Two days later, it was mid morning, Jack was tiding up while Karen was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine she had want to help but he wasn't having any of it.

'Jack please let me help' she begged

'If you help, then I'm sleeping out here tonight;'

'Fine be like that' she replied

'Sorry Karen but doctors orders…anyways I've got to go to the shops to get a few things, will you be ok here or do you want to come?' he asked

'Nah I'll be fine'

'I'll be back soon' he said getting ready 'Is there anything you want?'

'Nah' she replied

'Ok I have my phone see ya' he said, and kissed her on the lips before walking out.

Karen wanted to help Jack out even if it was just put a few things away, she slowly got up walked with her crutches to the radio and put it on lazy days by Robbie Williams came on, Karen started putting things away, she was so busy tiding up she didn't Simon come in, he just stood in the doorway, before slamming the door shut

'AAAHHH' Karen jumped 'Jackie you scared me' she then turned round and froze 'Simone'

'Hello Karen, seems I can't get rid of you, now I'm in hiding trying to get away from the police'

'W what….what are you doing here?' the colour drained from her, and she started shaking, all of a sudden numb by pink came on the radio

No sleep, no sex for you from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep, I can't let you go and just jump
in
At times I would push my feelings aside to let
you feel
I'm Novocain I'm numb and nothing's real

Like the coldest winter, I am frozen from you

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby

I'm numb, numb, numb

'Before I go down, I'm going to finish of what I started and that's get rid of you, you have made my life hell Karen' he said walking towards her, she back away in to the wall

'Go away Jack will be here soon'

'No he wont, his gone shopping'

'How…how did you know that?' she hissed

'I have contacts…contacts that have been following you, we know everything, and how do you think I found you in the first place, just as I remember beautiful but not bright' he walked right up to her, she felt tears of fear roll down her face

'Please go away…I'll drop all charges, I'll say you …you didn't do it'

'You think I'll believe that, because now they are looking for me to arrest me for rape, cause SOMEONE' He said banging the wall right beside Karen's head, which made her jump 'couldn't keep their big mouth shut' he then reached down and grabbed her crutches and threw them on the floor

But the tears were silent inside you see
but the tears were silent inside you see

I laid there quiet, watched you have your way
with me
I might have cried, the tears were silent inside
you see
you called me names, made me feel like I was dumb

I didn't feel a thing and now I'm gone, gone,
gone

Like a battered child I got used to your pain
but you know its cuz

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

'What…what do you want just go please' Karen cried, he then pinned her arms against the wall above her head, and started kissing her neck

'You' he whispered then carried on, Karen then with her right leg kneed him as hard as she could in the private

'AAAAHHH' He said falling to the floor in pain, Karen went to make a run for it but he grabbed her ankle causing her to trip up beside him

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

'Think you are clever do you' he hissed and pinned her down, but she struggled even though the pain was unbearable she weren't going to let him win, as she struggled he loosened his grip trying to pin her, she managed to push him away, but punched her in the stomach six times she couldn't move any more, she was in to much pain, he san top of her and pulled down the zip on his trousers, she cried and closed her eyes waiting….all of a sudden Jack came through the door

Don't feel a thing; don't feel the pain
Numb, numb, numb
Said

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

Said now I'm numb, numb, numb
No, no, no, no

'Hay…..' he stopped and saw what was happening he threw the bags on the floor and ran over to them, Simon got up, but just as he did Jack punched him so hard in the face he went flying backwards,

'KEEP OF HER YOU BASTARD' Jack screamed, Karen laid on the floor she couldn't move she wanted to help him but was in too much pain.

'JACK DONT' she cried, Simon ran up to jack and punched him, both men started fighting, Karen reached up and grabbed the phone to call the police, but neither Simon or Jack saw her, just then Simon came over and punched her in the face,

'DON'T YOU DARE' Jack screamed, and went for Simon, he punched him again this time even harder, Simon went flying onto the coffee table causing it to break, Jack then went over and pinned him down, Simon punched Jack again but it was a weak punch, but Jack punched him again…..and again….and again, just then four policemen arrived. Jack got of while they picked up Simon

'We are arresting you Simon for assault and rape to an under age girl' the police said and took him; the other two went over to Karen who was still crying hysterical

'You ok?' one asked

'Yea' Karen cried, just then Jack came over

'Oh Karen, its ok his gone, its ok Karen its ok' he said and started crying, Karen took his hand

'Ok we can call you an ambulance' the other cop said

'No' Karen said

'But Karen….'

'No Jack I don't want to go there again please Jack' Karen said interrupting him

'Ok, we will call the doctor then' he said, Karen nodded yes.

The police had gone, Karen was laying on the sofa bed with Jack sitting beside her, they were waiting for the doctor to arrive,

'Oh Jack your bleeding' Karen said, she reached up to Jack's head and rubbed the cut

'That's fine, how are you?'

'Don't know……thank you Jack thank you for coming back home' Karen said and started tom cry

'Oh Kare' he said, he went down to hug her, but as soon as his hand touched her stomach she winced from the pain

'Sorry Kare' he said getting back up 'Let me have a look' he reached down and lifted her top up showing her stomach which was covered in bruises 'Oh Kare' he said then very gently ran his hand over her stomach, just then Will and Grace burst in

'Oh my god, we just heard' will said running over with Grace, they saw Jack was bleeding, and Karen's stomach

'What happened?' Grace asked, Jack was just about to replied when the doctor knocked at the door.

The doctor was there looking over them both for about two hours, he had instructed them both to put ice on their cuts on their heads,

'Ok Ms Walker you are very lucky no broken bones, and you to Mr McFarland'

'Yea we know' Jack replied

The doctor told Karen to take painkillers and to rest, he had told her to go to the hospital but she wasn't having any of it, so he told her if the pain gets worst then she must go, Jack had promise to take her as soon as she got worst.

Will and Grace stayed round for another two hours but then went,

'Kare do you want a bath, I'll go and run you one if you want?' Jack asked

'Later maybe' she said looking up at him, she then took his hand 'How are you feeling?' she asked

'Fine just a headache'

'Let's get some sleep' she said

'Ok but you will have to sleep on your own for a few days, I don't want to hurt you'

'But Jackie you won't'

'Karen if I'm in the same bed as you, I'll want to cuddle you which will hurt you, now do as you're told' he said firmly

'Fine' she mumbled, he got her up and dress for bed

'Ok night night Kare' Jack said tucking her in, then kissed her

'Night night Poodle' she said he walked out; he had left the door opened, then got on the sofa bed and tucked up. About five minutes later they were both awake but hadn't spoke

'Poodle, you wake?' Karen asked

'Yea can't sleep' he replied back

'Me neither', they talked for another five minutes then went silent, both wanting to be in bed together, Karen was trying to think of how to get him to change his mind,

'Poodle' she said

'Yea' he replied

'Can you come and get this spider'

'Where is it?'

'On the bed side table' which of course she was lying, he got up and came in

'Where?' he said looking over

'On my side' she said, he leant over and she pulled him down on to the bed and grabbed his hand 'your not going anywhere now' she said

'Karen…..what'

'Now I have you, I'm not letting go' she said

'But Kare…'

'No Jack your sleeping in here now' she interrupted him, he looked down at her for a bit, then crawled into bed

'Guess you're the boss' he said secretly glade he was sleeping next to her, they then talked all night till 3,

'Hay Kare lets go to sleep, you're meant to be getting rest' Jack said yawning

'Yea and so are you' she replied

'Goodnight Kare'

'Goodnight Jack' she said, then Jack leant down and kissed her slightly passionality.
