Forbidden Relations (Closed)

Jason nodded and then backed out of the parking lot. He quickly made his way to the diner, smiling as it was such a relaxed setting. It was an old mom and pop diner, yet the food was great, low priced, and not that greasy. That was the best part. All the new restaurants seemed to have good food, but were stacked with grease.

He pulled into the diner, finding a parking spot, and then chuckled. "Umm, you might need to throw on a different shirt," he said, looking down at her top. It was still pretty wet, and he could see her stomach, as well as her sports bra. He reached into the back and pulled out one of his shirts, knowing that he kept spares for a reason.

He handed it to her, and then waited as she slipped it on over her other shirt. He chuckled as he looked at her. "It swamps you just a tad, but at least you aren't showing off the goods," he said with a wink, before sliding out of the SUV and moving to open her down.

He opened the restaurant door for her, and then smiled at the waitress. They followed her to a booth and then he sat, stretching. "Okay, first, pick what you want to eat, but then we need to talk about school and softball. So be ready to truthfully tell me what subjects you're failing or struggling in, what you're doing well in, and what you think needs to be improved for softball," he said, looking at the menu.
 
As they drove Regan got a response from her mother and read it but chose my relay the message to Jason. It had read "he better drive safe and get you here soon".

Whatever.

They pulled up to the restaurant and she was about to step out when Jason pointed out her shirt. "Oh, shit" Regan replied. "Sorry!" She took the proffered shirt and slid it over her head.

He laughed at how big it was on her and she shrugged. "Yeah it does the job though".

They sat down in a booth and looked through the menu. She decided to forego the salad and picked a dinner of pork chops and vegetables. Jason instructed her to be completely honest about her academic status then, and she sighed.

"It's not that bad" she said. "Calc is the main problem. I may have failed a couple of tests in bio too but I still have a B in there... So it's ok. It's really just calc, Coach. I swear."

She hesitated ...

"As for softball I don't think I have any real problems... But I do have questions... Do you... Like, think I'd be, ummm, that I'd be good enough for college?" She finally asked quietly, not meeting his eyes, afraid of his answer.
 
Jason nodded as she talked about her classes. He knew she was a very smart girl, so figured it'd only be one class that was really giving her trouble. "We can definitely solve your calc problem, so that's out of the way. We can also work on bio too, if you'd like," he said.

As she asked about softball, he just chuckled. "Regan, you're the most coachable girl I know. I told you to shorten your swing out, because you were pulling too many shots and everyone was noticing it, and you listened. I told you to cock your arm and throw instead of going through a windup when you were throwing to second, and it cut down stolen bases. Anything that I think can help your game, you try and do, and if it works, you stick with it. Coaches love that," he said.

The waitress came over and took their orders. He decided on a chicken sandwich with iced tea, and ordered her salad with an iced tea as well. He smiled at her and, when the waitress was gone, stuck his tongue out to let her know he was having a good time.

"Now then, as for college. I really think you have a chance. You're an amazingly solid catcher, in regards to your defensive capabilities, the way you handle the pitching staff, and then your cannon behind the plate. The only area I think we could improve would be your hitting, and that would just be your pitch recognition and getting your average up," he said. He paused to think for a minute, composing his words.

"If you are wanting to go to a particular school, and you are willing to work for it, I don't see why you can't get into any school you want. You're an amazing athlete, a smart girl, and know what you want to do. Does that answer your question?" he said with a smile, and then looked up as their food came. He was happy he got fries, but looked at Regan. "No stealing my fries. If you do, you owe me big time, and you'll pay up the same way my sisters did!" he threatened.
 
Regan's green eyes state intently into Jason's as he spoke to her about school ad softball. His words were reassuring, yet honest. She knew her hitting was her weakest spot. She was decent but not great. The truth was that she was relying on a scholarship for college, as her family didn't have the finances for it. But he wasn't ready to admit that yet.

"Thanks Coach" she said. "You'll help with my hitting right?" Asking was a formality. She knew he would help.

Their food came and Jason joked about his fries. Regan raised an eyebrow playfully and smiled. "It might be worth it... What's the consequence?" She asked as she took a bite of the delightfully tender pork chop.

She realized she really didn't know much about Jason except that he was a teacher and coached softball, and played himself. Technically thatwas probably all a student NEEDED to know... But she wanted to know more.

"How many sisters do you have?" She asked in between bites.
 
"Well, the consequence was my sisters had to give me a kiss. They hated hugging me and giving me kisses whenever we said goodbye or greeted each other, so this was my way of getting even with them. Yet they still stole fries," he said, chuckling. He was reliving the memories without realizing what he said the consequence was for his student and player.

