Hey all. I dunno if anyone's reading this story so please read and review if you wish for me to continue. All Suggestions are greatly welcomed. Thanx a bunch!!
Chapter 2
Suspicions
Kendra is suddenly jolted awake by her mother. She realizes that she must have fallen asleep on the ride home. As she looks out the window she does not recognize where she is. This house is different then the one her mom showed her the last time she "went home." The house is one story and is badly in need of a new paint job.
"Why did you move?" Kendra questions
"I was trying to get rid of that shit head Ryan your bro-neighbor. He got arrested and was trying to get me to take him in until he found a new house." Dawn replies trying to cover her slip- up.
"Okay...let's go inside then." Kendra replies hesitantly. She knows that something is not right, her mother is hiding something from her and it is not just drugs.
"The room on the left is yours, and we already have some furniture for you. Why don't you unpack and then we'll catch up." Dawn states calmly
"Sure thing Daw-Mom. I'll be right out mom." Kendra says trying to cover her slip-up. Sure enough her mom isn't paying attention and doesn't notice. "Phew, that was a close one." She mutters under her breath. Last time she called her mother Dawn she got beaten unconscious.
As Kendra is unpacking she can't help but to notice the blood and dents in her pile of shit aka Furniture. As she starts to put her one other change of clothes into the dresser she notices a carving in the wood. The carving is faint and very messy so it takes her awhile to decipher it. Eventually she is able to come up with.
Sandy Cohen-New Port California-Public Defender
A phone number follows the name but it is too hard to decipher. Kendra is becoming more and more suspicious by the minute, and she doesn't want to wait to find out.
Upon entering the kitchen Kendra gets a whiff of alcohol and knows instantly that AJ is home. AJ immediately approaches her and she can tell by looking that he is drunk and high. She tries to sneak away but is unsuccessful.
"Where do you think you're going? You fucking piece of shit! I don't know what Dawn finds different in you from your 2 brothers. AJ slurs angrily.
"I was going to my roo-2 brothers you said? Kendra replies. 'Since when did I have 2 brothers' she thinks to herself.
"Since never. Now get lost you little fucker." AJ shouts. Even in his drunken state he knows that he's said too much, and he can't let her know anymore about Ryan. He promised Dawn that he wouldn't mention Ryan to Kendra, cause if she found out she would try to go to him. They couldn't afford to lose Kendra, she was now their only way to get money. Everyone would just think that she got in a fight when they saw her covered in bruises.
