Chapter Five

"Jasmine why don't you try this on?" Carmen urged pointing hopefully at a pair of jeans I frowned what I especially hate about shopping for clothes and trying on clothes It's a lot of work and believe it or not I'm lazy.

"Or you could try this on." Tee urged holding up a very colorful shirt I shook my head.

"No thanks I'll just try this on." I said nervously and grabbed something at random and speed walked into the changing room I drew the curtain closed and sat on the bench.

I looked at what I picked and saw I picked a purple flannel shirt I quite like it but it wouldn't look good on me I should really learn not to get my hopes up for things that won't come true after all reality isn't fantasy.

I walked out of the changing room with the flannel shirt in hand I searched for Tee and Carmen and spotted them with a girl that had blonde hair she looked friendly enough and looks approachable but I didn't have a good feeling about her and that feeling is almost never wrong almost.

I walked over to them they stopped their conversation when I got there Tee and Carmen smiled widely at me while the blonde haired girl looked at me warily I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden and started fidgeting with my fingers.

"Jasmine I would like you to meet Lily she's Carmen and I's friend she used to live with us but now she lives with her dad." Tee introduced she looked at me with a small smile but turned away then her faced lit up in my direction behind me she had huge smile on her face then she started walked in the direction.

Carmen and Tee followed her with a confused expression on their faces I followed them the same way. When we reached her she was turned around facing a guy she turned and faced us then all of a sudden all of the blood rushed out of my skin I felt like I couldn't move like my head was telling me to run far far away but my body wasn't listening.

"Guys this is my boyfriend Mark." Lily said with a smile Mark looked towards me with a comical smile.

When Lily uttered the name I felt the emotion I've felt for as long as I could remember scared. Scared for Hannah and Luke and scared for myself scared to live a life of fear again but I will not let Luke and Hannah live that kind of life they deserve better way better.

"Hiya." Mark muttered Lily smiled widely and cuddled next to him he's here I just know it but I know he wouldn't do anything with these amount of people here.

"Jasmine are you alright?" Tee asked putting her hand on my shoulder I nodded.

"Well Mark and I better be off." Lily gushed happily Tee and Carmen said their goodbyes then they left I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Why was he here? and if he's here what is he planning on doing?

"I need to go to the bathroom." I muttered Tee replied Ok and asked if I knew where it was I answered yes and said I saw it on the way I said I'll be right back and left I just needed to get out of there.

I walked along busy shops and was knocked down by people rushing to get the things they need before the shops close as I was walking trying to find the bathroom a hand reached out and covered my mouth I was then pulled into an abandoned corridor I looked to see that the person was Dean.

"Let me go." My voice cracked under his stare he never liked it when I would speak when not spoken to it was one of the rules he had me follow when I was with him.

He slapped me across the face which made me want to run away but he kept his grip on me I whimpered on account of how tight his grip was and how hard he hit me.

"Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine what have you been up to lately." Dean said with a sadist kind of amusement I shivered I instantly felt like the girl I was when I was with him scared and alone no one to turn to.

"How did you find me?" I asked I was waiting for a slap but it didn't come but I know he's gonna hurt me physically, mentally and emotionally it's all he ever did to me.

"Jasmine are you forgetting I'm always gonna find you no matter how hard you hide." Dean snigggered I kept my head down then he grabbed my chin and pulled my face up to face him.

"Where are the babies Jasmine?" Dean asked I shook my head tears snaked down my cheeks there is no way he's gonna hurt them over my dead body.

"You will never find them Dean they're safe away from you." I spat in his face he shook his head with a smile on his face and punched me in the stomach.

"Jasmine I'm gonna bring our family back together if you tell anyone that you saw me I'm gonna take the babies away far away Oh and I know that you've seen Mark well he's here to help me." He stated If he took them no he won't he can't I won't allow it he knows how much I love Hannah and Luke but he'll use that to get what he wants.

"Now Jasmine what you did was very bad now the police is on my case and you know ever action."

"Has a consequence."

He kneed me in the stomach then shoved me to the ground he started to unzip his trousers no not again I wanted to beg him not to but kicked me in the gut before I could say anything.

"Jasmine you know better." That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
