me as if I was a child.

"It's easier to jump down from a roof, than climb up on one, isn't it ?"

some of the guards couldn't help but laugh too . That made Zac irritated and walked out. His Boss yelled after him but he just answered: "be right back..." and continued walking. The room turned quiet and some rolled their eyes at him. Why did they hate him ? What had he done ? Just because he is young and new doesn't mean everything he says is helpless !

Zac walked back into the kitchen with a proud grin on his face.

"Agent Efron, care to explain your behavior? " the boss said, quite annoyed.

"yes. I just walked around the house quick and I saw that some bricks on the wall was missing. Someone has loosen those bricks and if you remove them its pretty easy to climb in. It's very easy to get up to Vane...Miss Hudgens window by climbing like that. Sure it only reach to second floor but then you can climb on the roof and if someone opened the window from inside it's not hard at all. Although someone would have had to loosen those bricks beforehand. There is no way they would manage to do that with FBI around. It would take hours and we would have caught them.

The entire room was quiet and his boss just looked at him, surprised and very impressed.

"Good, agent... Miss, do you know these men?"

" no.. never seem them in my life.." I said and nodded my hand, also impressed by Zac.

"okay.. You haven't had much to say in this but today you will.. my first question is if you want to

stay here or move to a safer location? "

"I want to stay here with the kids.. although the youngest one is flying to Spain to his aunt, It's harder to protect him."

" I understand.. and the next question. Do you want another bodyguard ? " when he said that Zac looked down on the floor, knowing his chances was lost now. He was being thrown to the side.

"what ?"

" do you want someone else as your bodyguard?"

" I don't see how any of this was Agent Efron's fault at all ? " I said a bit upset.

Zac looked at her. She got upset because someone insulted him. Yes, it wasn't good because it meant a personal relation, but she got upset towards his boss ! HAHA! that made him jump inside.. and she was smart enough to call him Agent Efron instead of his first name. That should show them how professional they could be!

"of course not. But I assume someone has informed you that Zachary Efron isn't a full agent yet.

This was his final test and now when we have reason to believe it's a little more serious than we thought I'm asking you if you'd prefer a more experienced agent" he said trying to sound nice but I could see that Zac was hurt by his words.

"I wouldn't want any one else to protect my life since Agent Efron has been the only one from FBI that has made me feel safe. No offense but none of the others have talked to me or explained anything. Experienced or not, he is the only one I trust my life with."

"I'm glad to hear that. Just know that you have the right to demand someone else" he said, polite.

" Thank you. " I said and managed to fake a smile.

" if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to my agents alone for a minute." he said.

"no problem.. but I do want to know what you will do about the gate.. I thought the point

with guards was that no one would get in?"

" That was a minor mistake that we are fixing as we speak" he said and not so polite this time.

"I hope so." and with that I left the room and the others stayed there for a while. I was so curious of what they might be talking about! After a while the door was opened by Zac and no one but him walked out.

" what's going on?"

" they are still talking, but the agents from the gate told me a Rebecca had just arrived"

"oh okay.." I said and walked towards the door before he grabbed my arm and turned me around.

"wait.. I want to say thank you for defending me in there.."

"of course.. and I meant what I said.. None of it was based on the fact that I'm attracted to you , which isn't such a big secret any more... It was all based on the truth. You are good at your job."

"Thank you.. " he said and looked at the hand I softly placed on his chest.

"you're good at your job, so good that not a distraction would ruin that" I said and winked

" nice try" he chuckled and took away my hand.

"I do my best" I said with a giggle.

" You might fool the others. But I know everything that goes on in this house. " Charles said, who was leaning on the living room doors. That caused Zac to lean away from me but I just rolled my eyes and lifted the happy Liam up in my arms.

" how long ?" I asked.

" You are very easy to read.." he said .

"Nothing has happened..."

" and if it did I wouldn't tell. " he said and smiled.

"It won't.." Zac said, almost to quick. Charles looked at me to see my reaction to Zac's answer but I was fast to turn away from him and towards the door that was just opened by Rebecca.

"Hi sweetie" she said and hugged me.

