It had been about an hour since we had all eaten. None of us had gone in the pool yet, but we were going to soon.

''So, how's the new album coming along?'' I ask the guys as I sit back. We all start to talk about the new album, upcoming tours, Sammi and Jinxx's wedding next year.

''Ash I wanna go and see the fishies!'' Jessa giggles, which makes Ashley smile. He puts her on the ground and lets her run into the house. We all start to talk again.

''Let's get in the pool then, guys,'' CC says as he picks Lauren up bridal style, Jinxx does the same with Sammi, Jake does the same with Ella, Ashley does the same with Jessa, and Andy does the same with Juliet.

I felt envy bubble through my veins as I watched Andy and Juliet make out and laugh together.

He was so adorable. The way he was always hyper and seriously energetic, it was so fucking cute. I was almost squealing when he did a backflip into the water.

''Hey! G! Come and join us!'' I hear Lauren shout.

''I don't swim!'' I shout back with a smile.

''Come on! It's not even that deep!'' Andy says with a smirk. I look over at Juliet who just stared at me with complete and utter hatred. She raised her eyebrow and shook her head slightly.

I just shake my head and smile at Andy before going to lay on a sun lounger.

''Suit yourself!'' Andy says as he goes back to Juliet.

I pick up my tanning oil and rub it all over my body before laying back and letting myself soak up some sun.

My sun was soon blocked out by a massive cloud. I opened my eyes to see Andy standing over me. He's a very cute cloud, I thought to myself. He waved and smirked down at me.

''Hey, Andy,'' I smiled and waved. He bent down and picked me up bridal style, I started to squirm around and squeal, but he held on tighter.

I was suddenly surrounded by warm water. I started thrashing about and screaming, but water kept filling my lungs. I got to the stairs that lead out of the pool. I tried to swim to them and finally did, so I crawled up them and ran into the house, spluttering and coughing up loads of water.

''Baby! Are you okay!?'' Jinxx ran over and hugged me to him as I cried. I sobbed into his chest for about ten minutes, and he just rocked me back and forth while stroking my hair down.

''It's okay, I'm here. Now, do you want to tell me what that was back there?'' He whispered. I nodded and quickly went outside to grab my cardigan. I ran back inside and sat down at the table with Jinxx.

''So, when I was staying with my grandma, my uncle would come and get me and my two sisters 'Out'. I haven't told you about my third sister because she's never really been in my life properly. When he would take us 'Out', he would take us back-to-to his house an-and...'' I started to cry at the thought of it.

''Baby, it's okay, I'm here.''

:Jinxx's POV:

''Baby, it's okay, I'm here.'' I whispered to her. I looked up to the door to see everyone standing there. They were listening, good.

''He would run a bath full of freezing cold water, he even put ice in it. He would tie me up, my hands behind my back and around my ankles. He would make me kneel in front of the bath, and push my head under the water.'' She sobbed, tears falling down her face like Niagara falls.

''They favored my sisters, making them warm baths, feeding them, letting them watch movies. But I was forced to clean, cook.'' She whispered. I couldn't keep it in. I run around the table and hug her like there was no tomorrow.

Sammi soon ran over and hugged her as well.

''I've been scared of baths and pools ever since. I'm sorry I've made such a commotion,'' She sobbed into my chest.

''No, no, no! You didn't. I'm glad you told me,'' I said quietly. We all fell to the floor, kneeling. We hugged each other, sobbing.

''Gypie!'' Jessa said, running over to me.

''Jessa, come here. I thought I told you not to call her that.'' Ash picks Jessa up and scolds her. I just stare at him coldly. His eyes hold hatred, all for me. I look down and carry on sobbing.

---

It was seven. The girls decided they would be staying the night, except for Juliet.

''We're gonna head to bed,'' Ash says while standing up with Jessa in his arms. I look around everywhere but him to avoid his death stare, but I could still feel his eyes burning holes through my head.

''Goodnight, guys,'' Sammi says as she kisses Jessa's head. Jessa gives her a hug and gives Jinxx a quick peck on the lips-A father-daughter one, of course-And cuddles back into Ashley's chest.

