Jennifer's POV

I parked my car in at Walmart to sleep since I didn't have anywhere else to go. I opened the windows a little so I wouldn't die. After I got comfortable I got reminded about the situation that was happening and cried myself to sleep.

-

I woke up to a person knocking on my window. "Move your car before I have it towed" a white women said and I nodded. I rubbed my sore eyes and mad my way back to Joe's house since I need my stuff. On the way there I got reminded on how he would hold me each night. I just hope it doesn't change. I parked on the street and went to the door and knocked. "Leah get the door!" I heard Joe yell and Leah groaned.

Shortly after the door was opened and Leah's eyes widened. "Aren't you supposed to be in here?" She asked sleepily and I smiled. "I don't know right now but I hope really soon" I said and she looked at me confused. "Who's at the door?" Joe asked making himself seen. As soon as he seen me he pushed Leah lightly away and shut the door in my face. I could feel myself about to cry.

"Please Joe I need you" I begged and he didn't open the door. I knocked again and Joe answered the door and he looked annoyed. "Baby please I really need you" I whispered wiping my eyes with my sleeves. "What happened?" Leah asked and Joe smiled. "Guess you were right Leah she is a hoe" he said making my heart break into pieces. "What do you mean?" She asked and I looked down and back up her with my puffy red eyes.

"Ryan kissed me and I tried to pull away but he pushed himself on me and when he heard your fathers footsteps he switched positions so it looked like I kissed him but I didn't. I couldn't do that to him ever. I love him with my whole heart." I said and she scoffed. I knew she wouldn't believe me. I looked back down and I started to cry hard and I couldn't stop. "I love you so much" I whispered and I put my hands on my face.

"Dad she is obviously telling the truth" Leah said and I looked at her. "What? Because she is crying? That bullshit" he said and Leah looked down. "Answer me!" He yelled at her and I didn't like that. "Papi don't yell at her" I said and he looked at me, he was about to say something but Leah said something first, "It was my fault." Joe looked at her with a suspicious look. "You don't have to cover for her" he said and she shook her head. "No I'm serious. Me and Ryan had made a bet and I bet him he couldn't get into Jennifer's pant and he said he could" she said making me feel hurt since she agreed to this. "See I would never do that to you" I said and his look softened. I went to go hug him and he rushed to me.

I cried harder since I really did miss him in that short time period. "Im sorry" he whispered. "It's okay" he pulled away and looked at me and put his forehead on mine. "No it's not, I should've believed you" he said and I smiled and went to kiss him softly but he made it deeper. I pulled away since Leah was right there. "Chill big boy" I said and he smiled and hugged me again.

We stayed like that for a couple minutes just taking in each other's presence. Afterwards we went inside and I told Joe I was tired so I went to take a nap in our room.

Leahs POV

I feel bad knowing Jennifer went through that last night. I didn't think Ryan would do it without her consent and force himself on her. I though he would just seduce her and she would fall for it but I guess not. I started to make my way to the room where everyone was but my dad grabbed my arm.

"Why would you do that?" He asked but he wasn't angry, he seemed scared and hurt. "I just didn't want her here. I though she would just leave you like mom did" I said and he shook his head while looking down. "She is different and I will prove it to you" I just looked away and sighed. Now knowing that she actually isn't a hoe make me feel more comfortable about her. I just might be more open to her since she really does love my dad.

Me and my dad talked a little more and I went to my room. Ryan was laying down on my couch and I felt a wave of anger sweep over me looking at him because what he did to Jennifer. I grabbed my water bottle and opened it while walking to him. I looked at him once more and poured all the water on him making him wake up instantly.

He sat up frantically while breathing heavily. "You fucking bitch" I muttered and punched him right in the middle of his face making him hold his face falling off the couch. "You think making moves on a women that doesn't want it make you look better. She asked you to stop and you didn't" i gritted and kicked him in the balls. "Get the fuck out you worthless piece of shit" I said and picked him up and pushed out my room. He walked with a limp and I kept pushing him out the house.

"Don't ever come back to this house or I will kill. That's not a threat, that's a promise!" I yelled and closed the door making my way to my room. I walked in the room and all the girls were looking at me. "What happened?" Lexi asked confused. "He tried to rape Jennifer yesterday and then my dad almost broke up with Jennifer thinking she was cheating on him with that price of shit" I said and went to my bathroom to freshen up.

