Kennedy didn't sleep at all that night. Every time she closed her eyes she saw her fathers face. Jack had held her in his arms until finally sleep overtook him. She laid there watching him thankful he came into her life. She didn't know what to expect the next morning. She knew her father would be looking for her and there would be consequences. She believed that Jack wouldn't let her get hurt again. She actually trusted him. Before she knew it was morning and she felt Jack began to stir. He opened his eyes and saw her staring at him. "Sleep good?" he asked

She nodded, not really want to talk. "Your eye and lip are swollen. We need to go put ice on them." He replied. He leaned up and grabbed her hand. They made their way downstairs to the kitchen. Everyone was sitting around the table as they walked in.

"Hey Jackie boy…Damn!" Bobby began before looking at Kennedy. Kennedy turned around to leave but Jack stopped her.

"No, that's just my jackass brother. Don't mind him, he has no respect for….well anyone." Kennedy gave a soft smile "Everyone this is Kennedy. That's Angel and Bobby."

"Here sweetheart, you must be hungry. Come have some breakfast." Evelyn responded

"I have respect for people." Bobby replied late

"Sure you do." Angel replied

"Boys stop it and eat." Evelyn replied. Kennedy slowly began eating her breakfast without looking up. Jack looked at his mother with sorrow in his eyes. She gave a soft smile.

"There is a lot of tension in this room." Bobby replied rudely "What the hell is going on?"

"Leave it alone Bobby." Jack replied

"Can I be excused?" Kennedy asked. She felt tears forming in her eyes.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jack asked

"No, ill be ok." She whispered. She quickly got up and went upstairs to his room.

"How is she?" Evelyn asked

"What do you think?" Jack asked

Bobby slapped him upside the head "You don't talk to your mother that way."

"I didn't mean it rude!" Jack replied rubbing his head "Ma, she didn't sleep at all last night. Actually she might have slept for 10 minutes before having a dream. She kept fighting me when she woke up. Something happened in that house last night."

"What do you mean?"

"She won't tell me. She just kept telling me that he was hitting her and had her on the ground. Ma I think he raped her."

"Raped?" she whispered

"Yes, she was cuddled in a corner with a blanket wrapped around her when I found her. She is scared out of her mind and I don't know what to do."

"Jack, you are doing everything you can do." Evelyn replied

"What kind of bastard rapes their daughter?" Angel replied

"This bastard." Jack replied "He doesn't know how he has hurt her. She can't stop crying."

Bobby just starts shaking his head. "Jack, go upstairs and check on her and see if she's ok." Evelyn told her son. Jack nodded before going to his room. He opened the door and saw her cuddled in the corner of his bed hugging her knees like the night before. He looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. "Can I come in?" he asked. She looked up and nodded. "Can we talk?" She just stared straight ahead. "Can you tell me what he did to you last night?"

"Jack, I can't…" she whispered

"Its ok you don't have to right now."

"What's going to happen?"

"I don't know." He replied "But what I do know is that you are here with me now and no one is going to hurt you."

"Thank you for being so nice to me."

He smiled at her "No problem." He just stared at her for a moment "Do you want to take a shower?"

"Yes."

"The bathroom is down the hall and the towels are in the hallway closet."

"Ok." She got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom. When she shut the door she looked in the mirror. She quickly turned away; she couldn't look at that sight. She walked over to the shower and cut the hot water on. She slowly took off her clothes and looked at her naked body. She closed her eyes and saw her fathers face. She quickly opened them but knocked the shampoo into the tub making a loud noise. She wiped her face and climbed in. She didn't bother cutting on the cold water. She needed to wash all the nastiness away. She began scrubbing her body until she could no longer feel anything. She began crying as she kept scrubbing. It was like she couldn't get the dirtiness off of her. She slide down the back on the bathtub and just sat there and cried. She saw that her body was turning blood red from where she scrubbed and where the hot water hit her. She turned off the water and sat there for a minute before wrapping a towel around her body. She slowly opened the door to make sure no one was outside, before slipping into Jacks room. He had laid one of his shirts out for her to wear. She smiled softly before putting it on. Jack waited a few moments after he heard the shower cut off before going back upstairs. He tapped on the door. "Come in." she replied

"Feel better?" He looked at her and saw that she was wearing the shirt he laid out "Thought maybe you would want to get out of those clothes, only I don't have any pants to fit you, so I gave you a shirt." Kennedy let out a short laugh "Well there's that beautiful smile." Kennedy looked down to the ground "You alright?"

