It's January 27th and Jack and Lucas are in Lucas' room playing, when Jack accidently hits Lucas.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Jack asked.

"Mommy!" Lucas screamed hysterically.

Brenda rushes into the room.

"What's going on in here?"

"Jack hit me!" A crying Lucas said.

"Did you hit him?" Brenda asked Jack.

"Yes, but it was an accident. I didn't mean to hit him. We were spinning around and we got too close to each other and I accidently smacked him." Jack explained.

"It wasn't an accident mommy. He did it on purpose."

"No it really was an accident." Jack said.

Brenda walks over to Lucas' closet and retrieves a belt. She then walks over to Jack.

"What are you going to do mommy?" Lucas asked.

"Jack needs to learn that lying is wrong." Brenda said.

"I'm not lying." Jack said.

"Turn around." Brenda said.

"Why?" A confused Jack asked.

"I said turn around!" Brenda angrily said as she violently turns Jack around. She raises the belt and hits Jack with it five times. On the fourth hit, she aimed a little too high because the belt buckle connected with his spine. Jack falls to the floor in pain. He isn't crying, but he is shocked because he has never been hit before. Brenda stands him up and looks at him.

"Are you going to hit Lucas again?"

"No Miss Harlow." Jack quietly said.

"Are you going to lie again?"

"No Miss Harlow."

"Smart answer Jack. Maybe if your mommy and daddy had raised you well, then you wouldn't be a selfish brat." Brenda said.

"I'm not a selfish brat! And don't say mean things about my mommy and daddy! They raised me very well!" Jack angrily shouted.

Brenda raises her hand and slaps Jack across the face. When her hand connects with Jack's face, it feels like a thousand bee stings.

"Ow!" A stunned Jack said as he placed a hand over the right side of his face.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that again! Do you understand?" Brenda shouted.

"Yes Miss Harlow." Jack said in a shaky voice.

"Are you going to hit me too mommy?" A scared Lucas asked.

"No sweetie, mommy isn't going to hit you. You're not a bad boy." Brenda said, reassuring her son.

"Is Jack a bad boy?" Lucas asked.

"Yes he is. Now how about you and I go down stairs to the kitchen and get some ice cream?"

"That's a great idea mommy!" An excited Lucas exclaimed.

"Go on down to the kitchen. Mommy will be there in a couple of minutes." Brenda said.

"Okay mommy." Lucas said as he walked out of the room.

Brenda then turned to Jack.

"You can stay right here in this room and think about what you did." Brenda said as she stormed out of the room and slammed the door.

For the rest of the day, Jack silently sat on the floor in front of his bed. He couldn't believe that Lucas lied and said that he hit him on purpose. He thought Lucas was supposed to be his friend. It scared him when Brenda hit him, but he didn't cry. No matter how hard she hit him, he wasn't going to let her see him cry. Jack wondered if Brenda will hit him again. What he doesn't know is that soon his life will become hell.
