One Tough Cookie [COMPLETED ✔]

chapter 23

Later that day, we all went home with different emotions roaming within us, dad was clearly angry, Jane ashamed and scared, I on the other hand, wasn't completely sure of what I was feeling, I had mixed emotions of the event that took place less than an hour ago

When we got home it was clear we all needed to cleanse ourselfs, both physically and emotional

First, Jane had to talk to Dad, probably so he could get a hold of her parent.

I took the opportunity to take a quick shower and treat my self, I had scratchs on my knuckles and a bruise on my face, just below my eyes, nothing alittle rest and Ice can't fix

Jane entered the room just as I came out of the shower, with a towel still wrapped around my body

"Sorry, your dad told me to come Here" she said averting her eyes and leaving

"It's ok, come in"

"Thanks" she said

Looking at her now, I could see she was in a lot of pain both physically and emotionally, her face was swollen, her eyes red from tears and her hands still slightly trembling

"Er erhm" I cleared my throat

"The shower is ready, and there's still alot of hot water left"

"Th- thanks"

"Yeah.. erm, you need to get out of those clothes, so erm I'll leave something out for you on the bed"

"T-hanks, excuse me" she went into the bathroom with the extra towel

I sighed, thats the first time I've gotten three 'thanks' in less than a minute

After I got dressed, I left some clothes for her on the bed, then I got the first aid box from under the bed and left it for her to see when she comes out

Yes yes, its weird that I have a first aid box under my bed, well dad thought it would be safe to have atleast five different first aid boxes placed separately in the house, my room was one of those places..

After placing the box I decided to leave the room, she probably needed some privacy

Well I guess I'd better go downstairs

I can't believe I'm going to be sleeping in the same room as Jane, If someone had told me yesterday that this day would come, I would have probably spat on the person's face..

I guess thats how the world is, no one can predict tomor-

"What!!" I heard dad yell from the stair way

He was talking on the phone

"How can you say that, did you see the poor girl's face-"

He was quiet, probably interrupted by the person on the other side of the call

"What about my daughter, she was there"

Silence again

"Thats absurd!!"

Silence

"She would never do that-"

"Ok, what if we-"

Silence

"Shit!, ok fine, just get back to me if there's any news"

Now I was by the door, waiting for him to finish his call

"Yes, I will do the same, thank you" dad said before ending the call

"Shit" he cursed

I sat on the stairs, waiting for him to finish his call, which lasted for almost twenty minutes,
