Jenny woke up the next morning early as of her body was used to and went to freshen up and saw Adriana making breakfast with a tall man.
She watch as the two interact and act so lovingly. And suddenly she felt the urge to cry once again. She wiped it and came down the rest of the way and came in and said "G-good morning"
Adriana turned around, now older but still looked the same.
"Jenny?" She came over and hugged her best friend who started to cry.
"It's okay. Don't cry or you're going to make me cry too" Adriana said. The man just smiled as he flipped the pancakes.
"Have a seat" he said, his voice so deep she felt to her core.
Adriana pulled out the chair and let Jenny sit down.
"I miss you babes" Adriana said hugging her "it's been awhile"
Jenny just smiled "Adriana..." she starts to cry to again "sorry pregnancy hormones"
Adriana wiped the tears with tissues "It's okay. I understand. I have the experience before" and Jenny's eyes widen when she saw Alana coming downstairs with Ben and their children.
She looked at Adriana then at Alana "Oh my God"
Alana was confused "What's going on Mom?" She ask
"Honey I like you introduce to you my best friend from kindergarten till High School, Jenny"
Alana smiled "Hi. I'm Alana" she pointed to Ben who were feeding their children "This is my husband Ben and my children"
Jenny couldn't help but be happy for her best friend.
"How? Wait... how old are we again?" Jenny ask and that made Adriana laughed out loud.
"I know. Oh I forgot to introduce you to my husband, Daniel. This is Jenny"
And then there were sounds of running and boisterous voices
"I told you to get rid of the cat"
"Seriously. After some many years"
"Morning all"
"Morning"
"Mor" yawn"ing. What's for breakfast?"
"Close your mouth we have a guest"
Then more sounds of running feet coming downstairs were heard.
"Morning"
"Mornin"
"Mwoning"
Estelle came down and said "Say it properly"
There were two boys and one girl.
"The children?" Jenny ask and Estelle cut in "My children. There is one upstairs still sleeping"
Soon the table was filled with various types of food and the seats were filled as everyone began to eat.
Jenny liked it. She didn't feel..alone" and she didn't think about her husband and his new wife.
But then she realized she will get punished when she goes back to that house.
She teared up and looked up at her food, eating slowly.
Adriana who was in deep conversation with Alana saw Jenny's expression and ask "What's wrong?"
Jenny gave her best friend a stare and said "I have to go back to my husband and his new wife. Or they will punish me again"
The table suddenly became quiet.
The adult quickly told the kids to finish their food and go to school and soon the table were full of the adults.
Jenny was uncomfortable and said "I need to go back Addy" she started to tear up and Adriana looked at Estelle
"I will send her" Estelle said and got up, knowing she will be stubborn and insist on going back.
"Wait... how can we contact each other?" Adriana asks
"I have Dr. Estelle's number. I will go now. Thanks for letting me stay here, even if it's just for a day"
Adriana couldn't help but teared up "come by when you can okay. I'm here. We are all here for you"
Soon she was put in a taxi by Estelle despite he insist on sending her home himself and watch her go, and hoping everything will be alright.
When Jenny arrived, the car was parked in front. She knew that her husband is home and not at work like he suppose to.
She took a deep breath and opened the door to find the house was quiet. Too quiet.
Until she went to her room and saw Kevin waiting for her.
"Well well. Look who finally decide to come crawling back" he said
She knew she's doomed from then on. He came closer to her
"So you found a bastard to fuck huh? Who knew. I wonder if that baby in you is even mine in the first place?"
AN: *ready a machete* imma kill you Kevin Lee and it's gonna get ugly.
He stepped closer "And what is this I find out you have HIV Positive" he scoffed "Who knew... you are a slut after all"
She felt disgusted by his words "This baby is only yours and it is your fault"
He was enraged as he pushed her to bed and starts tearing up her clothes and as he whip her using the belt Jenny hold her stomach protectively.
The beating and lashing has begun. He got up and yelled out "Next time think before saying anything. Remember you are a bitch and a slut and I will always treat you like one"
He was then out the door leaving Jenny bawling her eyes out and she was too tired to even wash up.
She laid on the bed, wishing she never met him. Wishing she never fall for a man like him.
Regret. That was all it was.
She knew it was too late.
As she laid on the bed, the door banged opened and Karina came in
"Hey slut make me something to eat. I'm hungry" she commanded and pulled Jenny towards the kitchen.
She saw her husband glaring at her.
"I don't this slut to cook for us. We might get whatever she got" he said
That broke her. She knew this was the last straw.
She got the hot water and threw it toward them. She then rushed out of the door and soon was onto the busy street.
She ran and ran until she was by the side of the freeways and starting to grow tired and falls but not before someone captured her into his arms.
Someone familiar.
She passed out before she could recognize who it was. Not knowing she has changed her fate.
