~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jordyn Matthews came to the Block almost a year ago...Jordyn ended up here because she was searching for her sister Danina...She has been searching for Danina for a long time.... Over the years she always came close but never quite finding her...always missing her.... always coming up short...always hoping that one day she will find her.... it's been a long road....

Flashback...

Standing by the graveside...watching as the coffin as that contained her mother's body was lowered into the ground...searing pain radiating through her...hand clasped tightly in danina's...her father.... drunk, as always...whistling 'another one bites the dust' and laughing that evil maniacal laugh that makes your insides turn out...

Everyone thought her father was just in grief.... of course he was he loved her sooooo much.... little did they know that if it weren't for him she would still be there.... able to protect her girls as she always had...

About a month after her mother's death Jordyn woke in the night and heard danina crying.... she went to go comfort her.... what she saw changed her life forever.... her father.... danina.... danina crying as her father used her body for his satisfaction...she slowly moved back to her room not knowing what to do...so she didn't 'do' anything...for a long time it went on like that and any time Jordyn tried to talk to sister her sister denied it said nothing was wrong.... but during this time danina became more sullen and withdrawn...and then the bruises started to show all over her body and it was obvious she was being beaten as well as assaulted...
That's when their father started touching her...telling her how much he loved her and touching her as Jordyn had seen him touch danina.... she spent all of her time alone when she wasn't in school or at her job.... she had a wad of bills hidden in her room hoping that soon she and dani would have enough money to leave and never come back...unbeknownst to her, her father found her money and the plan she had written out to leave.... for her and dani to escape there was only a month left before there would be enough money.....and dani didn't even know jordyn had saved it and what her plan was....

Finally when jordyn was waiting for the last week to end...the last paycheck to come she told dani...they became excited and happy.... knowing that soon they would be away from him...Him and the hell he had been putting them through...the night before they were to leave their father had a poker game at the house...the girls waited and waited for it to end knowing that when it finally did they could go...their father would be too drunk to even notice them until at least late afternoon...they sat in the kitchen talking quietly and getting the men beers whenever they yelled for one and bringing them snacks like they always did...one time when their father yelled for a beer he asked for a round....both the girls had to go because one couldn't carry all the beers themselves....they both stepped into the living room beers in hand....keeping their eyes down as they approached the table.....it was then at the same moment that they both saw....the box.....Jordyn's box....their escape sitting in the middle of the table......their father staring at them...his words chilled them to the bone as he spoke

"Gentlemen" he said "for my last bet of the evening I would like to bet $1532.85 and my daughters! whoever wins takes all"

They just stood there unable to move...so scared as they looked at him.... knowing that if they moved this was the end...danina's hand slipped into Jordyn's wordlessly and they stood there shaking as the hand played out...their father won...He won all the money on the table.... well over $3000.... the girls wondered what next.... her fathers voice.... low even deadly cold as he looked at them and spoke

"My friends" He said "I don't want you to be mad at me for taking all your money so I give my daughters to you..."take them... use them they deserve it"....

with that four men began their decent on them...beating them using them for hours and hours.... the more they struggled the more they beat them finally jordyn just laid there while these men repeatedly used her.... dani still struggled with each new assault.... by the time the men left they lay bloodied bruised and broken upon their mother's bed...finally they heard their father's snores as he passed out dead drunk.....dani looked to jordyn and whispered
"Help me jord I'm dying" and she passed out into unconsciousness...her breaths so shallow jordyn thought she was dead...jordyn pulled herself from the bed...in complete agony...managing to get herself somewhat cleaned up and dressed...she wiped the slime from her sister's body the best she could and wrapped her in a blanket and carried her from the house...as she walked down the block carrying her sister's broken body the cab she called rolled by.... she took dani to the hospital and left her there.....knowing that with no money she couldn't help her sister...she went home....their father hadn't moved since she left....with a grateful sigh she slipped into bed and woke long before their father and was able to clean up the house and be ready for him...

When he woke he belted her upside the head and grabbed her by the throat...."where's danina?"...Jordyn looked him dead in the eyes and said "I don't know"...her father beat her again...the blows coming harder and harder until she damn near dead.... and then he left.... jordyn too broken and beaten to move slept.... when she woke it dark.... late in the night and her father still wasn't home....

with strength she never knew she had she got up and searched her father's house.... it wasn't hers anymore...it stopped being hers the day her mother died.... then finally she found it.... she knew he didn't have it on him.....finally there in her fingers was the money....the money he had stolen from her and the rest from the poker game....she stuffed it into her pocket grabbed her bag and left....walking out.....not looking back once.....not afraid anymore....she went to the hospital to get dani....when she asked about her they told her she was gone....dani had signed herself out....

That's when Jordyn's real journey began...the search for her sister.... always looking for her...coming close but never finding her.... her search has taken her all over the country to the worse and best parts...every now and again her father catching up to her and beating her and using her...nearly killing her because of the money she took from him...Jordyn has more then paid back her father.... since she left he has stolen cars, money, & beaten her and even took her most prized possession at the time....Her Harley Davidson motorcycle....when he stole that and sold it was the start of a terrible downspin for Jordyn that led her to the block....she started using cocaine a little at first bit you know how those things go......before long she was a junkie turning tricks to support her habit and that's how she ended up on the block...

just after coming to the block she received word that her favorite aunt had passed on and named her in her will leaving her a little money....enough money for her to open her massage parlor....in the first location...since opening her business Jordyn has been keeping her addiction under control until recently when she stepped back after moving to her bigger location....once again as the demons of withdrawal threaten to get the best of her..... Jordyn fights for life....for her business....for her friends....and most of all for the One who has her heart.....