"Jack, why is this happening?" she asked

"I don't know."

"Did I do something wrong? What did I do to make him do this to me?" she cried

"Nothing…"

"Does he not love me anymore? I thought maybe everything would be ok when we moved. Everything seemed to have gotten worse." Jack took a seat next to her.

"At least your dad acknowledged you." He responded

"I wish he didn't." she whispered "I'm so scared of what he's going to do next."

"He's not going to do anything because you aren't going back there."

"Jack, he will find a way to get me back. He has this power over people."

"No, I was talking to Ma downstairs and she told me that since you are 17 that you can be emancipated. He can't have control over you. You can get a restraining order against him too. There's so much that you can do to get him out of your life for good."

"That requires me to go to court."

"Yes."

"He has the court in his hand Jack. That's not going to work."

"Tell them what he has been doing to you. Show them. Your eye and lip. They have to believe you."

"I can't."

"Yes you can. You have to. That's the only way."

"He will never leave me alone. He will always be some where watching me, waiting for me to be alone for one minute."

"You won't be alone for one minute."

"Jack, he's my father."

"That man is not your father anymore Kennedy. No father beats his own child. It's the only way."

"Can we stop talking about this?"

"Yeah sure. Will you just think about it?"

She nodded her head. He reached forward and embraced her in a hug. She closed her eyes as she was hugging him wishing this would all go away.

Later that night Jack and Kennedy were still in his room talking. "So tell me about Bobby."

"Bobby's a class act. Always in trouble, since the day he was born. He loves hockey. He's the oldest out of us 3. Don't mind him and his rudeness. You'll get use to him. He's great to be around because he always has a story to tell. It's also great to have him on your side when you need someone."

"And Angel?"

"Angel, well he's the pretty boy of the family. Always looking his best, no matter what. He goes out with this girl name Sofi. You might meet her. Bobby hates her, so if she ever comes over that would be a good fight to watch. Angel has more of a heart than Bobby though."

"You said 3, who's the other one?"

"Jeremiah. We call him Jerry thought. He's never around because he lives with his girlfriend Camille. He's the good boy of the family. Always pleasing ma, with everything. He use to not be that way, but as he got older he changed. He's second oldest. Smarter than all of us. He's going to be the one to do something with his life."

"Then there's Jack Mercer. The rock star who has a fancy for saving girls. Is he not going to do anything with his life?"

"He wants to move to LA and pursue his music career."

"Why doesn't he do that?"

"He has to finish school first and a certain girl came into his life that might have stopped all that."

Kennedy blushed "Who's this girl?"

"This gorgeous brunette. She has these eyes that are so beautiful it makes her whole face shine in beauty. She makes him smile for no apparent reason. Her smile makes his heart start beating ten miles a minute." Kennedy just stared at him; she didn't notice him slide over to her. Their faces were inches apart before she came back to earth. She quickly turned away. "Not ready?" he whispered

"I cant…not right now."

"It's ok. I'll wait." She smiled at him.

"I'm really tired. I think I might lie down for a while."

"Alright." Jack got off the bed and headed towards the door

"Jack!" she called after him

"Yeah" he replied turning around

"Thanks for talking with me."

He nodded with a smile before closing the door. She laid her head down and closed her eyes. Within moments she was sound asleep from lack of sleep the night before.

"Daddy please don't do this!" Kennedy begged as her father held her on the ground. He undid his belt buckle and slide the belt out of his belt loops.

"You brought this upon yourself." He replied. He unbuttoned his pants and slide them down. He ripped Kennedy's top open revealing her black bra. He ran his fingers down her chest.

