*Chapter5*
"Mom!Callie took the tv guide away from me!"yelled a 7 year old girl with brown hair and green eyes.She looked very much like her mother but acted just like her father."I did not!"Yelled Callie a14 year old girl with Blond hair and Hazel eyes.She looked very much like her father but acted just like her mother."Girls!Get in here right now and bring the Tv guide!"Yelled Jo from the den.
The two girls walk into the den and Callie hands Jo the TV Guide.Jo opens the Tv guide to
about the middle."Does this look about even?"asked Jo as both the girls shake their heads
yes."Good."said Jo as she takes the Tv guide and rips it right down the middle."Callie heres your half."said Jo as she hands it to Callie."Why'd ya tare it."asked Callie."Don't
ask why just take it.Rosemarie here's your half."said Jo as she hands the half off to the
7 year old."Thanks I think."said Callie."Now please leave I have to go over this case for
tomorrow,I have to defend a gangster in court even though I know all the defense in the
world would'nt save his sorry butt."said Jo as Callie and Rosemarie leave.
Ten minutes later the phone rings and Callie runs into the room."Mom its dad should I tell
him your not here."said Callie."No Um..Just record the phone conversation like I showed
you."said Jo."Ok."said Callie as she leaves.
Jo picks up the phone and she hears a beep to let her know it started recording."Hello Rick."said Jo getting alittle bit nervous."Hey Jo sweety."said Rick."Dont Jo sweety me.Now what in the world do you want?"asked Jo in an angry voice."I want to come home I want to be your husban and a father to Callie and Rosemarie."said Rick in a way that would make you feel sorry for him.Well almost."You blew your chance a month ago,It would have been sooner like a year but I loved you too much!"yelled Jo."Don't you still love me?"asked Rick."No I dont and I am doing my best to keep my kids away from you,If you ever lay a hand on me or the kids I sware to God that I will report you and have you in jail."said Jo."Well sence we are divorced and I do have visitation rights I can do what ever I want to them and say that you did it."said Rick."Well not for long I am going to make sure that the kids are mine and that you can never have any rights to see them!"Yelled Jo."Well I looked into that too and if I can find you an unsuitable parent I can have Rosemarie taken away and to live with me. I would have Callie taken away but she's 14 so she has a say unlike Rosemarie.If I get Rosemarie I will make sure you never see her again."said Rick."You Jerk!You wouldn't You just keep away far away and I will see you in court whenever we can get a hearing."Said Jo getting upset."I will be buy later to get the kids for my two days and one night a month visit."said Rick as he hangs up the phone.
Jo hangs up the phone and sits there for a moment.I hope and pray that he does not lay a hand on any of them.Thought Jo as she puts her hand through her hair.
Later that day Jo,Callie and Rosemarie are sitting on the sofa waitting for Rick.Jo looks
over at the clock then at her watch."I wonder where he his?"asked Jo as she stands up then walks over to the window and looks outside."Maybe he got into a car wreck and is
laying by the side of the rode bleeding to death."said Rosemarie as her and Callie walk
over to the window they see Rick's car pull up."Wishful thinking."said Callie sarcastically.
"Do you have everything?"asked Jo as she opens the door."Yep."said Callie as she shows
Jo her bags."Yes."said Rosemarie as she lifts up her bags."Ok give me a kiss."said Jo as
she kisses her kids good-bye."Bye mom."said Callie as she runs out to Ricks car."Bye mommy."said Rosemarie as she runs outside and gets into Ricks car.
Jo walks into her bedroom around 12:00am that night.She walks over to her dresser and
gets out a baggy T-shirt and a pair of baggy pants.Jo looks up at the mirror that is hanging
over the dresser.She takes her shirt off and the mirror reveals large bruise across her shoulder.
I remember that night.Rick came home from work drunk as I have ever seen anyone before.He wanted me to make him something to eat when I told him that I was too tired he
yelled at me and through a glass at me.It took eight stitches.Hard to belive that it was almost a year ago when this all happened.
I still in some odd way love him,He is the father of my two children,It would have been three but I had a miscarriage.It was going to be a boy,We were going to call him Joseph
Rick Bonnor.thought Jo to herself as a tear slowly rolls down her face.
That next night after I loss the baby he again got drunk he really went at me he gave me the brusies on my arms you can still see them.He also gave me somemore deep cuts that needed stiches.Those you can still see like they were done just an hour ago when they went done a month ago.To think I lost my baby less then a month ago.Unreal.Thought Jo as she puts on a baggy shirt.
What has my life come to?Bad things just seem find to me.Everywhere I go something bad happens.I wonder what my life would be like if I lived back in New York close to my friends and Family.Well at least I'd have Mrs.G to give me some advice.She always
gave me the best advice.I really could use some advice on what to do with my life but I
told my kids and myself not to tell anyone what Rick has done.The court is the only one that knows.Its not like Rick's going to openly admit to anyone that he Hits his wife and Kids.Tears just roll down Jo's face as she thinks of this.
The kids God I could kill myself for letting him lay a hand on them.The night he hit me a year ago was when he also went after Callie.She got a D on her math test and well with
Rick being drunk he got mad and lashed out at her.She got three cuts one on her face that
looked like something that would happen if she fell while riding her bike.She also had one
on her right arm and one on her left arm.
Then that night he also went after Rosemarie.She just got a bruise on her right cheek.Thank
God the teacher's bought the story that Callie and Rosemarie got into a fight.If not Rick
would have ended up in jail and I couldn't do that to him THEN but now I would love for
him to rot to death behind bars till he dies.I still in a very sick and odd very odd way love
him.
Jo pulls her hair back into a poney tail and the mirror reveals a deep cut on her neck.Jo
stares at the cut.I wish that would heal.I mean how could it.He gave it to me when I forgot
to drop off something at his house two days ago.When will this all just end?Soon I hope.
I am all alone to hide my painful secrets to keep my secrets secret.Thought Jo to herself as tears roll down her face.