"I have four. All are older than me, and all keep trying to meddle in my life. I'm either getting set up by them, or they are always checking up. It's kind of annoying, but at least I know they love me!" he said with a smile.

He hadn't heard a lot about Regan, at least her personal life, and didn't want to encroach on her. "What colleges were you thinking about applying to? I can tell you when scouts are around, but otherwise, that's about all I can do, aside from writing letters. And yes, I'll work on your hitting. Just expect to stay at least an hour after each practice, and expect me to pitch my best stuff," he said.

He was digging into his food and was wondering if she was going to steal fries. He had gotten so used to it growing up that it was second nature to him not to worry about his fries being stolen. He had a weak spot for the fried potato goodness. It was one of the only fried foods he'd eat, and he loved eating them. Still, he always made sure to catch whoever stole fries so he could exact his punishment.
 
Regan found herself smiling as Jason explained his sisters and the consequences for stealing his fries. She found herself wishing she had a relationship with her sister like that... But her sister had split the moment she turned 18 and never looked back. They exchanged Christmas cards every year, and that was the extent of their communication. She didn't blame her though. Their home life, while a secret to others, was complicated and not he best environment to be in. That was part of the reason why Regan was so desperate to get into college.

She nodded in response to Jason telling her to expect his best pitching when practicing. As she did the waitress came over and distracted Jason by chatting to him. Regan got the feeling they knew each other personally. With an evil little grin she slowly snuck her fingers over and grabbed a small fry from the edge of his plate, positive he wouldnt see her. She popped it in her mouth and chewed, before he looked back.

When he finally did she tried to hide her smile unsuccessfully.
 
"I told you not to take my fries," Jason said as the waitress moved away. He knew she had taken the fry, and caught her immediately. "You already know the punishment, so you te to pay up," he said smiling. He chuckled at the fact that he caught her pinching a fry.

He dug into his food, loving the taste. The cook knew how to get flavors perfect, or at least to him. He looked at Regan and thought for a minute. He knew she didn't like to share about her home life, but he wanted to know if he could help in any way.

"It's none of my business, but would you tell me a bit more about your personal life? I'd like to help you get into college, and I mean it when I say I'll help you any way I can. I'd also like you to know that I'm here for you for anything," he said softly, letting her decide to share what she felt comfortable sharing.
 
Regan's jaw dropped when Jason caught her, thinking he surely hadnt seen her! But apparently he had. Regan laughed softly. Surely he wouldn't make her pay the consequence. It would be wrong to do that...

They both ate in silence for a bit... And then Jason asked a question she didn't want to hear. Her home life. Regan chewed softly and thought for a moment. Setting her fork down she looked over at Jason, her gaze wary and calculating. Finally she took a deep breath.

"My home life is shit" she finally admitted. "My dads a drunk and a cheater. My mom is obsessive compulsive and absolutely freaks out when anything out of the ordinary happens- like me being late, or going on a date. She's also a gambling addict".

The entire time she talked, her eyes were looking at her food. Finally she looked up into his eyes, her own swimming in unshed tears. It was the first time Jason had ever seen that look of desperation on her face. "I NEED that softball scholarship, Jason" she said softly.
 
Jason listened to Regan telling him about her life. He had figured her mom was OCD when she tried to rearrange his classroom. He didn't know about her dad, and immediately felt bad about asking. She had a hard life, and Jason was determined to help now.

"We're going to get you that scholarship. We're going to be working nonstop, so you need to make sure your mom is understanding of that. Say that I'm being evil and wanting to win state this year. We are also going to work on your academics and make sure you get into any college you want, understand?" He told her, letting her know he was going to do as much as he could.

Short of her livin with him, he would make sure she would get into anywhere. He suddenly thought. "I need you to answer me fully and honestly. Do you feel unsafe in your house, and is it not conducive to your education and health?" He asked. He knew that the school would step in if need be to make sure that she was safe.
 
"Thanks for helping me Jason. You know, the whole team really loves having you as a coach".

His next questions too her off guard.

Regan's appetite had vanished. She leaned back against the vinyl seat of the both and crossed her arms across her chest in a semi protective stance. She knew Jason could be trusted, it was just so hard to talk about...

"The only time it isn't safe is when dad gets so stinking drunk and blacks out. He gets a little pushy then... But I just leave when that happens". She shrugged. "It's No big deal."

She thought for a minute. "I can never study there. Mom and dad are always shouting too loud for me to concentrate. I usually go to the library to study... I just can't wait to get out of there".