After I freshened up everyone was gone. Thank god I didn't want to deal with anyone. I started to think about the situation with Jennifer and I felt worse about it. I walked out my room and knocked on their room. I wanted to apologize to Jennifer for what I had created since she looked pretty heartbroken.

"Come in" she groaned tiredly, I guess my dad had to go somewhere because he wasn't here. So I walked in and saw Jennifer laying down holding a pillow. I went to her side of the bed and her eyes looked so swollen from all the crying. I just looked down trying to think of apology but I couldn't.

"Jennifer" I whispered and waited for her response. "Hmm?" She mumbled still not opening her eyes. "Can you please sit up? I want to talk to you" she sighed while fluttering her swollen eyes and sat up lazily. "Yes?" She muttered while looking at me.

"I want to apologize for what I did. I'm truly and deeply sorry for what I did. I didn't know he was going to do that, I just though he was going to seduce you, not force himself. But that's not an excuse for what I did and I'm really sorry. I'm also very sorry for the way I have been treating you. I have no right or no reasonable reasons to have treated you that way. Just a because I don't like doesn't mean I don't have to respect you and I didn't, I'm sorry really. I just don't want you to leave my dad just like my mom did" I said with so much sincerity while looking deeply in her eyes.

She took that in and tilted her head. "Leah I'm not here to be your mother. I'm here to have a relationship with your father and so happens he has a daughter so I'm going to do my very best to take care of you in every way possible because I do really care about you Leah." She said while reaching for my hand and pulling me towards her. I sat down next to her and she put her hand on my face. "Leah I forgive you" I smiled while hugging her and she hugged back. We slowly pulled away and I was inches away from her face.

I looked into her eyes then down to her lips. she slowly started to smile and brush her thumb against my bottom lip. I looked up to her eyes again and got lost into the most beautiful light brown eyes. I slowly started to lean in and softly place my lips onto hers. she pulled away instantly and looked into my eyes. "I'm sorry Jennifer I did-" without warning she crashed her lips onto mine.

We were kissing very slow and passionate. I moved my hands to her waist and she cupped my face with her hands. I slid my tongue in slowly into her mouth making her moan softly. That...is a turn on. We continued to kiss until we heard my dad calling Jennifer's name. she quickly pulled away breathing heavily and answered. "Yes baby!" she yelled since he was yelling her name. He then walked in the room surprised I was here. "Hi, Leah?" he asked awkwardly. "You were calling me? I thought you were going to work" Jennifer interrupted. "Yes umm I was going to ask before but I forgot. Do you want to go out later?" he asked while looking at her. "Yes of course" she said smiling at him. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. Jennifer put her hand on my thigh and rubbed it softly, signaling me to calm down. "Great! see you later my love" he then gave Jennifer a kiss, I almost gagged so I had to look away.

He had left and I looked at Jennifer. "I'll go" I said about to go but Jennifer held onto my arm. "Let's not tell your father about that okay?" she said and I nodded leaving the room. That kiss has me thinking. Did that mean something? Will lead onto something else? Why did I feel that way during the kiss? Is it going to happen again? I don't know and I'm afraid to know. What if my dad finds out? Oh lord, I'm just going to act like nothing happened and I hope she does the same as well.

I took a shower to clear my mind and realized that my birthday is a couple months away until I'm 18. Yay. I think I'm ready, I'm going to college anyways so I basically have everything figured out. Speaking of everything figured out. I wonder what Jennifer does, I know she does work because during the week in the morning after making breakfast she leaves and comes back before me. I don't know and I don't care. I just want to get out of here because I'm starting to feel some type of ay for her and I can't have that because that is my dad's girlfriend, GIRLFRIEND. I'm scared that it might go to far and I can't control myself. I need to stay to myself because if anything happens we are both dead and the only one that's going to end up hurt is me or my dad. I ain't ready

for that first heartbreak yet.

I got into to bed since it's pretty late now and got comfortable. I was slowly falling asleep, until I heard yelling. ughhh. I got up and walked to my door to hear what was going on, but since it was dark I stubbed my toe on my dresser. "Mother of god" I groaned while holding onto my toe. After the pain went away I put my ear against the door. "What the fuck you mean it was an accident?! An accident happens once, not three times!!" I heard Jennifer yell. Uh Oh.
