-No POV-

"Dad?" Marley asked disbelievingly, the man with light brown hair on the other side of the door nodded slightly.

"Hello Marley" the man mumbled, Marley sucked in a shaky breath and tried to say something but no words would come out. Luckily, her mom saved her and got up off the couch to go see who was at the door.

"Marley sweetie, who's at the do-John?" Mrs Rose eyes widened in shock at seeing her ex-husband and her daughters father standing in her doorway.

"Millie, it's good to see you again" John stated, his face staying stoic. Mrs Rose seemed to recover from her shock and stood up straighter, glaring slightly at the man she had once loved, a very long time ago.

"I wish I could say the same, now I want you to get off my property. Right. Now" she said sternly, John seemed to look a little surprised at that but quickly recovered and went back to showing hardly any emotion.

"Don't you want to know why I came back?" he asked her curiously and Mrs Rose shook her head immediately.

"No, I want you to go" she tells him, trying hard to keep her glare in place. However, John still didn't move and stayed firmly in his spot. After a second of staring at the Rose woman he sighed deeply.

"Millie listen-"he started but got cut off.

"I think she asked you to leave" Kitty voiced and his gaze switched to the blonde girl who was stood a few steps behind Marley and Mrs Rose, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and staring hardly at the man she didn't know standing in the doorway. She may not know him personally, but she knew that Mrs Rose didn't want him here.

"And who might you be?" he asked sighing, rather annoyed at the interruption.

"That doesn't concern you. Now you should do as she says…leave" Kitty's voice was stern and final as she didn't take her gaze off of John. After a minute of John and Kitty not braking eye contact and Mrs Rose and Marley hoping that he would leave, John cleared his throat and took a step backwards.

"Alright, I'll go…but I'll be back" he promised as he turned and started to walk down the street, Mrs Rose sighed and closed the door. Marley, who had been standing there frozen in place the whole time, spun around and ran up to Kitty, jumping in her arms as tears started to leak from her eyes.

"Whoa hey Marley what's wrong? Who was that guy?" Kitty asks softly, soothingly running one hand through Marley's brown hair and the other running up and down her back.

"My dad" Marley sobbed into Kitty's shoulder, clinging onto her for dear life. Kitty gaped for a few seconds before springing into action and began to comfort Marley, her heart breaking at seeing the girl she loved crying uncontrollably.

"Hey, hey it's alright…shhhhh…everything's gonna be alright" Kitty cooed into Marley's hair, closing her eyes as Marley's sobs continued. She wished that she could take the pain away from Marley; she wished that she could do something, anything to make Marley stop hurting. But she couldn't, all she could do right now was comfort Marley and stay with her, hoping that she could make her feel better.

...

When Marley had stopped crying, she had been so tired that as soon as she lied on her bed she was in a deep sleep, passed out from exhaustion. Kitty sighed and lifted Marley's body up slightly so she could put the cover over Marley. Once Marley was warm and comfy, Kitty knelt down at the side of the bed, brushing some of Marley's hair out of her face.

"I love you Marley Rose" she whispered softly, looking at Marley's peaceful, sleeping face with adoration. She leaned up and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, lingering for a few more seconds until she forced herself to pull away and leave the room, giving Marley some peace and quiet.

Kitty sighed tiredly as she walked down the stairs, running her hands across her face.

"You should go home and get some sleep Kitty" Mrs Rose said from her spot on the couch, Kitty looked over in her direction slightly startled.

"No I'm ok, it's Marley I'm worried about" Kitty said with concern across her face, she walked over and flopped down next to Mrs Rose.

"Marley is very…sensitive, I think right now she's more shocked than upset and Kitty she's going to really need you" Mrs Rose replied, placing her hand on Kitty's shoulder smiling sadly.

"Don't worry Mrs Rose, I'll be there for her…um, how are you doing?" Kitty asked softly, Mrs Rose sighed softly before smiling assuredly.

"I'm ok Kitty, little shocked but I'm ok…thank you for earlier" Mrs Rose smiled gratefully; Kitty furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"For what?" Kitty asked softly.

"For getting rid of John, I'm not sure if I could have gotten him to go and I know that Marley's grateful too Kitty, so thank you" Mrs Rose thanked her once again and Kitty smiled softly at her girlfriends mom.

"You're welcome Mrs Rose but it was no problem really" Kitty assured her, Mrs Rose smiled widely at her, placing a hand gently on Kitty's shoulder.