"Please!" she begged. She began to struggle and fight but his weight on her caused her to scream out in pain as his leg fell upon her ribs. He grabbed her pants and lifted her up to get her pants down. He looked at her and smiled before thrusting himself inside of her. She let out a scream and began pounding on his chest. He began to thrust harder and harder, seeming to like it too much. "JACK!" she screamed. She was sobbing so hard that her whole body seemed to shake. Her father stopped what he was doing and just laid there for a minute. She thought he was done, but found out he was just resting. His hands began roaming her body making her tense. "I hate you!" she replied. His head jolted forward towards her and smacked her across the face.

"I'm going to enjoy this." He whispered in her ear before kissing it. He ran his tongue all the way down to her bellybutton before looking up at her and smirking. Her body had gone completely numb, she just prayed that Jack would come. Her father's head had disappeared for a moment. She just laid there not having anymore fight in her. Her father's face returned in front of hers with that same smirk.

"Are you going to behave now?" her father asked, but Kennedy just glared at him. "Answer me!" But she couldn't find herself to say anything. "I guess not. I guess this lesson needs to keep going." She began sobbing again, but she couldn't move. She was so numb. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips before thrusting himself back inside of her. She waited for everything to be over. When it was, he got up and left her laying on the stairs. She laid there for a while not able to move. She found herself lifting herself off the stairs and crawling up them to her room. She opened her bedroom door and fell to the ground sobbing. She grabbed her blanket off the bed and wrapped around her and crawled to the corner of the room. She stared at the door, praying he didn't want anymore.

Kennedy shot straight up out of the bed and took off running to the bathroom. She threw open the door and began throwing up in the toilet. She began to sob, but kept throwing up. When she had finished, she leaned back. Not knowing what to do, she threw her head back and began to scream towards the ceiling. Everyone came running in to see what was wrong, and found her on the ground sobbing. Jack kneeled down and hugged her but she pushed him away. "Don't!" she screamed. He nodded and backed away. She looked at him, her face was pale and wet from sweating and crying. She rubbed her hands over her face as she sobbed. "Kennedy, are you alright?" Jack asked. She shook her head. "Do you need anything?"

"I…" she couldn't say anything. Jack moved closer to her again, but this time she let him touch her. He placed a hand on her hand. "Let's give them some time alone." Evelyn whispered. She closed the door.

"You want to talk about it?" Jack asked

"I had a dream…"

"About your father?"

She nodded. "Kennedy did he touch you?"

She nodded her head and began sobbing again "He.raped.me!" she replied in between sobs. "He raped me!" She yelled. She covered her face with her hands and started bawling. Jack got up from his position and opened the door slamming it against the wall. "MA!" he yelled. His mother came running to him. She walked into the bathroom and saw Kennedy crying on the floor like before, but Jack went racing down the stairs. He stormed into the living room where his brothers were. He started pacing back and forth not knowing what to do. "Jack, are you ok?" Angel asked

"He touched her!" he yelled, pacing back and forth. "That fucker touched her."

"Jack calm down." Angel replied

"Calm down? You want me to calm down?" he yelled "He fuckin' raped her Angel. I'll fucking kill him."

"What do you want to do Jack?" Bobby asked

Jack's eyes darted towards Bobby "I want him to pay!" Jack replied. Bobby nodded his head. "I want him to feel the pain she is feeling right now."

"You really like this girl don't you?" Angel replied, thinking that if Jack talked about her he would calm down.

"What kind of fuckin' question is that?" Jack spat

"Jack, calm down. I am just trying to calm you down."

"You think by asking a dumbass question like that, is going to calm me down."

"Jack I know you are pissed off…" Angel started

"Pissed off!" he yelled "I fuckin want to rip someone's throat out."

"Ok im sorry man." Angel replied softly. He knew he didn't need to piss Jack anymore than he already was. "Bobby, I want that bastard to die. I want him dead." Jack replied.

"Jack…." A soft voice came from the stairs.

Jack's head shot straight the stairs and saw Kennedy standing there with tears streaming down her face. "Please don't do anything."

"Kennedy…." He replied, but stopped. He nodded his head and embraced her in a hug. "He wont touch you again." He told her. "I promise." He said as he gritted his teeth.
