I woke up early the next morning and nearly laughed when I heard the commotion. He lied through his teeth last night and now I was woken up by his and Bobby's bitch fight about well, his bitch. I shook my head and slowly got out of bed. I slipped my pajama bottoms on over my boy shorts and opened my door. I smirked when I saw a disheveled Jack open his door too. He closed his eyes and sighed when eh realized who was fighting.

"You'd think by now Angel would know better than to bring her here." he mumbled running a hand through his messy hair. I smiled and leaned on my door frame.

"Well, you'd think he knew better than to see her at all." I teased. He finally looked at me and smiled.

"Good morning." he said politely.

"Good morning." I gave back and walked past him to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair before walking back out. I walked towards the stairs and started laughing again. Sofi was leaning over the stair case yelling at Bobby while Angel yelled at Bobby.

"Loco Ono is not staying in this house." Bobby yelled waving his hockey stick around in the living room. I walked past him and sat on the couch to get a better view.

"Bullshit, Bobby!" Angel yelled.

"I don't care! La Vida Loca ain't staying in this house one more night." Bobby yelled while Jerry fell over laughing in the chair.

"Oh so it's your house?" Angel attacked while Bobby smacked the puck around.

"So get her stuff. This ain't no homeless shelter." he yelled again. Angel pointed his finger at Bobby and continued to yell.

"You not running shit, Bobby. You not!" Angel screamed.

"Hey, Bobby!" Sofi yelled from the stairwell. I rolled my eyes hearing her say something inaudible in Spanish. Angel turned around and pointed at her.

"Baby, why don't you go upstairs. I've got this covered." Angel told her. I decided to leave once Bobby retaliated with more jokes and rude comments. I walked past them and out the front door.

"Loud, huh?" Jack's voice said from behind me. I turned around and smiled.

"No kidding. What a wake up call." I joked. He nodded and pulled out a cigarette. I smirked and took it. I grabbed his lighter and lit it while he shook his head.

"Not used to seeing you smoke. What happened to you not wanting black tarry lungs?" he joked at one of my first comments to him. I wanted to stay joking but the first thing that ran through my mind accidentally slipped out.

"Someone I cared about left, so I didn't see the point anymore." I slipped up. I hid my tiny gasp and mentally cursed myself.

"God, Emilie." he sighed rubbing his face. "Why can't this be easy?" he mumbled.

"Because it's not supposed to be." I snapped. He looked over at me and my heart broke.

"What do you want me to do? Tell me." he begged and walked over to kneel in front of me. "Just tell me so I can have you back." he begged. I licked my lips and nodded.

"I cried for days." I began. "I cried for nights and days over you. I wallowed in my own fucking self pity because you took that tramp with you."

"I'm sorry." he interrupted.

"Sorry? It's too late for sorry." I seethed. He stood up and stared at me.

"Then yell at me, scream and hit me. Do whatever you need to do." he said raising his voice. I jumped up and threw my cigarette out. I started to walk past him but he grabbed my arm.

"No! We're doing this now." he hissed pushing me backwards.

"I hate you!" I screamed. He looked hurt but nodded. "You left. You took her. You didn't call, you didn't even try."

"I did call!" he defended.

"7 months later!" I yelled throwing my hands in the air. "And then you have the nerve to tell me that you missed me!" I laughed manically.

"I did!" he said softly. I finally let the tears fall hearing his soft voice.

"Then why didn't you call?" I asked just above a whisper. He walked over and grabbed my face.

"I was stupid. I was stubborn. I didn't want to give in." he pleaded. "I know I was wrong. And I'm sorry. Just please, please tell me what I need to do to get you back."

"I cried for days. I couldn't even smile. I had lost you after losing everyone else. After you said I never would, I did. You hurt me, Jack." I cried looking him in the eyes. "You really hurt me."

"I know, trust me. I know. But I really need you. I really, really need you. Just give me this." he begged. I looked into his eyes and searched for any reason to say no. To tell him to fuck off. But I found nothing. All I found was hurt, pain, guilt and so much more. He needed me and I needed him. Why be selfish?

"Please, Emilie." he begged.

"Okay." I whispered. He swallowed and pulled me into his chest. He kissed the top of my head and I cried. And for once in a long time I felt safe. I had Jack.