"You are a sweet, honourable girl Kitty; don't let anyone tell you differently" Mrs Rose told her squeezing her shoulder before letting go and standing up off the couch. Kitty stayed silent, smiling a little at the older Rose woman's words.

"Goodnight Kitty" Mrs Rose called from the doorway and Kitty turned around in the chair slightly to see Mrs Rose smiling warmly at her.

"Night Mrs Rose" Kitty smiled back as the Rose woman left the room and padded up the stairs to her bedroom. Kitty leant back against the soft cushions, closing her eyes letting out a tired sigh.

Aww, is the poor baby tired?

So not in the mood right now

Fine, Kitty thought as she lifted herself off the comfy couch and trudged her way up the stairs.

-Kitty's POV-

Once I opened up the door to Marley's bedroom, I smiled at the sight of an adorable sleeping Marley and walked over to carefully sit down next to her lying form on the bed. I leaned my back against the headboard and ran my fingers through Marley's hair, making a soft sigh leave the brunettes parted lips.

A smile pulled at my lips as Marley unconsciously cuddled closer into me, her hands clutching at my shirt. I continued to stare at her lovingly for a few moments before my annoying thoughts once again interrupted me.

Y'know it's creepy to stare at people when they sleep?

Did I not say that I wasn't in the mood?

Your point?

Conscience I'm not in the mood for you!

Well

I'm knocked out of my thoughts when Marley shifts slightly and her eyes flutter open. My fingers don't stop their gentle movement through her brown hair as she sighs softly and moves her gaze up to stare at my, the corner of her lips lifting up slightly.

"Hi" she rasped out, her voice cracking a little from all the crying she had been doing earlier. That thought made me frown slightly.

"Hey…how are you feeling?" I asked her quietly, as to not risk waking Mrs Rose up. Marley sighed, closing her eyes and snuggling more into my neck as I wrapped my arms more around her protectively.

"Better now that you're here" she mumbled and I felt my heart flutter at her words, kissing the top of her head and lingering slightly before pulling away as she snuggled even more into me.

"That's good, now you should get some sleep; it's been a long night" I tell her softly and I feel her nod in agreement against my neck. As I listen to her breathing even out and I'm sure that she's asleep, I let my eyelids slip closed and finally succumb to a deep slumber.

I sigh heavily as I shut my locker, it had been a few days since Marley's dad had showed up and luckily he hadn't come back, but that didn't make Marley less sad or angry. I'd never really seen Marley angry before, so it was kinda weird when I did. A day after her dad came back, she started to wonder why he did come back and why he left in the first place, I managed to calm her down but I never thought that I would see Marley Rose angry; she's too sweet and forgiving.

I'm worried about her; this whole dad thing seems to be getting her stressed and I'm trying my best to keep her mind off it and make her feel better but it only works for a little while. It kills me to see her sad and I have her father to blame for it, which means I already don't like him and I'm very close to hating him.

"Uh, hey Kitty" speaking of people I don't like, I turn around to see Jake standing there with his hands in his pockets. I raise my eyebrow at him in wonder.

"Hi" is my simple and short reply; I turn away from him, starting to walk down the hallway hoping that he'll get the message and leave me alone. Apparently he didn't because he started to walk after me.

"Wait, Kitty I just wanted to tell you that you're wrong about me and Marley, I'm not just gonna hump and dump her alright, I like her" he states, that makes me halt abruptly and spin around to stare at him hardly. I continue to stare at him for a few more seconds, searching to see if he's telling the truth which I'm pretty sure he isn't, before speaking.

"No you don't" I tell him, quickly walking away before he has the chance to say anything else. As if I haven't got enough problems already, with the special teacher, Marley's dad and now I have to worry about Jake taking Marley from me!

Would you calm down! Marley's not gonna leave you for Jake

You don't know that…

Do you trust Marley?

Of course I do

Then trust that she loves you and she wouldn't leave you

…Okay conscience you're right

Aren't I always?

No

I think as I walk through the cafeteria doors to see Marley sitting on her own at a table, picking at her food. I sigh and take a few quick steps towards her and sit in the chair next to her.

"Hey" I grin at her and her head snaps up in surprise before I wide smile spreads across her now happy face.

"Hi" she breathes out, my eyes flicker down to her food to see that she's barely eaten. She notices this and places her hand on my arm.

