Chapter 2
Scott was in his room finishing his homework when his phone rang, he picks it up pressed the answer button and he says.
"Hello Scott Tracy speaking"
"Hello Scott Tracy... this is the hospital, I'm calling on behalf of Abigail James"
"Abigail... is Abigail ok?"
"Not really she asked me to call you and to ask if you could come see her please"
"Tell Abigail I'll be there as soon as I can"
After ending the call he ran downstairs and into the living room and says.
"Dad I need to go to the hospital"
Jeff got up and took Scott into the kitchen and after closing the door he asked Scott.
"What's this all about son?"
"Remember when I got home and told you about the new girl Abigail?"
"Yes what about her?"
"She's in the hospital"
"Scott how do you know that Abigail is in the hospital?"
"Because they called me... I gave Abigail my number and told her to call me anytime"
"Ok I'll take you... I'll call your grandmother to come and look after your brothers"
"Thank you dad"
While Jeff asked his mother to watch the others, Scott had put his trainners and jacket on. Luckily Scott's grandma lived just down the street, she moved closer after her grandsons mother had passed away. After she arrived Jeff and Scott left heading to the hospital, it didn't take them long to arrive and after parking they went inside and over to the reception and Scott says.
"We're here to see Abigail James"
The nurse at the reception smiles and replies.
"She's in room 202 just down the hall"
Both Jeff and Scott walk down the hall till they came to room 202 and Scott knocked on the door.
Abigail had closed her eyes while she was waiting for Scott, she didn't know how long it was when she heard someone knocking on the door and she says.
"Come in"
The door opens and Scott and his dad walked in, although Abigail didn't know that the man was Scott's dad. Scott took in the sight of Abigail, she had her right arm in a cast across her chest in a sling, bruises on her face and a bandage around her head. Scott had an idea of what happened and he says.
"Abigail this is my dad Jeff Tracy"
Abigail says.
"It's a pleasure to meet you sir"
"It's a pleasure to meet you too and please call me Jeff"
Abigail smiles lightly and nod's gently wincing when she did and Scott asked.
"Are you ok?"
"My head is pounding but I've already been given some pain relief"
"Ok... Abigail who hurt you?"
Abigail looked scared, she felt alone and fragile. Scott gently sat on the bed and takes her good hand in his and he says"
"It's ok we want to help you"
Abigail looks at Scott then she takes a deep breath and replies.
"My Stepdad... although he's not legally my stepdad, he never sign the papers to adopt me"
Jeff asked.
"Where is your mother?"
Abigail looks down as she had tears in her eyes and she was shaking like a leaf, Scott could tell how upset she was. Abigail replies in a whisper.
"She died three years ago"
Jeff asked.
"Do you any other relatives?"
"No I don't"
Scott moved so that he was sitting next to her and he wraps his arms around her, Abigail closed he eyes and Scott says.
"Shhh it's ok... you going to be ok"
Abigail just nod's gently and Jeff could see what was going on with them, Although they had met today at school. Jeff went to find Abigail's doctor to ask when she can go home and when Jeff returned to the room he found Abigail had fallen asleep with her head on Scott's chest and Jeff whisper's.
"They are keeping her in till tomorrow"
"I want stay with Abigail"
"I know you do Scott... I'm staying too"
Scott was in shock, but he knew his dad wouldn't leave her on her own. Scott fell asleep with Abigail wrapped in his arms.
The next morning Scott woke up and looked down to see Abigail was still asleep, Scott looks up as his dad came in and sits down with a worried look and Scott asked.
"Dad what's wrong?"
Jeff looks up and he was about to reply when Abigail woke up and she asked.
"What time is it?"
Jeff looks at his watch and he replies.
"It's 7:30am"
Abigail trys to get up but Scott stops her and he asked.
"Where do you think your going?"
"I have to go home to get ready for school"
Jeff replies.
"You won't be be going to school for the next two weeks"
"What... why?"
"I spoke to your doctor... your under weight, you have old injuries still healing on top of your new injuries"
Abigail hides her face in Scott's chest, he felt a wet patch and he knew she was crying, Scott rubs soothing circles on her back and he says.
"Shhh it's ok you can trust me and my family... how long has the beatings being going on?"
Abigail lifts her head up and looked into Scott's eyes.
"Three years"
Jeff asked Abigail.
"When was the last time you had something to eat?"
Abigail starts shaking and Scott felt her shaking, he holds her tight and he says.
"It's ok we're not going to tell you off"
"Three weeks... I haven't eaten anything for three weeks"
Jeff closed his eyes and he thinks to himself.
Jeff's thoughts.
What kind of man is her stepdad... scratch that I know what kind of man he is.
Jeff was brought out of his thoughts by the doctor walking in and the doctor asked Abigail.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm sore but I'm ok"
"Ok you will feel sore for a few days... I'll have to call social services"
Scott felt Abigail shaking and he could sense her fear, Scott looks to his dad and Jeff says.
"It's ok Abigail is coming home with me and my son"
"Ok I'll get the forms for you to sign"
Scott stayed with Abigail while Jeff went to sign the paperwork and before he left Scott says.
"Dad if you call grandma can you ask her to bring one of my track suits in for Abigail please?"
"Of course son"
After Jeff had signed the forms he called his mother and asked her to bring in one of Scott's track suits and to go in to a clothes store to get some underwear. He walks into Abigail's room and sits back down in the chair and he says.
"I've signed you out and my mother is bringing you a change of clothes"
"Thank you"
