Hello, readers. Here is my second Jonnie fic, The Girl in the Corner. It will be centred around Bonnie's relationship with her father Arthur, one that turns unhealthy for Bonnie after her father starts drinking again. This fic introduces Bonnie's father Arthur Kincaid and Celine Bernstein, her father's assistant who is a mother figure to Bonnie.
This may contain triggers of child abuse, so if you're not comfortable with it then maybe this isn't a fic for you.
Look forward to hearing your feedback, getting reviews is a highlight of my day!
The Girl in the Corner
Bonnie rushed home quickly from Justin's house. She picked up her school shoes and just ran in her tights.
Bonnie lived with her father Arthur and occasionally his bimbo of a girlfriend Hannah. Arthur Kincaid was a wealthy, business owner with 10 years in wholesale under his belt. Arthur's company Kincaid Industries was present in 12 different countries providing circuit boards and custom systems around the globe.
Tragically, Bonnie's mother Faith had died from cancer when she was 12, leaving her and her younger brother Clyde behind with her father. Clyde suffered from autism and Bonnie struggled to look after him especially during his violent outbursts. Arthur instantly turned to drink after Faith's passing which cost him his son Clyde who was placed into care as Arthur was deemed unfit to look after Clyde but Bonnie was left in the hands of her father.
Bonnie opened the door of her large family home, she dropped her shoes beside the door and walked into the large hallway. She was greeted by the kind face of the housekeeper Gina.
"Good evening, Bonnie. Nice day at school?" Gina asked.
"Very nice thank you, Gina. Where's my father?" she asked of the woman.
"Kitchen, my dear" Gina pointed to the way of the kitchen for Bonnie. Bonnie walked towards the kitchen and found her father at the dinner table on his laptop, sat across from him was his assistant Celine.
"Hello Bonnie" Celine said happily as she looked up towards the girl. Celine Bernstein was a woman of about 30 whom her father had hired years ago, she was a kind hearted brunette with impeccable fashion sense. Celine had been the one to help Bonnie become less frumpy and more attractive after she had become concerned with Bonnie's bullying. She played a mother figure for Bonnie and loved being around the girl.
"Hello Celine, Father" She said sitting at the table next to Celine.
"Honey bunch, how was school?" Her father looked up from his laptop towards his teenage daughter.
"Good, what's for dinner?" She asked.
"We're having Chinese takeout. I ordered your favourites, Bon" Celine said.
"Oh I would kill for sweet and sour pork right now" Bonnie sighed. She closed her eyes, Justin's face flashed in her mind, the memory of him kissing her.
Arthur's phone rang. Bonnie was pulled out of fantasy.
"Sorry girls, work" He said picking up the phone.
"This better be good, Francis. Or I will tear you limb from limb!" He yelled down the phone.
"Come on Bon, let's go to your room I need to talk with you" Celine said as she stood up and her and Bonnie went to her bedroom. Bonnie's bedroom was a dark pink colour with one wall covered in a pretty flower print wallpaper. She had a relatively large bed, a dressing table, a severely cluttered desk, a black sofa and a magnificent wardrobe. Celine sat on Bonnie's bed.
"Bonnie, your father has been talking to me and he's very happy with Hannah…so much that he wants to marry her" Celine said to Bonnie who had now taken a seat on her sofa.
"What?! Hannah's a bimbo, a cheap bimbo!" Bonnie yelled in protest. She hated Hannah, she was so fake.
"He's also thinking about moving to America…" Celine continued until Bonnie interrupted abruptly.
"No…Celine I'm just finishing school, thinking about college, what I want to do with my life, I've got a boyfriend…" Bonnie exclaimed.
"A boyfriend?" Celine perked up at this and smiled at the girl.
"His names' Justin, and he's just lovely" She sighed at his memory.
"If you don't want to go to America, you can come and live with me" Celine offered.
"Really? Celine, you're like a mum to me and that would be brilliant" Bonnie said as she hugged her.
"Not if I have a word in it" Arthur said angrily in the doorway.
"Father" Bonnie uttered shocked. Arthur walked into the room an air of danger about him. He walked up to Celine and pulled her up, roughly.
"Get out of my house" He ordered. Celine was taken aback with the strong smell of vodka on his breath.
"Arthur, you've been drinking" Celine said steadily.
"I said get out" He repeated.
"Arthur, your drunk. I think you should go to bed" Celine said again but this time a little fear in her voice. He grabbed Celine and started to drag her down the stairs. He opened the door and shoved her outside. Bonnie hurried behind trying to pull her father off of Celine.
"Get off my property and I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN! YOUR FIRED!" He yelled at Celine, saliva spewing from his mouth.
"Bonnie, I think you should come with me" Celine stated. Bonnie nodded and reached out for Celine's hand.
"My daughter is going nowhere with you, you crazy bitch!" Arthur yelled grabbing Bonnie and flinging her behind him, so hard that Bonnie fell to the floor. Celine gasped and tried to rush forward to Bonnie.
"Bonnie, are you ok?" Celine asked in haste.
"I will take care of my own daughter! Get off my property before I call the police, Miss Bernstein" Arthur said coldly as he slammed the door in Celine's face. Bonnie looked at her father in fear.
What will happen to Bonnie? Justin will feature in the next chapter, I promise. R&R is highly requested and begged for. I would like to know what you think about this. Any idea's, things you'd like to see. Drop me a PM, I dont bite.
