MC Devil Dogs #3 Why Am I Not Loveable?

Cherise helps Penny

Cherise

     I walked to the couch and said "Excuse me sweetie."  It took a couple of times but she finally woke up.  I didn't want to touch her and scare her though.  She opens her eyes and I give her a smile.  I give her the sandwich and a coke.  I sit beside her while she eats.  Prez then speaks "Nothing will happen to you, no one will touch you unless you want them too here."  She stares at him not saying anything.  She looks at me with a questioning look.  I hold her hand and tell her "You can trust him, I did.  I am so thankful that I did, he saved me.  Can I ask what your name is?"  She answers "My name is Penny."  I give her hand a squeeze.  I tell her "My name is Cherise, Prez is the one sitting at the desk and the one by the door is Razor."  She give a small smile. 

     Prez clears his throat then asks her "Do you mind answering a few questions for me?"  She nods her head no.  I still hold her hand.  Prez asks "First question, how old are you Penny?"  I give her hand a squeeze and she answers "Twenty."  He then asks her "Can you tell me how you ended up at that warehouse and can you tell me who hurt you?"  She looks over at me I can tell she is anxious.  So I decided I would share some of my story.  I tell her "Penny I am twenty four, Prez here saved me a few years back.  One day I can tell you everything but right now I will just give you the highlights.  I start my story "So when I was fifteen my father owed some really bad people some money so he sold me to cover his debts.  They did some bad things to me.  I was able to escape them after a really bad beating.  I lived on the streets for a little while until they found me again and I was running from them when I ran into Prez.  I literally ran into him trying to get away from them.  He brought me here the same as you.  He will most likely give you the same options he gave me.  You can trust him I promise Penny."  I give her hand another squeeze.  I know how hard it is to trust anyone when you have been hurt like this. 

Razor

     I am stunned to hear some of Cherise's story.  The look in her eyes tells me she is hiding so much.  I guess Cherise's story helped Penny open up.  I listened as Penny started "My brother kept me there for entertainment for his friends.  He is fifteen years older than me so when my mom died I had to go live with him.  He...He...he started hitting me early on but he didn't make me do sexual acts until I was 17.  I didn't get to finish school and he wouldn't allow me outside of his place unless he was taken me somewhere to entertain men.  So I have been there since I was twelve when my mom died in car crash.  My dad took off right after I was born.  I have no one and no skills unless you count prostitution as a skill."  What the fuck is wrong with people?  How could you do this to your own family?  Poor Cherise and Penny but I am still confused as to why we have Penny now. 

    I have no clue really what happen at the warehouse.  I really thought we were going to pick up money the guy owed.  Prez is saying "Penny I will give you a safe place to stay.  I will also give you time to heal from the abuse.  As soon as you are able you can help with chores around the clubhouse such as cooking, cleaning, laundry whatever you feel like doing.  For now you will sleep in Cherise's room while we get a room cleaned out for you."  Penny is sitting there looking like Prez just offered her cash money.  I hear Prez call my name.  I need to be listening instead of drifting off with my thoughts.  Prez calls to Cherise "Cherise tomorrow I want you to go with Penny to the clinic to get her a good check up.  She needs her injuries checked and also for STDs.  Razor you will take them and stay with them."  I see Cherise nod her head yes and then I answer "Yes Prez."  He then looks over to Penny and says "For the first week Penny I want you to rest, then we will meet up again and check on things.  You are free to do whatever you want but I do ask you not go out alone.  Your brother may try to get you back.  Just so you know your brother owes my club $10,000.  He offered you to me as payment.  I don't buy girls but I will not let him sell you to someone else so I took you as payment."  Penny doesn't seemed shocked at all.  Cherise leans over and hugs her from the side.
