Never Judge a Book

Chapter 10

I don't own a thing!

Since I got lazy in actually looking up spanish, I decided to just BOLD whatever they're saying in spanish. Sooo...

BOLD= Spanish

This chapter is wicked boring just for the heads up. Ummmm just review anyways. I would like to thank sundance1989 for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. :)

So after doing a lot of thinking, I decided to go see a therapist to get my anger out in a way. Destiny said it should be good, and if not I have a date with a punching bag at the gym.

"Jen Daniels?" A woman said, holding a notebook. I got up from my waiting seat, and followed her into the room. "Jen, What brings you here?"

"Lately I've been just angry with so much. Usually I'm not hostile towards anyone, but this past few days I've been just wanting to punch every person I see in the face."

"Has anything happened this week?"

"Yes," I answered. "A woman that basically raised me since I was like a 11 was killed this weekend."

"What was the woman's name.?"

"Evelyn Mercer."

"Tell me about Evelyn..." She asked.

"Evelyn was a woman, who would put just about everyone before herself. If you were freezing, she would give you the jacket off of her back just so that you were okay. She adopted 4 sons, and raised them into young men. She was the person I could lean on during my rough childhood."

"Tell me about your childhood."

"I don't know where to start." I said, with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?"

"My childhood was so fucked it's not even funny." I said. "Well it wasn't totally fucked in the begining."

"Well, start where you're most comfortable." I nodded.

"I was born in east bum fuck, virgina. My dad was transfered there since he was in the military." I began. "I loved my father. You can say I was daddy's little girl."

"What happened to your father?"

"He was killed overseas." I answered. "My mom went through a depression which is where my life started to go down."

"Why do you say that?"

"She left me at home to fend for myself sometimes, and then she met David, my step-father." I looked down at my boots. "They got married after like 7 months of being together, and they decided that we needed a new start. So we packed up and moved here."

"How was your relationship with David?"

"I felt awkward around him since he wasn't my father. I missed my father, and here comes some random guy who I don't know trying to take my father's place. I just wasn't willing to take him as my father. Something happened between us causing any feeling I had towards him, just turned into hate and anger."

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened between you two that changed your whole feelings towards him?" I could feel the tears coming.

"One day after coming home from Eveyln's, I went home to do some some homework. David was there, but he was downstairs drinking whatever. As I was doing my homework, He came upstairs to my room. He started talking to me; asking questions. Then he asked for a kiss on the cheek. I tried to protest but his tone was scary, but he pinned me down and raped me. "

"I'm sorry." She said. I grabbed a tissue from the table, and wiped my eyes. "Did your mom ever find out?" I nodded.

Flashback.

I poked my head out into the hallway, and there was no sign of David. I grab my backpack from my bed, and quickly run down the stairs.

"Where do you think you're going?" My mom asked, as I bumped into her.

"School." I lied.

"It's saturday, Jen." She said. "I'm about to head out and run some errands."

"Can I come?" I asked. She shook her head.

"No, I need you to stay here." She said.

"Please mom?" She shook her head.

"You'll be fine." She walked out the door, and I followed her.

"Mom, there's something I have to tell you." I said.

"What?" I took a deep breath and looked her in her eyes.

"David has been touching me in an inappropriate way when you're not arround." I said. She looked at me with a blank look. She shook her head, and her face tensed up.

"You're lying! He would never do that to you."

"But mom-"

"I deserve some happiness Jen, and I'll be damned if you take it away from me." She got into her car and drove off. I could feel someone looking at me, and turned around. David was looking at me through the bedroom window.

I ran across the street, and knocked on the door to the Mercer household. Bobby answered the door.

"Oh look if it isn't the bitch can't take a hint." He said.

"Is Evelyn here?" I asked.

"Why should I tell you?" I looked down at my feet, then back at my place. David was still looking at me.

"Please Bobby."

"Why are you always on my mom's dick? Don't you have friends of your own?"

"Yeah-"

"No you dont', so you should probably stop lying to yourself, Jen." He said. It's hard to hear those cold words come from your crush's mouth.

"Bobby, Who's at the door?" The sound of Evelyn's voice lifted my head. "Hey Jen! Come on in." I looked back, and David wasn't there anymore.

Flashback over.

"So you had a crush on her son, correct?" I nodded.

"Yeah, but he treated me like shit." I said, wiping my tears.

"Have you talked to the son since then?"

"Yeah, " I answered. "I talk to all of them."

"Alright, let's go back to your parents. How did you feel about what your mom said?"

"At that moment, I was hurt. You'd think your mom of all people would believe you. Once that happened, our relationship started to dwindle until I was like 16 when I graduated high school early. I don't know where my mom or step dad are. I really don't care to tell the truth." I explained. "So as far as I know, I have no mother."

I continued to talk to her about all of my problems in my life, and in return she gave me some advice on things. I'm just gonna sleep on it.