She had no clue what Jason was thinking about getting her away from her family. She couldn't imagine it happening until she went to college. She wouldn't have anywhere to go.
 
Jason thought for a moment. "How often does he get drunk like that? And what happens when that occurs? I know it's hard to answer, but I want to help you and I need to know this. I promise nothing bad will come of it," he said, reassuring her.

Jason thought for a moment. If things were violent or unsafe at home, he might be able to petition to have her removed from her home. He knew she had plenty of friends, or that she could stay with him if she wanted that as well.

Jason looked at Regan and decided to lay it all out for her. "I'm asking this because I need to know if you feel safe and can succeed academically and at life in other areas. If you aren't, I am going to petition to see if you can leave that house to live with a friend, or if you are wanting to, me even," he said. "I want you to have the best chance to go to college, and to succeed any way you can, and if your house isn't letting you do that, then I want you to be somewhere where you feel safe and cared for," he finished, before leaning back a bit to let her digest what he said.
 
Regan struggled to answer his questions. Even though she was 18 now, she still fel the need to lie, to protect her parents as they had always conditioned her to. She knew it was wrong though...

"It happens probably two or three times a week" she finally admitted. "

"Leave my house? i didnt think i could til i went to college... I mean... What would people say? And I don't really have any friends I am close enough with that I could live with..." She paused and swiped angrily at a tear that managed to leak from her eye.

"Jason I... I don't wanna talk about this anymore right now" she said, her voice trembling.

Just as she said this her phone rang. It was her father. She hit answer, but regretted it immediately. Her fathers voice rang out so loud she was sure Jason could hear his every word.

"Where the fuck are you, out being a whore with one of those delinquent boyfriends you have?!" He shouted. "Pick me up some fucking smokes on your way home. Don't forget either. And hurry or I'm gonna get mean and girl you don't want me to get mean!!!!!!" It was clear that the man was trashed.

The phone slammed on the other end. Jamie held her face in perfect in perfect composure as she gently laid her cell phone down on the table. "I need to go now" she said so quietly it was almost inaudible. She wouldn't meet Jason's eyes as she said it.
 
Jason nodded before signaling for the waitress. The bill came and he dropped a few bills on the table. He waited for regan to stand before following her silently out of the diner to his truck. He opened the door for her and then made his way to his side.

"I'm sorry I pushed things. If you need anything at all, call me or come see me, okay?" He said, makin sure she knew he was there for her, no matter what. He didn't want to leave her hanging or on her own, and he promised he'd help her.

He made a stop to a shop for cigarettes and then sat in the lot. "I need directions," he said softly. He knew the area where she lived, but wasn't sure how to get there. He followed her directions, and then looked at her. "If you need anything at all, I'm here, he said softly, squeezing her hand. He also told her where he lived, and then moved to open her door. "I'll collect later," he said with a wink.
 
Regan thanked Jason for the dinner as they walked back outside. "Don't be sorry" she told him softly. "Ive never told anyone that before. Nobody." She didn't have to ask him to keep a secret. She knew he would.

Jason stopped to let her go buy cigarettes and she thanked him again. She seemed to not be able to thank him enough that night. She had never had someone stick up for her like that before and it felt... Amazing.

Regan gave Jason directions to her home. She was a bit ashamed when they pulled up to her house. The weeds were as tall as the windows. Cigarette butts and beer bottles littered the ground. The whole place looked like trash.

"I'm sorry you have to see this place" she said softly. Jason explained where he lived and instructed her to call if she needed to. She nodded again.

Just as she slid out, Jason winked and told her he would collect later. Regan's jaw dropped and she started to speak when the front door to the house burst open. Her father, a bear of a man with a beer gut out to there came stumbling out and glared at her. "Where's my god damn smokes? I knew you were out spreading your legs. Always a little whore" he slurred.

Regan ducked her head and walked over, handing the pack to her father. "He's my coach, daddy" she muttered. With one last wave she walked inside. Her father remained outside, rubbing his belly and staring at Jason.

Taking the last swig from the bottle he threw it in the yard, turned and walked back inside.
 
Jason stood his ground, knowing that a man like Regan's dad wouldn't back down unless he stood firm. He stared him down, then shook his head in disgust for the man. How could someone that awful be the father of a girl as amazing as Regan.

He drove home and stayed by in the living room. He knew he'd be tired tomorrow, but was going to be ready if he was called by her. He wasn't going to take any chances. He just hoped that Regan would take him up and call him or come to him if she was danger.