''Night guys,'' Everyone says, besides me. I stand up and walk into the kitchen to start washing up the dishes from earlier.

''Hello, Gypsy,'' I hear a cold voice sneer. I turn around to see Juliet standing there, staring at me with many emotions.

''Hi, Juliet,'' I whisper and carry on cleaning.

''I'm going to tell you this one time, only,'' She says while walking to my side.

''Stay away from Andy, or I swear, I will break you,'' She growls at me. I freeze before looking over at her.

''Juliet, are you listening to yourself? You sound like you're the boss of me, but you are not! You will not tell me what to do! I am seventeen years old, not seven! Now leave me alone!'' I growl back, a sudden feeling of anger entering me.

''I hope you cut yourself and bleed out until you die, you skank!'' She snaps. The anger in my body extinguishes, and pain and depression fills me, making tears well in my eyes.

''Have I found a little weak spot? Awe, poor little emo,'' She snickers and turns on her heel.

She suddenly turns back around and slaps me with such a force, I swore it was inhumane.

''Andy's mine, not yours.'' She whispers and saunters away.

I burst out in tears for the second time today. I'm such a wimp. I need to grow a backbone and start to fight back, but if I did, that would be disrespectful towards adults.

''Do you need any help?'' A voice from behind asks. I turn around to see Jake. I shrug and carry on washing the dishes.

''I don't understand how you guys can mess up a kitchen so quickly, I cleaned it until it was spotless yesterday!'' I gave a fake giggle. He nodded and smiled.

''We have a tendency to mess something up without even being in the same room,'' He says and starts to wash the counter tops and table down.

After we cleaned the kitchen up, Jake turned to me. ''I heard what Juliet said to you earlier,'' He said quietly.

''Oh,'' I whisper and start to walk out of the door, but am pulled back by Jake grabbing onto my wrist and pulling me into his chest. I hug him hard and close my eyes. I feel Jake lifting me up so I wrap my legs around his waist.

''Jake, can I sleep in your room tonight?'' I ask him softly. I feel him nod and kiss my head.

''Of course, you can,'' He says and walks up to the second floor. ''Your bags in Andy's room, right?'' He asks's and I nod.

He walks into Andy's room and grabs my bag before walking out of the door and walking up to the third floor.

''We're not going to bed, yet,'' He says. I just try not to fall asleep.

:Jake's POV:

I walk up the stairs to the third floor, which was just a massive living room.

''Gypsy,'' I say. She doesn't answer. ''Gypsy?'' I say again. Same response. Looks like I'm gonna have to change her.

''I'm so gonna regret this,'' I mumble and lay her down on the couch.

''Jake?'' She whimpers. I kneel down on the floor quickly and stroke the hair our of her eyes.

''Sh, it's okay. I'm here, sweetheart,'' She whimpers again and takes my hand from her face and holds it in hers.

''Sweetheart, you need to get changed,'' I say and she nods before standing up.

''Can you pass my bag, please?'' She sighs and rubs her head. I pass it to her and point to a bathroom.

''You can change over there, in the bathroom,'' I say and she thanks me before walking into it.

''I'm going to go and change quickly!'' I shout and run down the stairs. I change into a pair of plain black pajama bottoms and run back up the stairs.

:Gypsy's POV:

I brush my teeth, wash my face, and put my hair up before changing into a massive batman shirt and some black skin tight booty shorts.

As I open the door, I bumped into someone's chest. I look up to see Jake. I smile and step back, but he has other ideas.

He grabs my bag before throwing it onto the couch. He picks me up by the waist and throws me over his shoulder.

''Where are we going?'' I giggle as he walks down the stairs ,

''We are going to get snacks and then we're going to have a Batman marathon,'' He says. I squeal and hug him around the waist. And trust me, that wasn't easy since I was upside down.

''Can we have some popcorn?'' I ask him. He laughs and grips my legs tighter.

''Of course.''

---

After we had gotten the snacks, we went into the livingroom.

''Hey guys! Wanna come watch some Batman with us?'' Jake asks. Obviously, Andy was the first one up. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

''I'm in,'' He grins. I groan and pound on his back.

