Sorry for the long wait, I am working on some of the problems I am having with some of my stories, story ideas, and a few I plan on adding soon.

Chapter Seven

Jared's POV

After Kim finally told us the truth about what her parents put her through, Paul and I were both angry. We were close to phasing and could have done something to hurt or scare Kim, but thankfully Rachel came into my room and told us to leave before anything could happen.

I don't like that I have to leave Kim alone after all she's been through, but I know that I have to get away to clear my mind so that I don't phase.

"Do not phase", I told Paul when we were outside the house, "I don't want the others in the pack knowing about Kim yet", "Dude how could they have done that to her", Paul asked me after he had calmed down; "they are her parents".

"I know", I told him as my parents walked out of the house and joined us. "How is she", Paul asked. "Fine I think", my mom said smiling sadly at me and Paul, "Rachel is with her". "Rach can handle this better than we can", Paul said, "what are we going to do about this, Kim's parents should be punished for mistreating her".

"We'll talk to Billy about what they did to Kim about Kim is better", my dad said. "Jared", Rachel called to me as she joined us, "Kim's taking a shower. I made sure that there wasn't anything in the bathroom that she could use to hurt herself with. Why don't you go wait on her to finish, if you're calm enough". "Thank you Rachel", I said as I left them to go into the house to wait on my imprint to come out of the shower.

Kim's POV

Rachel left me alone so I could get clean. It has been a while since I've actually been clean, there is a stream near the shack that I used to use to clean myself, but it's not the same as a shower.

I spent a long time in the shower. When I finally got out my skin was red, and I'm shocked that I didn't hurt myself with how hard I had scrubbed myself.

After I got dressed I went to the mirror and wiped away the steam. I knew that my body had been through a lot of changes since my parents left, but thinking about those changes is different that actually seeing them for yourself.

I used to weigh a healthy weight, but now I am skin and bones, I am paler than I have ever been, and my hair is thin. I don't like what I see, and I hate what I've become. Sadly I fear that I will never be able to be the girl I used to be.

After staring at myself for what seemed like hours I was finally brought back to reality by someone knocking on the door. I walked over to the door figuring Rachel was on the other side waiting on me to finish, but instead when I opened the door I came face to face with Jared.

"Are you ok", Jared asked looking down at my wrists. "Yea", I answered shyly. "Good", Jared said giving me a huge smile, "come one then, mom's cooked dinner, and she and my dad want to meet you". "Ok", I said as I followed him downstairs, hoping that his parents would like me.

I hope you enjoyed. Please review.
