Julia's POV

"I love you mama, thanks for the ring." I say to her. She smiles and hugs me.

"Your welcome baby. Treasure it always. I'm always here for you. Always." She smiles.

"Oh mom." I hug her as tears ran down my cheeks. Just then, I feel her body shaking. I move instantly. "Mom, what's wrong?" I ask as I see her face turning red, she was being choked, a pair of hands were around her neck. The person is blurry and I can't quite see them.

"No." I say and try to move the hands away. But my efforts are useless.

"June."

"St-Stop." I move my arms.

"Julia."

"Stop! Stop hurting her! Get away from her!" I shout then sob.

"June...stop."

"Stop touching her! Leave her alone!"

"June. Wake up!"

Just then, my mom slowly looses her breath and she stares at me, taking her last breath.

"No!" I sob and reach for her. "Mom, please don't leave mi." I cry.

"June wake up please!"

I gasp for air as I sit up on the bed. I feel my forehead as I start to sweat and breath heavily. I was having panic attacks again. I haven't gotten them in the longest time.

A pair of muscular arms wrap around my waist as I sob.

"Shh, its okay, it was just a dream." Jace whispers in my ear. My breathing is still rigid as I desperately grasp his shirt and start to black out. "No June, stay with me. Come back." Jace says but his voice seems so far away.

"Come back to me baby, please." He stretches over for something while rubbing my back. "Will it help if I rubbed your back?" I don't say anything as I rapidly shake. Just then a pump is placed at my mouth and I am soon inhaling and exhaling. My breathing is then slightly at ease when he makes me breath through a small brown bag.

"Are you okay?" Jace whispers in my ears. I slightly nod. He wipes my tears with his thumb as he rubs my back slowly. "How long?"

"Since mama died." I hug him. I'm really thankful that he is here or else I wouldn't know what would have happen to me.

"I'm so sorry to hear that June. Do you need water? Is there anything that would make you take your mind off it?" He asks with caution.

"I just wanna stay like dis." I hug him tighter. He kisses my forehead and my while body tingles.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

I breath and look at his calming green eyes that seemed to subside the storm within me. "Somebody strangled my mum."

"I thought she was dead because she had cancer." He strokes my hair.

"She did...well, I think she did. But that dream, it felt real. Jace?"

"Yes June?"

"I think my mom was murdered."

"That can't be right. Who would do such a thing?"

"I dunno, but all mi know is that, it felt real, like it really happen." I rest my head on his hard muscular chest that somehow felt soft like a pillow.. "Thanks for staying up with me da'night. I really appreciate it."

"No problem June, always." He brings his my fingers up to his mouth and kisses my knuckles.

"Oh Jace?"

"Hmm." He humes sweetly while rocking me.

"I really do need that water." I look at him in innocence and he smiles.

"Your lucky I love you." He gets up and walks to the door. "Any goodbye kiss or advice before I go?"

"Hm, oh! Don't buck your toe. Its very painful in the end." I smiles.

"Ha. Ha." He says then leaves. My heart skips a beat at the way he just said he loves me. Up till now, I still can't believe that he does. Its hard to process but my heart races when I see him look at me every time.

"I love you too." I whisper.

If only Jace was in here to hear me.

...........

"Julia Pepper right?" A guy says as he sits beside me.

"Yeah."

"I'm Gabe Downswell. I was wondering if I could be your partner for the English project?" He asks, his eyes pleading. "I'm new."

Something about him seems off, I can't seem to put my finger on it.

"Okay sure." He smiles at me and I see a glint in his eyes, an emotion that I can't quite read. He hugs me and heads in his bag.

Who was this Gabe guy?

........

"Hey." Jace whispers and wraps his arm around me while I stuff my locker.

"Hi." I say tiredly. I sigh and bang my head slightly against the locker. Can't school just burn down or something? Who created school?

"Tired?" He slowly caresses my arm and goosebumps start to erupt from his touch. I know he is smiling because of that. Darn you skin...

"Ye. Mi just glad that school soon over." I turn around to face him. He smiles at me and I do him. He stares at me and I try my best not to look away by looking in his eyes that always take my breath away.

"Dammit. Don't give me that look." He growls.

"What look?"

"That look. That look you always give me. You stare at me, pleading for me to kiss you when and do things never discovered before to you...that look." He comes up closer. "The look that will always have me falling to my knees and falling in love with you all over again."

I blush and turn hide away in his chest. I feel him lift my chin up to look at him.

