Emilia smiled and examined him carefully. Whatever this was, it wasn't finished yet, Jordan's throat was starting to swell. He'd probably be complaining of it in a few hours. "There," Emilia said, disposing of the wooden stick. "All done."

Jordan nodded and asked "Do i have to go to the doctor?"

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:22 am

"We'll keep an eye on that fever, if it comes up much more I'm gonna have to take you," Emilia said.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:23 am

Jordan nodded "Ok Emmy." he said softly.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:25 am

Emilia sat down onto the bed and pulled Jordan in her lap. "Momma should be home soon," Emilia said.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:31 am

Jordan nodded and snuggled close to his sister.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:33 am

Emilia smiled and held him close "You're safe here Jordan, I'm not gonna let anything hurt you," Emilia said.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:52 am

Jordan nodded.
"Emmy i'm home." Julia Emmy's mom called.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:53 am

"Upstairs momma," Emilia called softly.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 3:56 am

Julia came upstair "Hello Jordan." she said with a smile.
"Hi." Jordan said shyly.

"Jordan's not doing too well right now," Emilia said. "He's running a 102.4 degree fever." she said, adding. "e il papà è stato abusato di lui." in quick Italian.

(translation: and dad has been abusing him)

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:04 am

Julia gasped and said "Che cosa sei sicuro?"

(translation:What are you sure?)

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:06 am

"Sì, ho le foto dei lividi," replied Emilia.

(translation: yes, I have pictures of the bruises)

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:10 am

"Povero ragazzo, non possiamo lasciarlo andare là dietro." Julia said softly.

(translation: poor boy, we can't let him go back there)

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:13 am

Emilia shook her head. "no non possiamo, dobbiamo fare qualcosa."

(translation: no we can't, we have to do something)

A few days later Jordan whimpered softly as he hugged his sister goobbye.

"Jordan listen to me, I wrote down the phone number and put it in your bag, if things get bad I want you to call me and I'll come get you, I don't care what time it is," Emilia said, stepping back and nealing down to Jordan's level so he was looking at her. "You understand me?"

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:24 am

Jordan nodded "Yes Emmy." he said softly before their father came walking up.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:25 am

Emilia forced a smile and hugged Jordan again. "I love you," she whispered.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:28 am

"Love you too Emmy." Jordan said softly before their father grabbed his hand and led him to the car.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:30 am

Emilia bit her lip and tried not to cry as she watched Jordan get in the car. She didn't want to send him back there.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:33 am

Jordan waved back at her after he got into the car and they started drive away.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:36 am

Emilia sat on the front porch until she couldn't see the car anymore. She sighed and walked inside when she felt the tears brim her eyes.

by **Jordan Catalano** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:43 am

*2:30am* Jordan bit his lip as he dialed the phone from his hiding place, he hoped his father wouldn't find him while he was calling Emmy.

by **Dr. Emilia Rossi** Sat Jan 29, 2011 4:44 am

Emilia rolled over in her bed went she heard the phone. "Hello?" she answered sleepily.
