Amanda arrived at the sixteenth precinct at eight sharp. She went to the back of the car and picked up a box. She walked into the busy place and caught her new captain while she was exciting the elevator.

"Captain Cragen?" Amanda said as she bumped into him. "I'm Amanda Rollins you interviewed me a while back."

"Yes right now is not a good. I'll fine you in later." Cragen said entering the elevator.

"You can fill me in now. Here hon, will you stash this somewhere for me. Thank you." Amanda said handing her box to an officer. "I'm ready to work."

"Great lets go." Cregan said pushing the button.

Amanda and Cregan went to the crime scene to see what the case is going to be like.

At school Kelly found her way to her first class. Math. Kelly always did well in school and she took all advanced classes.

Kelly was in class board staring out the window. She missed her old friends and the quietness of Georgia. Here there is always noise. Kelly was staring into space when someone pushed her shoulder.

"Kelly pay attention." Her math teacher Mr. Taylor said.

"Sorry Mr. Taylor. I'll pay more attention." Kelly said shifting in her seat. The rest of the period she drifted in and out.

Kelly was walking to her next class when she bumped into this girl. She dropped her books and Kelly tried to help but the girl, Emily pushed her away.

"Hey white trash why did you push? Who do you think you are?!" Emily said standing up in front of her three friends.

"I didn't mean to push ya. Guess I wasn't paying attention. I was trying to find my next class. I'm new here, I'm Kelly." Kelly said reaching her hand out ignoring the fact she was pushed.

"Did I ask you? You better watch out." Emily said pushing Kelly outside of the house and into the locker next to her with her friends laughing at her as they followed.

Kelly looked back at them. She figured she wouldn't even see them again.

The rest of the day went by fine. Kelly was in her last period of the day study. She was doing her homework when the bell rang and Kelly was rushing the pack her stuff in her backpack while she was walking out and bumped into this guy again.

"Ohh sorry didn't see ya there." Kelly said picking her books up not even looking up.

"Nah its my fault I should have been more careful. I'm Greg by the way." Greg said standing up.

"I'm Kelly." Kelly said standing up.

"You're the new girl, right?" Greg said.

"Yea I just came today" Kelly said smiling.

"Where you from? You have a southern accent." Greg said smiling.

"I'm from Atlanta, Georgia." Kelly said.

"That's really cool. Hey we should hang out sometime. Can I have your number?" Greg asked taking out his phone.

"Yea its 555-345-9990." Kelly said blushing.

"Great I'll text you later. See you later Kelly" Greg said smiling leaving.

Kelly smiled as she walked away down the hall to her locker. When she got to her locker she put her stuff away and closed it to reveal the same girls from earlier in front of her.

"What were you doing talking to Greg?!" Emily said pissed off with her little posy behind her.

"None of your business." Kelly said trying to leave but Emily pushed her back.

"I told you not to mess with me. Greg is mine. You better stay away or else." Emily said.

"Or else what?" Kelly said getting annoyed.

"Or else I will make your life a living hell." Emily said moving closer to Kelly.

Kelly was walking away and mumbled, "Yea like using all the hair dye in world."

Emily heard and turned around walked back in front of Kelly and kneed her in the stomach. Kelly fell to the ground.

"No like that like bitch." Emily said kicking her in the stomach again in the same spot and leaving. Kelly moaned and held her stomach. She finally got up and gathered her books.

Kelly's phone started to ring. "Hey Kel you almost ready? I'm outside waiting with Alex." Amanda said.

"Yea Mom I'm on my way out." Kelly said hanging up and walking down the hall trying to ignore the pain shooting threw her side. Three minutes later Kelly walked outside to the car and got into the front seat.

"Hey honey how was your first day?" Amanda asked pulling out.

"It was fine. Normal day" Kelly said giving a fake smile. "How was work?"

"Work was work." Amanda said giving a small smile. Amanda never liked bringing her work home with her. She wanted to keep her girls protected from that world.

"Mommy I drew you an abstract picture today in art class!" Alex said excitedly from the back.

"An abstract drawing? Wow I can't wait to see it sweetheart" Amanda said giggling and smiling.

"Kelly I was going to make you one but then I ran out of time because it we had to go read independently." Alex said to Kelly.

"That's alright Alex. I can see Moms later." Kelly said looking back.

"Ok Kel!" Alex said happily.

Amanda loved when her girls were being kind to each other. The rest of the car ride Alex talked about her day and Amanda would look back at her and say "Ohh" and "really?" She was concerned with Kelly because she seemed like she was uncomfortable and didn't say anything. Just stared out the window. Amanda pulled up to the apartment building twenty minutes later.

"Mommy I'm going to get my picture for you!" Alex said running in holding her backpack by the strap and to the couch. Amanda smiled as she closed the door and put her keys on the table.

