| "Justin, I need your help." Andrea cried through the phone. Before Justin could respond he heard her mom and dad yelling dirty words to their daughter. Ever since Justin could remember, Andreas mom and Dad have always beatin and raped her. Even at the age of 10, she had to deal with more problems than an 18 year old did. "Andy, I want you to climb out your window and run to my house." Justin said afriad for his best friend. "OK?" he asked. "OK>" She whispered as she hung up the phone and did as she was told. Twenty minutes passed and soon Andrea was knocking on the timberlakes door. Mrs. Timberlake (Lynn) answered the door and gave a warm smile, it quickly faded as she saw Andrea soaked from rain, andsaw her puffy red eyes, assuming it was from crying. "Oh Drea, darling please come in." Lynn said to the precious young child. Lynn knew what went on at Andreas house, however Andrea pleaded that she didn't tell a soul because then she would be put in fostercare. Lynn knew she should tell, however the child had been in so many troubled times, putting her in fostercare would only make it worst. As Andrea walked into the house she gave Lynn a smile, but it quickly faded. Lynn gave her a pair of Justins sweats and one of his out-grown t-shirts. She quickly changed and when she came out she saw Justin and he handed her some hot coco. He lead her to his bedroom up stairs and when she layed in his bed wondering if she should say anything. "Dreas spending the night dear." Lynn whispered to her husband. Right away he understood why and quickly agreed. "Andy, it probably isnt a good time to bring this up, but im going to move to Florida, I'll be in the Mickey Mouse Club." Justin said feeling weight being lifted off his shoulders. He espected her to get mad and say something, but to his surprise she was very quiet. He got curious and got up from the place on the floor from which he was sitting. "Andy?" He asked. He then walked around the opposite side of the bed from which she was laying, to see her face. He smiled as she saw her peacefully sleeping. Even at 11 years old, he had strong feelings for her. And knew that some day, they'd marry. He crawled into the bed and fell asleep beside her. |