Well I cried out my eyes the night that you left

And I begged for a sinner's reprieve

And I'll never forget the shame that I felt

When you loosened my grip on your sleeve

You said baby you didn't do anything wrong

There's just something that I have to say

And I said I'll never forgive you for this

Not even if you say please

I wanna hear say please, baby

Please, baby

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees, baby

Swallow up your pride

You know it wouldn't hut to cry

And say please

Oh, baby, please

After you left you know it took me a while

To get myself off of the ground

It was maybe a month before they got me to smile

Baby I've never been so downI know you think that I'm just being mean

And you're right 'cause I'm still mad at you

So if you want back in my graces tonight

There's just one thing you gotta do

I wanna hear you say please, baby

Please, baby

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees baby

Swallow up your pride

You know it wouldn't hurt to cry

And say please

Let me hear you say please

You must have thought I was clay in your hands

That I needed the strength of your two legs to stand

Well, baby, guess what, I'm standing just fine

It turns out that I've got a little steel in my spine

I wanna hear you say please, baby

Please, baby

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees, baby

Swallow up your pride

You know it wouldn't hurt to cry

And say please, baby

Please, baby

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees, baby

Swallow up your pride

You know it wouldn't hurt to cry

And say please

Oh baby please, please

Say please

So we finally talked. We agreed to put everything in the past. I even told her that Lydia stuck around. She wasn't too happy about that but we let it go. She reminded me I was still on thin ice but we needed each other more than we needed ourselves. That was more important right now. We all spent the majority of that day sitting around and being lazy. Well, not me and Emilie. We were on kitchen duty. And yes, it was Thanksgiving.

"Will they ever grow up?" Emilie asked walking back into the kitchen. I looked into the living room and listened to my brother's start another insult war.

"Try it one more time." Jerry warned from the chair.

"What you gonna do?" Angel urged throwing another yellow tab at him.

"You'll see." Jerry pointed.

"Big ass teeth. Bite me?" Angel teased. Bobby laughed from the couch and looked over at Jerry.

"You do got some big ass teeth, Jer." he laughed. I shook my head and turned back to see Emilie cutting veggies for the salad. I closed the oven and walked up behind her. I placed my hands on either side of her and set my chin on her shoulder.

"What?" she asked.

I blew the hair off her neck and grinned when she shivered. I cleared her neck and placed a small kiss on it. She set the knife down and leaned her head back onto my shoulder and sighed. I gazed at her exposed neck and was about to kiss it again when I heard a loud crash from the living room. I pulled back as Emilie turned around with a worried look. We walked over to the living room and both groaned. Jerry and Angel were brawling on the floor as Bobby bounced on the couch laughing.

"The Gorgeous Black Ladies of Wrestling, Nitro and Midnight." he yelled. "Nitro got Midnight in a headlock. Get him! Get him! Jerry!" he egged Jerry on. "Midnight trying to get up, but Nitro's on him. Get him!" Bobby finished as the two men stopped fighting.

"Men." Emilie huffed and walked back into the kitchen. I smirked and looked back the three grown but obviously immature men in the room.

"It's done." I told them and walked into the kitchen.

Emilie finished setting up the table and everyone gathered around. We all stood and held hands as Bobby said grace.

"Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, thank you for this day. Thank you for this food we're about to receive and thank you for brining us together. Amen." he recited.

"Amen." The rest of us responded and sat down.

"Pass me the salad, man." Jerry asked. I passed it to him. We started to eat in silence until Jerry spoke up.

"Close your mouth, Angel." he scolded him. "You think you a cow or something?" he finished. Angel scowled at him and slowed down. I slowly looked down at Ma's empty seat and for a minute saw her sitting there.

'Jackie? I know bad things happened to you before you came to me.' she said sweetly and I looked away. 'Hey, look at me. But you're safe now.' she whispered and opened her hands. I stared until she disappeared and Emilie took her place.

"Jackie?" she whispered grabbing my hand. I looked at her and smiled sadly.

"I'm okay." I promised.

Bobby ended up interrupted dinner and getting the guys to go play a game of hockey. I declined to come and stayed home to wash the dishes and clean up. After doing all that and putting more dishes away that Sofi had left in Angel's room I decided to take a shower. I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on and slowly watched the room fill with steam. I stripped off my clothes and stepped in, instantly sighing at the water hitting my skin. It felt good to let it all go, with Jack I mean. We had agreed we were both at fault and put it all behind us. To much was going on for us to keep up this grudge. His mother just died, he needed me. And I watched her die, I needed him. Sure, I had Paisley but she wasn't Jack. And there was a lot he didn't know.

