Author- Bev_and_David_Fan aka Theresa Disclaimer- I don't own any of the 7th Heaven characters, please don't sue cause you won't get much!!! Timeframe- This is set between Episode 99 and One Hundred, after Robbie moved in and Mary went to Buffalo.
Characters- This mainly a Lucy/Simon fic. With lots of Annie, Eric and Ruthie. And of course Jennifer!
Chapter Ten- Sleepless in Fort Camden
When Simon arrived home he said goodnight to Lucy, then went into his room to get ready for bed. He was happy, happier than he had been in weeks. He was so glad Jennifer had forgiven him, he didn't know what he would do without her.
When Simon had first noticed Jen in the hallway, he had seen how beautiful she was. Her strawberry blond hair and piercing blue eyes had caught his attention. But as he got to know her, he found that her personality matched her looks perfectly. She was so kind and thoughtful, more than he had ever been. She was always helping him, or his siblings, or even his parents when she was there. She worked all the time, but never once had she complained to him about it. Simon realized his true feelings for Jennifer the night of his mothers' birthday, but when he thought about it Jen had been on his mind since the day they met. He only hoped that she felt the same way about him, because he knew he couldn't live without her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy snuck into her room, trying not to wake Ruthie. She got ready for bed and climbed under the covers. But she knew it would be hard to sleep after the day she had.
Lucy was very glad that Simon and Jennifer had made up, but she was worried too. She couldn't help but notice the way Simon looked at Jen, or the way Jen tried to hide her feelings for Simon. Luce knew that eventually they would get together, it was inevitable. She knew that Jen didn't want anyone to know the truth, especially Simon. Lucy thought back to that evening, and she began to cry. Seeing that man choking Jen was too much for her to deal with. She wanted to tell someone, she needed to. She didn't want Jen to be mad, but it would be better if she told. Thinking about breaking her promise made her cry harder.
"What are you blubbering about?" Ruthie said, turning over and facing Lucy.
"I'm sorry I woke you up Ruthie, go back to sleep."
"No, tell me. Please. Something must be really wrong." Ruthie got up and sat on the edge of Lucy's bed, looking concerned.
"I can't tell you Ruthie. I wish I could. But I made a promise to a friend and I just can't."
"It must be Jennifer, right? It has to be. Luce what is it, I've noticed there is something different about her."
"I told you, I can't say. I don't want..." Lucy's voice trailed off.
"I won't tell, Lucy, please. Get it off your chest."
Lucy told Ruthie everything. About Jennifer's dad dying and her mom being abusive. Ruthie sat there and listened to it all, shocked at the hard life Jen had.
"She's really living at the Diner?"
"Yes, she is. Tonight someone attacked her on the street; luckily I drove up and saw it. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't."
"We should tell Dad Lucy. You and I both know that would be the best."
"Ruthie, we can't. Please. Give me some more time to talk to Jen. Maybe I can get her to tell dad herself."
"All right, I won't tell. But Luce?"
"Yeah?"
"If something else happens, please tell Dad. For Jennifer's sake."
"I will, I promise."
The sister's hugged, and Ruthie went back to her own bed. Lucy slept easier, for the time being.
*********************************************************************** Well, this one isn't as short as the last two, but its not long. I like this chapter, it foreshadows some of the things coming. I thought it had a good title too. But that doesn't matter, what do you think!!! Is it up to the rest of my work??? Review!!!!!!!!!!
