Mia's POV

"Josh?" I ask cautiously, as Alan hands me the phone. "Mia, honey, is that you?" He asks me. "Yeah, Josh, it's me," I say, smiling.

"How've you and Jax been?" I ask. "Jaxon's in college," he replies, "it's been hard on him not having you here." I nod, "I'm sorry, Josh. I love you."

"I love you too, kid," he replies. "Can I talk to Jaxon?" I ask. "He's at school, it's break though, you should be able to reach him. Alan has his number," he says. I nod, "Bye Josh. I love you."

I call Jaxon's phone, and he picks up on the third ring. "Alan?" He asks. "No, Jax, it's me Mia," I say slowly. "Sis, are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah, I'm fine. Listen, Jax, I'm sorry I left. I know it's been hard on you. I'm sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose. I love you, bro," I cry.

"Ssssh Mia, it's okay. I know. Please don't cry," he coos. "No. I left you when you needed me most it's not okay," I say, continuing to cry. "Don't blame yourself. It's okay. I'm fine Mia, just please don't cry," he says, sniffling, like he's about to cry too.

"I gotta go Jaxon. I'll be home soon. I love you " I say. "I love you too Mia, say strong," he replies.

I hand Alan his phone, and brush away all my tears. "You okay, sweetheart?" Alan asks. "Yeah, I'm fine, trust me," I lie. "Mia, you don't have to lock your feelings up inside. Let them go," he says.

"I hurt Jaxon. I hurt Josh. I hurt you. I hurt AJ, Pres, and Rowe. I hurt Brycie. I hurt Chad. I hurt Fallon. I hurt Caleb. I hurt Kels. I hurt Joey. I hurt a ton of people, Alan, there's no way they can all forgive me," I sigh.

"Yes, there is a way. Darling, they all love you. Love keeps no record of wrongs. We all care, and love you. You're forgiven, my dear," Alan says, kissing my forehead. I kiss his cheek, "Love you." He grins, "You too."

"You wanna go home?" Chad asks. I nod, "I miss Josh and Jaxon. I've missed you guys too though. I'm sorry I ran away."

"It's okay, love. At least, we've got you back now," Joey says. "I'm never leaving again, I promise. I need you guys more than anything," I admit.

"We need you too, kiddo. You might've helped us more than we've helped you," Caleb says. "I highly doubt that, Mr. Grimm. You guys are my world," I whisper the last part.

"You're my world, dear. All my girls are my world," Alan says. I lean over and hug him, "Thanks Al. You're the best." He grins, "Obviously." I playfully slap his shoulder, "You don't have to brag."

"Now, now children," Caleb says, taking charge. "I'm older than you," Alan points out. "Yes, but I am much mods mature," Caleb says. "Wanna bet?" Alan smirks, raising an eyebrow. Caleb quickly shakes his head, "No!"

"Just so you guys know, I have to return my purity ring to Josh," I sigh. "Darling, your past is your past. We all make mistakes. I'm sure Josh will understand," Chad says. "I know he will. But I'm not ready to forgive myself," I tell them.

"Did he hurt you while you were with him?" Caleb asks. I shrug, "I dunno." Alan looks shocked, "Oh gosh he did! Now I'm gonna have to kill this guy! He hurt my little girl!"

"Alan, Mia's not your little girl," Joey says awkwardly. Alan nods, "Yes she is. This Josiah character hurt her. I'm gonna find him and give him a piece of my mind."

I lay my hand on his chest, "Please don't. You'll make it worse." I begin crying again. I can't help it. Josiah did do some bad things to me, but I've gotten over it, and Alan should too. Si, in the end, was pretty good to me.

"Sssh, it's okay love," Joey whispers, rubbing my back. "No. Alan, you have to promise me you won't do anything to or about Josiah," I say. "I can't. He hurt you, my dear, I can't let him get away with that," he shakes his head.

I can't stop the tears. At least it's not anger, I'd hate myself if I yelled at Alan one more time. I think he's trying to ruin my life right now.

"Come here kiddo," Caleb says, lifting me up bridal style. I lay on the couch, with my head in his lap. My thoughts are still spinning and I can hardly think strait.

"He can't be doing this to me," I murmur. Caleb brushes some hair out of my eyes, "What was that, kid?" I shake my head, "Nothing Caleb, I'm fine."

Caleb doesn't seem convinced, but doesn't talk about it. He starts signing a song to me, one I don't recognize.

"It was called Mended by Matthew West," he says. "It's was beautiful," I compliment him. "And all the words are true," Caleb whispers.

"You're a diamond, girlie, they can't break you!" Chad yells across the room. I grin, "Thanks Chaddy!"

I feel Alan draping a blanket over me. "Get some sleep, my dear," he whispers, kissing my forehead. I shift around a little, Caleb lets out a slight chuckle. He kisses my hair, "Nighty night Miss Mia."
