Tempest

I looked up at the fire escape and David was sitting outside and I grabbed the fire escape pulling myself up and climbing the fire escape to where David sat. He moved over and I sat beside him and ran my hand over his back before grabbing his hand reassuringly lacing his fingers in mine and he squeezed my hand tightly and I squeezed back,

"You aren't alone" I told him and he nodded.

"I trusted him" he shook his head.

"We all did" I sighed laying my head on his shoulder, "Some of us still do" I sighed looking at Les through the window.

We didn't really speak, both of our words were lost in the silence but the silence held anger and hurt. I stood up as the went down and the stars came out,
"Don't leave… come have dinner with us" David told me, "Being alone doesn't seem like a good idea for either of us right now" he stated and I smiled slightly nodding as he opened the window and he crawled inside before taking my hand and I followed in.

"Is it alright if Danielle stays for dinner she has no where else to go" David stated.
"Of course" His mother smiled setting another place.
"Thank you" I smiled sitting down.

We didn't talk like last time I had dinner with them David was making it clear it was a bad day and I wasn't any help keeping my eyes on my meatloaf, potatoes and corn. I finished the food,
"Thank you that was delicious" I smiled.

"You are welcome, do you need a place to stay?" his mother asked.
"You can stay with me in my room" Sarah offered.

"Thanks that would be great… little girl time would be lovely" I nodded as we stood up and did our dishes before going into her bedroom and she got me out a night gown as I washed up.

"Are you alright?" She asked me quietly as I brushed my hair staring not looking at myself.

"Yeah" I lied brushing my hair and something took over my entire body which started to shake and tears flowed quickly, "NO" I sobbed covering my face and crying for the first time in a long time.

Sarah put her arms around my shoulders taking the brush from my hands and hugging me to her tightly as I cried as quietly as possible.

"It's alright?" she whispered in more of a question form then anything as she rubbed my back.

I calmed down after a few minutes and she handed me her handkerchief and I wiped my eyes and blew my nose.

"Thank you" I sighed running my fingers through my hair, "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to burst like that" I told her and she looked at my sympathetically, "Jack" I shook my head faking a smile, "Its all because of him we are in this mess, and the reason I'm crying like an idiot" I shook my head wiping a few more tears, "And I wouldn't change any of it but I would be fine if everyday didn't keep getting worse and worse… with no distractions… you are so lucky you aren't directly in this mess it's just crazy" I shook my head and she nodded.

"Tomorrow why don't you come help me at work run clothes for me?" She suggested.
"Yeah that would be a great distraction… thank you Sarah" I sighed walking over to the bed and crawling inside the covers as she blew out the light.

I barely slept again and was up staring at the ceiling off and on all night between the hour and two hour intervals of sleep I was getting before the sun started to rise and I got up grabbing my clothes and slipping them back on and tying my shoe on as Sarah awoke and started to get ready.

"Come on" Sarah told me as we finished breakfast but I barely touched mine not feeling hungry at all, "Here is a basket of laundry needs to go to the cleaners and then I'll meet you back at the seamstress?" she stated and I nodded.
"I wanna come" Les stepped towards me.
"Alright come on" I told him grabbing the basket and we started down the street as the city was awake and moving now.

Les walked behind me playing with his wooden sword and I kept walking when someone stepped on my dress.

"Excuse me sweet face" Oscar smirked bowing his head.
"Beat it Oscar" I growled before running right into Morris and I sighed looking at him.

"Where's Davey at honey?" Morris touched my face and I cringed as he slap the basket out of my hands.

"Get off" I pushed Oscar's hands off my waist pushing him back and trying to go around Morris but he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Leave her alone!" Les growled as Morris pushed me down an alley.

I saw Les hit a puddle,
"Stop it!" I yelled as Morris' hands started to travel south on my back, "Morris!" I squealed pushing him back as hard as I could and I punched him so hard my knuckles cracked and I cringed.

He shook his head grabbing his bleeding lip and grabbed me again pulling at my blouse from the back and I felt it rip I the back and I screamed pushing his arm off me.
"Hey!" David yelled and he stopped.
"David, run!" I told him as Morris' hand covered my mouth.

"Shut up!" he growled in my ear as David tackled Oscar and Morris pushed me into the ground as Oscar and David fought.
"STOP! You are hurting him!" I screamed, "Les, get help" I pushed Morris hands off my dress again as it tore on the shoulder, "Stop it!" I screamed and he was lifted off me and Jack hit him a couple times threw him into the crates.

Jack grabbed Oscar off David,

"Remember Crutchy?" He asked head butting Oscar and he fell into the crates width his brother.

"Come here" Jack grabbed my hands pulling me up to his body, "It's alright" he whispered hugging me tightly before examining my tattered shirt, "Here" he took his jacket off and put it around my shoulders to hide my torn blouse.
"David, are you alight? I asked him as Jack pulled him up brushing him off as the DeLancey's got up and Jack pulled me behind him quickly.
"You better run Cowboy we are gonna tell Uncle Weas" Morris told him, "You'll be back in the refuge by supper time" He grumbled.
"Jack!" I stopped him from going after them.

"I should kill him" Jack stated, "For trying dat wid you" Jack shook his head grabbing my face.

"I'm alright Jack" I sighed looking at David, "I knew he'd come back" I told David.

"What you couldn't stay away?" David asked him holding his ribs.

"Well I guess I can't be something I ain't" Jack shrugged.

"A scab?" David asked.
"No smart" Jack shrugged.

"Come on" David told us and Jack put his arm around my back and we walked back to Medda's place.
