Chapter 4: Its Alright....Or it Will Be

"Ginny did you hear that?" Draco heard the portrait open and close twice.

"Yeah lets see what's going on."

By the time Ginny and Draco made it down to where the portrait was, standing there was Blaise all out of breath coming back in.

"Blaise what happened, where's Renne?" Ginny was worried, where had Renne run off to alone in an unsafe castle?

"Renne and I was in the kitchen and I gave her a hug. Then I saw the bruise on her back. She didn't show it to me on purpose, I lifted up her shirt. I asked her about it and she said you knew what happened." Ginny now had tears running down her cheeks because of this memory and was determined to listen to Blaise, "She said it didn't matter how she got it, that she didn't give a fuck, not any more. Then she ran off."

Ginny began to run to look for Renne.

Flash Back

"RENNE, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YA'LL BEEN?" Renne's father was in a drunken rage. "YOU TWO SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE 3 HOURS AGO!"

"Dad, no you said be home at midnight, it is 11:30, 30 minutes before we were supposed to be home."

"YOU LIEING LITTLE BITCH! YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FRIEND ARE BOTH LIEING BITCHES. YOU RED HEAD BITCH, TELL ME WHAT I SAID."

"Renne was telling the truth."

That just made Renne's dad more furious. Why couldn't they be with her mom right now? He picked up a book and threw it at Ginny.

"YOU WHORES HAVE BEEN OUT DOING DRUGS AND FUCKING GUYS I KNOW IT!" At that he grabbed Renne by her hair and began swinging her around. Ginny was terrified. Renne's dad had hit Renne plenty of times in front of Ginny but it was never this bad.

Renne didn't want Ginny to be in there. She didn't want Ginny to get hurt, "GINNY RUN.....HURRY I WILL FIND YOU LATER! RUN NOW!"

Ginny ran. She waited at the park for Renne. By the time Renne got there she was covered in bruises and cuts.

"Renne come here." Ginny was crying, so was Renne.

"I am so sorry Ginny. He shouldn't have done anything to you."

"YOU EITHER RENNE. Why do you put up with that?"

"I have to."

"How will you cover up the cuts and bruises?"

"My hoodie. He never hits my face. He knows someone will see it. You know that."

"You will get out of this soon, Renne. Just one week. One more week."

Renne embraced each other crying for hours in that park for a while and then went to Greg's house for the rest of the week, after he escorted them to Renne's house to get their things.

End Flash Back

Ginny was already out of the corridor and screaming for Renne. She went outside and searched around. Then she saw a little ball by the lake. The ball was Renne.

"Renne, come here please." Ginny was still crying. So was Renne. They ran to meet each other. Renne threw her arms around Ginny, Ginny threw her arms around Renne.

"That was the worst beating I ever got Ginny. I am so sorry to bring it up. I am sorry." She sobbed into Ginny's shoulder.

"Its o-kay Renne, everything is alright. The boys are just worried. Its going to be o-kay. Come on. I left them there and they are probably freaking out right now."

"Ginny, now I am all blotchy and ugly."

"Well so am I so its all gravy. Come on they wont care."

"Now I am going to have to tell them."

"Not tonight. We don't want to relive anything else tonight."

"Ginny, my father hurt you before too....Why did you stay by my side. You could have left."

"Friends don't leave Friends. Come on Renne. Its cold lets go inside."

"Lets go."

Everything will be alright Renne, hang in there. We will be o-kay. Ginny hoped that anyway.

The boys were watching Ginny and Renne. Renne saw them watching her and Ginny. Renne slid her hand into Ginnys and walked up towards Draco and Blaise.

"I am sorry about that you guys. Bad memories." Renne felt ashamed of herself.

Blaise wiped the tears from Renne's cheek, "Don't apologize to me or anyone. What ever is wrong will be alright."

"It better be." Ginny said with a laugh, she had wiped her tears away before Draco could do anything about them.

Draco had been kind of quiet, "Lets all go back. It is freezing out here plus its starting to rain."

With that, they all walked back to Draco's quarters.

"Renne, you have got to see the den. It is so BEAUTIFUL. Lets all just go chill in there for a while and, ya know, hang out."

Everyone silently agreed.
