"Dix you can't be on your own like this" Jeff tried getting closer to comfort her, but she just pushed him away.

"I said go Jeffrey" She repeated moving herself further away from him again.

"Dixie I'm not leaving you like this" Jeff knew if he left, she would just brake down on her own he wanted to be there to comfort her and make her feel better. He promised her dad he would look after her, and this is what he intended to do.

"You should leave me," She replied in a moody manner.

"Stop being a stubborn cow, and accept the fact I'm not going anywhere princess" He made himself more comfortable, pulling Dixie towards him. She resisted at first but after several attempts she gave in knowing he wasn't going to let go. Crying herself to sleep on his chest, this was the first time they had shared a bed. Jeff didn't want to leave her, he felt her shiver he wasn't sure if it was the effects of crying to sleep, or being cold so he pulled the cover over her even more just in case. He continued to stroke her hair as she slept, she felt bad about him having lung cancer because he smoked. Jeff knew he was his own person, just as stubborn as his daughter so wouldn't have stopped no matter how hard Dixie tried. He soon felt tired himself and drifted off, still keeping hold of Dixie in his arms.

When Dixie awoke, her eyes were sore from crying in her sleep. She noticed a strange feeling her head wasn't rested on the pillow but Jeff's chest, his arms around her in a tight lock. Then she remembered what had happened the previous night and why that had happened. She was never going to see her dad again; she would never get the chance to make him proud. Dixie wanted her dad to stop smoking, she should have helped him quit then maybe he would still be here, and she would get the chance to make it up to him.

When she looked to Jeff he opened his eyes, giving her a weak smile.

"How you feeling today then princess?" he moved the hair away from her eyes as he spoke.

"How am I meant to feel Jeff?" She said sarcastically, moving herself out of his arms not wanting to be comforted or made to feel better. She got up, going into the bathroom splashing her face with cold water forgetting to shut the door so Jeff followed her in.

"Don't be like this Dix"

"Be like what Jeffrey"

"Your shutting me out, I only want to help" He tried to move closer to hug her, but she went around him avoiding his open arms. Going back into her room, he followed making her feel like a Shepard being followed by his sheep.

"I don't want your help!" She snapped, she didn't know why just all the feelings and emotions getting to her.

"Dixie, please" Jeff hated seeing her like this, he knew she was letting her emotions get to her, all he wanted to do was help her deal with them in a better way.

"Can you just leave me alone" Jeff knew she was getting stubborn, one of her skills. He still kept on, he wanted her to open up to him this way he could help her.

"Dix…"

"JEFFREY JUST DO WHAT IM ASKING AND LEAVE ME ALONE" She shouted, crossing her arms she couldn't understand why Jeff wouldn't leave her. Why he had to feel like he had to help, she felt responsible for her dads death and didn't want anybody's help. She had tears streaming down her face, she just fell onto her bed collapsing in tears. Barley hearing the footsteps behind her, and Jeff rubbing her back in circles.

"It's going to be ok Dix" He said, watching on as she broke down in front of him.

"No its not Jeffrey, I'm responsible for my dad's death"

"You can't think like that"

"Why not? I should have stopped him smoking,"

"He was just as stubborn as you, he wouldn't have given up Dixie" Jeff knew her dad loved his cigarettes, even after finding out about the cancer he didn't cut back but just continued.

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do, trust me Dix I really do" He pulled her up, resting her in his arms. Stroking her hair, and wrapping it in locks around his fingers.

Half an hour later they were both down stairs, Jeff managed to persuade Dixie to eat some breakfast starving herself wasn't going to make the situation any better.

"Do you want to come with me to take Abs for a walk?" Jeff asked as he sat next to her, she always loved taking abs for walks, but now everything that mattered to her just didn't anymore.

"I think I will pass on that and stay here" Dixie was hugging her legs, thinking of all the things she had done in her life that upset her dad, all the arguments all the harsh comments and all the times she let him down.

"Ok, won't be long" Jeff was only going to take abs around the block, he didn't want to leave her alone for long.

"No I will be fine Jeff, take your time" She gave him a weak smile as he put abs lead on, opening the door leading abs out.

"Back in a bit princess"

"Bye Jeff" She replied, she was now on her own like she wanted to be in the first place. When she realised she was thirsty, going into the kitchen something caught her eye. The set of knifes in the corner of the kitchen, she had never thought about doing this before. All the emotions and feelings was setting her on edge, making her not think straight. She pulled out the smallest knife, looking at it for a while then pulling up her sleeve. Some people said it made them feel better, and she desperately wanted to feel better, and was willing to give anything a try. Running the knife across her lower arm watching the blood trickle from the long slim cut she had made, those people were right it did make her feel better.