"Emilie?" Jack's voice flowed through the door. I snapped out of thought and nearly shrieked when I realized the water was cold. I jumped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I opened the door and looked at Jack. He smirked and leaned on the frame.

"Yes?" I asked cocking my head.

"Making sure you didn't hurt yourself." he smiled.

"Yep, I'm fine." I smiled back. He looked in the bathroom.

"Water get cold?" he asked.

"Oh yes." I laughed and shut the door. I heard him laugh and walk away as I dried myself off and got dressed. I was shivering as I walked over to his room and jumped next to him on his bed. I climbed under the covers and scooted over to him.

"I lost track of time after I washed my hair." I whispered through chattering teeth. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around me to tuck me under his arm. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Ya tired?" he asked softly. I nodded and let out a tiny yawn. "Go to sleep." he whispered and kissed my head. I nodded again and slowly drifted off into a sound sleep.

I walked through the dark store and looked around. It was eerily quiet and empty. I walked through the aisles and looked for anything or anyone. I passed the counter and gasped looking down.

Samir.

'Help me, Emilie.' he gasped . I covered my mouth and stumbled back into a rack of chips. I turned around to run out and slipped on something. I fell to the ground and groaned as I sat up. I looked at my hands and started to shake.

'Blood.' I mumbled. My eyes looked at the ground and slowly looked towards the end of the room. I let out a sob as I saw her there.

'Evelyn.' I cried and crawled over to her. I picked her head up and set it in my lap. I rubbed her forehead as I cried and looked around.

'Help! Somebody help me!' I screamed. 'No, don't go. No!' I sobbed into her hair.

'Emilie!' someone yelled. I continued to sob as the voice got louder.

"No!" I screamed. I felt two arms go around me and another pair shaking me. I opened my eyes and looked straight into Jack's. I let out a so and fell against him.

"Shhh." he whispered in my ear. "It's okay. It was just a dream." he assured me. I cracked my eyes open over his shoulder and saw a pitiful looking Angel holding his head in Jack's chair. I felt, what I assumed was Bobby's hand, rubbing my back and moving the hair out my face.

"It was so real." I choked out. I tried to sit up but Jack held me to him.

"Stay still. Calm down, first." he whispered. I nodded and tried to calm down. After a few minutes my cries stopped and he slowly let me sit up by myself. I looked at the three men in front of me and looked down at my hands.

"I'm sorry." I whispered wiping my face. Jack shook his head and made me look at him.

"It's okay." he assured me. "But are you?" he asked. I sighed and looked around.

"I was there." I started. They looked at me.

"In the dream?" Bobby asked. I tilted my head and nodded.

"In the dream and when it happened." I confessed. Angel shot his head up and moved closer.

"You were in the store?" he asked. I nodded and held back the next flow of tears.

"I came over that day to talk to her and she asked me to go to the store with her. I was in the bathroom when they men stormed in. Evelyn told me to stay put before they found her." I said letting a few stray tears fall. Jack pulled me to him again and kissed my head.

"Is that what Jerry didn't want to tell us?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah. He wouldn't even talk to me about it. I called the police and they came. They found me and asked who to call." I recanted that night and looked at them. "He was the only one here." I whispered. I saw all three men drop their heads in shame at my last sentence.

"I'm so sorry." Jack apologized. I shook my head.

"You didn't know this would happen, okay? Don't be sorry." I told him. I leaned against him and sighed.

"You wanna go to sleep again?" Jack asked. I closed my eyes and sighed again.

"I'll try." I whispered. I heard Angel and Bobby leave the room. I didn't realize it before but Jack was in the same spot he was in when I fell asleep.

"Did you sleep too?" I asked still closing my eyes. He chuck led and shook his head.

"No, I watched you sleep." he told me. I smirked and looked up at him.

"That's creepy." I informed him. He smirked at me.

"Yeah, but it was worth it. I had forgotten how cute you were when you were sleeping." he whispered running a finger down my jaw.

"Well, maybe you won't have to forget again." I whispered. His stare was so strong and caring it was almost scary.

"I won't. I can promise you that." he vowed kissing my nose. I closed my eyes and laid down to fall asleep and wished that he was right.

I slept until the next morning and was still tired when Jack woke me up. I smiled when I saw that we were still in the same spot.

"Ya know you didn't have to stay." I told him. He smiled and kissed my forehead gently.

