Author's note:
Hi everyone. I'm so sorry this took so long in updating. I didn't think
anyone cared, because the other story I have up on fiction press isn't
getting even one review. Anyway, I reread my story, and I think I know
where I'm going with this. Also, I changed the formatting back to normal
from what it was, so hopefully that, combined with double spacing will help
you guys out. Please let me know if you want more, and I'll be happy to
update. And if anyone would like to be my beta reader and offer to format
things since I'm blind and I don't know what things like that look like,
review and let me know. Ok I'll shut up now.

Sun streamed in through Jenny's window, making the occupant of her bed very unwilling to open her bloodshot, and bruised eyes. Jenny heard her father nonchalantly making breakfast. She couldn't believe he could be so happy after the shit he put her through. (sorry if you're offended by swears.) She got up, wincing as her reflection showed her bruised cheeks, and her bruised ribs, through the t shirt she had on over a pair of shorts. She took a shower, feeling more pain as the water coursed over her sore body and went downstairs. "Sit down and eat, sweetie. I wanted to apologize for last night, but first, drink this," he said handing her a huge glass of juice. She eyed it suspiciously, and figured he'd wanted her to drink that, and take a pregnancy test. Her father's penetrating gaze didn't leave the blue cup, until Jenny began drinking it. Halfway through, her phone rang upstairs. Catching the break she so desperately needed, she ran up and snatched it on the second ring. "Hello?? "Hey it's Erin. I wanted to see if you wanted to come swimming with me and Michele. I just got that totally hot bikini, and I want to, Jenny? Are you ok?" "Just let me change, and come get me," Her voice cracked. Erin, knowing her friend very well, told her to bring a change of clothes, she was spending he night. After ending her conversation, she glanced up to find her dad in the doorway. "Where are you going?" He demanded. "I'm sleeping at Erin's." Her voice replied in a calm tone. He handed her and object. Glancing down, she saw what it was and immediately threw it down. "Dammit dad, just because I went out last night, doesn't mean I slept with someone, and it doesn't even show up now anyway." Her father took one step toward her, his hand raised to strike her. "Take, it." Jenny refused, causing her father to begin beating her. The doorbell rang a few minutes later, with Jenny lying now almost unconscious on the floor. Erin ran up and shook Jenny. There was no response so she grabbed her and ran to the person she knew would help her. Eric Camdon. Eric heard a panicked girl on the phone describing what she'd seen, so he offered to meet her at the hospital in ten minutes. He grabbed Detective Michaels, and they went together, Simon coming along, because he was doing a report on how his father helped people, and yet never was forceful on gaining membership to the church. They arrived and Erin ran to Simon and began talking. "She's stable, but she looks horrible. She's got bruises and her dad is such a." She stopped, knowing they were religious and Eric happened to be right behind her. "Dad? Can I talk to jenny first? I don't think she'll talk to anyone right now." Eric and Detective Michaels, agreed. Simon pushed open the door and nearly puked. Jenny was lying there, all bandaged up, with her hair spread out like a soft pillow and her eyes showing fear at the male who entered. Simon ran his hand over hers, trying to signal that he was a friend. Jenny began trying to speak, but she had some tubes around her and they were getting in the way of her speech. Simon found a pad of paper and handed her the pen. Gripping it weakly, Jenny went into more vivid detail about her past then he'd ever known. He finally asked one question. "is that why you wanted to have sex with me? Because you wanted someone to care about?" Jenny nodded. After a while, the hospital agreed she would be going home the next day but certainly not to her dad's he was now in jail, and her mom was too. Her mom had been doped up on crack when she was a baby and it was a wonder Jenny didn't have any brain damage. Simon asked if she could stay with them, and it was decided that because of her injuries she would. But would they just be friends? Or would something else happen. Note two: Hey everyone. This one was a long one and my hands hurt now. I hope you like this and I will continue it soon I promise. Smile Velvet
