Author: Thanks for the reviews! They mean a lot! I hope everyone likes my story! I hope everyone likes this chapter! DRAMA! Teehee!

Just like Kennedy had predicted, her father let her go over to Jennas, but this time he made sure Jack didn't go. Instead Jack met them at the movies. Kennedy smiled when she saw Jack standing outside the door as they pulled up. "You know I know something is going on between you two and I am going to find out." Jenna replied putting the car in park. Kennedy turned to her smiling "Come on tell me!"

"We are just friends, but I don't know what I would do without him."

"What happened to him being annoying?"

"He grows on you I guess."

"Right, he grows on you." Jenna opened the door "Well I think its cute."

"Come on the movie is going to start without us." Kennedy replied changing the subject. Jenna laughed but continued to walk towards Jack.

"Why is that I have this feeling that I was just being talked about?" Jack asked hugging Jenna.

"Because we were." Kennedy replied with a smile. She walked right past him and into the movie theater. Jenna smirked at Jack before walking in herself. He just rolled his eyes before following. The finally made their way into the movie and sat down. Kennedy sat in the middle of both of her friends. The movie began and she kept finding herself looking over at Jack. He smiled before going back to the movie. Half way during the movie she felt his hand on hers. She smiled before pulling hers away. She could hear him chuckle, but didn't say anything. She smiled and kept watching the movie. Moments later she felt his hand again but this time she didn't move it. Finally the movie was over and Jack and Kennedy remained hand and hand. Kennedy couldn't help but smile when she saw the look on Jenna's face. "Just friends huh?" she whispered. Kennedy let out a laugh

"There you two go again." Jack replied

"Its what girls do." Jenna replied

"Yeah right!" Jack replied. They stayed out side the theater for a while, before Jenna and Kennedy headed back home.

"So you like him?" Jenna asked

"You just don't quit do you?" Kennedy replied with a smile

"Nope, I need to know these things. I am about to go crazy."

"Yes I like him."

"I knew it!" Jenna yelled. Kennedy just died out laughing

"There's just one problem." Kennedy replied "My father doesn't like him."

"Oh, the whole poor, rich thing?"

"Yeah, he just doesn't think he's good enough for me. There's just something about Jack, that draws me to him. He's so sweet and considerate. He never left my side at the hospital."

"Well we both thought something was seriously wrong. I mean I thought you were dying."

Kennedy couldn't help but laugh. They pulled into Kennedy's driveway and her father was on the steps waiting for her. She looked over at Jenna before opening the door. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Bye girl." Jenna replied.

"Hey daddy. Why are you outside?" Kennedy asked walking up to him

"I was waiting on you. How was the movie?"

"It was good. Have you eaten?"

"No, I was waiting on you. Would you like to cook something?"

"Um yeah. Did Sara leave already?"

"Yes, she needed to get home to her kids so I told her it was ok."

"Oh ok. Well I'll go start dinner then." Kennedy replied. She moved to the door but her father grabbed her hand. She stood there for a moment but he brought her into a hug. "You won't lie to me will you? You know what happens with you lie."

"Yes sir."

"Did that boy go with you tonight?"

Kennedy looked at her father speechless. She didn't know what to say. "No, it was just me and Jenna went."

"You know I hate when you lie."

"Daddy im not lying."

"Let's get inside." Her father still had a hold on her arm as they walked inside. Kennedy could feel herself starting shaking.

"I need to use the restroom. We got drinks at the movies and I drank a lot." Kennedy said with a nervous laugh. Her father released his grip and she hurried to the bathroom. She shut the door and quickly grabbed her cell phone. "Jack!" she whispered

"Kennedy? Is that you?" he asked "Why are you whispering?"

"Jack, my father knows…" she whispered again. She could feel tears rising in her eyes

"Knows what?"

"That you went to the movie today. Jack I'm so scared."

"Kennedy where are you?"

"I'm in the bathroom."

"Stay there. Do not move. I am coming to get you."

"Jack, he…."

"Kennedy are you alright?" her father asked knocking on the door

"Yes, I'll be out in a few." She yelled "Jack, I'm so scared."

"I am on my way." Jack told her

"Please hurry." She quickly hung up the phone

"Kennedy opened the door now." Her father declared. She wiped her face and opened the door to come face to face with her father. "What were you doing in there?"

"Using the bathroom."

"You just love lying to me don't you? What did I tell you about lying to me. There are always consequences."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't lie!" he yelled punching the wall causing Kennedy to jump. "I saw him there with you."

"You followed me?" she asked

"Yes, do you honestly think that I trust you." He replied "Do you want me to make things worse for you. I told you to do one thing and that was to not see that boy. He is white trash and he is nothing. I know about him, his father was a useless human being. Jack is worthless as well. Going from foster home to foster home, finally someone actually wanted him. Piece of shit, doesn't know anything about family. I doubt he knows who his family really is."