"Kitty I'm ok I promise" she promises me and I stare at her for a few seconds before letting it go and nodding at her.

"So um, I've been wondering…well ever since we got…together, we haven't, well I mean I haven't taken you out on a real date and I was just wondering if you would um, if you would like to…" I nervously talk, not being able to say what I want to say as Marley starts to giggle at me and places her hand on my arm.

"Kitty calm down ok? It's just me, now I think you were about to ask me something?" she says with a hopeful look on her face, I grin as we laugh slightly.

"Marley Rose would you like to-"I get cut off by a chair being scraped along the floor next to us as someone sat down on it.

"Hey Marley" Jake smirked at MY girl.

Hmm is that jealousy I hear?

What? Of course not!

Yeah okay, whatever helps you sleep at night

Oh just- just shut up!

"Oh um, hi Jake" Marley mumbles, looking a little disappointed which makes me smile a little. Ha! Take that Jake! She's disappointed to see you and she wanted ME to ask her out!

You're getting really sad

…Whatever

"So I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me this Friday" he asks with a smug grin on his face that I would just love to punch.

Whoa, easy tiger

Would you get outta here?!

"Jake I thought we talked about this, I don't want to be in a relationship right now" Marley sighs as I glare at Jake, though he doesn't seem to notice because he still has his hopeful look directed on Marley.

"I know okay? I know that you're still self-conscious about your body but-"he gets cut off by a pretty pissed looking Marley.

"Wait, what? Jake that's not the reason I don't want to go out with you, the reason I don't want to go out with you is because I don't like you in that way" Marley states and stands up from her chair abruptly, storming out of the room. Jake looks confused, whereas I don't even try to hide the grin on my face at my amazing, beautiful girlfriend.

Jake's gaze turns to me and when he sees my grin her furrows his eyebrows, giving me a questioning look. I just shrug my shoulder at him, my grin growing wider.

"Shut up" he mumbles and I can't contain my laughter this time. Jake huffs and throws one of Marley's fries at me, I catch it with my mouth and chew on it still grinning as he stands up and walks away in the opposite direction Marley had gone.

I rub my temples softly, letting out a tired sigh as I walk out the room where I had just had my first lesson with the special teacher. It was hard but she said that I was already making progress with my slowness and that if I keep working hard it should be completely gone in a couple months.

Instead of going to my locker, I head for Marley's. I smile widely when I see her standing there in the empty hallway, rearranging things inside her locker with a cute, concentrated look on her face. I walk slowly towards her, trying to be quiet and softly lean against the locker next to hers. I'm sort of surprised she hasn't noticed me yet but she does look pretty concentrated in whatever she's doing inside that locker of hers.

"There's my little badass" as soon as the words leave my mouth, Marley jumps a foot in the air and puts her hand over her heart, gasping in shock. I start to laugh hysterically at the look on her face as she recovers from her shock and slaps me on the arm playfully.

"Kitty you scared the hell out of me!" she said although there was a small smile on her face, so I knew that she wasn't really mad. My laughs turn into tiny chuckles as I rest my shoulder back on the lockers and Marley shuts her locker giving me her full attention.

"I'm sorry" I smile and look around making sure no one's there. When I know that the coast is clear, I bend down and give her a soft peck on the cheek, when I pull away her small smile has turned into a big bright one.

"Okay fine, I forgive you" she sighs playfully and I fist pump making her giggle cutely. We turn to start walking down the hallway towards the kitchen to go see Marley's mom.

"So how was your first session?" Marley asks me as we walk, I sigh with a small smile.

"It was okay, the special teacher said that I'm already making progress and that I should be better in around a couple months if I keep going there every day and working hard" I explain to her and she smiles, nudging me with her shoulder lightly.

"Hey, that's great. I know you can do this Kitty" she says happily, making me smile at her.

"What would I do without you?" I ask softly, her eyes shine brightly and she shrugs her shoulders adorably making me laugh a little.

"So how are you feeling?" I ask her, she sighs a little and looks down. I stare at her, patiently waiting for her answer.

"I'm…as good as you can be I guess" she tells me after a few seconds of silence, I stop in front of her and lift her chin up so I can look into her eyes. I can see the sadness in them making me sigh softly, I quickly pull her into a tight hug and she clings to my hoodie tightly, nuzzling her face into my shoulder.

"Hey everything's going to be okay alright?" I mumble into her hair, stroking it softly as my other hand runs up and down her back comfortingly.

