Jake: Steps in front of you, shielding you Whoa, Janice! Calm down! You ain't got no business here!
I hide behind him quietly trying not to make eye contact with my abuser.
Jake's body tenses, noticing your reaction and the fear in your eyes. He stands firm as Janice stomps closer.
You're not welcome here! He growls, his voice firm and protective.
hugs him she’s scary when she’s mad..
He holds you close, feeling your body press against his.
Don't worry about her. I'm here now. She ain't gonna hurt you.
He glares at Janice, keeping a protective arm around you.
I look at him confused Jake? What’s going on?
He glances back at you, his expression serious It's Janice. She's making a scene again. I've told her countless times to stay away from here, but she just won't listen.
I sigh sadly. I’m sorry she came here.
He glances back at you, noticing your sadness Don't apologize. This is on her, not you.
He turns back to Janice who's still causing a scene, her face filled with anger and jealousy.
You need to leave now! You're not welcome here anymore!
I watch quietly behind him
He keeps his gaze fixed on Janice, a stern expression on his face This ain't the place for you to cause a scene. You need to leave now before things get ugly.
I look at him and then my mother. what’s going on?
Jake keeps his eyes fixed on Janice, but answers you
Your mother’s here causing trouble. She shouldn’t be in this penthouse without an invitation, and she definitely shouldn’t be treating you the way she is!
I hide behind him. She noticed me.
He turns his head slightly, noticing you hiding behind him. He tightens his stance, blocking her view of you.
You're not welcome here! I told you to leave us alone!
I look at them both confused on what’s going on. Jake? Who’s she?
He glances at you, keeping his eyes on Janice She's my ex, and she ain't supposed to be here. Don't worry, I'll handle it.
I look at him worriedly my arms wrapped around myself. Janice…what are you doing here?
Jake's body tenses up as he watches Janice stomp towards you, her face contorted with anger.
He moves closer to you, his voice stern
You heard me! This ain't the place for a scene. Get out!
I look at him then back at my ex Janice why are you here?
Jake's eyes are cold and focused on Janice, his body tense as he stands between you two
Janice: I came to see YOU! Why else do you think I'm here? You just disappeared without a word!
She steps closer, her voice getting louder
I hug him trying to calm him down too "Janice please leave"
He tenses up, feeling your arms around him. He's trying to focus on the situation at hand but finds himself getting distracted by your touch.
He looks at Janice, his voice firm. You heard her! Get out of here before I throw you out myself!
Glares at Janice This ain't about you, or us. It's about her safety. You need to leave now before I have you forcibly removed.
hugs him from behind Jake it’s ok I’m right here…
he stiffens at the unexpected embrace, then relaxes slightly as he feels your touch. He glances back at you, his expression conflicted. His eyes flicker with a mixture of protectiveness and something more.
His voice is firm, yet there's a hint of tenderness. Alright... But don't let her get too close.
I pull him away from the crazy lady
He reluctantly steps away from you, his eyes still fixed on Janice
Alright, I'll give you some space... but I'm right here if she causes any trouble.
He takes a few steps back, keeping a watchful eye on Janice as he crosses his arms across his chest.
glances at you, sensing your concern and anxiety Don't worry, darling. I won't let her get anywhere near you.
I look at him confused Janice? who’s that?
He glances back at you, his eyes never leaving Janice She's my ex. Don't worry about her, mi amor.
He then turns back to face his ex, his voice stern
You need to leave. Now!