He was watching TV, when he heard a knock on the front door. He got up slowly and then braced himself. He wasn't sure who it was going to be, but decided to be prepared. He slowly walked to the door and heard another knock, before opening it, holding his breath and wondering what he'd find.
 
Regan walked into the house. Her mother was on the computer playing online poker. Without a word, Regan walked past her and into her bedroom. After about five minutes her door, which had no lock on it, crashed open and her dad leaned against it, leering at her.

"I always knew you'd turn out like your mom. A filthy hoe". The man shook his head. "Screwing a teacher, your coach. That's desperate chick. Especially when you me right in front of ya." His pudgy hand traveled down to his crotch.

Regan glared. "You're drunk" she accused. "Go away".

"Don't tell me what to do you little bitch" the man growled, as he stepped into the room, crowding her space. He reached for her and she ducked. His hand caught her shirt and he snorted. "You're even wearing that mans shirt.

With that he slung her onto the bed, tearing the shirt in the process and making Regan strike her hip against the bed post. Without hesitation, Jamie leaped off the bed and sprinted for the door. She managed to squeeze through as her father tripped her. She fell and hit her cheek in the wall but kept scrambling, and somehow made it out the door.

From the door, she ran. As fast as she could. She didn't stop, didn't know where she was going, until suddenly she was at Jason's front door. Breathless, tears streaming down her face, a bruise forming on her cheek and hip, she pounded on the door.
 
Jason wrapped his arms around Regan, pulling her into his house. He locked the door quickly and pulled her into the living room, sitting her down. "What happened, sweetheart?" He asked. He could see the ripped shirt.

He gently pushed himself back and looked at her. He could see her red eyes, and immediately paid attention. Her eye looked a bit black, but it seemed to be spreading from her cheek. He gently pushed her hair back, seeing the bruise.

"Oh dear," he said softly. He stood up and went to the freezer, grabbing a bag of frozen peas. He came back and gently held them against her cheek. "You're safe here, and if you just want to sleep, I can set up the spare room. Does that sound good?" He asked.
 
Regan didn't speak at all. She just sat there, silent tears tracking down her cheeks. She didn't sob, made no noises. She allowed Jason to press the peas to her cheek, wincing as he did.

Jason asked if she wanted the spare room. What she truly wanted was to be near him. But she couldn't ask that of him. He was her teacher. Her coach. She finally nodded, indicating that would be fine.

She continued to hold the peas to her cheek until he came back. When he did, she stood. She still never spoke a word. Instead she went in and stripped down to her sports bra, leaving the athletic shorts on. She then lay down on the bed and looked up at him, giving him the weakest, smallest smile ever... But a smile none the less.

She decided she would explain in the morning .
 
Jason waited until Regan's eyes were closed, and then took a seat in the chair next to her bed. He could tell when she was asleep by her rhythmic breathing, and took her hand, clasping it softly to let her know she wasn't alone, and was safe.

He thought about what needed to be done. He knew that her father was drunk when he dropped her off, and could only guess that this was a result of his drunken stupor. He took a couple pictures, making sure to time stamp them so that they were fresh.

He also knew that he'd have to call into work tomorrow and get ahold of the principal early. Things had to be done to make sure Regan was safe, and her father definitely was not keeping her safe. He laid back after setting his alarm, his hand clasping hers, letting her know that she was safe and cared for, and that nothing would ever happen to her while he was able to protect her.
 
Regan had one of the most peaceful sleeps of her entire life. When she finally woke, Jason was slumped in the chair beside the bed, holding her hand. She gently pulled hers away, having to pee. The moment she did though, Jason awoke and sprang to life.

"Did you sleep there all night?" Regan asked. "You didn't have to but you did anyway... Look, Jason... Last night I... He was..."

You could guess what was coming. An excuse for the old drunk. That's how anise works so many times. The victim is practically brainwashed into believing the abuser can do no wrong.
 
Jason smiled and shook his head. "I know that's not the truth. I can prove it too," he said before standing up and removing his shirt. He turned around, showing the scars on his back. "My dad was a mean drunk. He'd come home from work already pretty well off, and he'd just keep going. When he was out of his mind drunk, he'd pull off his belt and tell me to take my shirt off. I was the one who took the beating, even when my three sisters were still in the house. I never let him touch my mom or sisters, instead provoking him." he said.

Jason pulled his shirt back on as he turned around. "My dad ran out of booze one night, and decided to drive to get some. He was hit by two cars and ended up dying on arrival at the hospital. My mom never got married, instead raising me and my sisters. I know what it's like to be scared to be home," he said softly.

