Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to- Taylor Swift, Hey Stephen.


Penelope's POV

I twisted in the bed-sheets, before finally laying beside the man (well I say that...he's only got like 4 months to go untill he's 18) I fell in love with almost 2 months ago.

"Morning chicky" he whispered, stroking my cheek. My eyes slowly fluttered open, I smiled waking up beside him was the best thing ever.

"Morning handsome" I giggled.

He pressed a gentle and soft kiss on my lips, before laying back down beside me. I wrapped my arms around him as he just rested one over me a kept it there.

It felt like the most subttle and cherished moment, I didnt want it to end. Untill my phone went off that is.

One New Message- Veronica.

Hey chick, where are you? You didnt come home last night! I'm getting slightly panicing at home. Txt me as soon as you get this! R x

I shut my phone down and settled back into Pete's chest before shutting my eyes and trying to get back to sleep.

Dreaming...Dreaming...Penelope has entered Dreaming.

"Penelope"

I awoke in a hospital bed, with doctors and nurses saying my names.

I sat up and saw my Dad at the end of my bed.

I pulled up my eyes and shook a little but not enough to wake Pete.

I just sighed and settled back to sleep.

"Now just listen to me chicken, you're going to be ok. Daddy isnt going to hurt you"

I wiped a tear away from my cheek, I winced as my fingers brushed past one of my many briuses.

My Dad took my hand.

"You hurt Veronica and now you're hurting me" I screamed, snatching my hand back.

"Penelope! How dare you!" He slapped me around my badly briused cheek.

"I'm only 7" I whispered.

I turned away from Pete, hanged my arm out of bed and shut my eyes again.

"Veronica!" I screamed from the top of the stairs

"Ronnie dont leave me!" I screamed again, running down the stairs and wrapping my arms tightly around her.

"Ronnie, I'm 8 dont leave me with him" I sobbed into my sister's chest, my grip getting tighter around her.

Ronnie took my hands from around her back, held them and bent down to an inch below my height.

"Penny, listen to me"

I nodded.

"I'm going to go away for awhile and as soon as I get things sorted I'll come and get you"

she let go of one of my hands and stroked my cheek, wiping away my tear.

"You promise" I smiled.

Ronnie nodded.

She got up and placed a soft and promising kiss on my forhead before picking up her rucksack and opening the door.

And the door shut.

She was gone.

I sat up, picked up my mobile from the table beside me and flipped it open.

Send message to- Veronica.

Hey V, I'm fine. Dont worry, I'm with Peter I'm going to be staying at his for a while to get my head straight. Dont panic yeah? I love you. P. X

I shut down my phone, placed it back on the table before settling back down into bed and wrapping my arms back around my boyfriend trying to get some much needed sleep.

I knocked on the door.

"One second!" I heard my Gran's famillar voice comming through the hallway.

The door opened, she looked down at me in shock.

"Hi Gran" I started sobbing.

"Penelope come here"

She wrapped her arms around me.

I spent 7 years with my Gran in Weymouth, I had no contact with neither Mum or Dad. There was one person I had contact with.

Skype calling...Skye calling...

"Hey Penny"

"I thought you said you'd come and get me" I smiled.

"Look chicken, I cant get you out here right now. Its too complicated"

"Oh Ok" A pioanant look fell onto my face.

"Real sorry I have to go"

Skype call ended...Skype call ended...

I held onto Pete tighter realizing that I didnt want to loose him.

He turned and held onto me, he rested his chin on the top of my head.

And we stayed in that position for the rest of the night.


Sooo! Ronnie knew Penny all along?

And how will Ronnie react when she finds out Penny's sleeping with Peter?

Reveiw as alwayss.
