Twenty seven years later:
"I think this one might be the one" Jamie twirled in a one strap dress, the sales lady nodded in agreement. Jamie looked at the spot Lauran should be in and stopped mid twirl. "Can I have a moment alone?" the lady nodded and left Jamie alone. "What do you think Brianna?" Jamie pulled the over warn doll form her purse, Jamie could hear her mother voice telling her to twirl on more time so she could see the back. "Do you think mom will like it?" Jamie looked into Brianna's face and had her answer, Jamie sighed as the lady came back. "Have you made your choose yet?" once herd Jamie hid the doll behind her back, "I have" Jamie nodded then stepped back into the dressing room. The lady whispered in her ear, "I know you have that doll, most young brides like you who are buying a dress without there mother's usually have some sort of comfort thing with them." The lady helped Jamie out of the dress. "May I see your doll?" Jamie looked at Brianna then handed the lady the doll, "it looks worn. And old, you've had this since you were a baby didn't you?" the lady's smile reminded Jamie of her mother. "Before that even, my mom had her first. She-" Jamie pointed to the doll, "was a baby shower gift, my mom got for herself, I've been told wean she first held it I calmed down suddenly" Jamie pulled her t - shirt back on then contuied. "So she bought it and I've had it ever sense" the lady's smiled warmed Jamie as she handed back the doll, "well enjoy your dress and your doll" Jamie nodded then left he store. Once home Jamie hid her gown to be her drunk and clumsy fiancée couldn't find it, "Jamie!" soon to be father in-law called for her. He was ten pounds over weight and refused to move form his rusty green chair, "you called dad?" Jamie put her apron back on. "Yes I called you, who else in this house are named Jamie?" he pulled Jamie by her arm to ask for what he wanted, "Jamie I want a roast beef sandwich, without crusts and an ice cold root beer. And after that I want an ice cream Sunday" Jamie nodded and the soon to be father in-law still hadn't let go, "oh and don't forget the ketchup" he let go and Jamie unviable shudder, Jamie cried as she prepared his meal. Thinking about drugging him to death. Then thought better of it, "Jamie, I'm hungry!" the man called. "I'm coming Robert!" yelled as she put the finishing touches on Robert's lunch, "Jamie now!" Robert yelled louder, the noise from his chair made her make the sandwich faster. She was too late. "Jamie wean I say now, I mean NOW!" he grabbed Jamie's arm and threw her to the ground. "I'm sorry father, it won't happen again" Jamie held up her arms so it would block what ever punched the over weight man threw. "Drop your pants" Robert fidgeted with his belt, "father no, please no!" Jamie screamed as she dropped her pants and underwear. It lasted for an hour then Jamie was free to run to her room, 'I hate it here, why did I move from mom? Why?" Jamie cried to her pillow. An hour later her fiancée cam home, "Jamie!" Dylan screamed. "Hello honey" Jamie had a long shirt on, to cover the bruises she got from Robert. "I heard you upset my father?"