He exited the room, wiping his eyes. He quickly called the principal and explained the situation quietly, before excusing himself and Regan for the day. He went back into her room and smiled. "You need to shower, and then we are going to sit in the kitchen, get some food in us, and we are going to figure out what to do about your academics and softball," he said, leaving no room for opposition.
 
Reagan sat perfectly still, watching Jason as he sripped his shirt off. Her first thought was of how perfect his body was. Her second was one of dismay at what he said. She had saw the scars before at practices but never knew what they were from.

Regan was speechless. Jason actually had tears in his eyes as he spoke. Tears filled her own eyes as well. After a moment Jason got up and walked out. Regan remained in the bed, thinking and contemplating. A few minutes later Jason came back in, and instructed her to shower. She nodded slowly and went to stand up.

She winced when she did and lifted up her shirt to look. A huge bruise the size of a football covered her entire hip. It was a bit swollen as well. Quickly she put the shirt down and without a word squeezed past Jason to go into the bathroom.

What she saw in the mirror made tears fill her eyes. The whole side of her face was a ruse as well. She looked like death. Leaning back against the wall, she slid to the floor and let the tears flow. The tears turned into sobs until she was crying full out, reliving in her mind the night before.
 
Jason could hear Regan crying in the bathroom, and he immediately went to the door. He paused with his hand hovering above the handle, wondering if he should go in or not. Finally when the crying turned into full out sobs, he opened the door.

He was greeted with the sight of Regan on the ground, in a full-blown breakdown as she was crying full out. He sat down beside her, putting an arm around her. She seemed not to notice, and without a thought, he pulled her onto his lap, wrapping both arms around her as be buried her face in his shoulder.

He gently rocked her, as much as he could, while rubbing her back. He didn't try to pull her out, but instead let her cry herself out. "You're safe here sweetheart. I promise nothing will happen," he repeated softly, while rocking her and rubbing her back. Finally, he gently stood up, pulling her almost lifeless form with him, before turning the shower onto warm water. He pulled her in and then sat down with her, letting the warm water wash over them.

He was just trying to comfort her, let her know that he was there for her and he would make sure she was safe as could be. He continued to rub her back and rock her softly as he let her cry herself out, letting the tears and water wash away her pain and sorrow until she was ready to shower and rest for a bit.
 
At first Regan didn't even notice when Jason came into the bathroom. She finally became aware of it when he pulled her onto his lap and just let he cry. It was what she needed. Years of pent up misery and frustrations wept from her eyes and onto his shoulder, soaking it. She really wasn't a cryer. Usually when things got wrong she got mad, not upset. But this ... This was like the dam had finally burst.

Jason stood with her clinging to his neck and stepped them both into a hot shower. The water seemed to help calm her and after a few minutes Regan was able to stop sobbing. Tears still leaked from her eyes but it was nothing like before.

She became aware of other things then also, like how strong he felt with his arms wrapped around her. How she could feel those muscles moving beneath her as he would shift her weight around. How both his and her clothes were plastered to them from the warm water cascading down.

Without considering the consequences, Regan reached down and pulled the shirt up over her head. It was then that Jason saw the football sized bruise upon her hip. Her sports bra didn't leave much to the imagination, but she didn't care. She stripped her bottoms off next leaving her clad on only the bra and a pair of panties, still resting upon his lap.
 
Jason looked a little surprised when Regan took off her clothes. He hissed softly when he saw the football sized bruise. It was an ugly, dark color with a greenish hue on the sides. He could see how swollen it was. It marred her otherwise perfect body. When she took her panties off, he could see that it went from about mid thigh to the bottom of her sports bra.

Without really thinking what he was doing, he took his shirt off, before standing up and pulling a stool into the shower. He used it whenever his knee was feeling sore, as an aide to wash himself. He sat Regan under the water, and then grabbed soap and shampoo, trying to remember that he needed to get conditioner if she decided to stay.

He started to gently massage the shampoo into her hair, not wanting her to have to move her left arm too much. He knew from experience that she was most likely very sore, and somewhat stiff as well. Once he was satisfied with the lather he had, he gently washed the shampoo out.

He knelt down behind her, and then started to gently rub the soap across her soft skin. He started at her neck, and then worked around her sports bra, before softly rubbing the soap across her bruise. He could feel a few cuts, as puss had oozed out onto the skin. He made sure to be as gentle as possible, washing down her back to her legs. He moved around to her front and washed her front, before gently rinsing the soap off.

"I'll step out and turn around while you wash everything else," he said softly, before opening the shower door. He moved to go get towels, keeping his back turned. He softly added, "If you need anything, I'm here."