" I'm sorry to call you here like that.."

" It's okay, Charles explained everything. " she assured.

"I'm sorry for just leaving him with you , I just didn't know what to do "

" you do what a real mother would do.. " she said with a comforting smile. she reminded me so much of Jules.

" I guess.. Is it okay if I call and ask how everything's going? "

"of course ! Just call when ever you feel like it. "

" thank you so much …" I nodded.

Rebecca held out her arms and I knew she was ready to take him. I turned him to me and kissed his forehead before handing him too her. A man in suit walked in and told Rebecca they had to leave if they would catch the flight. Rebecca took a step away from me and Liam immediately reached out his arms to me. My heart broke in pieces by seeing his face but I put on a fake smile and waved.

" Bye baby..."

" mommy … ? " he said, a bit confused.

I didn't know how Rebecca would react. I tried to tell Liam to call me Vanessa instead of his mother , but he was only 2. He didn't know who Julie was since he hadn't met her. Rebecca is Julies sister so I didn't know how she would react to Liams words but all she did was take Liams arm and help him wave

"Bye mommy.. Liam, say "Bye" "

" Mommy.." he just said, reaching his arms as far as he can.

I turned my back to him and looked right in front of me... I heard the door shut and I looked at charles who just walked up to me and embraces me in a hug. I hugged him back and sighed.

"why is this so damn hard?"

"because you're a mother who just said goodbye to her 2 year old son..." he said simply.

"did I do the right thing ?" I asked and I didn't really know If I had..

"Yes , you did.. now you can focus on yourself … like the fact that you are singing tonight" he said and a huge grin appeared on his face.

" DAMN IT! "

"THAT'S A DOLLAR IN THE BUCKET !" Bella yelled as she ran down the stairs right into my arms and hugged me.

" morning Bella.." I said and smiled.

" Morning. Nick is sitting by the computer and being boring. Do you want to do something?"

" Not right now sweetie" I said and Bella ran away playing with herself. I turned to Zac who was leaning against the wall near the kitchen. I think he was eavesdropping.

" you really have a problem with others conversations, don't you ?" I joked.

"I'm glad to see that you can still joke and be yourself" he said with a smile.

" who else would I be?" I said and winked.

" good point.." he said with a chukle.

" yea... I have to move on.. do you think the strangers in my room are done intruding on my private life so I can walk up and change?"

"I don't think so... but they will be done in 30 minutes I think."

" I'm going to shower , do you want this back ?" I said and held his called up.

" no.. keep it , you might need it." he said and smiled.

" wow, that's comforting." I said sarcasticly.

" just go and shower !" he said and laughed at me. I winked back at him.

"Yes, sir ! " I said and he just rolled his eyes at me. I walked up the stairs but stopped in the middle and turned to him. " I will, Agent Efron"

"Are you done mocking me now?" he said and laughed.

" Never !"

I walked up the stairs and into the bathroom. I left my clothes right outside the shower and placed my towel on it before I stepped into the shower. There I stood in 45 minutes. the first 10 minutes I felt like crying . But I didn't. And then I just stood there, enjoying the hot water washing my body. After those 45 minutes I forced myself to step out of the shower but I stepped quickly back in again because the first thing I saw on the towels was the biggest spider I have ever seen !

What the hell did I do now?

"CHARLES ! " I yelled.

no answer...

"NICK !BELLA !"

no answer...

Then I got a crazy Idea. I stepped outside the shower and slowly moved my hand under the towel , to my jeans..

The GIGANTIC spider was still..

so I moved my hand a little to the right to find my pocket.. In there I grabbed the caller and just when I had it the spider moved! I pulled my hand away and the spider moved, but not away from the towel.

I stepped back into the shower and pushed the button. After only 2 second I heard someone running up the stairs. I didn't think further than this.. That spider just has to go but how Zac will do that with me in the shower at the same time, well that's the tricky part.

So that was my chapters in the correct order.

Again, I'm sorry for the trouble.

Hang on tight and in the coming 4 hours I will upload my extra long 14th chapter!

Don't forget to review!
