Part 7b

He's drunk again, it's time to fight

She must have done something wrong tonight

The living room becomes a boxing ring

It's time to run when you see him

Clenching his hands

She's just a woman

Never Again

I hear her scream, from down the hall

Amazing she can even talk at all

She cries to me, Go back to bed

I'm terrified that she'll wind up

Dead in his hands, She's just a woman

Never Again

Been there before, but not like this

Seen it before, but not like this

Never before have I ever

Seen it this bad

She's just a woman

Never Again

Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell

It starts to sting as it starts to swell

She looks at you, she wants the truth

It's right out there in the waiting room

With those hands

Lookin just as sweet as he can

Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this

Been there before, but not like this

Never before have I ever

Seen it this bad

She's just a woman

Never Again

Father's a name you haven't earned yet

You're just a child with a temper

Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?

Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure

He's drunk again, it's time to fight

Same old shit, just on a different night

She grabs the gun, she's had enough

Tonight she'll find out how fucking

Tough is this man

Pulls the trigger just as fast as she can

Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this

Been there before, but not like this

Never before have I ever

Seen it this bad

She's just a woman

Never Again

"Liz there is someone down stairs who wants to see you?" Isabel told her friend. Currently Liz was in the middle of teaching the little ones the 7 times table. Ok so maybe not teaching more like getting them to under stand what a times table was!

"Sure Izzy, I'll be right. Your be ok staying with them right?"

"I think I can handle my little terrors for 10 minutes, after that I don't know what to do!" Isabel laughed at the look on Liz's face. "I'm kidding Liz. I'll be fine with my children. I think I'll try teaching them the History of Antar."

"Well if you're sure. I'll try not to be too long ok?" With that Liz set on her way down the stairs to the front hall. 'Not that you can call it a hall! Its so big you could fit 10 on suite bedrooms in there!' Liz spotted the back of a man's head. She recognized it but couldn't place her hand on where she had seen it before. "Hello? Um did you need to see me?" Liz asked. The man began to turn around slowly. Flashbacks began,

*Flash*

A hand raised to strike her down

*Flash*

Blood pouring from a cut above her eye

*Flash*

"You dirty hoar! Because of you my wife is dead!"

*Flash*

"Your not mine. You've cost me money! I'm gonna kill you!"

*Flash*

a gun poised to shot, glinting in the shadows.

*End flash*

"Hello Lizzie." Before her stood her father Jeffery Parker. Her tormentor, her nightmares always consist of him.

"Jeffery. What are you doing here?"

"What no hug for your daddy dearest. No?" Liz just stared at him as if he was the dirt on the bottom of her shoe. No even lower than that. "Ok I want you to come home with me? I'm in debt and I gambled you. So now you belong to Tony."

"You bet me? You dirty bastard! How could you do that? No you can't bet me? You can't bet me, how did you even find me?"

"I have contacts! Also I had someone interrogate Kyle."

"You mean you had him beat up? How could you do that? I don't want you her. You're not my father, and I don't care what Tony does to you. You can die for all I care! Just go. You can't bet me, I'm not even sure that is possible."

"Ahhhh, but I did bet you, and now Tony wants you dead or alive. He doesn't care as long as I cough you up, you little tramp! And if you don't come willingly, than you will be dead!"

"What are you gonna do? Shoot me? Oh wait you already did that, when I would'nt become your slut! So come Jeff, if you gonna shot me just do it now and spear me a life with you in it!"

"I'm not gonna shot you! I'm gonna slice you open like butter!" Before Liz could react Jeff grabbed her and shoved a knife into her stomach. Liz let out a bittersweet scream. Michael came running in to see what had happened. He saw the knife, and had little time to react. He ran up behind the smaller man. Before Jeff knew it Michael had put him onto the floor with one smooth kick. The guard's came running in and grabbed Jeff before he could run off. Alex, Isabel and Maria came running in to see Liz. The ambulance was called and on its way. Michael called for Max and Maria let out a scream. All while Liz was unconscious. And when Max saw Liz the color drained from his face. But before he could heal her, the medics came, and Liz was rushed to hospital.
