A/N: Yeah, so I haven't updated this story in like a year but only a few days ago did I realize that I had this chapter written and had been beta and everything. I can't even remember where I am going with this story so please bear with me for a while and I start to bring up some more ideas.

A/N: I don't own 7th Heaven but I do own the characters that you see in this entire story. If you don't think I do please go to my profile and send me an e-mail and I will happily discuss it with you.


Mary sat nervously in the back of Kevin's Trailblazer with Lucy lying down on the back seat with her head in her lap.

She stroked her sister's long blonde hair and kept a cool damp washcloth on her forehead.

Lucy was sweating, shaking and looked very pale in her face. She didn't feel very good and she knew that her secret that she had been hiding for the longest time was going to come out and she knew it wasn't going to be pretty.


She kept looking at the toilet trying to figure out if she should do it. It was all the rage Tom had told her…it was what every other girl was doing her age these days and if she didn't do it well…she was just the loser that he thought she was.

He always told her she was very pretty…that her hair was like a spool of gold and her eyes were like the ocean…always crystal, clear and blue.

But when he wasn't complimenting her, telling her how much he loved her he was always commenting about how she could stand to lose a few pounds, how her clothes were looking a little tight.

How that pink dress or khaki skirt would fit so much better if she were to lose 10 pounds.

She would stare constantly into her mirror and cry when she saw the person who was standing in front of her.

That was when she decided after that night of looking at herself in the mirror she wanted to change…just for him.

At first it was real easy; she skipped breakfast before she went to class and always had an excuse why she wasn't hungry when she came home from her classes.

But, when she did feel the need to eat she knew that there was a fool proof plan that she wouldn't gain any weight. All she would have to do was eat in front of the people who were suspicious of her and then later when no one was around she would run to the nearest bathroom and stick her finger down her throat and throw up all of that day's meal consumptions.

It was the perfect plan and she knew it…as long as no one else found out about it.

But that was before she realized what kind of a person Tom really was…that was before she met Kevin…


"Are we almost there yet" Mary asked as she noticed Kevin slowing down to turn into a driveway.

"Were here" he replied shifting the car into park and turning the ignition light off.

"Do you want to stay while I go in or do you just want to come with me?"

Mary looked from Lucy back to Kevin and shook her head "We are coming" she said firmly opening the passenger side door removing Lucy's head from her lap so she could get out of Kevin's way so he could get Lucy out of his car.

"Come on Luce" he muttered scooping her up from the backseat and started to head towards the doors of the free clinic while Mary grabbed her and Lucy's purse, slamming the door shut and running after them.

Kevin walked into the clinic front doors and set Lucy on of the plastic benches before going to the window.

"Excuse me" he said to the two women that were chattering away behind the glass.

"Yes, can I help you?" one of the women replied snottily glaring at Kevin because he had interrupted their chat fest.

"My girlfriend needs to see a doctor" he told them.

"Ok, we just need the patients drivers license, health insurance card and" the women paused for a moment before flipping through a thick pad of paper "and her social security card"

Kevin winced when the women told him all the information that they were going to need on Lucy. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked over at Mary who was rubbing Lucy's back while she threw up in the garbage can that was

"Is there a way that I can talk to you privately for a moment?" he asked the nurse who as behind the glass window.

She gave him a strange look before she whispered something to the women that was on the phone and got up and walked around the corner, motioning for him to follow her.

"What can I help you with?"

"That girl out there has a problem" Kevin told her point blank.

"What kind of a problem?" the nurse wanted to know

"Well for one her ex-boyfriend is trying to find her"

The nurse crossed her arms and gave Kevin an annoyed look "So? What does that have to do with me?"

"He wants to kill her" Kevin told her quietly.

The nurse's face gave him a look of shock before she composed herself before she spoke. "Oh, well have you called the police?"

"I am the police" Kevin replied showing her his badge.

"Oh"

"Is there some way that we can use my insurance card and use a fake name for her?"

The nurse bite her lip and thought for a moment "We could do that or…" she looked around to make sure no one was listening and lowered her voice down just enough so Kevin could hear her.

"Or we could pretend that this conversation never happened an you're a cash paying customer who happens to not have insurance"

Kevin gave her a quick smile before he turned around and went back into the waiting room where Mary and Lucy were still waiting.

Lucy was lying on the bench with her eyes closed so she didn't notice Kevin coming back into the room but Mary did.

"What's wrong?" she mouthed to him.

Kevin shook his head and gave her a smile and mouthed back "Nothing as of now" as he walked back over to the sign in desk and signed in a name and sat down next to Mary.


Tom paced back and forth in his and Lucy's rented apartment

All he wanted to do was find Lucy and make sure that something like this never ever happened again.

He knew that after letting her go to Buffalo to visit her sister was a bad idea but he knew that if he wanted to cover his tracks for as long as he could no one would ever know the real truth and by the time they did find out he would be long gone looking for someone else like Lucy to prey on.


He kept pacing back and forth in his cheaply rented hotel room that he got at the local Motel 6 on the worst part of Buffalo, New York.

He knew he wasn't going to be there for very long because once he found Lucy he would bring her back home with him again and never let her see her family again unless it was absolutely necessary.

He kept staring at the phone as if the harder he stared the more of a chance he would have with the phone ringing on cue.

He got an idea and grabbed his jacket and walked out his hotel room and down the stairs towards his car.

If Lucy wasn't going to see him then he would have to see Lucy.

Opening the door to his Honda, he quickly sat down and started the car, taking in satisfaction how the engine roared to life.

Peeling out onto the streets of Buffalo, New York he enjoyed watching the people walking down the street, he loved driving erratically, moving back and forth, cutting in front of people with very little room to spare.

That was one of the things that made it so easy for Lucy to start to listen to him.
