I am co-hosting this story with Kickinit1036 PM us and review... Enjoy!
Kims POV
I was just sitting down eating dinner. My phone beeped. I picked it up to check it. It was Jack, he texted 'Wanna come over tonight?' I was about to respond when my dad grabbed my phone to see what it was. "It's seven o'clock at night Kimberly, are you really going over your friends house?" I reached to grab my phone, but he pulled it away from me... "Dad, we're just working on a science fair project."
Dad - "I don't want you going to his house." He slapped my phone on the table cracking it and making a really loud bang. I decided to just run. I ran into my room and I was about to slam my door shut and lock it, but he blocked me from closing it. "Come on Kimmy..." I heard my dad say, though I wasn't looking. I knew by over the years not to look him in the eyes when he is angry. And I knew he was angry, it just didn't find its way to his fists and feet yet. Then I heard someone yell from down the hall.
Mom - "Don't you lay one finger on my daughter!"
Dad - "She is OUR daughter!"
Mom - "Not with the way you treat her!"
My dad ran over and hit her a couple times. "Dad! No! STOP! DADDY PLEASE! DON'T HURT MOM!" He looked at me and I could see the pissed off look in his eyes. Uh-oh, I was looking in his eyes. He leaped up and started to walk over to my door. I slammed it and locked it. I could hear him ramming into my bedroom door. I can see it bending, and I knew soon, it would snap! I hurriedly grabbed my suitcase and started shoving clothes and emergency stuff in it. The bag had just been zipped, when BAM! There was suddenly a whole in my wall. My dad hopped through and tossed me onto my bed. My baby isn't leaving me for any other man. First dad, I not a baby anymore. I've grown up. I'm almost 18. My birthday is 5 and a half weeks from now. And second Jack is just a boyfriend." My dads fists and face turned red and hit me right in the gut. "No! Wait that came out wrong! I meant a friend that's a boy."
Dad - "Yeah! A boy that just turned 18 and is asking you to go over his house at 7 o'clock at night! To work on a project!" I pushed my dad off of me and he fell onto the floor. I jumped off my bed and threw my suitcase out my back window. I slid my feet through the window first, then the rest of me. I was just about through when my dad pulled my hair trying to get me back inside. I dug my nails into his skin causing him to let go of me. I smashed the window closed. snatched my suitcase off the ground and ran as fast as I could. I got to Jack's house, I was standing in his front lawn. I was almost there. Almost safe enough to relax for a moment. didn't like me very much. She always said something like "You are ruining Jacks' relationship with Grace." I mean I know I love him, but I'd never do that to hurt my best friend.
So, me and Jack had a little "back-up plan" for when we wanted to hang out. I knocked on his window and he let me in the back door when the coast was clear. Sometimes it was seconds, others it was hours. Anyways, I'm waiting for Jack to open the door when I see my dad coming. I am the most scared in my life right now. My dad has never gotten this mad, he never actually came looking for me. I hid in the bush next to Jacks' back door until I saw him leave. The door swung open and I dragged my suitcase in as quietly as I could. But of course, there were stairs. So, the wheels hit them making a loud POP noise when one fell off. UH-OH not again, the suitcase got stuck on the rock. I dropped my stuff and dove into Jack's kitchen.
I had no clue what I was going to tell him. Or his mom. I had twigs in my hair from the bush, a bruise on my stomach that was very visable, and my dad had just beat me so I was out of breath and crying. Jack helped me up as I had fallen on the tile floor. All I remeber was being dizzy. Very dizzy.
~AN HOUR LATER~
I just woke up, in Jacks bed. Oh no! I looked up, let my eyes adjust and screamed. Jacks mom was hovering over me with an aggervated look on her face. She was argueing with Jack. I listened pretending I was still asleep.
- "Why was she at our back door!"
Jack - "She has a name, Kim, and she was coming over."
- "You know I don't like her at all!"
Jack - "I know mom, but I do. I like her A LOT! And you can never change that!" I could tell Jack was starting to cry by the squeaky sound of his voice. "I was sneaking her in because I knew that YOU would NEVER in a million years let her in!"
- "That's right! She is a bad influence and I don't want you hanging out with her!"
Jack - "Well no matter what you do or say I'm gonna! Go ahead ground me, make me sit in the corner, take my phone away, I don't care what you do or say. Me and Kim are as close as anyone can ever be. You are NEVER gonna take that away from me!" His mom stormed out slamming the door behind her. I was going to sit up, but then I heard the phone dialing. She pranced back in showing him the number that was dialed. ALL BOYS MILITARY SCHOOL OF CALIFORNIA!
NO Jack can't leave!
Jack - "No mom! Please, anything but that! I'll never see Kim again!"
- "That's the plan!"
Jack - "But then I'll never see Grace either." He knew why she didn't like me.
- "Fine I'm calling Uncle Benny. How do you like that?"
Jack - "Hah. What's Uncle Benny gonna do? Give me a stern talk?..."
- "No. You're going to move in with him... Grace visits her grandparents there every summer."
Jack kicked the phone out of her hand and caught it. Then it rang?
Jacks POV
"Hello?"
- "Hi. Jack? Is Kimberly there?"
Me - "Yeah... Why ?" My mom reached for the phone but I pushed her out of my room and locked the door.
- "Good. I wasn't sure where she ran off to. I'm glad it was your house, she should be safe there."
Me - "What do mean?"
- "Kimberly didn't tell you? Her dad- Ahh no-" The line cut off.
Me - "Hello? Hello? ?"
Kims POV
I sat up finally. "What happend to my mom?!"
Jack hugged me real tight. "You're okay!"
Me - "Ow, But my mom's not." Jack let go of me with a confused expression on his face...
Jack - "Huh?"
I lifted my shirt to show him all my bruises from my dad. "My dad beats me Jack, and my mom." I started tearing up.
Jack - "Oh my god Kim, ARE you okay?"
Me - "No Jack, I hurts soo much..." I wrapped my arms around him, and started balling my eyes out on him. "It really really hurts!"