"I wanted to. I haven't been near you in forever, I have a lot of time to make up." he winked. I blushed and got out of his bed and arms. I stretched my arms up and felt Jack slip his hands around my waist and pulled me down onto his lap. I let my back relax on his chest as he kissed my shoulder. Suddenly, he stopped.

"What the fuck is that?" he asked ripping the back of my shirt down. I peered over my shoulder and smirked.

"A tattoo." I replied simply. He kept looking at it and traced a finger over it.0 D

"When did you get it?" he asked.

"A few days before Evelyn..." I stopped. He took his eyes off the tattoo and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I like it." he whispered. I smirked and turned to look at him.

"Really?" I asked. He nodded and kissed my jaw.

"Yeah, I like girls with tattoos." he winked. I laughed and stood up.

"You're a guy, you like girls period!" I declared and walked out of his room. I was about to walk over to mine when I spotted Angel's door cracked. I bit my lip and cautiously made my way to his room. I hadn't gotten anytime with him since Sofi had come back into the picture and I hated it.

"Ang?" I called slowly pushing his door open. I peeked in and saw him looking over. He smiled and waved me in when he was it was me.

"Hey Diddle." he greeted softly. I sat next to him on the bed and laid my head on his shoulder.

"How are you?" I asked. He sighed and played with his hands.

"Okay." he replied. I lifted my head and looked at him. "It's just weird. Ya know?"

"Trust me, I know." I smiled softly. He nodded and sighed again.

"I'm sorry, we haven't had the chance to talk. Sofi's kinda clingy." he laughed.

"Yeah, I noticed." I laughed with him. He looked over at me and lifted his arm to hug me.

" I missed you." he whispered into my ear and held me tight. "It made my day to get your letters." I felt tears fill my eyes and looked over into the corner chair.

"My jacket." I giggled. He looked over and smiled.

"Yeah, I still got it. One guy tried to take it and I hit him. He thought I was crazy fighting over some jacket." he laughed. "But it's more than that."

"I'm glad your home, Angel." I told him sincerely.

"Me too, Em. Me too." he said and patted my leg. I heard the door creak open and saw Sofi walk in. She gave me a glare and I rolled my eyes.

"I'll see you later, Angel." I said and hugged him one last time.

I walked past Sofi nudging her with my arm and walked into my room. I opened my bag and looked for clothes but found none clean. I sighed and packed my things up. I needed to go home now. I walked over to Jack's room and he wasn't there so I walked downstairs. I saw the guys walking to the door and I called after them.

"Where you going?" I asked. Bobby looked up and smirked.

"You're coming to." he told me. I gave them a confused look and walked out with them.

"Okay, so where are we going?" I asked.

"Ma's lawyer called. We have to go meet him to get her safety deposit box and stuff. He said there was stuff in there for you too." Angel spoke up. I nodded and slowed down.

"Well, can you drive by my apartment? I need to drop my bags off and change." I asked.

"Yeah, just tell me where it is." Bobby said getting into the car. I slid in beside Jack in the backseat and gave Bobby the directions.

"This is where you live?" Jack asked looking at the nice building.

"Yep. Wanna come up?" I asked the guys. They nodded and got out the car. I walked into the building and up a few floors.

"How do you afford this?" Bobby asked.

"It's in my tuition. It's all college students. A few old people and young couples but mostly students." I told them. "I pay rent just not each month." I explained. They nodded and I stopped at my door. "Paisley lives directly above me. We bang on my roof/her floor to get each other's attention." I laughed.

I pushed the door open and let them in. They walked around and nodded. It was a nice place. It had a nice sized living room when you first walk in. You took a left and there was the kitchen which was very modernized and energy efficient. Yes, even Detroit tries to save the world. To the right leading away from the living room in a tiny hallway with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

"You like living here?" Angel asked.

"Yeah, it's nice." I smiled. "Have a seat, make yourselves at home. I gotta put these in the wash and get changed." I told them and walked off to my bedroom. I walked to my closet and pulled out a pair of grey slack and a white blouse. We're going to see a lawyer so at least one of us should look presentable.

"You staying here now?" Jack asked walking in my room.

"I do live here." I smiled but it quickly faded when I saw his frown.

"I just figured you'd stay at the house for a bit." he mumbled. I smirked and walked over to him. I stood between his legs and played with his necklace.

"Ya know you could always stay here." I offered shyly. He smirked at me and played with the hem of my shirt, lightly touching my stomach.

"All you had to do was ask." he whispered. I smiled and rested my forehead on his.

