"Please. I really need to talk to you. Can we just be adults and talk this through?" He begs.

"Go ahead and and say what you need to get out." I say with my hands still on my face.

"Are you going to talk to me too?" He asks.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace." I say getting impatient.

"Ok. After I left I felt a terrible aching in my heart and I was just so unhappy. I thought about you a lot. I thought about how awful I was to you and I realized I had no right to leave you alone. Then when everyone thought you were pregnant I was excited and scared. I was scared that you wouldn't want me there to be a dad but I was excited to have a little me running around. That made me realize that I want to be with you. I never want to be away from you. Please, take me back." He explains

"So what you're saying is that you left me and flew across the globe out of anger, thought I was pregnant and now you want me back?" I say finally looking at him.

"Yes. I was stupid to leave you and now I'm asking for a second chance to be with you." He says with a smile.

"Ha. Ha. . . Ha." I laugh sarcastically. "I'd love to give you another chance but I'm not going to."

"Why not? I promise to be a better person and to listen and not to leave you again." He says quickly.

"I just can't. You don't understand it. I'm not going back to you and that's that. You broke my heart and I don't need that right now. Like you said, we need a break." I explain. I stand up and leave the room. I go out to the backyard and run down to the ocean shore. I sit in the sand and cry. "Damn it Drew! Can't you help me?! In any way!" A quick breeze rushes over me. It felt like the breeze spoke to me. I tried to listen.

"Stay steady." It spoke. The breeze was speaking to me!

"What needs to stay steady?!" I cry out.

"Dont push away." It says.

"Don't push what away?!" I sob.

"Love friend. Love family." It says.

"Can you be more clear?" I ask.

"Lily!" Yells a familiar voice. I look around but I'm alone. "Lily!" I turn towards the water and inch forward. I look down at the water and cover my mouth at what I see.

"Drew?" I try to say but it comes out as a whisper. In the water I saw my deceased older brother.

"Just remember what I told you." He says with a smile.

"I don't understand it. What does holding a car at 3 RPM'S have to do with me?" I ask confused.

"It isn't the RPM's. It's to keep you at a steady pace. Don't go to fast. Sara taught you not to push away those who love you and Jewels said don't abandon those who have been there for you." He explains.

"But what is this about?" I ask.

"You may not need it now but the time will come. Just remember a steady pace." He says. He starts to disappear.

"Wait! Don't leave me yet! I have more to ask you!" I yell as I look into the ocean. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I gasp. "What the hell Liam!"

"Sorry! I just wanted to make sure you were ok." He apologizes. I sigh. "Who were you talking to?"

"I. . . I was talking to Drew. I saw his reflection in the water and we were talking." I admit. He looks at me confused. Then I see his face shift to brotherly mode.

"Maybe you need to lay down or get something to eat." He says as he helps me up. I nod my head and walk with him.

"You aren't crazy Jade." The wind whispered to me. I smile a little and walk with Liam to the house. I find Niall deep in conversation with Sara. I take the opportunity and sneak Sara's phone off the charger. I take it upstairs and go through her contacts. I find her boyfriend's number and text him.

To: My Boo <3
Hey, you should come over to my sister's house tonight. I'm so bored and lonely since I moved in.

From: My Boo <3
Ok, is it that beach house?

To: My Boo <3
Yeah, just use the front door. She doesn't care if you come over. She's cool like that.

From: My Boo <3
Ok, I'll be there in 5 minutes.

I smile and walk back downstairs. I put her phone back on the charger. I cross the living room and sit in between Liam and Harry. I watch in disgust as Niall and Sara shamelessly flirt. In retaliation I started to play with Harry's hand. He looked at me surprised.

"Lily, I think Niall wants you back. Don't mess that up with me." He whispers in my ear.

"If he did he wouldn't be flirting with my sister." I whisper back. He hesitates before playing with my hand. We end up holding hands. I scoot closer to him and lay my head on his shoulder. I was satisfied by the looks i was receiving from Niall. They were of anger, hurt, and confusion. Then the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it!" I say happily as I run to the door. I was excited to see what my sister's boyfriend looked like. I opened the door to see a tall blonde boy with skater hair. He had gorgeous blue eyes and nice thick muscles.

"Josh?! What are you doing here?!" Sara exclaims.

"Who is Josh?" Liam asks confused.

"Hello, I'm Lily, Sara's sister. You must be her boyfriend. I'm excited to finally meet you! Please come in." I say wwith a wicked smile.

"Josh why are you here?" Sara asks confused.

"You texted me and told me to come over." he says as if stating the obvious.

"No I didn't." She says.

"Nope. I did." I say smiling. "I was just so interested in your boyfriend." I say emphasizing the word 'boyfriend.'

"You are an evil bitch Lily! I hate you!" She yells. She grabs Josh's hand and the keys to my brother's car.

"Put those keys back Sara!" I yell as she walks to the garage.

"Go suck big fat monkey balls you stupid fucking whore!" She snaps. I run to the garage when I hear the car start. She was stealing my car!

"Don't take that car! If you wreck it you might as well get used to living in hell because that's what your life is going to be!" I yell as she leaves.

"Die!" She yells. She will get over it. She has to come back. I walk back inside and sit on the couch satisfied.

"So, what happened?" Zayn asks.