"It's just…He hurt me when he left, n-not physically of course but emotionally he really hurt me and I-I don't know if I can be hurt again Kitty" she mutters into my shoulder and I can tell by the tone of her voice that she's trying to hold back her tears.

"He's not gonna hurt you again Marley, I won't let him" I promise her softly, she nods her head into my shoulder as I pull her closer to me, trying to show her how much I love her with my actions instead of my words.

I sit down on my bed with a heavy sigh; thinking about all the trouble Marley's dad is causing the sweet, Rose family. Before he came back, everything was finally going right for once, me and Marley were happy, Mrs Rose was happy. He's ruining everything and I won't let him.

But as much as I want to, I can't interfere just yet. All I can do right now is try and make Marley feel better and I have an idea on how to do that. I get out my phone and dial a number that I hadn't dialled in…well actually I'd never dialled this number. After 3 rings the person picks up.

"Hey yeah it's Kitty, listen I need you to do something"

I knock on the Rose's front door 3 times and after waiting patiently for around 10 seconds it opens showing a cautious looking Marley, but her eyes light up when she sees that it's me standing there, and I can see her body relax slightly. I guess she must have thought that it could have been her dad.

"Kitty? What are you doing here?" she asks me curiously and I smile at her softly.

"As much as I love comforting you, I figured you could use a friend right now" I simply say and step to the right as Unique comes up from the side of me and walks up to a surprised Marley, bringing her into a big, friendly hug.

"Hey girl, listen Kitty told me what happened and I know just the thing to cheer you up. Slumber party!" Unique exclaims happily and Marley laughs and sniffs slightly, but this time they're happy tears which makes me smile. Marley looks at me where her head is resting on Unique's shoulder as she hugs her best friend.

'I love you' she mouths to me, smiling brightly. I grin at how happy she looks.

'I love you' I mouth back and stare at the girl I'm in love with and her best friend hugging tightly, before stepping back and spinning on my heel walking down the street. Happy and relieved that my girlfriend feels happy again.

As I'm walking down Marley's street I bump into someone and I quickly go to apologize before I realise who it was I bumped into.

"Hey I'm sorr-hey wait a minute, you're Marley's father" I point at him in realisation, I had caught a quick glimpse of him when he had visited the Rose residence a few days ago and this was definitely him.

"It's John to you…whoever you are" he says to me and goes to walk around me before I grab his arm and pull him back in front of me roughly, he looks a little startled and I glare at him.

"Listen John, I know where you're going and I really suggest that you don't. Leave. Marley. Alone." I say sternly and he looks annoyed and even a little angry.

"She's my daughter, who are you to tell me what to do?" he asks and I tighten my grip on his arm.

"I'm her…friend, and you didn't have a problem leaving her 5 years ago, so why is it so hard now?" I ask him hardly, I knew it was a low blow but I don't understand how anyone could leave someone as sweet and innocent as Marley. He starts to glare at me and rips his arm out of my hold, pointing a finger at my chest.

"You don't know anything about me kid, so don't go assuming things" he snarls and goes to walk past me again but I do the same as before and grab his arm shoving him back in place.

"I know that you left Marley and Mrs Rose without something as little as an explanation" I tell him, keeping my hard gaze locked on his.

"I know that you hurt Marley and no one can hurt her and get away with it…but you did" I tell him, the tone of my voice staying even and this seems to make him a little angrier, but I don't give him the chance to say anything.

"And trust me John, if you hurt her again…you won't get off so easy" I tell him, poking him in the chest hardly making him stumble a couple steps backwards.

"Is that a threat?" he asks me, his voice staying even just like mine although I could see in his eyes that he was angry and even a little scared. I shake my head softly and step a little closer to him, looking him dead in the eyes.

"No…that's a promise" I tell him and he gulps a little, not saying anything. I stare at him hardly and he turns around slowly, walking back the way he came. I stare at his slowly disappearing figure, making sure that he doesn't turn around and once I know that he's gone I turn around and walk the other, longer way to my house. Even though John had gone tonight, I knew he would back again soon.

-Marley's POV-

I laughed loudly and rolled onto my back as Unique finished her story about something that happened with a stupid teacher in her class today. We began to breathe heavily after a minute of laughing hysterically. I sat up to face her as we both sat next to each other on my bed. My mom had been a little hesitant at first but then decided to let us have the sleep-over since she thought that it would help me cheer up, and man, was she right.

