Chapter 29 This is why I wanted what I wanted

The kids showed their improvement in leaps and bounds, they not only listened and learned but they had steadily earnt back everything that had been taken away, instead of prison it was becoming a home. Raven was still having her little chats to the kids about what was going on with them, she found that a lot of their problems were easily solved. The only one that hadn't opened up yet was Alana, she seemed very content on keeping whatever was going on in her head to herself. Raven didn't want to push as that would only cause more problems. On a very rare occasion Iziah was up from her room with the kids going through the big project with them.

"And your saying shes allergic to potatoes?" Matt asked again as they went through meal ideas for their project. They found that Raven held a lot of food allergies which cut out a lot meal ideas, the kids weren't quite sure whether they could believe Iziah.

"Yeah, now how about some sort of noodle dish?" Iziah put ideas forward but the kids kept rejecting them, they simply weren't good enough.

"No, how about some sort of pizza?" James suggested, that idea was shut down too.

"I've got it! How about pasta?"

"No Gina, not good enough" Matt slammed his fist down on his open palm "We need something that will make her go OMG!"

"Pasta could do that" Gina argued "You don't know"

"Stop it, if your not allowed to fight to the death then you can't fight at all" Iziah put in before they could argue some more.

"How about Iziah cooks something nice like a noodle dish and we can do that berry cheesecake she likes but can never be bothered making, she'll enjoy the simplicity of it and the fact that we worked together" Alana suggested quietly hoping that her idea was good enough.

Matt finally smiled "Yes! Thats sounds good."

His smile made the girl blush, quickly she looked away as he started to take down notes and make a plan. The others seemed happy that at least that part was over and now they could focus.

"How does that sound for a plan?" Matt said some time later Now they were all glad to be away from Matt while he was in the kitchen, he was starting to turn into Gordon Ramsey mixed with Raven, they weren't sure which was worse.

"Sounds good, she is totally gonna love her birthday" Gina smiled as Matt handed out their copies of the idea sheet.

"And I'll get Storm to get the ingredients" Matt finished

"Oh and some vodka" Iziah put in, they all looked at her.

"Why vodka?"

"I'm thirsty"

"Alright, whatever" Matt shook his head as James went to get Storm from her room.

After the idea had been explained Storm was on her way to Toms to pick up the ingrideints and Iziahs vodka. She knew that Raven wouldn't like her birthday any more than usual, Raven always hated the day she was born but she knew Raven would appreiciate all the effort they were putting in so she had to give the kids some credit. Going up and down the small aisles of Toms she cursed herself for not bringing her Ipod, at least she could block out all her annoying neighbours. It was when she was deciding which cream cheese to get when she heard the words that would define her day and mood.

"Storms not gonna find out"

She reconized it as Jeff, he was talking to someone about her. She froze where she was so she could listen to more. He was over the next aisle not caring who over heard his conversation.

"You would think you would feel bad"

"You would think so but no" Jeff chuckled "Besides its gonna be so sweet when that big nosed faggot finds out I banged his daughter"

"You haven't even done that yet"

"Yeah but I will and when I do it'll be twenty for fucking her and a hundred for pissing Hunter off."

Storm saw red, Jeff was only using her to make her father pissed. She felt like such an idiot. Not knowing what else to so she dropped her stuff and stalked down to his aisle. Jeff's face lost all colour when he saw her, he tried to speak to her but Storm wasn't having it. Without warning she viciously punched him in the face breaking his nose. Tom just looked at her wanting an explaination from the tall girl. He knew Storm so whatever he had done he probably deserved it.

"He was staring at my cleavage" Storm said darkly slamming some money on the counter and stalking out of the shop.

She was so angry she couldn't think straight. How many women had he done this too and why didn't her father just tell her? In her angry hurt state she went over to her fathers.

"Tell me again why I should stay away from Jeff Hardy" Storm said when her father answered the door. Tiredly he ran a hand over his face.

"You don't want to know Storm"

"Yeah I do" Storm said not willing to leave until she had heard the entire story. "So just tell me"

Sighing Hunter led her through to the living room, he bought her a coffee before sitting down with her. "Jeff's only interested in one thing, his next high. He gets off on using women like his playtoys, they usually lose their value once hes fucked them, I don't want you on his hit list"

"Yeah well I won't be. It turns out that he only wanted me to piss you off" Storm sighed heavily "Why do you two hate each other?"

"Because we used to do it together" Hunter said heavily, Storm looked at him in shock,

"Dad thats disgusting! How could you?"

"Hey I was younger then and I wasn't married"

"So what happened?"

"I grew up, I guess Jeff still isn't there. The point is I don't want you to be one of those women that suddenly lost value because Jeff is finished with them"

"Well we were secretly seeing each other, a few dates and some texts but I over heard him talking today at Toms"

"Storm please tell me you didn't"

"No! What kinda girl do you think I am?"

"I'm hoping a smart girl that wasn't swayed by the words of that lying douche bag"

"No Dad I wasn't" Storm finally smiled "I broke his nose though"

"Thats my girl" Hunter patted her hand gently "This is why I wanted you away from him. You are too good to be his playtoy"

"Well don't worry because if he comes near me I'm gonna kill him"