"And don't hide my favorite blush from me." He kisses my forehead and I hug him. I am well aware of the people staring at us but by the looks of it, Jace doesn't seen to care. The way he just look at me and smiles while continuously kissing my face while I laugh. And you know what, I didn't give a downright damn either.

Because he loved me, and I loved him. Even though he doesn't know that yet.

..........

"So I was saying, if your gonna have a girlfriend, your gonna have to make sure you have a face." Alex says. We all look at him. "What? What girl would take a guy with no face?"

"You sound utterly stupid right now." Alexander says to his twin. He huffs and places his arm around Brook. School is over and we are currently coming out of school.

"You okay?" Jace asks me.

"Yeah." I wrap my arm around his waist.

"So what's going on between you two?" Ethan asks.

"Uh..." Jace trails. "We're two people on this earth." I look up at him and laugh. My laugh is cut short when I see that Gabe guy that I met in class today. He is speaking to Bianca, her hands all over his chest as he devilishly smirks. I freeze at the sight of them.

"That's the guy I met today." I whisper to everyone. They look at the guy and Bianca and I slightly jump at the way Jace charges at him but is then held back by Drake.

"Not him again." Alex frowns.

"Why is he here?" Ethan asks. Lucus face is red with anger.

"The better question is, how is he here." Alexander growls. His British accent well defined as he seethes.

Gabe looks at me and gives me a look that makes me shiver. And not in the good way, only Jace can do that to me. Him alone.

"June, let's get out of here." Jace whispers. I look at him confused and worried.

"Why? Is something wrong?" I ask.

"Yes, and we need to get out of here now." He lifts me up and takes me to the car, and the rest of the gang do the same. I look at Jace, his jaw is clenched and his hands are held tightly around the steering wheel, making his knuckles white. He looks tense and angry. At the bridge of crying I might add.

I reach over and touch his jaw and see him stiffen but then relaxes. He looks at me with a smile that doesn't reaches his eyes. He leans into my touch and I hear a faint sob.

Jace was crying

My baby was crying

My happiness was fudging crying

Who was this Gabe guy? Whoever he is, he is gonna regret the day he was ever born because whoever messes with Jace...

Messes with me...

******************************

A/N: heyo everyone! How has your day been going? Yes, I feel so proud of myself because I updated a total of four chapters! Someone clap me because I wrote the three in one day! I'm not lazy for once!

Anyways, so I know this chapter was pointless and made no sense, but please forgive me guys. Panic attacks are very horrible. It feels like your slowly dying and the works is no longer at vague. But anyways, I don't want to pull you guys down with my negativity. I made something over the week.

Mommy's Girl (Part 1)

**A mom was pregnant with a second child. They were on her bed when her first child suddenly asked.

"Mom, will you show my sister in your tummy more attention than me?"

"No sweetie, I won't. You'll always be my first. I will always be there to show you affection and love you."

"Promise you won't forget about me?"

"I promise baby."

The mom had her second child cared for her well, the sister loved her new sibling but she felt bad that her mom made no time for her. She wasn't acting selfish, for she knew her sister needed to be well taken care of.

Her sister had grown, and so did the first daughter. But it seemed like the mother loved paying more attention to the second child rather than the first.

The first daughter fought for the mother's attention but she still wasn't getting the love she wanted.

Years past and the daughter slowly distant herself from her mother and two sisters. Yes sisters, the mother was pregnant and had another child. The mother seemed to love the other two more than the first and it took a toll on the girl the point where she felt utterly devastated.

She found no reason to fight for her mom's attention anymore. She found no reason to try and make back the friendship that was damaged. She found no reason to try.

The mother promised to never forget her, but I guess the mother's promises were just her fantasies.

Years after years past, and the mother and daughter slowly drifted away from each other, until none knew how to even say hey.

But each day it pained to see the daughter this way.

Her mom stopped caring and her daughter as well. And it went on until she slowly drifted away.

Sometimes she wished for her old mom back, to care and to show affection. Yet she is shouted at repeatedly with lectures.

It wasn't until one day, the girl gave up and ran away***

That's it guys. Part 2 will be coming soon. It sounds crappy I know, but I kinda vented when I wrote this and in my life, I don't have anyone who is there for me. Outside the wattpad world, I'm really alone but as an introvert, I actually enjoy being alone.

Anyways, thank you to all those who are still stuck with me. Y'all are so loyal and dedicated to wittle ole me.

God bless you all. I love you all so very much.