I can't believe Kitty did this for me, it's like she knew exactly what would cheer me up when I didn't even know myself. Gosh, I just love her so much.

"So Marley girl, what's all this stuff about your dad?" Unique asks me softly suddenly getting a slightly serious look on her face; I sigh softly and start to fiddle with my fingers looking down at them.

"He uh, he came back a few days ago and I don't know, I guess I'm a little…shocked" I explain and look up when Unique places a comforting hand on mine; she's smiling at me softly.

"Hey, I'm sure it'll all come around…I mean you have me and you have Kitty" Unique states and I smile brightly at the mention of my blonde girlfriend. Unique seems to notice this as a small smirk makes its way onto her face.

"Speaking of the wild-cat, how are you two?" Unique asks excitedly and I giggle slightly at the nickname Unique had given Kitty.

"We're great…wonderful…she's wonderful" I tell her smiling and Unique squeals excitedly and moves closer to me.

"Okay come on, tell me everything" she says to me and I smile brightly, happy that I can talk about my amazing girlfriend with Unique again.

"She's just being so sweet and caring and charming all the time. And she's being so understanding with my situation and she's comforted me and made me feel better and…God, Unique I just love her so much" I say and we both squeal and giggle together happily.

"Oh my girl's in love!" she exclaims excitedly and I nod happily, my wide smile threatening to split my face.

"I am, I so am! When I'm with I feel like we're the only two people in the world and when she kisses me I feel like…like I'm flying" I sigh dreamily and fall backwards onto my bed, spreading my arms out whilst smiling brightly.

"Aw Marley I'm happy for you girl, you deserve this" Unique tells me softly and I look at her to see her smiling at me. I smile widely back and sit up once again to hug my friend.

"Thanks Unique, I love you" I mumble into her shoulder smiling, other than Kitty Unique was my very best friend.

"I love you too girl" Unique replies, squeezing me once before we pull away with matching smiles on our faces. Finally things are going good again.

I chew on my toast as my mom and Unique talk at the kitchen counter, a knock on the door interrupts our conversation and I put my piece of toast down on my plate before getting up out of my chair to answer it.

"I'll get it" I tell my mom and Unique and take a few quick paces to the door; I figured it was Kitty which made an unconscious smile appear on my face. Although when I opened the door, my thoughts happened to be wrong and the smile was wiped off my face.

"John?" I say confused as to why he was here again, he had a confused look on his face also, probably because I called him John instead of dad. I had decided a few days ago that I would call him John since he wasn't much of a father to me anyway.

"Marley, it's nice to see you and so…grown up too" he smiled at me but I didn't return it, I had expected to feel sad that he was here but all I felt right now was…anger.

"What do you want?" I ask him bluntly, he seemed a little startled that I asked him that which made me a little confused. What, was he just expecting me to jump in his arms, happy that my dad had finally returned? Because that was most definitely not going to happen.

"I-I came to see you" he told me and I shook my head and went to close the door.

"Well I don't want to see you" I tell him, shutting the door but he stops it with his hand.

"Wait Marley, I came to check up on you and your mom, to see how you were getting on" he explained and I laughed bitterly.

"You mean to see how we were getting on 5 years after you left us without any explanation" I spat out and he sighed looking down.

"Marley I didn't belong here" he told me softly and I look at him confused.

"What do you mean you 'didn't belong here'?" I ask him, he shakes his head at me.

"I didn't belong in this family, I thought I did but I didn't. Look Marley, you and Millie deserve better than me that's why I left and I couldn't tell you because I knew that you both would deny it and persuade me to say…I left because I wasn't ready to be a dad and I knew I would just fail you…I left for you and your mom" he tells me and I find myself not being able to speak for a few seconds, confused and hurt. That's no reason to leave your family!

"Then why did you come back?" I asked him bluntly.

"I already told you, to see how you two were doing" he sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. I couldn't believe what I was hearing; my father left me because he didn't think he could be a father? And now he's back just to 'see how we were doing', like an old friend from school would do?

"I want you to leave" I tell him, my face rid of any emotion. I'm trying to keep calm and not blow up on him, I wasn't sad anymore, just angry and I wanted him to go so things could go back to the way they were before. Just me and my mom, no dad.

"What?" he asked surprised, what did he think I would say? That I would just forgive him for leaving me for 5 years?!

