They rushed her into the operating room, I waited for so long. It felt like days passed by. I sat in the chair outside of the O.R. Jack came and handed me some tea.

I gulped it down, and handed him the cup.

"I know you're stressed and worried, but at least try to calm down."

"Calm down? You want me to CALM DOWN! My life has been a living hell, AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN; Kaylee is in there in surgery, because of Derek!" I saw Grace from the corner of my eye.

"My so called best friend abandoned me after she knew what Derek did to me, and taunted me about it for three years, and all of a sudden, she feels bad! I won't calm down until this entire thing blows over, until Derek is in jail, until Kaylee is okay, and everything is back to the way it used to be..!" I yelled

Tears streamed down my face, I fell back into my seat.

Soon the doctor came out. "Kim?"

I immediately stood up. "'How is she?"

"She'll be fine, there was no trauma to her head, we twisted her ankle back in place, and she needs to wear a cast, give her some painkillers for her leg, two a day. Other than that, she'll be able to leave tonight."

"Thank you."

I slowly walked into Kaylee's room. She smiled at me. "You said if I left without permission, you would disown me."

I chuckled.

She watches way too much One Tree Hill.

The nurses removed the IV from her arm, she swung her arm around my neck, and I helped her out of bed.

When we got her crutches, and finally reached the parking lot, we had no choice but to get into Grace's car.

"Kim, I know you probably hate me, but I feel really bad. If you give me a chance, we can be friends again."

I remained silent.

"Why should I? I mean you could've been a good friend, instead of turning on me. I'll give you a chance, but if you blow it, then there's no second chance." I replied.

She smiled. She took us to her house, and helped out with Kaylee. She really began to prove herself to me.

I overheard a phone conversation that Grace had.

"No Donna, I still can't believe you blackmailed me to stop being friends with Kim. Donna NO!"

She quickly hung up the phone.

"So that's why?"

She nodded. "I guess she's going to tell the whole school. Guess I'm ready for the insults."

"Don't worry. No one's going to mess with you. I'll make sure of it, and so will Jack."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's pretty obvious; he likes you, he liked you ever since the eighth grade."

"Oh." I'm at a loss for words.

"I just never thought of myself as pretty or likable."

"How have you been lately?"

"Not good. I fell into depression for a period of time, and in a strange way I've fallen in love with it, but I realized it wasn't for me and it was hurting the only person around me."

Grace wiped a few tears away. There was a few things Grace was right about Donna did make school a living hell ,Grace and Jack did stand up for me, but something else happened...

That would seem expected yet unexpected at the same time...

(Line Break)

"Can I come to school with you guys today? The middle school is having high school orientation, so I would see everyone anyway."

"Sure kiddo." I said.

We all got into Grace's car and drove to school.

I walked into the school with Jack,Grace, and Kaylee by my side.

"Hey Jackie! Grace, Kim. Oh by the way Kim I'm going to be as straight forward as possible. You're ugly."

"Oh I was trying to look like you today." I replied. I walked past Donna, and bumped right into mom.

"Kaylee, why aren't you in school?"

"She's here for the high school orientation."

"Don't talk to me, you little slut."

"Are you kidding me? I'm not the slut in the room."

"Excuse me? You will watch your mouth young lady, you belong to me!"

"I belong to nobody and nobody belongs to me. We don't even belong to each other."

"Besides, you're the reason this whole crap even started, you and dad had an affair with different people. You got pregnant thee times, and had three abortions." Kaylee spoke out, who was now by my side.

Before I knew mom called her a little bitch, and knocked her crutches from under her, and I tackled mom to the ground, and practically began pounding her face in. She flipped me over, and began strangling me. It sort of went back and forth I punched, she choked. Jack pulled me off of her, and the police officer grabbed hold of her."I hope you rot in hell!" I yelled.

I just need space ,a lot of it.

I ran into the courtyard, I sat down, and hugged my knees, and cried.

a hand rested on my shoulder."Are you okay?" "Not really." "Anything I can do?"

"I don't know." I reply.

"How do you feel that you're parents might as well be going to jail, for drugs, alcohol, rape, and abuse?"

I looked up when he said 'rape'. I didn't tell him about that..

"Grace told me."

"I guess I'm a little relieved, but now Kaylee doesn't really have a place to stay. I'm not worried about myself right now."

"You should worry about yourself along with Kaylee. She wouldn't like it, if you didn't care for yourself."

"Come on, let's go."

"Where?"

"Your house."

He took me back there, so I could get the rest of my things. I opened the door and went up the stairs, I came across a photo of my faily. At least the family we used to be, the glass was broken.

I put the picture down, and grab the suitcase, I've kept packed Me and Kaylee's clothes belongings since forever.

"Now its time for the road to recovery." I say to myself, leaving the house I grew up in, where I smiled, but then cried, was beaten, bruised, raped.

Now all of that is behind me no, and it will always be.

Aww Cheesy ending, but who cares! I hoped you liked it!