"Ok honey. I'll get a magnet to put it on the fridge." Amanda said smiling.

"I'm going to go hang in my room and do homework until dinner." Kelly said walking towards her room trying to suck up the pain.

"Hey hey wait. I want to her about your day. You didn't say much in the car. Was school alright?" Amanda said walking up behind Kelly putting her hand on Kelly's shoulder.

"Yea Mom it was fine. We didn't do anything interesting. Just work." Kelly said putting a fake smile on.

Amanda sighed. "Well alright. I was thinking of just ordering Chinese for dinner. Does that sound good?"

"Yea that sounds good." Kelly said walking away.

Amanda sighed and went back to Alex and sat on the couch next to see her picture.

Kelly went into the bathroom to see her bruise. She lifted up her shirt and looked into the mirror. Her side had a huge black and purple colored bruise. Kelly slightly poked it.

"ssss, awww." Kelly whined. She pulled her shirt down and opened the cabinet mirror and took Motrin out and took two pills and swallowed water from the sink and went to her and Alex's room. She worked on homework and listened to music after she finished until Amanda called her for dinner.

"Kel time for dinner. Come eat while its hot." Amanda said placing plate out.

"Coming Mom." Kelly said. She was starting to feel better from the Motrin.

"Smells good." Kelly said sitting next to Alex and across from Amanda at the island in the kitchen.

"Looks good too." Alex said while Amanda put food on her plate.

"I know right" Amanda said sitting down serving herself and then everybody started to eat. They ate and Amanda and Alex held most of the conversations. The only time Kelly spoke is when she was promoted to. After dinner everybody watched their plates and Amanda put the leftovers in the fridge, while Kelly showered and Alex played.

Kelly went into her room and was putting her shirt on when Alex came in and saw the huge bruise on Kelly's side.

"Whoa Kelly how did you get that?" Alex asked pointing at Kelly's side.

"Why didn't you knock!" Kelly said quickly putting on her shirt and closing the door so Amanda wouldn't hear.

"What happened?" Alex asked.

"If I tell you, you have to keep it a secret. Mom can never know." Kelly said sitting on her bed.

"I promise Kelly." Alex said sitting next to Kelly on her bed.

"It's not a big deal. This mean girl kicked me in the stomach. It doesn't even hurt." Kelly lied about the last part not wanting to scare Alex.

"Well why did this mean girl hurt you?" Alex asked.

"She was jealous because this cute boy wanted my number." Kelly said smiling.

"Really?! Did you give it to him?" Alex asked very excited.

"Yes I did. He's going to text me later." Kelly said.

"You can't tell Mom though Alex. She will ask so many questions. You know Mom." Kelly said.

"I won't I promise." Alex said huffing.

"Alright good." Kelly said laughing.

"Alex time to take a shower and get ready for bed." Amanda yelled to Alex.

"Coming Mommy." Alex said getting up.

"Remember don't say anything." Kelly said standing up.

"I won't" Alex said leaving.

Kelly laughed and was pulling her covers down when her phone buzzed.

New Message – Unknown.

Kelly swiped her phone to see the message.

Hey Kelly! Its Greg. How are you?"

Kelly smiled and sat down on her bed and replied.

Hi Greg! Nothing much. What's up with you?"

Nothing much just getting ready for bed. Hey you what study do you have? We can go to the library tomorrow during the period if you want. I have G.

I have G too! Yea lets meet up in the library tomorrow. See ya tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!

Kelly blushed and smiled then put her phone on the charger and saw it was about nine and decided to watch one show before she went to bed in the living room. Then Amanda and Alex walked in.

"Alright sweetie time for bed." Amanda said pulling the covers back on Alex's bed.

"Will you read me a story Mommy. Ppppplllleeeaaasssseee." Alex begged.

Amanda smiled and put Alex in the bed and sat next to her. "Alright, but just one" Amanda said picking a book off the night stand next to her.

"Thank you!" Amanda smiled and started reading. Ten minutes later Alex fell asleep. Amanda smiled and got up.

She kissed her on the forehead and said, "Goodnight love. I love you so much."

Amanda left and saw Kelly getting up off the couch.

"Hey you all right love. You seemed off tonight." Amanda said.

"I'm sure Mom. School is just boring. I'm fine though really." Kelly said smiling.

"You know you can talk to me Kel, right?" Amanda said pulling Kelly into a hug.

"I know Mom." Kelly said accepting her hug gladly.

"I'm gonna go to bed now. I'm tired. Love you goodnight." Kelly said leaving her moms embrace.

"Love you too sweetheart. Sleep well." Amanda said siting on the couch.

Amanda laid back on the couch and thought about Kelly. She had a feeling she couldn't shake that something was wrong with her. She got up to go to bed and fell asleep worrying about Kelly.

Thanks for reading! Remember to Review!
