Okay, I still can't sleep, and everything just came rushing to me, so here's an other chapter. But this will be the last one for a short while ;P
Chapter 3.
Kelly awoke from the phone. She rolled over on her side, and the pain shot through her like a blade. She quickly sat up, took a few deep breaths before answering the phone.
"Hallo?"
"Hi sweetie. How is the body of yours feeling? Up for another massage?"
Kelly could feel the fear rise up through her spine and hit her heart. Justin. No.
"Leave me alone!!" She yelled before throwing the phone back to it's place. She felt the tears starting to come down from her eyes, and she buried her sore face in her hands and let the tears out. Why? Why did he come back after so many years? Why did he began haunting her now? Why did she have so many questions roaring inside of her head, but so few answers? She hadn't seen him since she left Dallas. She felt a big urge to call the nuns in the orphanage. They knew all about this, they had helped her the first time. But she couldn't risk that. She didn't know if her house was bugged, and the phone could be tapped. She couldn't risk anything. She had to keep this to herself, she had to solve this.
After a few minutes she pulled herself together, and tried to get up. The pain in her stomach made her knees buckle and she was forced back down into the bed. She looked at her watch, it had just passed 07 am. Good. No one would expect her for a few hours. She closed her eyes and reached for the painkillers in her drawer, swallowing a few pills dry since she didn't have any water next to her.
A few hours later the pain had subsided slightly, and she managed to roll out of bed, keeping on hand against her abdomen. She slowly walked into the bathroom and she saw her reflection in the mirror. She sighed, and winced when she touched her cheeks, it was still very purple, very swollen, and definitly very sore. She got into the shower and looked her body over. It was also still very purple, swollen and sore. She got out of the shower, and suddenly felt really dizzy. She grabbed onto the doorframe when she blacked out for a second, but managed to stay on her feet. She walked into the livingroom and sat down in the couch for a few minutes before heading to the `Munroe beach house.´
"Did you talk to Kelly last night?" Jill asked Sabrina.
"Yeah. I went by her house."
"And?"
"Something's really wrong. I've seen many abused women in my life, and she definitly did not walk in to a door. She said she didn't want to tell me, because she didn't want me to get hurt. Someone must have threatened her."
"Oh… But who?"
"I don't know. I wish I did." Sabrina said, biting her lip.
"Well, she have to tell us sooner or later. She just has to realise it herself first. You all know Kelly, there's no sense to push her, she just climbs into a shell, lock and throw the key away. It's better to wait until she wants to tell us."
"But Bosley, she needs help now. She's in serious pain, she's vomiting, she even broke down and began crying last night." Sabrina said, tears of fear welling up.
She was standing outside the beach house, looking up at the stairs. Kris was rebuilding her normal entrance, so she had to park by the road, walk down to the beach, and then climb up the white stairs leading to the porch. `How the hell am I supposed to get up there?´ Kelly wondered. `This will be interesting…´
Kris walked by the window and noticed Kelly standing in the sand, in front of the stair. She looked at her for a moment. The worry she had yesterday for her friend was now increased by a great amount.
"What are you staring at kiddo?" Jill giggled as she, Sabrina and Bosley walked into the room, holding bread, drinks and sandwich-spreads.
"Kelly." Kris said, biting her lip.
The others walked up to her, and saw Kelly, still staring at the first step.
"Wanna eat outside?" Sabrina suggested fast and the others nodded.
Kris got a salver from the kitchen and loaded everything onto it. Bosley, Sabrina and Jill grabbed everything that didn't fit on it and they began walking down the stairs.
"Good morning Kelly!" Jill smiled, trying to cover her worry, as she walked down the stairs.
"Oh. Good morning.""You up for picnic?" Kris smiled, and Kelly smiled happily back.
"Oh, yes!"
Jill pulled up the blanket, and Kris put down the salver, and began spreading out the things from it. The others joined them, sitting down on the big blanket.
"You feeling any better?" Sabrina asked carefully.
Kelly nodded slightly, having a sip of the water. She stared down at the blanket. She knew what they were thinking. They were wondering if she was going to eat anything. They were wondering who had beaten her up. They were wondering why she didn't want to tell them. She wanted to. But she couldn't. Justin would find out. He would hurt them too. She could not let that happen. But why was she so afraid of him? She knew she could easily talk to her friends, have him arrested and sleep well during the nights. She was a great detective. She'd been a great cop. Why couldn't she handle this? She didn't have an answer to that question. Instead she put away the glass and laid down with her head on Bosley's lap, closing her eyes, and putting her hands on her abdomen. Bosley carefully stroke her hair out of her face, noticing her forehead was getting worm, but no one in the group commented on this. They knew she was in pain, but if they asked, she would answer that she was fine. Kelly Garrett is a very stubborn lady.
They stayed at the beach all day long. Kris made them lunch, and then they just laid back in the sand talking the entire day. Kelly was pleased with the relaxing day, and the others enjoyed each others company, even if they looked Kelly over every fifth minute, making sure she didn't pass out or anything. By dinnertime they gathered up inside the house, Bosley helped Kelly up the stairs. Inside she walked over to the bathroom, being obviously sick. She felt dizzy, and the pain in her abdomen was killing her. She rose from the floor, and she heard a banging on the other side of the door.
"Kelly? Are you okay in there?" Sabrina asked worried."I'm fine. I'll be right out…"
Kelly washed off her face gently, and had a few sips from the water. She then washed down some more painkilling that she'd brought. They didn't help much, but they helped a little.
She walked out and met up with the others. They didn't saw anything, and they didn't have to either.
"I'll think I'll head home… I'm getting tired…"
"I can drive you.""No thanks Bosley, I'll be fine."
Kelly slowly walked out the doors and carefully made her way down the stairs. She got into her car and walked into the house. She lit the lights, turned around and panic instantly rose to the surface as she faced the man she's been terrified of her entire life.
Justin Matthews.
Sorry about the cliffhanger ;D Please tell me what you think! :D
