relieving stories

In the room they sat, Geeno and Kenna, on the couch. Kenna eating a browny crying and Geeno listing. Kenna was telling Geeno what happened to her like how she and Nadia were once friends and that school was the least of her problems. At home her parents fought and drank and fought some more. Her mother was abusive. Her husband Kenna's dad was always the victim. But Kenna's dad did not like Kenna so he used Kenna as a shield form her mothers punches. She said, "When I came home today my parents saw my black eye. They started to yell at me. They took my books (she is very fond of her books as well as animals) and started to hert me. I didn't know who else to go to. I have no friends and you are so close. Can I stay here?"
Geeno thought for a while he then responded I'll have to check with my sister and her girlfriend but I'm pretty sure they will approve. The only condition is that you keep in contact with your parents. I'm not saying that you have to see them just write a letter but never disclose that you are right across the hall."
They sat there eating and talking fi finally around 7 o'clock Geeno could tell her his tragedies. He told her, " My parents they were so nice and kind but they looked allot like our next door nabors. One night it was just like any other night and they were watching news and then we herd sirens. A couple barged in and ran out the back door police came in and shot the house up killing my parents leaving my sister and I to die with wounds in our legs and arms. They just left after realizing that it wasn't the people they were looking for. they were looking for our next door nabors. They turned out to be bank robbers. Ever since my sister has taken care of me. At least until she went to prison for not paying her taxes because she was in debt. Then I had to go to foster care where I had an abusive caretaker. After my sister got out I was 6. Once I left my caretaker the gas in the house exploded killing all the kids inside and the caretaker I was not that sad but I sure want happy about that. The police in California want me because they want to know if I did the horable crime. It seems like all the people I'm around die. I want it to stop." he was crying then. Kenna hugged him and said. "It will stop one day trust me now were can we go to sleep.
Geeno led her to the guest room and made her comterable and talked some more, "you need to stand up for your self when she beats you don't just stand there wishing for it to be over." with that he left and went to bed him self.
In the morning they awoke to the smell of pancakes baking in the kitchen. Geeno went into the kitchen in his pj's and saw that Kenna was alre already there talking to his sister. His sisters name was Violet. She had that name because of her eyes, like his they were a deep purple.Violet said, "I see you already have a friend huh Geeno. I wish you would tell me before you let them stay over but she told me her story and its OK, she can stay. as long as she does some of the work needed like you. Any way who wants pancakes?"
