"You were"
"Hit? Abused? Damaged by someone who promised in front of God to love me?" Amy said
"Does Sheldon know?"
Amy shook her head, "And he can never find out."
"Amy you have to tell him. He has to know so he can-"
"So he could what?" Amy cut her off, "So he could look at me like some broken action figure that he needs to fix?"
"Amy he won't view you like that."
Amy scoffed, "yeah right."
"Amy you have to tell someone about this, Maybe the police? Suppose he's out there looking for you."
"I don't think he can. I remember hearing him scream after I set the house on fire." She said looking down
"Oh Amy"
"It was the only way to get out. He tracked the car, he bugged my phone. He had a friend in the police station, so if I went near to complain, he would find me. I didn't have a gun so I did the next best thing.
"If you know he's gone, why did you say think earlier?"
"Because someone called the firefighters. I saw them while I was running away. But he won't look for me here, he knows my mom is dead and my dad is MIA, and he thinks Sheldon moved to Sweden. I used my maiden name and told Dr. Siebert not to tell any other hospital I accepted a position here. So as far as he's concerned I dropped off the grid."
"Oh sweetie. I still think you should talk to some. A psychologist? Leonard's mother is the best I know."
"No. I won't allow him to take up my life anymore. He took so much from me Penny. So damn much. He took my youth, my joy, my freedom. He took a child from me Penny. I won't let him take anymore."
Penny wrapped her arms around Amy, "Then we won't let him." They held each other and cried for the next half hour until Amy's stomach grumbled. "I guess I should get something to eat"
"Come on I'll buy you lunch" Penny offered
They got to their usual table to see the whole gang was already there eating. Raj grabbed another chair when he saw Amy coming. "We were beginning to think you were avoiding us" Leonard joked
"I'm sorry. I just had a really chaotic schedule."
"Amy, I got this jewelry making kit, and I know its childish but I was wondering if for our next girls' night, you wanted to make bracelets or something?"
Amy smiled, "Sounds like fun. I'm free tonight, if you girls are?" Both blondes nodded, "So you bring the kit and Penny would bring the wine. My place at about 7?"
"I think I'm just making a mess" Penny said as she tried to unstick her hands
Amy and Bernadette laughed, "How can you be so clumsy with glue, yet such a good surgeon"
Penny stck out her tongue "Oh like yours is any better." She pointing to Bernadette's jumbled heap of beads and strings. Bernadette looked over at Amy's own, "Wow Amy. This is like almost perfect."
Amy sat on the floor surrounded by broken Christmas ornaments, broken dishes and food, and a fallen Christmas tree. Her cheek hurt and her lip was busted. "Almost perfect" he said, "Next time you could do better"
A/N: I know this chapter is short it's just to gain a little insight. Penny had to know about her past first for the story to in the direction I want it too.
