MC Devil Dogs #4 Which One Should I Love?

Things go from bad to worse

Penny

     It's almost time for me to serve the men dinner.  I managed to make steak, potatoes and aspargus.  I am plating the food when someone presses their body up against me.  I am startled and nearly drop the plate.  I look back to see the man that I did not like earlier.  I tried to back away from him and put the kitchen island between us.  He smiled at me and said "You are a really pretty girl Penny."  I didn't want to respond but I didn't want Stephan mad at me either.  I said "Thank you sir.  If you will go have a seat I will bring you your plate."  He walks by me and drags his hand across my ass.  I shudder with his touch.  He is a nasty man.  I serve everyone their plates and make sure everything is on the table for them.  I then went back to the kitchen to finish icing the cake for dessert.  I finish up then go to sit the cake on the table for each one.  As I walk by the nasty man he slips his hand around my back right on top of my butt.  He tells Stephan that he has a great cook in his little sister.  Stephan smiles but seems mad at the same time.  I don't know what that is about.  I finished serving them dessert and removed their dinner plates.  I start cleaning the kitchen up.  I drop a fork on the floor so I bend over to pick it up and all of a sudden someone grabs my ass.  I jump and step back.  I turn to see the nasty man again.  I tell him "Do not touch me again!"  He laughs and says "Oh little girl you have no clue do you?  Just give it a year or two and I will show you how my touch can make you feel so damn good."  He walks closer to me and I step back but he pins me against the wall.  I am starting to freak out.  He leans down and tries to kiss me but I slap him.  He laughs again but then I see Stephan come in.  Never thought I would be glad to see him again.  Stephan tells me to go to my room.  I take off running.  I get to my room and slam the door.  I think I am going to be sick.  I run to the bathroom to wash my face trying to calm myself.  I lay on my bed willing my heart rate to slow down.

     I laid there for about an hour before I heard a knock on my door.  I open my door to see one pissed off Stephan.  I back up into my room.  He steps in and grabs my arm holding me still.  He yells "How dare you flaunt yourself in front of my business associates acting like a God damn whore then get pissed off when one makes a move on you!"  Before I knew what had happened I am on the floor holding the left side of my face.  He screams "Get up now!"  I'm scared to death right now but I get up as fast as I can.  He then slaps me again.  I am so shocked right now.  I begin to cry.  I start sobbing "I didn't do anything he came in the kitchen trying to touch me and grabbing my butt."  That statement earned me a punch to my stomach.  I fall to the ground and gasp for breath.  As I am on the floor trying to breathe he kicked me in my face.  I felt sick to my stomach as blood fills my mouth.  I lay on the ground sobbing as he walked out of my room.  I miss my mom.  I don't want to be here anymore.  I hate him.  I hate him.  I cried myself to sleep that night. 

     It's been a week since Stephan beat me.  He kept me out of school while some of my bruisies healed.  He told the school I had a skateboard accident.  Today is my first day back to school and I am so thankful as long as I am at school he is not around me.  I get to school that morning and get to my homeroom.  I sit to the back and say nothing.  Some of the girls look at me funny.  I know I still look bad because now my bruises are yellowish green color.  My teacher walks back to me and ask me if I am okay.  I tell her "Yes mam."  I continue throughout my day thinking about how happy I was when my mom was alive.  I never thought my life would turnout like this.  I am in my last class when I am called to the office.  I go into my principal's office.  I see a nurse and some other woman sitting there that I have never seen her before.  I take a seat and wait to see what they say.  The principal starts first "Penny I brought you in here because some of the teachers brought it to my attention that you have had several injuries lately."  I sit there quiet not saying a word.  The new woman asked me "Can you tell me what happened to you Penny?  You know you are safe with us and if someone is really hurting you we can help you."  I debate if I should say something or not.  I want to but at the same time I am more scared of Stephan.  I decided that it's best to stay quiet about the abuse.  I tell them the same stories my brother has been saying.  They all sigh and look at me with sadness.  The bell rings and I leave to go home.  Maybe I should just run away.  The only thing about that is I have no money, I don't know anyone and have no where to go. 

     I am in the kitchen cooking dinner when Stephan walks in.  I try to stay calm but he walks closer to me and says "I heard you decided to talk at school today."  I start trying to deny it but he just pulls back and punches me in my face.  I try and get away from him.  As I run away he snatches my hair from behind and drags me backwards.  He then opens the basement door and kicks me from the top of the stairs down to the bottom.  I hit with cement floor with a thud and everything goes dark.  I don't know how long I was blacked out but when I tried to stand up I realized that my ankle was very painful.  I crawl over to the cardboard box again and laid on it.  I try to get my shoe off but it was difficult because my ankle was very swollen.  My head was also bleeding and my cast was cracked open.  I decided to just pull it all the off because it was not doing any good now.  I tore a piece of material from my shirt to try and wipe the blood off my head.  I laid there wishing I had just ran away already because I have a feeling things will never be good again for me.  I cried myself to sleep that night. 

     I have been in the basement with no food for about three days.  I am able to get water out of the sink in the half bath down here.  I don't know when Stephan is going to let me out or give me food.  He may just leave me down here to starve to death.  It's not like anyone would miss me.  I laid there all day wishing my mom was still alive.  Late that night I hear the door unlock.  Stephan didn't say anything he just opened the door.  So I took that as I can leave the basement.  I slowly managed to climb the stairs but my ankle was killing me by the time I reached the top.  I was sweating bullets from the pain.  I didn't see Stephan anywhere so I made it into the kitchen and made a sandwich.  I hurriedly ate it so I could go to my room.  I get to my bedroom and go to the bathroom to take a quick bath.  I feel dirty after laying down there on the floor for three days.  I managed to clean myself and as I stand naked in front of the mirror I see all kinds of bruises on my body.  I look awful.  I bet there is no way he will send me to school anytime soon.  I throw on my pajamas and go lay down. 

     The next morning I get up to my alarm so I can go downstairs to cook breakfast.  I know if he unlocked the door he expects me to cook.  I made him biscuits, ham and eggs.  I carry his plate to the table then turn to go back to the kitchen as he steps into the room.  I look down to the floor and continue on my way.  I come back in with his coffee.  He looks up at me and then grabs my wrist.  I freeze in place.  I don't think I can deal with another beating right now.  He tells me "I called the school yesterday and told them that I was withdrawing you for homeschooling due to their allegations of abuse."  Oh no!  I don't say anything but I know if I am not going to school and no one sees me then he could care less about bruises.  He asked me"Penny did you hear me?"  I go to nod my head but instead say "Yes sir."  I would find out soon though that there would be no more schooling for me.  The beatings became more frequently and for no reason.  I wasn't allowed to leave the house for nothing.  He put a bodyguard on me so that I couldn't sneak out.  I was locked in the basement more times than I could count.  I decided to sneak a blanket down there so I would atleast have some cover.  I don't think I will ever have any type of life.  If I was not such a coward I think I would just end it all.  I am too scared to die though.  I never know what tomorrow will bring but I am certain it will bring more pain though no matter what.
