Beautiful Mistake-Joe Jonas

*Chapter Eight*

    "Who did this?" He repeated loudly when I didn't answer. I flinched. He sighed.

    "Daddy." I whispered. He clenched his fists.

    "My brother did this to you?" He asked angrily.

    "Uncle Charlie-please-it doesn't matter-" I started.

    "Doesn't matter?" He yelled, standing up. I flinched again. "Why the hell would this not matter, Christina? Huh? Tell me that"

    "Because he's in the hospital in a coma. And when he wakes up, if he wakes up-he's going to jail." I said, choking on tears. He looked at me for a second before pulling me to my feet and hugging me tightly.

    "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. Please don't cry." He whispered. I tried to stop myself by taking shaky breaths. He rubbed my back soothingly. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked quietly. I shrugged, squeezing him tighter. I could finally speak after a few long minutes of calming myself down.

    "You had your life here and I didn't want to bother you." I said meekly.

    "You know you can always call me for anything." He said. I looked at him and smiled.

    "Now I don't have to." He smiled even bigger.

    "No, you don't." He agreed. He looked at me. "You gonna be ok?" He asked. I nodded, knowing he was talking about Joe.

    "I'll just forget about him." I shrugged. He kissed my head.

    "So what do you wanna do?" He asked.

    "I dunno-I'm kinda tired." I shrugged.

    "Well, go to bed-we'll do something tomorrow." He said lightly.

    "After you call that guy?" I questioned. He nodded.

    "I promise." I hugged him goodnight and kissed his cheek.

    "I love you, Uncle Charlie." I said. He smiled.

    "I love you, too, Nerd." I smiled and went up to my room. I climbed into bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

    I was woken up by two people jumping on my bed. I opened my eyes to see Willy Wonka and Frankie both grinning at me proudly.

    "We made breakfast." Frankie said proudly. I smiled.

    "And what did you make?" I asked, smiling at him.

    "McDonald's." He said and I laughed.

    "You're so cute." I said.

    "Thank you." He grinned. "Kevin and Nicky are downstairs with Ashy." He said as Charlie rolled off the bed and landed with a loud thud. Frankie clapped excitedly and Charlie popped his head up, grinning.

    "Alright, champ. Let's let Chrissie get up." Charlie said, lifting Frankie up and over his shoulder. Frankie waved sadly at me as they left my room. I groaned, rolling over and within minutes I was asleep again. Next thing I knew I was being flipped over someone's shoulder and carried downstairs.

    "This is a little much, don't you think?" I asked, yawning and squeaking.

    "No-now stop being cute." I heard Charlie say.

    "That won't be hard." I sighed. He dropped me on the couch, on people. I looked up to see Ashley, Kevin, Nick and Joe. I groaned and got up, sitting on the other side of Ashley.

    "Morning, Angel." Ashley smiled. I smiled back, rubbing my eyes.

    "Sup?" I said jokingly, jerking my head. Kevin, Ashley and Nick laughed. Joe just looked at me. I rolled my eyes and stood up, walking into the kitchen.
