Lie.

Tatiana woke up to the sound of her doorbell. She opened her eyes yawning.

"Who is it this early, can't I have a peaceful weekend " she complained getting out of bed.

Half awake she walked to the living room but stopped seeing someone walk to the door already and open it.

She froze having forgotten about him staying over, "Wait, don't open the door " she said but was too late as he swung it open.

"Morning, Tata..." she heard her mother and Patricia's voice say.

Jack smiled opening the door wide, "Mom, you here " he said.

"Jack " her mother walked in as he bent down to hug her.

"Morning, mother," he said

"Morning, am sorry we didn't know you were here," she said.

He closed the door after stunned Patricia walked in.

"It's okay, I guess you were worried about Tati," he said

"After what happened I had to come to see her, now I know why she refused me to come over last night "

"I told her to let you sleep since I was here with her," he said.

Tatiana felt her wound start to hurt again as she watched Jack lie and pretend like nothing was weird.

"Tatiana come help us, we bought some breakfast," Patricia said.

They walked to the kitchen, Jack helped them set the table while Tatiana made coffee. Her mother served the breakfast.

Sitting down, they had breakfast. Jack kept putting food on her plate, "Have more you need to eat before you take your medicine " he said.

"I can't believe he would do such a thing, he was always so calm and kind " her mother spoke out

"The guards took him to the police, Tatiana you need to go to the station for a statement," Patricia said.

"Okay "

"Should I go with you ?" Jack asked.

She turned to him, "No need I can go by myself "

"Let him go with you, so Mark can see that you have someone to protect you, " her mother said.

"Yeah, I agree with mother. After what he did to you he needs to show him that you have someone by your side willing to protect you " Patrica agreed.

"Tati ?" Jack called.

"Okay fine, we will go together "

He smiled and she looked away hiding her smile.

Tatiana was in her room with her mother while Patricia helped Jack was the breakfast dishes.

"How long have you been friends with Tati," he asked.

"Since high school " she answered.

"So you know everything about her ?" he asked.

"Yes, we are basically sisters "

"Then can I ask you a favour ?" he asked

"Yes, anything tells me " she answered.

"Tatiana doesn't want to tell me anything cause she thinks it's a bother cause am always busy. But after what happened I would like to know what she's doing or where she is so I can protect her better " ...." so can you help me with that "

Patricia giggled, "Sure, I will tell you everything that we will be doing, or where she will be heading too .so don't worry "

"Thank you, can I get your number ?" he passed her his phone.

Patrica hurriedly typed in her number.

Patricia and her mother soon after. She turned to Jack, "you amaze me at how good you're at lying "

"Just say I did a good job, I don't think your mother suspected anything," he said.

"Huh, you shameless ".

"Only with you " he smiled
