~*Too Many Things at Once*~

~*Chapter 5*~A Deep Dark Secret*~

I can't believe Matt's going to Europe for a year.  He's gunna miss the baby's birth.  How can he do this to me again.  He already moved to New York to go to medical school and now he's goin to Europe.  I'm never going to speak to him again!

Ruthie was walking to Peters house knowing that this was the only place she felt she could go right now.  All she wanted was for Peter to hold her and tell her that everything is going to be all right. 

When Ruthie got to Peters she heard some yelling.  But it wasn't his mother it was an older man's voice.  She was wondering who it was and why a strange man would be yelling at Peter.  She went closer to the house to hear what the man was saying.

"Now you better listen to what I'm saying or you'll get it again.  Do you understand!!!" The man yelled.

Ruthie was shocked and very upset. 

"Please stop!" Peter begged.

"I'll stop when you understand!"

Ruthie heard a slap.

"Ok! Ok! I understand." Peter said in a scared tone.

"Good!"

Ruthie heard the man coming to the door so she ran and hid behind one of the bushes.  The man got into his car and drove off.

Ruthie couldn't believe it…………..Peter was being abused.

She couldn't go in Peter's house now.  She knew he didn't want anyone to see him like that. 

Here I am worrying about my problems when Peter is going through a lot worse.  I need to tell somebody but I'm afraid if I do Peter will get hurt worse if the man finds out.  What should I do?

That's chapter 5!!  I know its kind of short but the other chapters will be longer.  Please review. 

A/n~I need some ideas for some chapters.  Please give me some!!!
