Kate's eye's fluttered open the next morning. For a moment she wondered where she was but she felt a hand brush down her side she remembered. Jack. She turned over and found herself looking into two hazel pool's. "Sleep well ?" Jack asked her.
"Very," Kate replied, brushing her lip's over his. "So what are gonna do today ?" she asked.
"Well we're going to the police," Jack said.
"Why ?" Kate asked, slightly alarmed. She sat up and turned to face him.
"Jerry can't get away with that," he said, his finger's once again moving over the bruises on her inner thigh's.
"He did for three year's. What's the difference now ?" Kate said bitterly.
"The difference is that I'll be with you," Jack said tenderly.
"Do you think I can ?" Kate asked.
"Yes, I know you can," Jack said kissing her. Kate smiled at him.
"Okay I'll go to the police and report him," Kate said confidently.
"That's my girl," Jack grinned.
"Your girl ?" Kate asked shyly.
"Who else's ?" Jack said softly, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"By the way, before we start a relationship your gonna have to get past group inspection," Kate giggled.
"What ?" Jack asked, confused.
"My friend's. They'll want to inspect you. Needless to say they didn't deem Jerry worthy, but they'll probably like you," Kate reassured him.
"And if they don't ?"
"Then you'll be treated to year's of hostility and evil glares. My friend's are very protective of me," Kate said.
"Well I'll try to impress," Jack said.
"You don't need to try," said Kate as she ran her finger's over his hair. "Your already perfect and they're going to love you."
Three hour's later, Jack and Kate had finally managed to get dressed. Jack walked into the living room just as Kate got off the phone. "Who was that ?" he asked, wrapping his arm's around her waist.
"That was Shannon, one of my friend's. We're meeting them tonight at a club in town," Kate replied and turned in his arm's to kiss him. "They seem eager to meet you, I could hear them in the background yelling their head's off," Kate giggled.
"Well I'm looking forward to it, but sweetie we need to head to the police station," Jack reminded her.
"Will you stay with me," Kate pleaded.
"Of course I will," Jack said.
"Let's go then," Kate sighed and they grabbed their coat's and headed into the bitter wind's of December.
Arriving at the police station, Kate was instantly seen to by a female officer. They were led to a private room where the police woman eyed Jack suspiciously. Kate noticed. "He's okay, he's my current boyfriend," Kate reassured her and the officer relaxed and let him into the room.
"Now we're going to need to see the bruise's," the woman said.
"Do you really need to ?" Kate asked, and she felt Jack's grip tighten on her hand.
"Yes I'm afraid we do. But it will be a female nurse and your boyfriend can stay if he like's," she said, but Kate was still tense.
They were led down a corridor and into an all white room with an examining table. Kate felt sick with fear as another woman entered the room. She sat in front of Kate and Jack and gave them a friendly smile. "Hi I'm Kelly and I'm going to examine you. I know that it can be very difficult after coming out of an abusive relationship, but if it help's us put him behind bar's then it's for the best," she said gently. She noticed Jack and turned back to Kate. "Do you want your boyfriend to stay ?" she asked.
"Yes please," Kate answered and Jack gave her a winning smile.
"Could you please get undressed down to your underwear and we'll begin," she said and Kate stripped down to her black bra and pantie's. She sat uncomfortably on the table as the nurse examined her bruises. Tear's streamed down Kate's face as she described everything that had happened in her relationship with Jerry. At point's Jack had trouble containing his emotion's and tear's would roll down his cheek's, as he listened to the awful thing's this beautiful woman had to endure everyday.
"He would constantly cheat on me. One day I asked him why he did it and he punched me. He told me that he wasn't satisfied with a piece of trash like me and not to ask anymore question's," Kate sobbed. Rage boiled inside Jack and he knew if he ever met Jerry he would need to be fed of a drip for the rest of his life. Kate curled into Jack's embrace and her tear's made wet patches on his shirt. He rubbed little circle's on her back with his thumb until her harsh sobbing had subsided.
"If you'll excuse me I'm going to get a box of tissue's," Kelly choked out. Even she was crying, just listening to the pain this woman had been through.
"Kate baby, are you okay ?" Jack said softly, stroking her hair.
"Yeah I'll be fine," Kate replied.
A while later they left the station, and went home.
