Summery; Manny has just caught a make-out scene between her Best friend and

Jay Hogart Whom both see at the ravine. Who knows what will happen next? LoL …

DiScLaImEr; I do not own Degrassi. But I do own my mind.

Ch. 2

I know your hiding.

Previously, Manny comes down stairs to Emma's room to catch her making out with Jay.

" Emma Nelson what the hell are you doing?"

Currently

" Oh my God!" Emma states startled pushing Jay off of her onto the floor.

" I didn't hear you come down how long have you been here?"

" Well I know you wouldn't have heard me over the noise you two are making and I've been here long enough to know I'm not the only 'slut' per-say."

"Well It's nice to see you all and hope to see you both soon at Sean's party Friday?

Well let me know and I'm outta here." Jay said as quickly as he could. As he climbed out of Emma's window.

'Well Em, I've got to say that was a lot more than you've ever given Sean." Manny said teasingly.

" Shut the hell up Manuela, you have no room to talk." Emma sarcastically shot back.

" Damn Em was do you keep it so hot down here?" Manny asked as she pulled her hair up to a high ponytail.

" Um Manny?"

" Huh?"

" Where did you get that huge bruise on the back of your neck?"

" Um Em you can't say anything to anyone if I tell you. OK?"

" Ok just tell me."

" OK my mom let my Step-dad move back in today and he's already started hitting me again."

" Manny OMG. How can you act like it happens to everyone I mean your acting all casual about it this is horrible."

" Em you can't say anything promise cause if anyone finds out he could kill me."

" Ok I swear I won't say a word."

Manny left Emma's at around 9 O'clock and when she got home she say her door open so she hid. And then she heard the words the made her heart stop.

" Hello Manuela. Where have you been. I can't see you know but I know your hiding."

Then her light turned on. She could see him. His back was turned to her, but she could also see he had a stiff new looking leather belt in his hand. The kind that you would think farmers used on cows to get them moving.

" Manuela if you come out now I won't be very mean."

Manny new if she came out now it would be for the better. So she came out of the corner announcing her presence.

" I'm right here sir." She said softly.

" Aw There she is too bad it took her so long. This is going to be a wale of a punishment."

" And where the hell have you been?" her asked

" I was at Emma's house ,sir" is all she said

He was standing behind her as when she answered him, and he cracked her across the ass with

the belt. Saying she never should have left the house when he was trying to talk to her. For her the blow was hard enough to nock her to her knees. Manny crumpled up on the floor sobbing her eyes out afraid of what would happen next. Then he picked her up by one arm and pushed her back down.

" You know I wasted a good portion of my life thinking it was my fault for your mom

kicking me out, and then I realized it was all your fault." Her step-dad hollered as he kicked her twice in the stomach.

"And you know what Manuela your gonna pay me back for all the trouble you caused."

Her step-dad then turned and headed to the stairs, stepping on Manny's hand as he passed.

She laid still holding her breath till she knew he was up stairs. Manny looked at her battered self in her full length mirror, Thanking God that tomorrow was Saturday.

Well to find out what happens to Manny you'll have to read Ch. 3 when I post it. And I'm gonna keep posting even if you don't like my writing. - Krys
