AN: sory it took a while but here it is.

Gwen's POV

It's been 3 months and we are still in New Jersey. I am done with my training now and can go outside for no more than 3 hours. I am pretty excited about that. But after 3 hours of constant sun, I begin to burn so I still need to be carful. Trent has a job as an insurance agent. He leaves at 8 and comes at 6. I can't work yet so I started to paint and sketch while I am alone. I'd be busy with my dog but Bridgett took him when I was a new born and I never saw him again. He became very attached to her and her children. Today I am going to go shopping. I don't know how much longer I'll be here but I am sick of the ugly décor.

The mall was usual, crowded, children crying, people buzzing around, mall Goths giving death glares. That used to be me, but I got better things to do. So I finished buying enough décor for one room, and have some time left. I decided to wander into Victoria's Secret since all my lingerer has been torn to shreds and I have one left.

So here I am driving down the turn pike in my black Honda when I run something over. I pull over and see I have a flat tire. Perfect. I take my cell phone out and call Trent.

"Hello beautiful." He greets.

"Trent I need help." I responded.

"What happened?' he said with out missing a beat.

"I have a flat tire and I don't know how to change it." I said looking at the tire. "And to make things better the sun is beating down on me." I finished.

"Gwen I can't come. Call someone else, I think Bridgett isn't working and she knows how to change a tire." Trent finished.

"Why not you?" I asked slightly annoyed.

"Because I have a lot of work to do. I would if I could." He said. I sighed.

"Fine. I'll call Bridgett." I said.

"Love you." He said laughing slightly.

"Love you to. Bye." I said before hanging up.

But just my luck Bridgett is having child issues, I didn't bother asking. Courtney doesn't know, nor do the other girls. And I don't have my insurance card with me. I walked the floor around my car, my black heals getting stuck now and a then in cracks. Finally a car pulls over. Ok I am not thrilled about having a stranger help me, but if I don't get home soon, people will see me smoking and burn.

"Need help?" came a woman's voice. I looked into the car and almost collapsed. My knees went week, my eyes watery, and my stomach in ropes. Of all the cars to stop and help me, this was my parent's car.

"Do you need help miss?" My father asked. I pushed back the tears and answered them.

"Can you change a tire?" I asked. He smiled and got out. My parents were always helpful people; this isn't the first time they've done this. They can't recognize me though due to my wig.

"I'm Marian. What's your name?" my mother asked. I needed to lie.

"Emily London." I said.

"And what's a pretty lady doing here?" my father asked as he jacked the car.

"I was just buying something for my house. Thanks so much. My husband was working and I don't know what your doing." I said looking at my dad as he smiled.

"Married?" my mom said. I flashed her, my ring and she gasped. "Where are you from? You look familiar but I can't put my finger on it." My mom said.

"Vegas." I said. "We moved here 3 months ago." I finished. My mom seemed shocked when I said Vegas and I am pretty sure why.

"My daughter went down there." She said. "She died about 4 months ago in a car crash." My mom said holding back tears.

"I am so sorry. I'm sure she's in a better happier place now." I said trying to comfort her. I am so tempted to take off my wig and let her no I am ok. To tell her I am alive and well. But I know I can't do that.

"All done." My father said sliding from under the car.

"Thank you so much." I said taking out a twenty. "Here, please take this." Of course my father declined, and I reoffered, but after about five minutes he accepted. Ok I know its weird to pay my dad, but I kept in mind I'm not their daughter I'm a stranger and I don't want to be rude.

"Thank you so much again; I could have been stuck here for hours." I said as I got back in my car.

"No problem sweetie." My mom said before she drove off. This was really hard. She called me sweetie. I just wanted to let her know I'm ok. But there isn't a way.

Back home I was redecorating the kitchen when Trent came home for work. He walked in with roses and chocolates. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you today." He said hugging me.

"I'm sorry I got do caught up in decorating I forgot to cook." I said putting the roses away in a crystal vase.

"That's ok. I don't want food." He said, I turned around to meet his lust filled eyes.

"I bought this at the mall today. Like?" I said moving the vase.

"Its beautiful." He said into my neck.

"How about these plates." I said turning around to show him.

"Astonishing." He said putting me up on the table.

"I got something else I want to show you." I said trying to get away, but he growled in frustration. "Fine you don't want to see it." I said, holding up one of the items I got from Victoria's Secret. "I thought you'd like it, but I can just return it and…" I said turning around but he spun he around to face him.

Oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

I snuggled closer to him as the full moonlight entered the windows. "I saw my parents today." I said randomly. He looked at me concerned filled eye. "My dad fixed my flat tier." I finished.

"What? Gwen I am so sorry." He said turning to look me in the eyes.

"It's alright. They didn't know it was me." I laughed.

"But it must have been hard." He said.

"Very." I sighed. "But everything is ok now." I concluded.

"If you say so." He said kissing my lips tenderly before we both let the dark night pull its sleeping spell on us.
