(hey, sorry I was offline for so long. I had marching band competitions, but I'm back now :D)
"How was your day? Did it go okay?" Nate asked Jessica.

(it's okay)

Jessica turned her head to nate "uh yeah It was fine" she responded.

"Are you sure? You just seem like something's wrong. Did something happen?" Nate asked, wanting to make sure she was okay.

"I'm fine Nate" she reassured him.

"Okay." Nate turned his eyes back to the road, not saying another word on the matter.

Soon enough they arrived at Jessica's house .

Nate turned off the car and got out, grabbing his backpack and guitar as he did.

Jessica reached to the backseat and grabbed her backpack.

Nate walked up to the front door and opened it. He turned around to wait for Jessica to catch up so they could walk inside together.

Jessica shut he car door and ran to catch up with Nathan.

Nate put his free arm around Jessica's shoulders and walked with her into the house.

once she was inside she saw a crying Lucy.

Nate saw Lucy crying as soon as they stepped inside. He dropped his stuff and rushed to Lucy to pick her up.

Jessica ran to lucy aswell seeing she was crying "Shes burned" Jessica said.

"How could this have happened? I thought your mother was watching her?" Nate was starting to get upset as Lucy continued to cry. He rushed her to the kitchen and put her tiny little hand under some cold water to try and soothe the burn a little bit.

Jessica marched upstairs to her mother and stareted to scream at her.

Nate continued to hold Lucy's hand under the cold water, trying not to listen to Jessica and her mother arguing in the room above them.

"How could you do this" jessica screamned
"Honey I-" jessica's mother started
"Don't honey me Thats my daughter" Jessica yelled
"I know that" jessica's mother responded
"Do you know that you left her unnattended she could have seriously hurt herself oh wait she already did" she said " You know forget it " Jessica then ran downstairs to nathan and lucy.

Nate heard Jessica come down the stairs as he was gently drying off Lucy's hand and bandaging it. He turned towards her once he was finished and pulled her close to him and Lucy. Lucy's cries had quieted down a little after the medicine Nate had given her and now she was just sniffling and whimpering.

"were not staying here" Jessica said simply.

(I feel like such a horrible person because I laughed at the arguing part.)

When Lucy's father held her tight, she immediately calmed down and sucked her thumb that wasn't burned.

(I did too)
Jessica looked at Lucy and smiled down at her.

"Okay, then we'll go back to my apartment. It'll be okay. Lucy will be okay." Nate tried to reassure Jessica.

Jessica looked back up at Nathan and reached and kissed his cheek.

Nate let go of Jessica to go grab his keys and the rest of his stuff so they could leave.
