Cassidy had left Jordan alone within her house.It was midnight and Jordan remained alone in the basement, with only what light the full moon gave the dark room.A hush fell over the house and during this time, his mind was pondering where did Cassidy go. Did she just abandoned him, was she going to burn the house down, or worse.Then his attention was drawn to his pain, small trails of blood came from his chest's opened wounds. The burn of her blade had etched its way upon his abbs.

Handcuffed to the bed and completely exhausted.As tired as he was, jordan could not fall asleep, so he thought of a poem from his favorite writter, Matthew Hamilton.He repeated this quote three times;

Jordan: "The hand in the dark, seeks the light. "The hand in the dark, seeks the light. "The hand in the dark, seeks the light.

His thoughts returned to the church near his families apartment. A young jordan would sneak out at night and enter its halls.There he would make his way to the alter.His fears and pain would be forgotten.As he stood before the alter, he would try to think of what he should do.

Just then, the door would open, with him wondering who it was. Footsteps, would be herd slowly coming his way.A familiar voice would reach his ears."Get up!"Cassidy had returned and removed the cloth from his mouth and. As the two eyes locked, cassidy spoke;"who in the he'll were you talking with down here?".With him replying with," no..no one, just recitng something.Cassidy saw that Jordan's spirit was still strong, but just simply spoke to him.

Cassidy: I'm glad your awake.
Jordan: Why?
Cassidy: I want you to meet my new friends.I told them about you and they wanted to come and check on you.

Cassidy smiled as they came down the stairs.She introduced them as Ryan, Josh, and Susan. Two Caucasian males and One Caucasian female.As they layed eyes on Jordan they all smiled and began to make fun of him.Cassidy watched as all three of them slowly approached him and began pushing him and humiliating him.Ryan turned on her steryosystem as the song, "Bad Bad Girlfriend" played.

As the music drowned out the sound of the two boys assaulting Jordan, Susan and Cassidy watched and took pictures.Susan assaulted Jordan next verbally and physically as Ryan and Josh held him down.

By the time Cassidy got in his face , jordan was barly conscious, but his eyes continued to stare into hers. Just then, her thoughts returned to her mother being shoot by an African-American gang member, which resulted in her spitting once more in his face.Jordan was tortured for hours until dawn.When he reganed his conscious, he saw Cassidy sitting in a corner and a plate of food next to him.

She looked at Jordan and asked him,"How are you still alive after all that?" Jordan simply said,"You told me to share your pain!
