I had a missed call from some unknown number on my phone but that would have to wait. My shift just ended and Linda was saying goodbye to Emily as I buckled her into my tiny yellow Masada that was parked on the dirt in front of the clinic. "Now I want you to be good for your sister you hear." She said with sarcastic seriousness to Emily.

With her one ponytail at the top of her head she nodded wildly. "Yes!" She said as she hugged her new blue stuffed animal that I had gotten her for her birthday a few weeks ago. Stephen would kill me if he ever saw her with it. I kissed the top of her head as I shut the door.

"So how are those night classes your taking?" She asked.

I smiled. "I actually got my degree last week. I am officially a cosmetologist." I said with excitement... It has been two years but I have finally done it. I had graduated from Spokane Community College here in Washington state.

"Yay!!" She screamed as she jumped up and down. I laughed at the sight of her huge brown curls jumping up and down. "I don't know if I could handle driving an hour to get I school every day." She said. That's why I work here. I need has money to get to school. I live here in Chewelah Washington, almost one of the smallest towns in Washington. I doubt anyone eve knows were it is.

"Yeah" I said taking a big breath. "Don't worry I am not leaving any time soon. I have to get a building and get custody of Emily before I do anything else." I said

Linda's blue eyes filled with sadness as she looked at me. "Is he really that bad?" She asked. I nodded and lifted the side of my smock and revealed the huge bruise that was forming. She knew about the abuse but not my own personal harm. I didn't need her worried about me any more than she already was. She gasped at the sight of it. "Jenna that's awful! Why don't you just run away with her?" She asked.

I had thought about it believe me I had... But I can't just kidnap her. And I tried to take Stephen and my mother to court but he chalk up all my bruises to my own self harm... Unfortunately I had the cuts to make it viable. "I have no where to go, and I'm sure Jared would kill you for letting us stay in your apartment. I just have to bide my time. A few more months and I can file for custody again." I said. Hopefully this time it would work or at least provoke an investigation.

She shook her head. "You right. Jared loves me and all but I don't think he is ready for kids to be running around even if they are as cute as bunny." She said waving at her through the window. Emily opened and closed her hand to show her waving.

I laugh. "Speaking of which. I have to get home and get dinner made for the family." I said with a slight smile.

She gave me a side smile and give me a hug before I climbed in my Mazda and pulled out of the parking lot. I had bought pizza from the local pizza place an brought it home. I walked through the door with Emily on my hip, the babybag on my shoulder and two pizza's balancing on my hind. Please don't drop them please don't drop them. I placed the pizzas on the table and placed Emily in her white high chair as Stephen walked up behind me and got me beside the head. "Pizzas cold dumbass what took you so long?" He asked.

I just sighed. I didn't have an answer because a) the pizzas were to hot for Emily to eat so they were not cold and b) I came straight home.

I grabbed a slice of cheese pizza for Emily and placed it in the fridge on a yellow plate and grabbed another slice for my self when Stephen snatched it from me. "What the hell you doing... You don't get any." He said seriously.

I looked at him with wide eyes. "And why not?" I asked. I knew it was a horrible idea to talk back but I am getting sick of this.

"Girls who cut themselves don't need food. They should just get over it and die anyway." He said taking a bite of MY pizza. Perfect he is starving me know. He turned and walked into the living room with a proud stride. "Pizza taste like shit anyway!" He yelled back at me.
