DISCLAIMER: I do not own 7th Heaven or anything related to 7th Heaven. All medical information on this story is either half-truth or completely made up. I am not a doctor. Also, if you are a fan of the happy relationships in 7th Heaven, don't read. Thos story contains a "rebel" who doesn't agree with her family and not so nice language and themes are sometimes used. Thank you. Enjoy! PS: this part contains some characters from another story called D4 from PaUlKaRiYaSgUrL9. She (the author) let me use them. Therefore I don't own them or the characters from the Mighty Ducks. Don't worry, they are just minor players, they will have no impact on the story aside from that they are friends. I don't own the plot to Jawbreaker, either, or the title.
"Lucky? You think you got lucky? No, no, no, no, my friend. You got the worst kind of luck there is." Kay's dark side was showing, and truth be told, it was scaring Savannah more than Kevin just had. Hate filled Kay's eye and speech. Every word she said was like a curse. She raised her voice slightly, even though it was surprisingly calm. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, Jake. And you have just scorned two. I've never been religious, but may God have mercy on you, cause we won't.
Jake was unfazed by her words until she made one sound. It was a sick, vengeful, crazed sound that filled his bones and stopped his blood. For a moment, he was scared.
She laughed.
Chapter 23: Elder Help
They sat at the table, staring at each other, not knowing what exactly to say. Annie was in shock, to say the least. And Eric. Well, he thought his heart was going to go out right then and there. It didn't, of course, and secretly, Eric wished it had. All his life he had faced these kinds of problems but never in his own family.
True, Mary had problems, but most of them were selfish or just plain misguided. Simon had his problems, but they too were selfish and confused. Ruthie had problems, but most of hers were about helping other people and not knowing what the right thing to do was. But never had any of his children done anything to other people this hurtful, especially not to a family member!
Finally he spoke. "What do you plan to do?"
Lucy and Kevin sat at the other side of the kitchen table. Her eyes were red and puffy, his were filled with confusion. Eric had thought it was anger at first but realized that his son in law had just had the shock of his life and didn't even fully realize what was going on or how to handle it.
"If we knew what we were going to do, then why are we here!" Lucy screamed and then backed down, tears flowing freely. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap, it's just… I'm so confused and worried… and I don't know!" Tentatively, Kevin placed his arm on her back, trying to give his wife some kind of comfort. It helped a little, for her sobs were less racked. Soon, she wiped her eyes and regained composure.
"Lucy's right though, Dad," Kevin said and removed his arm from behind Lucy. "We don't know what to do. We never prepared for this. Well, I mean, we never fully prepared for any part of being a parent, no one ever is prepared for that, but we never could have imagined…" he found he couldn't even say it. It was the same way when they first told Annie and Eric about the situation; Lucy had to croak out the words between her cries because he couldn't come to say it.
Eric opened his mouth to speak but he found, for once, he didn't have an answer. Any kind of an answer. Annie looked over at him and knew he was feeling what she was. There was never a problem they couldn't fix, but now they were starting to feel like their years of hard work and compassion meant nothing if they couldn't help a member of their own family.
"Maybe you should talk to the counselor that you talked to last night?" Annie suggested, realizing that this might even be too big for them to handle.
"Yeah, that would be okay." Lucy said, a small spark of hope glittered to her eyes. She looked over to Kevin, to see if he felt the same and saw his head in his hands. "Kevin?" Lucy heard a noise but she wasn't sure what is was. Then she knew. She had only heard it once before, but she knew.
Eric and Annie knew too after all the years they spent raising kids. He was crying. "Kevin?" they each said.
Kevin mumbled something, but they couldn't quite make it out. After they asked him, he repeated it again. "I'm going to have to arrest her," he said and suddenly, brought his fists down on the table. WHACK, they sounded as they hit the wood and he pushed himself and his chair away from the table. He yelled out a cry of anger and brought his hands to the top of his head in fists.
Lucy stood up and gently touched her husband's arms. "Shh… just calm down. We need to stay calm, even though it's so hard."
He met his eyes with hers and was instantly calmed. Silently, he wondered how she always made him better and knew the answer even before he asked the question. I still love her as much as I did when I married her. Maybe more.
Eric cleared his throat and when he had their attention, motioned for them to return to their seats. When they had, he said, "Well, first thing's first. Do you know without a shadow of a doubt that Savannah did this? You mentioned that Jake was also acting funny that morning?" He had his attention on Lucy at the last part.
"Well, yes. But Savannah was being really nice. Jake was just late. Uncommonly, late… true." Lucy didn't have to finish; her eyes said everything else that needed to be said. Savannah was guilty.
Fortunately, for Savannah, Grandpa and Grandma Camden weren't quite as convinced. "Isn't it possible that Savannah simply felt horrible for the way that she treated Kay in the past and wanted to do something nice?" Annie said.
"Well, anything is possible, but something doesn't seem right." Lucy responded.
"You're right, it doesn't." Annie said, with a disappointed look on her face. "I thought I raised you better than to question your own children unfairly. If they have done something wrong then punish them. But if you aren't sure than you must be sure. Something doesn't seem right, that's true. But it's not with Savannah." Annie left her seat and started for the back door.
It took them a minute, but finally Lucy and Kevin got the picture and followed her. Apparently, they were thrown out to deal with the situation themselves.
The door was open when they arrived, and Annie gave them both a kiss on the cheeks before saying, "I know you'll do the right thing. But get some air before you go over. You're still hurt and angry and that's no way to deal with your kids."
"Thanks mom." Lucy said and gave a small smile. She still thought it was Savannah but if her mother thought that they should re-investigate, then it might be something worth doing.
After the door closed behind them, Kevin and Lucy made their way to the car. Since they needed air, Lucy suggested that they go for a walk. But Kevin didn't want to clear his mind. "I am exactly how I need to be for what I need to do."
O, bad Kevin! Don't hate him just yet. He's confused… hehe. Anyway, I know it short and I know it's been a while but I had some family things that I needed to take care of. Anyway, thanks for reading. And if you have any suggestions for what the revenge will be, please tell me. I'm getting writers block a bit and everything I come up with ends in death. And that's even too morbid for me… at least when Kay is awake. I didn't leave out Sam or David for any reason. I just don't want to say too much about them because I don't know anything about them really and they aren't in this at all.
Just a note: For the people who contact me with AIM (under fisharecoolies, of course), I won't be on because of computer malfunctions… yeah, trying to get it fixed.
