It Gets Better

Fugitive On The Loose

You arrived at Jamie's place and he parked his truck in his spot. He came around and opened up your door. You swung you feet outside and took a hold of his hands and arm as you slowly stood up. You winced as you felt the pain in your side.

"I got you, love," he said and you nodded your head.

He helped you walk from his truck until you were inside of his place. The moment you stepped into his house, you felt a little better.

"Joseph, we're here," Jamie said as he closed the door behind him.

You looked up and saw Joseph walking to where you were.

"Hey, sis," he said as he gave you a hug.

"Hey...easy," you said as you winced a little.

"Sorry," he apologized as he pulled back from you. "Let's get you somewhere comfortable," he said as he helped you make your way through the house.

He helped you into the living room and over towards the couch. You slowly sat down on the couch as he helped you.

"Do you need anything? Anything to drink or eat?" he asked as you made yourself comfortable.

"No, I'm okay," you said as you shook your head and tried to relax.

"We brought a lot of your stuff here after we left the hospital last night. There are just some random things that I left at your place that you won't really need, but your clothes and toiletries are here, electronic stuff," he explained as Jamie grabbed the remote and set it down on the couch beside you. "Just please make sure that you take it easy," he said as he looked down at you and you nodded your head.

"Did they find him?" you asked as you were more worried about that.

You saw his smile fade and he shook his head no. You looked away from him and he kneeled down in front of you as he placed his hand on your one knee.

"Try not to worry. They will find him. We will not let him hurt you again," he said as you looked at him and nodded your head.

The evening came and you were snuggled up against Jamie in his arms with a blanket as you watched a movie together. You weren't really paying attention to the movie. You kept thinking about everything that had gone on. You were brought of your thoughts when Jamie's phone started to go off.

"I'm sorry," he said as he picked up his phone and saw that it was a telemarketer. "False alarm," he said as he set his phone back down on the couch and resumed the position that he was in. "Do you need anything, love?" he asked as he lightly rubbed your arm.

"No, I'm okay," you answered.

You tilted your head up to look at him and he looked down at you. He pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead before you both snuggled up to each other more. You were so grateful to have him in your life. He was keeping you in the right mindset.

The next morning came and you awoke to find out that Jamie was already up out of bed. You slowly got up from the bed and made your way to the bathroom. As you finished brushing your teeth, you could hear Jamie's phone going off. You came out of the bathroom as he answered the phone.

"Hello," he said as he held the phone to his ear and saw you coming towards him. "Yeah, hold on," he said and then put his phone on speaker. "Okay, you're on speaker," he said as he held the phone between us.

"Y/N...they got him. They found Brad," Joseph eagerly said.

"What?" you asked as you wanted to make sure you heard him right.

"They found Brad. He was staying at a motel 30 miles out of the city," he said and you brought your hands up to your mouth. "The lady at the front desk saw the BOLO on the news and ended up calling the police the moment she realized it was him," he explained as Jamie lightly rubbed your back. "They are taking him to jail and getting him booked."

"Oh my god. I feel so relieved," you said as Jamie placed a kiss on the top of your head. 

"I just wanted to call and let you guys know what was going on. How did you sleep last night? Is Jamie taking care of you?" he asked and you looked up at Jamie.

"Of course he is," you said as you both smiled at each other.

"Well, I'll probably stop by sometime later today, if that's alright. Maybe we can order some takeout to celebrate," he suggested.

"Yeah, we can do that. Thank you for letting us know."

Once you both ended the call, you hugged Jamie and he gently hugged you back.

"I'm so relieved," you said as you both hugged each other.

"Me too, love," he said and placed a kiss on the top of your head.

You tilted your head up to look at Jamie and he looked down at you. You arms were still wrapped around each other.

"Everything okay?" he asked.

"I just wanted to thank you for being there for me, through everything," you started to say.

"You don't have to thank me..."

"No," you said as you interrupted him. "I do," you added as you nodded your head. "You have been there for me so much, you've taken care of me, cheered me up. I know that I have Joseph, but I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you in my life," you said as tears came to your eyes and he smiled at you.

"I'm glad that I can be here for you, Y/N," he said and you both smiled at each other before he brought lips down to yours and gave you a few kisses.

Your life was slowly starting to come back to normal and you were glad to have Jamie in your life.
