Chapter 7.

"I can't fucking take this anymore," Abby yelled, "I'm getting the hell out of here." Her withdraws had made her miserable, and she was ready to use again.

"No Abby you can't leave not now, your so close to being clean." I told her, she stood up from the seat and starred me down. "Emmett, get in here now." As I called for Emmett she started to make for the door. We had done this atleast once a day for the past three days, so Emmett had beat her there and had a hold of her.

"Let me go." she yelled and kicked at Emmett, he picked here up and carried her upstairs. "You can't do this to me, your not my parents."

"Yeah well we care about what happens to you Abby," Emmett said, "you'll thank us when all this is over." I fallowed them upstairs, Abby was still kicking and screaming when we reached her room. "Please don't fight us on this Abby" Emmett said softly as he laid her down on the bed. She calmed when her head hit the pillow.

"I promise you Abby it gets better, and once your free from it, everything is easier." I told her pushing her damp hair out of her face.

"It's just so hard." she said before she started crying.

"I know it is, but you just gotta push through it."

We left the room after she feel asleep, and it took her awhile to fall asleep. Hopefully the nightmares, and shakes wouldn't come back and wake her up again.

"It's funny how taking care of her has made me feel so protective over here, almost like….like" Emmett struggled to find the right word.

"Like she's your daughter." I finished for him.

"Yeah, I know it's really silly, but I feel like she's part of me now, and I'm all she has." Emmett told me. "The other day, when you were out with Alice, she told me I was the closest thing to a father she ever had, and I was really happy she had said that."

"I hope she decides to stick around after all this is over, cause she really has nowhere else to go and I'd hate to see her go back to him." I said.

"We won't let that happen Rosie, I promise." Emmett said before he kissed the top of my head.

The next morning Abby was able to get out of bed without feeling dizzy, which was a good sign. Emmett had left for work and I was in the kitchen when she came downstairs.

"I'm so hungry, I fell like I haven't ate in weeks." she said sitting on one of the barstools.

"That's because the only thing you've been able to keep down for the past week is water and crackers." I told her, "Here have some Rice Crispies." I passed the box toward her and handed her milk, a bowl, and a spoon.

"Thanks, sorry about yesterday," she said, "and every other day."

"It's okay, we know you didn't mean. I've been where you are, it's not a very pleasant thing, it took five years to stop." I walked over and hugged. "It looks like your starting to get better now and that's all that matters."

"Thanks Rose." she smiled.

"After breakfast Alice and I are gonna take you up to Port Angles to do some shopping, if that's okay?"

"Yeah sounds fun."

We the left the house at about eleven and made to Port Angles by eleven-thirty. Abby was excited to be getting out of the house, I was nervous she might make a run for it.

"You'll like shopping with Alice, she knows exactly what to get." I told Abby as we walked into one of the stores. She watched as Alice went from rack to rack grabbing jeans, shirts and dresses. She brought them to Abby and sent her to the changing room.

"I'm gonna go find some shoes make sure she likes everything." Alice said before gliding off to the shoes. I stay and watched as Abby fell in love with outfit after outfit, it made me happy to see her enjoying herself.

"Where'd Alice go?" She asked when she finished.

"She's getting shoes." I told her as we walked over to join Ali. By the end of the trip Abby had enough close to last for months, and shoes to match.

"Thank you guys so much." she said as we stopped for lunch.

"Your welcome Abby, we're happy to help." Alice said. "Royce has hurt to many amazing girls, I'm glad I've helped get three of them off the street."

"Emmett wanted to make sure you were comfortable and had everything you needed so he insisted we get you some more cloths." I told her.

"He's been very nice to me," Abby sighed, "he's the only man in my life who's ever cared about, the only one who's never hurt me."

"He see's you as his daughter Abby, he want's you to be happy." I told her, and she smiled.