"Get out." I ordered playfully. He pouted and looked at my clothes behind him.

"Why can't I see the show?" he asked. I smiled and moved away from him.

"Because you just can't. Now go." I demanded again. He kept pouting as he stalked out the room. I quickly got dressed and threw my dirty clothes in the washer. I walked back out to the men and smiled.

"Ready?" I asked. They nodded and we headed out for the lawyer's office.

"Gentlemen, I am truly sorry about your mother. Although I only met Evelyn the one time she made quite an impression. I know it's difficult to deal with mundane financial matters while your heart still grieves for a loved one." Mr. Bradford said while we sat in front of him. Jack was flipping through papers and looked up at him.

"How much do we get?" Jack asked. Bobby slapped the back of his head in an instant and my hand was right behind his.

"Come on, man." Jerry muttered.

"Excuse me." Mr. Bradford whispered getting up and walking away.

"Jack, what the?" Angel started.

"Stupid-ass Jack, what's wrong with you?" Bobby scolded taking the papers away from him.

"What was that?" I asked glaring at him. He shrugged and folded his hands. I wanted to feel bad for him but that wasn't too bright.

"This is the contents of your mother's safety-deposit box." He said setting a box in front of us. "I'll leave you to look through it." he said and walked out. Bobby opened it up and started passing papers around. He handed one to Jack and Jerry.

"Birth certificate." Jack mumbled opening it up. "The adoption papers." he finished after reading it.

"Henry Ford Hospital. So I am from Detroit." Jerry smiled looking at his papers. Bobby kept searching through the box as Angel looked on.

"Lansing, Michigan." Jack mumbled. I reached for his leg under the table and gave his knee a reassuring squeeze.

"My mom was 16?" Jerry asked surprised then shook his head.

"I got any papers in there?" Angel asked looking over Bobby's shoulder.

"No." Bobby said shaking his head. My hear ached for him and he tried again.

"I don't?" he asked sadly.

"No." Bobby said regretfully.

"You got any papers in there?" Angel asked him. I looked to him as he shook his head.

"No." he replied. Jack reached into the box and grabbed a set of tickets.

"Whoa, 1969. Mom went to Woodstock." he read. Jerry grinned and nodded.

"You didn't know Mom was a hippie?" Bobby asked chuckling. I smirked and laughed at the thought of Evelyn wearing flowers and tye-dye.

"Oh, here we go." Bobby mumbled and pulled out a wad of cash.

"I ain't got no papers in there, man?" Angel asked again as Bobby counted the money.

"There's some paper right there." Bobby replied handing him a few bills. Then some to Jerry and pocketing the rest.

"What about me?" Jack asked. Bobby reached into the box and pulled out a rosary and dropped it in Jack's hand. I smirked and shook my head.

"That'll look good on you." He told him.

"Whatever, man. You're fucking with me." Jack muttered.

"Quit crying." Bobby told him. He sifted through the box one last time and shut it.

"I thought you said he had something for me?" I asked. Bobby opened it up and looked confused. Mr. Bradford walked in after that with a manila envelope.

"I forgot to give you this." He said holding it out to me. "I presume you are Miss. Ravin." he smiled. I took the envelope from him and sat back down, the boys were right behind me. I opened it up and poured out the contents. There were a few pictures and a few documents. Jack picked up one and held it out to me.

"Is that you?" he asked. I grabbed the picture and froze. It was the last picture we took before my parents died. Me and Richie were dressed for the play. I felt a tear trickle down.

"Yeah." I chocked out.

"Are those your parents?" Jerry asked.

"Yeah and my brother. Not my real ones but close enough. That was the night they died." I told them smiling. I laid it down and looked through a few more. They laughed at a baby bathtub picture of me when I was two. I finally picked up the documents.

"What's that?" Angel asked.

"The adoption papers when my mom and dad got me and my birth certificate." I told them. I opened the adoption papers and piece of paper fell out. I picked it up and looked at it.

"Looks new. It's not old like the other papers." Bobby commented. I opened it up and read it.

"14232 Rolland Dr. Salem, Mass." I read. Mr. Bradford cleared his throat and looked at me.

"She recently brought that in. Maybe a week before she passed. I 'm not sure what it was for but she was really excited about it." he smiled. "Wanted it to be a surprise for you." I smiled sadly at him and folded it back up. I looked over at Jack with teary eyes.

"Can we go now?" I whispered. He nodded and we stood up again.
