"C.ccan I watch?"

He nodded and smiled getting back in the ring. Dad and I sat down and watched them practice. The door opened and a girl around my age walked in. She sat her stuff down and waited. Ben and Parker finally finished. Parker got out the ring.

"Jesse I want you to meet someone. Michelle this is Jesse Glynn she's the Junior Division boxing champion. Jesse this is Michelle she's new."

"Hi."

I said.

"Hi. I'm a big fan of yours I've watched every match you've done professionally and when you first started."

"Tthank you."

I said giving her a small smile.

"Parker we got to head out."

Dad said walking over.

"Alright. Remember Jesse they'll support your decision no matter what happens."

I nodded and he gave me one last hug. We left and got in the car. I sat back putting on my seatbelt. Dad started the car and we drove home.

"They're here now."

I heard mum say. I walked in and she was skyping grandma and grandpa on the tv.

"Mom, dad?"

Dad said.

"Hi Ro. Hi Jesse Glynn."

"Hi."

I said.

"What are you guys doing?"

Dad asked sitting down.

"Well we just got invited to watch you and Dean at SummerSlam as special guest."

"You did?"

"Yeah."

"We got one too."

Mum said. I looked at the letter. Literally I looked at it. I didn't read it.

"So all of you are coming to New York?"

"Yes."

Mum said. I looked at dad.

"Daddy I can't."

I whispered. He nodded.

"I'm gggonna go to my rrroom."

I said standing up. I waved at grandma and grandpa and went upstairs. I closed the door and sat on my bed. I looked down fumbling with my fingers.

"Jesse?"

Mum said and then opened the door. She and dad walked in and sat by me.

"I..I cccan't go."

"Yes you can love."

"No. The vvvoice. It I won't stop."

"Jesse Glynn what are you trying to say."

"The voice wwill be tthere."

I said and I pulled my knees to my chest hugging them.

"Baby girl you know I wouldn't let either of them get to you ever. You could even stay with me backstage. They won't know you're there."

"Rrreally?"

He nodded.

"Yes really. Will you please come and watch."

I nodded. He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"You have to do your school work."

"Ookay."

I said and went to my desk. I got the laptop and got in my bed opening it.

"You need anything?"

Mum asked.

"C.ccan I have ss.some milk."

She nodded and got up walking out. Dad sat beside me.

"What you working on?"

"En..English."

He nodded. I read the first sentence over and over, but I couldn't figure it out.

"C.ccan yo.you read this ttto me."

He nodded. He read it to me and I nodded.

"It's a pppreposition."

I said and he nodded.

"Yeah now you have to type it in the little box."

I looked down at the keys and they all looked the same.

"Tthey all look the same."

"What look the same?"

Mum asked walking in.

"Keys."

She sat down my chocolate milk and some graham crackers. She sat down.

"How about you tell me the answers and I type it."

I nodded.

"Pppreposition is this one."

She nodded and typed it. We spent the entire time with dad reading me the questions, I answered them, and mum typed them.

"All done now love."

I nodded.

"Tthank you bboth."

"We're always here to help if you need anything baby girl. "

I nodded. I reached out and got my chocolate milk and got a graham cracker. Once I finished I wiped off the mustache and laid back.

"You tired?"

"L.llittle."

"Get some sleep love."

Mum said kissing my forehead. She went to the door.

"Roman you coming?"

"Yeah I'll be there in a minute. "

She nodded walking downstairs.

"Baby girl I swear I will protect you okay. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you, Jacey, Brody, or your mum."

"I know."

I said and he kissed my forehead taking off my hat.

"Sweet dreams baby girl. "

"Ssweet dreams dd.daddy."

"I love you baby girl. "

"I lllove you ttto."

He kissed my forehead and cut on my lamp cutting off the light. He walked out and went downstairs. I closed my eyes. I thought of something that would send me to a happy place and went to sleep.

I was walking down a hall towards a light. I walked through and there was a woman sitting in a rocking chair?

"Hello?"

"I've been waiting for you Jesse Glynn."

"Who are you?"

The chair turned around to a beautiful woman with long brown curly hair, hazel eyes, and tan skin."

"I am Abigail. Sister Abigail."

"As in Bray..."

"Yes. I know the troubles my brothers have sent to your family. Especially you and it is highly unexceptable. "

"Why am I here?"

"Because only you can put a stop to this madness. "

"How?"

"What you do best. Fighting fire with fire."

I shot up gasping. I looked at the clocked and it was 6:30.

"Fight fire with fire?"

Fight fire with fire.

Fight fire with...

Fight fire...

Fire!
