Part 7

*Kiara POV*

I lied in bed staring at the ceiling. I snuck through my window late last night. I didn't get any sleep I couldn't fall asleep.

I rolled over and checked my phone. It was 6am. Visiting hours were open. I snuck out of my window and went to the château. John B, Sarah and Cleo were probably asleep so I grabbed to keys to the twinkie and left. I didn't go to the hospital because I had another stop to make.

I parked outside JJ's house tapping the steering wheel. I saw the lights on and heard rock music blasting.

I opened the door of the twinkie and stepped outside. I went around the house and peeked through the window. I saw the kitchen with seven finished beer bottles with Luke in the kitchen chugging the 8th.

I went back around to the porch and stood in front of the door. I slowly opened the door and stood up straight.

"Look who it is like mother like daughter the little slut" he smirked. I slapped him across the face. "What the hell was that?!" he yelled. "Why are you like this. JJ is your son. You almost killed him. Your standing on floor stained of his blood!" I yelled at him. He stepped towards me getting closer and closer. He grabbed my wrist and twisted it. I winced in pain. "Looks like your not as tough as you try to be. And I could care less what happens to JJ he's a piece of shit!" he yelled over the music. I rolled my eyes and punched him in the face.

"You don't wanna go there princess" he grinned evilly. He turned over to the kitchen and grabbed his beer bottle he began drinking it constantly. I stood there in disgust. He turned around and punched me across the face. Tears dripped down my cheek. "Such a wimp I don't get why JJ would ever want to hang out with you" he rolled his eyes. I stood there in pain and ran to the twinkie.

I could barely take a punch in the face and here JJ is in the hospital almost dead from him.

I drove to the police station and went inside. Everyone stared at me. I slowly walked in on Shoupe on the phone. He saw me on and put the phone down. "What happe- where were you?" he asked.

"Listen i'm not gonna tell you what happened til I talk with the others but I need you to trust me. You didn't believe me about the Camerons because I was a pouge but I was right. JJ Maybank is in the hospital and he almost died. He almost died because Luke almost killed him he would of died if I didn't go to his house. Luke Maybank has abused JJ since he was three. Luke threatens him not to tell but i'm sick of JJ getting hurt so I came here. The reason I have a bruise on my face and wrist is because Luke just did this to me! Shoupe you half to listen to me and arrest him!" I yelled at him.

"Ok. Kiara this is a lot to process but i'm gonna need JJ to give a statement. I'll take Luke here and give him a cell but he can't get arrested until JJ gives a statement" he said softly. "No problem i'll go talk to him" I quickly said then ran out the door.

I got in the twinkie and decided to go to the drug store. I picked up a brush and some foundation and used it to cover up my bruises.

I got to the hospital and walked in. JJ was out of bed and already changed. "Hey Kie your here" he smiled. I smiled back and hugged him. "Are you ready to leave?" I asked. He nodded and we walked out together.

"Kie can you wait here I forgot something in the room?" he asked. "Yeah of course!" I said. He walked to the elevator and left. I walked over to the front desk. "Hello what can I help you with?" she questioned me. "Um hello I would like to pay for JJ Maybank's hospital bills." I responded. "Ok what is the credit card number?" she asked. I put it in and she stared at me awkwardly.
"Are you Anna?"
"Yes." I said instantly.

JJ came back down from the elevator. "Hey you good ?" he asked. I nodded, "Come on J lets go" I said then we left.

"Hey mind if we stop at the store so we can get a few drinks?" he said. "Not at all let's go." I replied

*JJ POV*

A few minutes later we got there and we both went inside. We got a couple packs of beer and headed to the cashier.

"Nobody ever comes here what makes you come here twice in less then an hour. Hey those marks you had are gone," the cashier told Kie. "Kie what is she talking about? What marks?" I asked her seriously.

"You know on your wrist and face," the cashier answered instead of Kie. She took me by the arm and pulled me out of the store.

"Kie what the hell is she talking about?! Either your hiding something or that cashiers gone crazy!" I screamed. "JJ i'm sorry i'm not hurt I just didn't wanna make a big deal out of it!" she yelled. She rubbed makeup off her face and wrist. I stood still staring at the large bruises. "Who the hell did this to you?" I gritted my teeth.

"I went to see your dad! Ok?! It's not like he can almost kill you and just go back to his normal life!" she yelled louder then ever. I tensed up "Kie he's my dad! I KNOW WHAT HE DID TO ME WAS WRONG BUT HE CAN'T GO AROUND DOING THIS TO YOU! KIE HE HURT YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I started to calm down and took a deep breath and started walking away. "JJ where the hell are you going?!" she shouted at me. "To my dads!" I yelled with anger. "JJ he's not there!" she yelled at me.

I turned around and looked at her confused. "JJ before you interrupt me I need you to listen to me. I couldn't go through the pain of seeing you constantly getting hurt. I went to Shoupe. I told him everything about your dad. He said he'd arrest him right away and put him in a temporary cell since there is no physical proof. In a few days he's going to court and all you have to do is say a statement. Then your done with him! You won't ever half to deal with him again!" she told me as calmly as she could.

I didn't say anything. I tear dripped down my cheek. I slowly approached her and hugged her. "Thank you. I could never have the strength to do that" I said as tears dripped onto her shoulder. "You don't ever have to thank you me" she said hugging me.

I wanted to be with her so bad. These little moments we had together made me have enough joy for a lifetime.

*Kiara POV*

"Kie are there anymore secrets your still keeping?" JJ smiled at me. "Please don't be mad but I paid for your hospital bills. It wasn't a problem, my parents have almost a hundred grand just sitting in a bank account untouched for years" I told him hoping he wouldn't hate me.

"Kie, my money problems have nothing to do with you I could handle it on my own" he said calmly. "I know i'm sorry but I have a way to make it up to you" I grinned. "What?" he asked.

I got out my phone and started typing.