"Leave and don't come back" I tell him sternly before slamming the door in his face; I turn around and lean my back against it, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. The corner of my lips tug up in the tiniest of smiles, I wasn't over the moon but I was happy that my father might finally go and now that I know why he left, I realise that I don't need him. Me and my mom are doing just fine and I have Kitty and Unique now, the perfect family.

-No One's POV-

A happy Marley walks through the double doors of McKinley High and looks around for her secret girlfriend. Once she spots Kitty at her locker, she smiles brightly and skips up to her.

"Whoa" Kitty says startled as Marley jumps onto her, wrapping her in a big hug. When Kitty recovers from her shock, she hugs Marley back laughing slightly.

"Hello to you too" Kitty smiles and pulls away from the hug, going back to getting books from her locker. Marley smiles brightly and leans against the locker next to Kitty's, both her hands holding onto her backpack straps.

"So what's got you so happy?" Kitty asked, shutting her locker door and leaning against it facing Marley.

"Well, I think I just got my dad to finally leave" Marley smiles, looking a little relieved. Kitty's mouth opened in shock, she wondered why Marley was so happy about this but she decided that she was just happy that Marley was happy.

"That's a good thing right?" Kitty asked unsure and Marley giggled nodding her head as the two turned around and headed for Marley's locker.

"Yes it's a great thing, he came over earlier and told me that the reason he left me and my mom was because he didn't think that he deserved this family and that he didn't feel like he could be a father and then he said that he only came back just to 'see how we were doing'" Marley grumbled, opening up her locker while Kitty looked at her trying to process all this information in the time space of a minute.

"Wow…what a dick" Kitty said and Marley giggled, slapping Kitty's arm.

"Hey, language!" she exclaimed making them both laugh softly.

"So you're okay?" Kitty asked her girlfriend smiling, she was really glad to see Marley laugh and look somewhat free again.

"Y'know what? I'm more than ok. I realised that I don't need my dad, me and mom got on more than fine when he wasn't around and now I have Unique…and you" Marley smiled at Kitty closing her locker once she'd got her books out and Kitty smiled at her softly.

'I love you' Kitty mouthed to her, making Marley's smile grow in size and happiness. She wrapped her arms around Kitty's shoulders once again.

"I love you too" she whispered into Kitty's ear making the blonde girl grin into her girlfriends shoulder. The bell for first period interrupted their moment, making them break apart. Kitty took Marley's books from her, making the brunette smile brightly and they walked down the hall together.

"Thank you for being there" Marley said before leaning up and placing a quick peck on Kitty's cheek, the rest of the students having already left the hallway to go to first period. Kitty blushed a little and turned her head to look at the girl she loved.

"Always" she mumbled, smiling before the two made their way to class, happy that everything was going back to the way it was.

Kitty sighed happily, walking down Marley's street, having stayed there for dinner after school. She looked up from the ground and what she saw made her eyes harden. When the person walked past her, she turned around and grabbed him by his shirt, slamming him into the tree beside her.

"What the hell are you still doing here?" Kitty growled at John as he struggled to break free, seeing that Kitty wasn't going to let him go any time soon he sighed and stopped struggling.

"Let go of me kid before I do something I might regret…actually I'll probably enjoy it" he threatened, glaring at the girl he didn't know, annoyed that she kept showing up everywhere.

"Listen John and listen closely. Marley. Doesn't. Want you here. And neither does Mrs Rose, so you're gonna leave. Now" Kitty said sternly, glaring at the man she was holding up against the tree. Before he had a chance to speak Kitty continued.

"Leave town tonight. Marley and Mrs Rose were doing just fine without you before, so I'm sure they're gonna be just fine if you leave now and don't return or hurt either of them ever again…and so help me God if you do, you're gonna wish you never came back" Kitty finishes, her glare sharpening making John let out a visible gulp and he nodded his head vigorously.

"Okay, alright…I'll go" he said putting his hands up in surrender, he went to turn around but Kitty stopped him once again, grabbing him and turning him around.

"Oh and one more thing…don't ever threaten me again" she told him, her glare hardening making him look away. She didn't wait for him to say anything and turned around, walking back down the street as John sighed in relief that the girl hadn't hurt him.

As Kitty continued to walk back to her own house, a smile formed on her face as she thought that John would definitely be leaving for good now, she could see in his eyes that he was a little afraid and when he said he would go he was telling the truth. She sighed happily, knowing that Marley and her mom would be happy again, and go back to normal. To the way things were.