"Don't talk about him that way. You don't know him." Just as she said that, her fathers hand came across her face. Kennedy knew she had said the wrong thing, she looked at her father before running for the stairs. Her father caught hold of arm and jerked her back. He slammed on the ground and got on top of her. Kennedy thought maybe if she kept fighting him that Jack would hear and come inside, but her father was too strong. He grabbed her hands and held them over her head. "You know, I guess I didn't teach you a lesson. I guess I am going to have to teach you another way. Maybe then you will learn not to disrespect or lie to me." Kennedy didn't know what he was talking about until it was too late.

Kennedy was up in her room cuddled in a corner so afraid to move. She had her blanket wrapped around her as she cried into her knees. She heard a soft tap on her window but couldn't move. The tap came again, then she saw Jack's face. She quickly ran over to the window and opened it. Just before he could get inside she had her arms wrapped around his neck. "What happened?" he asked making her face him. She couldn't tell him, instead she cried, she cried so hard into his chest.

"Talk to me." He whispered "What happened?"

"I cant stay here Jack. Please don't make me stay here."

"I'm not going to make you do anything. Come with me. My mom would be ok if you stayed there."

She shook her head. She went and locked her door and followed him out onto her balcony. He helped her down and nearly carried her all the way to his house. He softly opened the door to his house and found his mother waiting for him.

"Where have you been? I have been so worried." Evelyn asked

"Kennedy needed me." Jack responded. Kennedy lifted her head towards Evelyn

"Oh my. Come here let me help you get cleaned up." Evelyn brought her over to the kitchen table and sat her down while Jack went and got the peroxide and a washcloth. She gently started dabbing at Kennedy's cut lip, while Jack got her ice for her eye.

"Ma, can I talk to Kennedy alone?" Jack asked after Evelyn had finished

"Sure sweetheart." Evelyn gave Kennedy's hand a squeeze before kissing Jack on the head. "Goodnight sweethearts. I'll see you in the morning."

After Evelyn had went upstairs Jack began talking "What happened?"

"I..." she couldn't remotely tell him what happened to her "I came out of the bathroom and he just kept yelling at me about lying. He told me how he followed us to the movies and saw you. He slapped me across the face. I tried to run but he stopped me and then he got on top of me…" she couldn't go on to tell him what happened. She just began sobbing "He wouldn't stop hitting me and kept….his hands…he just.." She covered her face with her hand and sobbed. Jack walked over to and just embraced her.

"Come on, you can sleep in my room." He told her. He grabbed her hand and lead her upstairs.

"Where are you going to sleep?" she asked still crying.

"Downstairs on the couch."

"Jack, don't leave me!" she begged. "I cant be alone. He will find me. He'll find me." She sobbed as he sat her down.

"Hey its ok…" he told her holding her head to his chest "Don't leave me." She kept begging.

"I'm not going to leave you. No one is going to hurt you again. Do you hear me? That bastard is not going to lay a hand on you again. I'll see on the floor tonight ok. I'll be right here by your side." He gently laid her down as she began to tremble. He wrapped the blanket around her and she just cried into his pillow. Jack looked at her and ran his hands through his hair before going to get some thing to sleep with. He looked at her before leaving his room and saw that she was fast asleep.

"Is everything alright?" Angel asked coming out of his room. "I heard someone yelling."

"Yeah, one of my friends dad is hitting her. She is staying here tonight." Jack replied

"Is she ok?"

"No, she had been trembling all night and just sobbing. Angel, he put her in the hospital yesterday. He kicked her so hard that I had to take her to the hospital. I think he did something more to her tonight though. She wont tell me what happened, she just cries."

"Dude, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know man. She is scared to death to go near him again."

"You cant let her go back to him Jack."

"I know that Angel, but he's a lawyer."

"A lawyer my ass. I don't care if he's the fucking president, he's still an asshole who beats his own child. What did ma say?"

"That she can stay as long as she wants."

Angel shakes his head. "Where's Bobby?" Jack asked

"I don't know. You know him, he has his own time to come in."

"Well don't tell him about Kennedy yet ok. I'm not in the mood for him to be picking on me. You either."

"Hey, im nice to you."

"Whatever Angel."

Angel smiled before going back to his room "Goodnight jackie-poo."

"Shutup!" Jack replied smiling. He grabbed some blankets from the closet in the hallway and headed back to his room. Kennedy was tossing and turning before crying out. Jack dropped the blankets and ran to her. "Kennedy wake up. Its just a dream." He told her grabbing her shoulders. She looked up at him but didn't recognize him. She started fighting him and screaming. "Its ok. Its ok." He tried to calm her down but she just kept screaming and hitting him. Angel came running in there and turned on the lights "Kennedy its me, its ok." Jack told her. She looked at him with tears streaming down her face. "I'm so scared Jack." She whispered.

"Its ok." He told her hugging her. He looked over at Angel with a scared look on his face.

"I'll go get some water." He replied before leaving.

"You're going to be ok." Jack assured her. Kennedy just clenched onto his shirt and stared wide eyed at the window.
