(2013 version) 3 strikes you're out

*~*~* AJ's POV *~*~*

I knew what happened between her and her father but I don't want to tell her I did. J told me about it along time ago when we first became friends back in 1st grade.

"What happened between you and your dad?" I aske abruptly and immediately regretted speaking. She hesitated before speaking and I felt like she was about to tell at me to go fuck off.

"When I was 5 after my mom died," she started an took me by surprise, "my whole family took it hard. My dad was the worst. Since my brother and I look my mom, he couldn't look at us. He become an abusive, alcoholic dad and he always hit me and J. That's why I took up martial arts and stuff. I got scared that if I couldn't defend myself he'd keep hitting me and I was right." She sucked in a deep breath fighting off tears that threatened to fall. I sat on the bed and gave her a reassuring hug, urging her to go on. "He came home one day and he beat James and he usually stopped after 3 punches but this time he kept going. James was bleeding badly and he was knocked out cold. But my father didnt care. He just hitting him and hitting him." She started to cry now and I was about to tell her to stop the story now but she spoke again. "I screamed at him to stop and that's when he started to hit me. He didnt stop for my either. He just kept going and going. I felt blackness and I was unconscious but I heard someone come in and pull him off me. James was in a coma for a week but I was in a coma for 3 weeks. When I woke up, James was there next to me, he looked terrible with his eyes red and swollen from crying with black bags under his eyes. He had broken ribs and scratches everywhere that were slowly healing. When I looked at myself I had broken ribs, scratches all over, a broken arm, and a fractured wrist. We found out that our neighbor was the one who pulled him off me, and that if he hadnt, one more blow and I wouldn't be alive. We thanked him and he is now our legal guardian. His name is Johnathon and he was 20 at the time. Now he's married and is 29. He still watches over us today and we are happy. We haven't seen my dad since, that was until last night...." She looked up at me and instantly felt bad.

"My parents abandoned my sister and I when I was 12. They just up and left." I blurted out. I couldn't help but feel like a great burden has been lifted and it felt good. She looked at me with concern and worry in her tear filled eyes.

"I'm so sorry..."

'"It's fine... Is that why your dad.u you know."

She looked at the ground but James spoke

"Probably but he's in jail now for attempted man slautter." He said happily and gave her a big hug before she winced and he backed off scratching the back off his head looking at the ground sheepishly.

"Sorry." He mumbled. I couldn't help but looked stunned. I have never seen him like this. Alex just laughed and jumped on him.

"Oh! School starts tomorrow and we have all the same classes! I didn't know you take advanced math, english, history, and everything else!" J said. I the. Realized I had all the same classes as him, which means all the same classes as alex. I smiled and was about to say so when a laughter interupted.

"Aye! You feeling ok baby girl?" Steve asked as the crew came in carrying balloons, stuffed animals, and flowers. I looked at nick who had the biggest bear ever that was holding a strawberry heart that said

"I'm sorry but I give you my berry big heart to make it better!"

"Awwwee!!! Nick!!!" She cooed as she ran to give him a hug. When she released, she kissed him straight on the mouth and he kisse her back.