''What is it with you men and picking me up today?!'' I laugh.

''Ash, I wanna go and watch Batman with Gypsy!'' Jessa giggles.

Ashley just sighs and stands up with Jessa still in his arms.

Everyone else agrees to watch some Batman with us. Andy passes me over to Jake before running into the kitchen, so Jake walks up the stairs, me still over his shoulder. God damn it.

''We'll wait for everyone to get here first,'' He smiles and puts me down. I sit in the corner of the couch (It's an C-shaped couch) and Jake sits next to me. He basically sits on his side, one leg up to his chest and the other tucked under that one.

(I needed to add a picture or else you would've thought he was some twisty alien xD)

I lay my head on his thigh. He looks down at me and smiles before bringing a hand down to my face and stroking the hair out of my eyes.

''We're here!'' Andy bursts through the door and sits down next to me. He lays down next to me, his head actually on Jake's crotch.

Ew.

''Hewo Jakey!'' Andy squeals like a little girl before leaning up and giving Jake a childish peck on the nose. Jake scrunches his face up and lets out a fake cough.

''Gross dude, gross,'' He laughs.

''Hey baby,'' Ella sits next to Jake, giving him a quick kiss. I turn my head to see Andy staring at me. I just stare back.

''Plop.'' Andy throws a piece of popcorn at my face, it landing on my nose, then next to my face. I giggle and tap his cheek lightly, twice.

Andy pulls me up and lays my head on his lap, letting me watch the film in peace.

---

Andy and I were sobbing at the second movie when Rachel Dawes dies. We were clinging onto each other for dear life.

''Why!? Why did she have to die!?'' I ask no one in particular.

''I don't know?!'' Andy answers. I hear everyone laughing at us, I just flip them off and keep sobbing into Andy's chest, still watching the film.

After we stopped crying, I had laid back down into Andy's lap. He was stroking my head, and every piece of skin he touched, left tingles.

My eyes start to close as I feel the tingles spread around my entire body, relaxing and lulling me to sleep.

---

When I woke up, I saw I was in someone's room. I looked beside me to see Ella laying next to me, her arms wrapped around my waist. I giggled and poked her nose.

''Ella, sweetie! Wake up!'' I sung quietly.

''Five more minutes,'' She pulled me closer to her, so I wrapped my arms around her waist, closing my eyes and breathing in her lemony scent.

''Fuck, it's too early for this shit,'' I hear Jake mumble. I look down on the floor to see him laying there, rubbing his head.

''Jake what the fuck are you doing down there?'' I laugh. He gets up and sits on the edge of the bed.

''May I?'' He asks, gesturing towards his bed. I nod and he lifts the duvet up before laying next to me. He wraps his arms around Ella and I's waists and kisses our foreheads.

''My two girlies!'' He squeals in excitement. I giggles, and so does Ella.

''Morning baby,'' Ella says and points to her cheek. Jake kisses it, but then she pouts. ''I wasn't talking to you, Jake. I was talking to my girlfriend right here,'' She makes a funny face as she pulls me coser to her. I giggle and try to mimick the face.

''Haha, Jake, I stole your girl! She's mine now!" i smile proudly

''Damn guys, don't do that to me! You can't steal my girlfriend, G!'' He groans. I just giggle and bury my head into Ella's chest. She pulls the warm duvet up to our necks and kisses my forehead.

''Do you two wanna go shopping today?'' Jake asks. Ella and I nod before I turn to face him.

''Thank you Jakey,'' I say and give him a hug. He returns it and falls asleep again.

A sudden knock on the door woke us all up.

''Come in!'' Jake says. The door opens, but no one stands in the doorway.

''Hey,'' A tiny voice says. I look over the bed to see Jessa.

''Hey, baby girl. Why aren't you with Ashley?'' I ask. She shrugs and closes the door before climbing up the box that's at the end of the bed and coming to lay in the bed in between me and Ella.

''I love you, Gypie,'' She mumbles into my chest before falling asleep. Ella and Jake awe as I kiss her head.

''I love you too, Princess."

And with that, I fall back asleep.
