Mr.Walker

chapter 6

                      ~Jessica~
I start to wake up to the sound of Charlotte's voice and her tapping my arm.

"Jessica wake up we're going to be late for school!" She screamed.

"Okay, okay I'm up" I say followed by a chuckle.

After twenty minutes of getting ready, we walk to the car and pull out of her driveway. As I see the school ahead I take my phone off of her car charger.

We park and Charlotte gets out and I mirror her actions. Walking up to the school doors and step inside.

I drag my feet as I make my way towards Mr.Walkers room. I talks a deep breath and step inside.

"Jessica so nice of you to join us!" Mr.Walker says as soon as I step through the door.

"Yep" is all I say, because I have a lot going through my mind.

                 ~Mr.Walker~

As I start to pick up the chalk to write on the board, Jessica walks in and I'm filled with happiness and say something quickly to cover it up.

"Jessica so nice of you to join us!" I say rather quickly.

"Yep" Is all she said back.

It makes me so upset to see her upset, she has a lot going on at home and I think school is her only escape . So I'm trying my best to not come on as a creep because it might scare her away. I don't have feelings for her!, Do I ?, No I've only known her for only a few weeks now.

You can't get feelings that fast can you?. No you can't.

As she takes her seat I start where I left off. Ten minutes later they are all doing their class work, I look up from my desk and see Jessica in the third row four seats down. As I start to look away I notice her chest and collar bone are covered in bruises.

It just hurts me to know that someone can put their hands on a child and get away with it. I have read all my students files and from what I read Jessica is 17 going on 18 in six months.

I hope she can get out of there and I will do anything to help.
I wonder if her friend Charlotte knows about this, they seem like sisters.

Parent teacher conferences are four weeks away and I can't wait to see how she acts around him/her, is she's afraid then he/she is abusing Jessica. And its a curtain type of fear, how do I know well because my mom was abusive towards me.

I know how it feels and I don't want that for Jessica, she doesn't deserve to be treated that way. No woman does .

I snap out of my thoughts when the bell rings, I watch as Jessica gathers her things and starts walking out the door.

                     ~Jessica~

I walk out of first hour and start to head to second, Why was Mr.Walker staring at me in class. Do I have a stain on my shirt!. I look down and find no stain but then I realized what he was staring at!. I forgot to cover my bruises!. I quickly walk back to my locker and grab my jacket and slip it on and zip it up.
Phew, its going to be a long year!.

(A/N): ohhh Mr.Walker revealed his biggest secret!!! He was abused when he was around Jessica's age too.
This is going to be a long book XD. XP
