We both got out of the car and we walked inside, his parents weren't home because they were on a business trip according to him. He walked me over to his room because we were both tired, I sat down on the bed with him and he turned on a soft lamp to illuminate the room a bit.

"so if you don't mind me asking, what's the deal between you and your parents?"

"my dad has always been there for me when I was growing up, my mom on the other hand is an alcoholic who doesn't give a shit about me. when the divorce happened she immediately started seeing people, I don't know about my dad because I haven't seen him since it happened. my mom met someone at a bar and they got along, the guy hates kids and was a dick to me but my mom didn't care. she and him abused me for years before I couldn't stay anymore, yesterday I found out my dad died months ago. I haven't seen him in god knows how long and now he's dead, the only role model I fucking had..."

At that point I was in tears and I felt him give me a hug, he really was a nice guy and I appreciated that.

"i'm sorry about that ma, you shouldn't have to go through that."

I was really tense because I'm not the one who really likes to be hugged and shit but when he did it I felt safe, I slowly melted in his arms and he put his chin on top of my head. He never let me go and I didn't want him to, i slowly started to doze off and he noticed this. He pulled me back to lay down with him and he pulled the blankets up to my shoulders before he turned off the lamp.

"sleep well ma."

I smiled softly and I fell asleep. I didn't really dream of anything that night but I woke up still in his arms and it was probably around ten in the morning or something, I felt really warm so I didn't get up also because I didn't want to wake him up. I ended up falling back asleep for a couple minutes before I felt him get up, I didn't want him to so I ended up getting up too. He saw me wake up and he smiled.

"you sleep okay?"

"surprisingly yes, it's better than sleeping on the benches at the courthouse."

My phone was on the nightstand and it buzzed, my mom was calling me and I decided to pick up.

She was super pissed at me for not coming home and I didn't give a shit, she was the one that hid my father's death for almost a year and now all of a sudden she cares about me.

I hung up and put my phone down before I sat down on the bed with tears in my eyes, he came over to me and bent down that way he could be eye level with me.

He lifted my chin up and wiped the tears off my cheeks, I fell into his arms and he wrapped his arms around me. I never had someone who cared about me like this so I had to get used to this I guess, he rubbed my back and said quietly

"please... don't cry...."

I pulled away from him and wiped the tears off before he said

"you wanna hang out with Ray and the guys today or should I drop you off somewhere?"

"if it's alright with you guys I guess I could hang out?"

"it's alright, you wanna get ready?"

"yeah, um I left my bag in your car and that has my clothes in it."

"I'll go grab it for you real quick."

"thanks..."

He nodded and left to go get it, I was left to question whether or not he liked me or something. I've seen him before skating by at the courthouse and at kickbacks with various girls so maybe I was like the others, maybe I was his side chick? He came back and gave me my bag, I grabbed it from him and pulled out some clothes.
