The Life Of Unwanted Jonases
Chapter 10
**Joe's POV**
Am I really that bad? I shudder at the thought of what Jess said. My baby sisters, hurt, all because of me. I fell to my knees, crying. I thought of all the times I ever hurt Jess and Alex.
Why do I do this to them? Is it because mom and dad aren't around? Is it because famous life has taken such a toll on me? Or am I just evil and stupid?
I took a few minutes to cool down, giving both me and Jessica time to think. I finally mustered up the courage to go upstairs.
"Don't hit her, don't even touch her, you guys are just talking and that's it." I whispered to myself.
I knocked on her bedroom door.
"Jess? Can we talk?" I said.
There was no answer.
"Jessica, I know you're mad at me, but can't we talk about this?"
The door slowly opened.
"What?" She said.
I saw all the bruises and burns she had on her body. Ones I had given her. My eyes started tearing up. "I'm sorry." I whispered, unable to speak.
"You're what?"
I pulled her into a hug. I couldn't stop crying. "I'm sorry Jessie. I promise I'll never hit you or Alex again."
I could hear her crying too. I also heard her say something I have never heard her say.
"I love you, Joe." She said softly.
I smiled. "I love you too." I replied. "I promise I'll change."