"She stole my favorite car and told me to die." I say as i check my nails.

"And you let her?!" Louis exclaims.

"Yeah. She will be back. It's not like I'm worried she isn't coming back." I say casually. "She isn't my daughter. If she was I guarantee she would never act like that."

"So, tomorrow how about we get the stuff from your old apartment." Niall suggests. I nod my head. I turn and see I'm not sitting by Liam anymore. It's Niall now. I'm between Niall and Harry.

"Yeah. Then she has to work Friday night and we can all go back to London Saturday morning." Harry says with a smile.

"Not exactly. Lily and i had made plans to watch her niece and nephew for the weekend." Niall says as he tries to ggrab my hand. I pull away.

"Change of plans. I'm watching the kids alone." I say.

"You can't do that! They already call me Uncle Niall! I have to be there!" He argues.

"Well, maybe I don't want my brother's children exposed to your fame. I don't want them to grow dependent on someone who isn't even family and isn't guaranteed to be apart of it. If it were Liam would be different." I say back rudely.

"Oh I forgot to ask you about this earlier, Liam!" Harry says. "How come yout never told us that you and Lily dated?"

"What?!" Louis, Niall, and Zayn chorus in surprise.

"Oh dear." I whisper to myself.

"Uhh- we uhh- it's in the past and we have grown past it." He struggles to explain.

"You dated Liam but won't take me back!" Niall asks angrily.

"I dated Liam in high school!" I yell at him. "It's your fault for leaving in the first place!"

"I left because you said you'd rather be with Harry!" He yells at me. I stand up and pace for a second.

"Why is it that everything is a fight when it comes to you?!" I ask.

"Because you are so complicated!" He yells back.

"I'm complicated?" I ask astonished. "Then it's going to be pretty fucking complicated to gst me back now!" I yell as i run to my rroom. I slam my door and take my shoes off. I was so angry I threw my shoes at the wall. I put on a pair of skinny jeans, a white v-neck, and my leather riding jacket. Next i put on my black combat boots. I grab my riding gloves and walk downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Asks Louis. I completely ignore him and go Into the garage I grab my already packed duffel bag, my helmet, and jump onto my black ninja street bike. I turn it on and take off. I know exactly where I'm going. Once I get there I park my bike and remove my helmet. I hang the helmet on my handlebars and enter the building.

"LJ! Long time no see! What are your doing here?" Asks my brother's old friend Jake.

"Hey, Jake! I'm just working out the anger." I say as i approach the woman's locker room. He laughs and I take my duffel bag and pull out my tight workout tank top and my bicycle shorts. I dress in them then tie my hair back. I put my knuckle tape on and exit the locker room.

"I'm going to start you out on your kicks." Jake said as he puts on his trainer's gloves. I nod in response. I climb into the boxing ring. I quickly stretch out my legs. "Ok. Left!" I kick up my left foot and hit his gloves. "Right!" I do the same thing but with my right leg. We go through my kicks for 20 minutes. "Hydrate, recruit." I laugh.

"Your kicks have improved. I hope that your punches have improved as well." He says. I smile and swig some water from the bottle he gave me.

"Trust me, I did. So, let's get back to training already. I've missed the ring." I say.

"At ease private. We just trained ttwenty minutes straight and you don't want a break?" He asks.

"Is a 20 year old girl to much for a 27 year old Marine to much to handle? How pitiful." I mock. I climb back into the ring and he follows suit. I tackle him and pin him with ease. We both laugh uncontrollably. He rolls over so that he is on top. I wrap my legs around his waist and squeeze.

"Damn! You have a pretty tight squeeze." Jake laughs. I laugh and when I stand up i see Harry standing in the doorway.

"What's up Harry?" I ask with a smile.

"You box?" He asks with a smile.

"Yeah. Wanna go a round with me?" I ask.

"I can't hit a girl!" Harry exclaims.

"This girl is so quick you won't be able to." Jake pipes in.

"Maybe next time. Let's get home." Harry says offering me his hand. I take it and follow him out. I go to the locker room and change before leaving. I lock my gym clothes in my locker and go out to the parking lot. Harry is sitting on my blue ninja street bike. I laugh and climb on mine. I turn it on and begin to drive away. Harry follows closely behind. When we get back to the house everyone is in their rooms except Niall.

"Its ok Niall. I found her. She's safe." Harry says as we enter the house.

"Thank God." He says relieved. "You had me worried. I'm sorry for constantly starting fights with you. I really am. I'm just happy your safe."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the concern." I say coldly.

"What will it take to get you back? I'm literally dying to have you again. What do you need?" He begs.

"I need proof." I say.

"Ok. Tomorrow after we get your stuff I have something for you. Wear something pretty." He says as he grabs my hands. I look into his eyes. He was sincere. It took all my strength not to forgive him and kiss him right there. "Ok?"

"Yeah. I'll go with you." I say quietly. I avoid eye contact because if he looks at me with those beautiful blue orbs I would melt under his gaze. He smiles and kisses my head softly. I blush and walk up the stairs to my room. I close my door and within 30 seconds there was a knock. I answer it and am surprised by a kiss. I look up at the one who stole a kiss and notice Niall smirking.

"Good night Beautiful." He says in a deep raspy voice that was irresistible. I shut the door and walk to bed. I fall into my bed and pass out immediately.
