I decided to update again! :)

my internet might not be on :( but i will update ASAP!

Joey had left John and Melina's house with a broken nose. Slamming the door shut; John had walked back into the house. Why did he explode like that? Why did he feel so protective and angry when it came to Melina getting hurt? Did he love her? He had never felt that way when it came to a woman in his life.

Blood still oozing it's way down his face as he saw the glass that had cut his forehead and it still had the blood on it. Picking it up slowly he watched as he remembered almost stabbing Joey with it. Slowly turning around to come face-to-face with Melina.

"I'm sorry for breaking your glass table Melina…" he mumbled looking at the floor

Tilting his chin up as he looked down at the floor "Why did you…defend me like that?"

John sighed heavily as the blood continued to ooze it way down. "Well…you are the one that actually gave me a home and a better life"

Melina grabbed the spare towel that was on the counter and gently pressed it to his forehead while John held his hand up and held it there. "Why do you mean by that?"

"Melina…" John said "All I wanted was a family; all I wanted was to be loved as a son or let a kid love me as a father"

Did John ever had a family?

"Do you have a family?" Melina asked carefully unaware of John's reaction.

"My…dad was never in my life. I only saw him once when I was 2 years old…" John said teary eyed "When I was…5 years old…my mom became a drug addict and then w-we became poor and we didn't have a roof over our head…we barely had food; that's why every time I go to school…I try to get as much as I can on my lunch tray because I knew I was going to be hungry later. Then when I was 18, the police forced my mom to go to rehab and I didn't have anyone to turn to and ask for help. Before I met you Melina…my life was hard."

Melina pulled John into a hug as he was crying now. I had no idea his life was like that. That must be the reason why he wanted to be in Sierra's life.

"Thank you Melina…" he whispered

"For what?"

"For being there for me and helping me…when no one else was"

Pulling away from the hug the she had giving him, she was surprised in what John did next.

John had kissed her...

i tried to make it a little sweet and sad. :')
