I'm waiting....:)

I finally got out of his grip. I looked at him and erged for his lips to meet mine.

"I-I gotta go.... I can't let him take you away from me."

"Please just to the corner. I'll wait 15 minutes until I got.." He gave me the ppuppy eyes I couldn't ressist. I caved.

"Okay...." I let him intertwine our fingers and walk us to the corner. I swear we walked in super mode. I stopped at the stop sighn. I waited for him to let go of my hand.

"Joseph you can let go now...." I said as I looked at his face. It was in shoke. I looked at his point of veiw and the man I called my father.I stood there in shoke I probably didn't blink

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much! You don't know how much that means to me.....there will most likly be another chapter tonight. And I promise you.... this one will get crazy!! I'm so excited I wish I just poof it on the screen!!! Thanks again for the comment.

XoXoXo October <3 ;D

"i-is that your dad?" Joseph asked with a shoked face. as my dad walked towards us.

"Yup.... I really should go." I said as I walked towards my dad.

"Who is this!!??" My dad asked getting up in my face.

"Um.... noone, just a friend..." I said as i tried to walk away safley.

"I don't think just friends hold hands and look happyier together." I stopped right in my trackes and turned around. I looked at joseph and motioned for him to walk away and just go but he stood his ground like a lion protecting his pack.

"dad lets just go..." He turned to me and smajed me...... right in front of him. I backed up and tried not show joseph the tears running down my face. But it was too late he'd already saw.

"Don't touch her!' He said as he walked to me and held me to his chest.

"Joseph let go of me and just walk away..... please." I whispered.

"You have no right to treach her like you do!!! She is a wonderful person and you need to learn that!." Joseph said as he stared down into my dads eyes.

"Boy don't tell me what I need to do with my parenting skills, or else you'll be next! Now let go of my daughter and GO home." He said as he got closer to Joseph. All he did was hold me tighter and had a staring contest with him.

"I said Let GO!!" My dad started to yell now and his face was getting red just like he does when he's about to pounce. Joseph looked at me and stayed were he was. I held him tighter hoping my dad would just walk away, but knew he wasn't that kind of person. He was the type of person who had to prove he was "good" by fighting. The next thing I know joseph is fumbeling backwards and trying to hold me and his balance.

"JOSEPH!!!" I screamed as I saw the blood coming from his mouth.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM! DON'T TOUCH HIM OR ME ANYMORE!!!" I said as I reged joseph to walk away....thats when my dad strated after us.

Oh my god! Joseph what-" Denise asked as we walked through the door but joseph interupted.

"I'm fine mom, I can take care of it." He said as she handed him ice for his lip.She looked at me and saw I was worried.

"you must be October..." she said.

"Um, yeah, look I'm so sorry for this, I'll just go home and-"

"Your not going back there honey, not for now." She interupted.

"W-what do you mean?" I asked looking at Joseph for an explanation. He didn't know either.

"Your staying here for the night, then we'll figure out tomorrow whats going to happen." She said. I couldn't believe what was happening she doesn't even know me and she is taking me in for the night.

"Why is she doing this?" I asked Joseph as we walked in his room.

"She cares, and I kinda told her about you..." He said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Wait, you talk about me..." I said trying to keep in my smile but I was defeted by my happiness.

"Um, yeah...." He said with a smile. I sat down on his couch. He sat next to me. We didn't talk for a while but it wasn't a awkward silence it was peaceful.

"JJ!" Said a voice coming upstaires. Then he apperied in his doorway.

"Hey I heard your "girlfriends" staying--" He cutt himself off and saw joseph wasn't the only one in the room.

"Well hello there... I'm Nicholas....Nick for short.." He said with an extended hand to me.

"Hi nicholas nick for short I'm October." I said taking his hand and shaking it. He laughed at my comment back.

"I like you already, good thing your not that shy we arn't shy at all in this family of boys." He said with a white smile. I looked at Joseph and he shrugged.

"Dude have you given a tour yet?" He asked putting his attention to Joseph now.

"Hah guess I forgot, you can if you want, October do you mind? I need to go tell my mom about what happend." He said getting up and helping me off the couch. I looked at Nick and smiled.

"No I don't mind. Unless he bites...." I said

"I don't bite....hard." He joked.

"And this is Frankies room..... He's bit of a messy kid, so I'll just close that door." He said closing the door to the 9 year olds room. I was kinda happy he did, it was really messy. The floor was covered in toys so much you couldn't see it.

"Now were off to the el back yard." He said with a mexican accent. We headed down staires and we passed the kitchen and I saw Joseph talking to his mom and dad, seeing they were in a heavy conversation I looked at the back of nicks shirt. I took advantage and saw what he was wearing for the first time. A white button up shirt, the sleeves were rolled up right above his elbows. And I swear he was wearing the skinniest black jeans ever, I mean mine were skinny, but not that skinny. I smiled at what I'd said and I was caught with it.

"What cha thinking bout?" Nick asked as we passed his pool over to a tree house.

"If you don't mind me asking?" He said as he stopped and leaned against the tree trunk with the little steps nailed into it.

"How skinny your panst are......Haha how do you get them on and off?" I asked feeling more comfortable with him. He laughed and looked at his pants.

"Ya know I supprise myself with these ones......" He said. I laughed and looked around, the back yard was big and beautiful, compaired to my dirt filled one. They had grass, a pool (big pool with a slide), a tree house, a trampoline, and a hamice off on the corner of the yard. It made me want to stay here, I mean the family is wonderfuly nice, they accept me, and it's a wonderful home with a wonderful family.Kinda like the famliys you see on T.v with them in the back yard having a party, and the perfect house with the little perfect family. But no ones perfect right?

(Later that night)

I learned that some famliys do eat together. And are happy with eachother. And no one really fights with eachother, that familys can be safe and happy. Instead of painful and terifying. We ate dinner and watched a movie after. And after that, we all headed off to bed, and I was thankful but not, I didn't want to leave in the mornig, I wanted so much to stay here.

"Joseph..." I whispered as I lay on the bed and he lay on his couch. I felt bad, I'd rather me sleep on his couch then hogg his bed.

"Yeah..." He whispered back. When I didn't answer he moved and I saw him sit up in the dark.

"October? you okay?" He asked still in whisper. I wanted to ask him to come lay on the bed with me, but I didn't want to sound weird. So I just said.

"Never mind..." I turned over and the next thing I feel is someones hand patting the bed.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"By the wall.....what are you---" He layed down beside me and turned me over. I held my breath.... I didn't know what to do.

" Whats up?" He asked and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"I feel bad.... your on the couch....and I should be..."

"I'm being the proper gental men, momma didn't raise no fool." I laughed I stayed still, I felt him inch closer. I smiled and figured what the hay! I scooted closer and was at his chest, he put his arms around me.

"I can't let you go back, not after what you told me..." He said.

" Can I tell you something...."

"Yes, you can tell me anything."

"I-i don't want to go back...."

"And you don't have to, I talked to my mom, she said she thinks it's best you stay.....if you want."

"But no one knows me."

"It doesn't matter to my family, they like you and thats all they care about, they know enough that they know you wont hurt me, and I wont as to you...." He paused. I knew were this was going. He likes me back, and we liked eachother from the start, we just never said it, we were to afraid to.
